Romeo and Julian

Four

Romeo pov

My day starts at 6am everyday, but I like to get a good workout in so i wake up near five. No matter how tired i am, this is a job I can never call out from. I get out of my nice soft comfy bed to make it, then I kneel down near the edge of it and do a prayer. After I get done praying I head downstairs calmly and easily, since I'm the only awake at this time, no annoying brothers or sister, just peace and quiet. I head to the gym in the basement of my house, I do a quick workout while listening to my favorite song which is 'eros ramazzotti musica è'

E sotto il sole che fulmina i cortili. I sing along before I stop the treadmill and hop in the shower that's in the gym. I start by washing my hair then my body, which takes me about 20 minutes. I grab the towel from the shelf in the bathroom and wrap it around my waist to go get some clothes. By the time I get to my room, Rosa, my chef is already starting on breakfast bruschetta and some coffee. I look into my closet and grab a white button down, with a navy blue suit to go over it. I grab my watch from my night stand, along with my brush to start brushing my medium brown hair to the back of my head. I grab some combat gel off my night stand and brush it back again, purposely leaving a couple strands to fall in front of my face. I  put the brush down on the nightstand and walk to the bathroom in my room to wash the gel of my hands.

"Merda!" (Shit!) i say out loud once I realize the time. I walk to the kitchen pull out a chair and have breakfast in 5 minutes, before heading to a meeting with Il padre (father). It's 6:30am, I know father gonna be pissed, but I'm pissed for even agreeing to do this shit. I get out the car and walk into the apartment complex, which is where my father likes to hold meetings. I walk into a ongoing meeting with the other "board members". I take the only seat left which is the one closet to the projector board, get a pencil out and continue listening to what my father and the other "board members" has to say for the next three hours.

I zone out until I hear the name Milo.

"Milo, is friends with this guy." One dude with a scar across his face says. He then points to a picture of a cute guy with short black hair. "He's the one we need." Scarface says.

"How can we use him, when he's not around. Not to mention he has friends in high places." another Scarface dude chipped in.  So we got Scarface number one and Number two.

Rommel, my best friend takes a sip of his coffee and raises his eyebrows at me. 

"I happened to know him." he says which catches me off guard, because he is the reserved type. The type to not want to leave the house unless, it's life or death. Everybody quiets down and looks in his direction.

"Well don't stop there, go on, boy." My father spits at him.

"Well, I know he owns the club we're looking to invest in, and he's omosessuale..gay. everybody gasps at what he says.

"And how do you know this... this boy." My father sit down in his in seat. i can tell he's making his master plan right now, all just because mother wanted out. He wants to prove to her that this type of business can bring happiness, which to him is money and power. But my mother just wants to be happy without having to fear for her life. After their huge disagreement she left, it was either her or the job, and you can guess what he choose. I zone out of my thoughts when Rommel puts his hand on my shoulder and smirks at me. Merda! I groan Internally. He's planning something.

" I met him six months ago at his bar called VIBEZZ. I saw him running through the bar looking for some guy name Luke." He pause as if he's trying to remember if that was the other guys name or not. " His name is Julian, he's 22 and we're actually acquittances. I saved his life after he got shot two times, outside his club."  

"I guess this means you have a plan." My father questions him.

"Yes," he stands up and smirks at me while heading to the projector with a remote in his hand. He clicks the button and it shows a video of Julian, dancing and drinking at his club. " We're not close but I often hear him complain about being single and needing to get undone by someone. He once, and I quote said 'I need an Italian mafia to kidnapped me and fuck me so hard that we'll bring the apocalypse.' He's a treat but he's gay once again." He says looking in my direction, which I now notice everyone is looking in my direction.

" This is perfect. Your mother complains and nags how you're gonna be single for life. This is your chance to prove her wrong and this is our chance to finally be the number one organization and finally stop being number two. And all you have to do is make him your fiancé." he says with a cunning smile on his face as his black hair falls out of his perfectly slicked backed bun.

"Father I'm not going to mess with some kid, especially not one as immature as him." I point to the projector. 

"Of course you will." He say it in a way that makes the whole room goes cold. "Problem solved, meeting adjourned." he claps his hands and everyone including me leaves the room to exit the apartment. 

I head to the car where Levi held the door open for me. I just wanted to be in the comfort of my own home and also eat my mothers cooking. I'm glad I'm going to visit her in three days. I torn from my thought when i feel the car jerked back irregularly. 

"Levi, what the hell was that." i groan

"I don't know sir, he just started backing into us." he seems scared.

"Don't worry, I'll check it out." i reassure him that this was not his fault and there was no need to get worried.

When I get out of the car I see the same immature kid from the videos and picture. I guess it's time to make my move, but he's already getting on my damn nerves. Somedays I just want to say fuck father and that mother was right, but I start to feel bad that the oldest sibling which is me is betraying their father the same way mother did. Or maybe father betrayed her for choosing the job. 

I walk closer to Julian and see him undressing me with his eyes, but it's making me feel good.

"Come with me Coglione." I turn around breilfy only to realize he's still getting me naked in his head.

"God,  ha la testa tra le nuvole." ( his head is in the clouds) I snap my fingers at him and still nothing. "do you need hearing aids to." This finally snaps him out of his trance.
