"I'm so fucking sorry"

"There's no going back on this Enzo you've completed broke her and she's fucking strong we all know that stronger than most of the men working here", he says as I rub my hand on my head.

"I know I've fucked up", i reply. "I'll apologise tomorrow it's too late", i say standing back up. "He knows who she is", he says as I turn to face him. "Who"? I ask.

"Giovanni". "She said he told her to tell you that he'd see both you and her soon", he adds. "Shit", i say. "How the fuck", he says as I interrupt. "I don't know I'm too tired for this shit we'll work on it tomorrow thanks for telling me", I say as he nods.

Aria:

I woke up to the sound of a shower running opening my eyes to quickly realise I wasn't in my own room. The shower turns off as someone walks about before leaving in a towel.

Holy shit.

Before me stood Caleb with a towel wrapped around his waist hanging below his v-line. "Shit sorry I didn't mean to wake you I just had to get ready", he says grabbing some clothes from his drawers. "Oh no your okay I guess I ended up falling asleep I'm sorry", I say as he nods.

"Your alright don't worry about it the couch was pretty comfy", he says. "Oh god you should've woke me up or at least slept in your own bed", i say as he shakes his head. "It's fine honestly don't worry about it you had a pretty rough night. "Yeah", i say. "He's really sorry he's beating himself up about it", he adds .

"I know it was really a joint effort but I guess we were just blaming one another where is he"? I ask as he answers. "He's in the gym blowing off some steam". "Okay thank you", i say as he smiles. "I'll leave you to get changed".

I make my way over to Enzo's room getting changed before removing my makeup from the previous night on my way to find Enzo. I could hear faint banging coming from the room as it grew louder the closer I got. The walls were mirrored inside so I could tell exactly where he was facing his back to me hitting a punching bag that was dangling from the ceiling.

I walked over slowly before he starts to move around the bag noticing I'm standing behind watching him. He turns to face me in silence holding both hands down either side of him with sweat dripping down off his head onto his face. His was wearing nothing but a pair of black shorts and matching shoes.

"I'm so fucking sorry", he says removing the gloves from his hands. "I didn't mean what I said at all I know I've been a dick and haven't spoke to you since we've got back I've just been so busy and I know that's no excuse, I could've spent at least a small amount of time with you", he says.

"Please let me make it up to you", he says walking over as I nod. "It better be worth it", i say as he smirks. "I'm sorry too for going out without telling you", i say. "It's in your blood, well I wouldn't be surprised", he says pulling me in for a hug.

"I have some things to talk to you about over dinner tonight", he says as I look up at him. "What"? I ask. "Don't worry about it just be ready by 5 tonight okay"? He asks. "Okay", i say pulling away. "You need a shower", i add as he smirks.

Whilst enzo was in the shower I decided to go and see if Lexi was awake which she was. "Hey", i say walking in as she looks up at me from her bed. "Hey, you alright"? She asks as I nod. "Caleb told me about last night and what enzo said he was totally out of order with that", she says as I sit down beside her.

"I know, he didn't mean it he just had a lot going on I guess but he's going to make it up to me tonight over dinner", i say as her face lights up. "And you haven't even picked out an outfit yet Jesus are you sick", she says laughing. "Come on lets go shopping", she says pulling me off the bed.

"I don't think that's a good idea", i say as she rolls her eyes. "We'll bring Caleb plus you can go and tell enzo now he trusts Caleb with you more than anyone", she says. "Alright but no promising he'll say yes", i say as she smiles.

"I'll go to see Caleb", she adds.

Walking into the room I still hear the shower running so I decide to knock incase the doors locked. "Enzo"? I ask as the shower turns off. "What's up", he says as I ask. "I'm going out with Lexi", i say as he opens the door revealing him with a towel wrapped around his waist showing off his toned abs and muscles on show with his body dripping from the water.

"No your not", he says walking over to the sink leaving the door open as I walk in. "Why we are bringing Caleb we'll be alright I promise it's only for like an hour", i say as he faces me. "It's too dangerous now that gio knows about you", he says as my face drops. "How did you"- "Caleb told me last night after you had fallen asleep", he says.

"Please enzo we'll be back in no time", i say as he thinks. "Fine one hour tops", he says as a smile. "On one condition", he says as my face drops. "I knew it", I say. "You take Caleb and someone else", he says. "Deal", i say walking out to find someone random.

"Caleb agreed", Lexi says passing me in the corridor. "Okay I have to find one more to take with us anyone in mind"? I ask as she nods. "Take ash he's in the kitchen I think", she says as I nod.
