Loathsome Brothers

Coffee

Sandro's Pov

I don't know if I should disturb her or not but here I am going upstairs to her room with two bottles of cold coffee I just prepared.

I gave the door two soft knocks and waited for her. After a few seconds I heard footsteps approaching from the other side and she opened the door.

Her eyes and nose were red while her face was pale like all the blood has been drained from it. You can clearly see she has been crying her eyes out by how puffy they look right now.

''I was just wondering if you would like some coffee?" I asked showing her the bottles in my hand.

"No thank you. I'm good" She politely declined and looked at me as if expecting me to leave immediately.

"Come with me" I said and brought one hand forward for her to take while the other held both the bottles in place.

"Where?" She asked confused, probably thinking of some excuse to refuse going with me.

"It's a surprise" I said giving her a smile, trying my best to convince her.

"How do I know you're not taking me somewhere to interrogate me like your brother did" She asked with hurt clear in her low voice. I didn't miss how she called Andrei 'your brother'.

"Trust me Nora" I said genuinely.

She looked at me for some time as if trying to decide if she should trust me or not. But then placed her hand in mine.

To say I was happy would be an understatement. I was on top of the world. She decided to come with me. This is the first step. I have to make sure she doesn't regret it. I have to show her she can trust me.

I curled my fingers around her little hand and gently tugged on it to indicate for her to move. I took her to the balcony in Gio's and mine room then placed the coffee on the balcony floor while I grabbed a chair from the room placing it between the room and the balcony.

"So, get on the chair then step on that brick and climb up to the roof" I said and she looked at me in disbelief. She wasn't expecting me to bring her here.

"That brick doesn't look too stable. Does it?" She asked a little worried.

"Don't worry I'll catch you if you fall" I reassured and stood where she is going to climb, with my arms open incase something goes wrong.

She looked hesitant but then did as I had instructed and got up while I was cursing myself for being so careless and bringing her here.

Thankfully she didn't injure herself. When she got up she sat at the edge looking down at me and I could see her mood was already a little better than before.

"Take this" I gave her the bottles with iced coffee and then got up myself.

I took her to the center so it was more safe although it was still too dangerous as it was a gable roof. If any of my brothers find out they're gonna kill me for sure.

I know I'm an idiot for bringing her here but I think she needed it. As the cold evening breeze blew her hair I saw something in her eyes flicker as she tried to put them back in place. I think she likes it here.

"You know I only chose that room so I could climb up here anytime" I said trying to start a conversation.

"I must say it was worth the argument with the twins" She said looking at the miles and miles of forest in front of us.

"Don't tell anyone that I brought you here. They'll have my head" I said chuckling.

"Why? Am I not allowed to come here?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows. I forgot I shouldn't say something like this. Obviously she'll take it in a wrong way.
