Chapter 10

Valeriana's pov

Hands were placed on my back as I stepped back once more. I jump forward before standing next to Monroe. Aurelio was the one I almost ran into. Trey appeared next to his cousin.

"Don't do this, Roe," he whispered to his cousin.

"Who are they, Valeriana?" Aurelio asked. I purse my lips.

"Trey and Monroe. They are my friends from back home," I state. Trey nods his head. "Aurelio, Nazario, Santino, Matteo, Valerico, and Valentino. Then we have Lucian and Verena," I say pointing to each of them.

"Nice to meet you," Trey says, offering a smile. Monroe doesn't say anything which I was grateful for.

"Care to get out of here and celebrate like old times?" Monroe asked. Damnit. My brothers look at me as I stare at Monroe. She has a grin on her face. Trey started laughing. "You're not invited Trey."

"I'll see you guys at home," I say to my brothers before spinning around and walking away from my friends. Monroe laughs before jogging over to me.

"Race you!" Trey shouts causing me to stop. I watch him rush through the crowd and get to his car. He drives off causing me to casually walk with Monroe. My dad's were by my car. I decided to drive the car I raced tonight. I hand dad my other car keys before opening my car door. Monroe gets into my car.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow, I love you," I say while leaning on my door. Monroe slaps my ass causing me to get into the car and glare at her while she smiles. I start my car before driving home. I took a shortcut knowing Trey doesn't know this town like I grew to know. I pull into the driveway and get out of my car. As I head up the stairs I see Trey pulling into the driveway.

He shakes his head while getting out of his car. He already knew he wasn't going to win but it never stops him from trying. They follow me into my room. Trey holds out a joint. Monroe lit it before putting her lighter in her pocket.

"At least step onto the balcony, you dumb fuck," I snapped. I pull my balcony door open. We take a seat on the furniture I had out here. I take a drag of the joint before handing it to Monroe. My eyes go to the stars. They were shining brightly.

"So what are you visiting Trey for?" I asked Monroe. She looked at me with a weird look.

"My mother passed and so I moved in," she says. I shoot up with wide eyes.

"Shit, Monroe. Get your own fucking story, bitch. I know you want to be me and all but that's taking it a little too far," I say. Monroe chuckles before nodding.

"Too late now. I'm in it for the long run. What's happening next in your life? I need to be prepared," Monroe jokes. I roll my eyes before sighing.

"I'm sorry about your mom, I know you were close," I responded. Monroe takes a deep breath.

"I don't think It really sunk in yet. Plus I've been too high the last few days to really think about it," Monroe says. A deep frown set in on Monroe's face. Trey passed me the joint again. I take a quick drag before connecting my lips with Monroe's before blowing the smoke into her mouth.

"You guys are ridiculous. I'm gonna grab a drink. Do you guys want anything?" Trey asked. We don't respond as Monroe deepens the kiss. Trey walks out grumbling under his breath. Monroe's tongue brushed against mine before I pulled away. I take another drag before handing the joint to her. She leans back in her seat and takes a few puffs. She puts the joint out before setting it onto the table. I stand up and pull Monroe up before walking out of my room. Trey was drinking a glass of water. I lean my arms on the island as I watch him. He sets the glass down before looking at Monroe. She was searching through every cupboard. She grabs out a bag of chips when she opens the snack cupboard. I sit on the island and lean back on my hands.

"When are your brothers coming back?" Trey asked. I shrug my shoulders.

"Whenever they come back," I state. Monroe chuckles as she walks in between my legs. She set the chips to the side. Her hands grip my hips lightly.

"You know most people when they get high are laid back and get the munchies. You two get fucking horny. Then you ditch me," Trey groaned. I chuckle as Monroe kisses me. The only time we say fuck it to being friends is when we were high. I grip her chin while kissing her back. I will play along for now. This was definitely the last time this would happen if I was going to get with Verena. I wouldn't go farther than kissing Monroe tonight, that's for sure.

My ears pick up on the sound of loud voices. My brothers were back. I tried to pull away from Monroe but she bit my bottom lip lightly. A light moan left me.

"Get the snacks!" I hear one of my brothers shout. Monroe pulls away from me with a smirk. I roll my eyes. A throat clears causing us to turn. Valerico, Valentino and Verena stood in the entrance. They all had narrowed eyes on us.

"Nope, this is not going to be a thing!" Valerico shouts. Monroe chuckles before stepping towards them.

"Good thing it isn't a thing," Monroe states. She stands in front of Verena. In a quick second Monroe had her lips pressed against Verena's. My jaw clenched. That bitch did that on purpose. As soon as it happened Verena had Monroe pressed against the wall. Her arm in the middle of her back. My brothers had a smirk on their faces. "Damn, V. Are you just going to let her do this?" Monroe asked. My brothers look at me. Verena glanced back to see if I would.

"Mm, I like the way she looks pressing you against that wall," I mutter. My eyes trailing over Verena. Her muscles were bulging as she had her arms bent. My brothers elbow each other while smiling smugly.

"Valerena is a go!" Valentino shouts in victory. I roll my eyes.

"Little one, this is actually starting to hurt now," Monroe mutters with a wince.

"Can you please let her go? She's a dumbass and won't do it again, will you Monroe?" I asked.

"Fuck, no I won't. Damn, if I wasn't in pain I'd be turned on. I was just fucking around with Valer. You know, trying to get a rise out of her. It didn't fucking turn out like I thought it would," Monroe says. Trey and I start laughing.

"When have your plans ever turned out for you?" I asked. Trey laughed harder at that. Verena let Monroe go. Monroe grumbled before walking over to me and grabbing the chips and eat some with a scowl.

"You know one of these days my plan will go the way I want it to," Monroe says. I chuckle while looking at her.

"When that day comes I'll give you a thousand dollars," I say. Monroe stood straighter.

"Talk about incentive to think of every damn possibility of what can happen instead of one like I usually do," Monroe says. I roll my eyes.

"You'll still fuck it up," Trey says causing me to nod.

"Fuck you both," Monroe grumbles. I jumped down from the counter.

"You'll keep them busy, yeah?" I asked my brothers while pointing to my friends. They shrug their shoulders. "I'm taking a shower but if you don't want to keep them busy they are more than welcome to watch," I reply with a smirk.

"Woah, they can hang with us," Valentino says. I smile knowing I got them.

"Thanks, you're too easy," I say before walking past them.

"Woah, are you high?" Valerico asked. I turn around and look at him.

"Yes, what did you think Monroe meant earlier?" I asked.

"I don't know, it kinda sounded sexual," Valentino states. I chuckle while nodding my head.

"That's because it was," I say while shoving my hands in my pockets before I walk away.
