Adriana's POV
"Dima still has work so he'll be checking up on you four periodically. He'll mostly be staying at the apartment closest to his office. That doesn't mean you can't call him in the event of an emergency." Dad told us
"Dad it's six in the morning. Can't you just text this to us?" Xander asked groggily
"Shut up moron. If he texts it we can't use the excuse that we forgot the rules." I shushed him
"It's too early for your fucking schemes."
"It's too early to see your ugly face but here we are." I bit back immaturely
He punched me in the arm so I punched him in the chest. He tackled me and we started exchanging blows on the floor.
"ENOUGH!" Dad roared which snapped us out of our fight
"Get up right now!"
We both stood up and stared at the floor
"Apologize and hug it out."
We both forced out apologies and side hugged each other
"Now to my next point. Alessio is in charge."
"What?!" The four of us asked
"Dad I'm the youngest."
"You're also the most behaved kid I have. Your job is to just talk them out of stupid schemes or phone the only available adult when they don't listen."
"If that's the case I'll just tie him up and put him in the broom closet."
"That's what I was thinking too." Niko and I agreed
"If any of you bully Alessio I'm going to ground all of you for the entire summer. Am I clear?"
"Yeah." All of us said
"In the event of an emergency listen to Adriana and Nikolai."
"I'm the oldest why aren't I in charge?"
"I figured you wouldn't be home or you be screwing your girlfriend so I didn't factor you in. Do you want to be in charge?" Dad raised a brow
"So I won't get in trouble for their bullshit?"
"Depends how big the mess is and if you tried to intervene."
"That works for me."
"We have to leave now. Love you and don't do anything I would do." Dad hugged us
"Wait! Does this mean I'll be home alone?" Niko asked
"As if. You can stay in my room since we don't have a guest room. Don't be gross in my bed please." Dad pleaded with him
"No fair your room and bathroom are huge!" Xander complained
"Then if you trust your cousin alone in your room you can take mine."
"I don't have anything to hide in there." Xander shrugged
"So Xander sleeps in my room. Milo sleeps in his room. Respect your cousins space."
"I will."
With that dad kissed all our foreheads and left.
"I'm going back to bed."
"Me too." Lessi yawned
"Best friend meeting in my room?" I turned to Niko
"Duh." He rolled his eyes
When we reached my room we sat on my bed and started conspiring.
"If we're gonna throw a party we're gonna need to get weed and booze."
