Five Against One (18+)

CHAPTER 20

MAEVE ROGERS
I woke up in such a daze, getting comfortable on the hard thing I was laying on, until it snored, making me sit up, realizing I slept on Gio's chest.

"Fuck", I muttered quietly, not wanting him to wake up, not because I care about him, because I don't have the power to face him now.

I got out of bed, walking towards the bathroom, my hair looking like an absolute mess, what was I thinking sleeping with my hair down.

I did my business, trying to brush my hair out, keyword: trying, walking back towards the room, Giovanni still sleeping, walking towards the closet, wearing a beige sweatpants and and a white sweatshirt.

Quietly leaving the room, closing the door quietly, hearing voices downstairs, sighing, really not wanting to see their faces so I walked to the library, locking myself in there.

I laid down on the couch, wincing as my ass made contact with it, just staring at the ceiling, placing the hood over my head, silence filling my ears, relaxing.

After a little while of just resting in silence, I stood up, looking for a book to read, just laying on the couch, reading the whole day, enjoying the silence and peace I'm having after a very long time.

I read book after book, surprised the didn't even try looking for me, not that I mind, I'm finally having peace.

I read book after book, the handle rattling, making me sigh, rolling my eyes, placing the book mark where I stopped, putting the book on the table, slowly opening the door, all of them standing there, almost falling inside.

"Oh, hey there, Maevey", Romeo smiled softly, pushing everyone away, getting inside the library, "hope we're not interrupting something", he stared at the three books on the table, sitting down on the table.

"You already did, the fuck you want", they all walked inside, sitting on the couches, "apparently, we're having an event tonight, you're coming with us".

"What?!, no", Xavier picked one of the book from the table, reading the back, "not a question, sweetheart, you're coming".

"And yet, I said no", Vince chuckled, only now noticing he's having a drink in his hand,
"you're coming whether you like it or not, and if we will have to force you, you know we will".

"You'll also get to meet our parents, you'll have to face Vince's mom again", I saw Xavier tensing up, forgot he doesn't have parents, "no, I will definitely not face that bitch again", Vince groaned, rolling his eyes, "you'll have to eventually, better sooner then later, no?".

"Hmm, no", Vince gave up, making a proud grin appear on my face, "take that grin off of your face, whatever you say won't stop us from not taking you with us", I glared at Nico, crossing my arms.

"What is this book about?", Gio asked, picking up punk 57, "nothing, don't touch it, I was in the middle of it", I snatched it from him, placing it on the table far away from him.

"There is someone downstairs with a couple of dresses, waiting for you to come downstairs, and pick one, a hairstylist and a makeup artist will come later, and we may have made an appointment to get your nails done".

"Well, sorry to disappoint them for coming for no reason, because I will stay right here, and James will keep me company", I started liking the guy, even though he's playing 'tough'.

"No, you won't, and if we'll have to, we will tie you down to a chair and make sure you're getting your hair and make up done, along with picking a dress, and we all know you want to get your nails done", yeah, I really do need to get them done.
