Mrs Scuderi

chapter thirteen

                   Amelia's Pov
I wake up to something slightly heavy wrapped around my torso and immediately jump up when i realize what it is. "Get out, get out ,get outta!"i yell at her making her wake up abruptly. "What happened?"she asks half asleep. "You fucking happened! Why are you in my bed Fabi?"i ask getting out of it as if it'll change the fact that we broke one of the rules. "I asked you to sleep in my bed and you said no so i came here because this is not my bed,"she says trying to be smart. Technically that was true but she knew how strict i was with the rules. "Just go away before i show you what real sleep feels like!"i say gritting my teeth. She chuckles not getting up. "You're cute when you're mad you know,"she says eyeing me.

"If you think this is cute then get ready because I'm about to be gorgeous!"i say still mad at her for doing that. "Okay miss gorgeous I'll go but for someone who doesn't like me you sure do say my name allot in your sleep,"she said rushing out before i can smack her. I definitely did not say her name at any point because i don't recall having any dreams about her. I get into the bathroom noticing that the door that connects the two bedrooms is open and the shower is running. I will kill her. I think out loud walking past the bathroom into her room to use her shower. I decide to switch up the soaps with mine once I'm done showering with hers to teach her a lesson. If she thought i was going to shower with her after what she just pulled she better think her tall ass self again.

I'm ramaging through her closet when i find old pictures of her probably in highschool or something and she seemed familiar to me but i couldn't be sure. "What are you doing?"i hear her behind me making me hid the picture being my back suspiciously. "Nothing just looking for a shirt to steal," i say grinning and in one swift motion she towers over me snatching the picture from my hands. "Personally i thought you'd have been prom king or whatever title they have but never that,"i say making her frown abit. Did i touch on a sensitive subject for her? "Just get out now!"she says coldly raising her hand and my stupid reflexes make me cover my face thinking she's going to hit me because of how scary her voice is right now. i see the hurt in her eyes at how insulting that must have been and i walk out embarrassed. She would never hurt me like that and i know it. So much for wanting to get back at her.

I decide to call Ava because i remember leaving the house to her and now i wasn't aware of who was taking care of it while i was gone. It doesn't go through so i try it a couple of times and it does, "what do you want cheater,"she says bitterly but i ignore her getting straight to the point. "If you're here in Milan then who's taking care of my house?" I ask. "Mrs Darcy,i gave her your keys and filled her in on everything,"she says casually and i fight the urge to curse her out on her stupidity. The landlady who was old enough to be grandma's best friend? I hang up understanding what a parent goes through dealing with toddlers who expect you to make decisions for them.

Fabiana left without notifying me and i couldn't blame her. On the contrary i felt the urge to go back to her room and go through her stuff. Which i didn't because we weren't that close of friends that she'd let me off the hook if she found out. I was going through books on the bookshelves when Haviana runs to me hugging me from behind. "Hey Havi, does Fabi know you're here?"i ask noticing my nickname for her. "Nonsense i came to spend the day with my sister in law. I need a girl's day out,"she says whining and i can't help but agree because of how much she resembles Fabi when she does that and it's like that's her family's signature look to give into their demands.

"Okay..wait shouldn't you be in school or something?"i ask. "I do most of my classes online and right now I'm free so don't spoil it for me,"she says dragging me upstairs to Fabiana's room where luckily i haven't moved my stuff back to the guestroom. "Okay let me change and meet you downstairs,"i say. I find a dress from the clothes Fabiana had gotten prior to my arrival here. It's white and hugs my curves in all the right places. "I grab my keys and head out with her following closely behind me. "Did you come to me because i have a car Havi?"i ask tilting my head with my sunglasses on but she just gets in the passenger seat all quiet making me chuckle. Maybe if i introduced her to Ava they'd get along and she'd hang around someone her age.

"Can I ask you something about your sister?"i ask cautiously not knowing what their bond is like. "Sure but I'm sure you already know everything,"she says smiling. I don't that's why I'm asking. I think to myself. "What was Fabi like in highschool?I'm sure she's told you stories,"i say. "Ouu we never talk about that. She had a pretty rough time then,"she says and i notice the change in her mood taking it as a sign to not go further with my questions.

She didn't have a specific place in mind so we just hit up ice cream trailers and a few bakeries. She was so energetic and i was finding it hard to keep up especially because i was paying for everything with my own money. When she suggested to go to clothe stores that's where I had to draw the line. Mostly because i was using my money and couldn't tell her because she thought Fabiana had opened her accounts to me. I was even surprised she lent me her car. By the time we're done with everything it's dark outside and i decide it's time to go home but she still wants to go somewhere.

"One last stop please,"she pleads and i agree knowing the sooner this is over with the better. "Where are we?"i ask cautiously stopping a big building. "This is where Fabiana spent most of her teenage years,"she says and i look up again seeing a huge sign with something about it being a mental facility.

"Why what was wrong with her,"

"nothing,mom just didn't like that she was an intersex person and wanted her to be away from the family,"she says and my hatred towards miss Gianni just sparks further. Is this why Fabiana was was always soft spoken to her mother? Why she didn't have any friends or found it hard to deal with humans like she said? "Havi please don't tell Fabi you brought me here,"i say and she nods in agreement. 

"You're her wife,why didn't she tell you?"

"Because unlike her I am capable of sending your mother to the part of hell where she belongs,"i say seriously but we both know it's just a harmless threat out of anger. I just wanted to hug her annoying tall self and reassure her that she was normal and nothing was ever wrong with her, ofcourse as a friend. I drop Haviana at her hotel then head home to play my pretend role as a wife and an actual friend.

When i get home i hear noises coming from the kitchen and that's where I go. "Oh and that time you cried because i wasn't there to play with you,"a soft voice says before laughing as i walk into the room. A brunette woman around Fabiana's age turns to look at what Fabiana is staring at and when she sees me she smiles approaching me with open arms. "You must be Amelia,"she says and I'm surprised that Fabiana has a friend after all. "Lia can we have a minute?" She asks and both of us say sure at the same time making it awkward. "I meant Lalia,"she says awkwardly and the woman leaves us both in the kitchen.

"Who the hell is she?"

"Why,are you jealous?"

"No but I'm mad you didn't tell me about her,"i say genuinely. "She was a close friend of mine when we were teenagers that's all..we never kept in touch,"she says making me remember what Havi told me. "Did you meet at the mental institution?" I ask not caring that I'm the one who went against what i asked Havi. "Yes...wait..how..did you go through my stuff?" I contemplate saying Havi told me but i didn't want to get her in trouble so i nod making her slam her fist on the marble counter. 

"I'm sorry i didn't mean to i just wanted to know more about you and you never let me,"i say but she's rubbing her temples calculating her every move while pacing. "Just say the word and I'll leave,"i say but she instead leaves asking Lalia to follow her to the car. I guess i messed up this time. Well at least she was with a friend and not alone. But from the way it looked they seemed to have been more than that. I tried calling her to apologize but she didn't pick any of my calls which made me slightly uneasy. I contemplate my choices but decide to just let her be. She'd come around when she was ready. I didn't even get the chance to tell her that I'd be leaving for London soon.
