The Mafia Troublemakers

9. Bearing the Naked Truths

Brielles POV

"So, what are your names?" We ask the guards assigned to us. They are two burly men with blond hair and blue eyes, they almost look like brothers, but not quite. "I'm Tweedledum! But you can call me Dum for short" one of them says, Tweedledum grins at us while the other face palms.

Stifling our laughter when we realize he is serious, we look at the other one, "so I guess that makes you Tweedledee then?" Kendra asks him. "Yeah, everyone calls us that, it's not even worth telling you our real names. Not that he even remembers his real name in the first place." Tweedledee states.

We look to the front passenger seat of the car where tweedledum is humming twinkle twinkle little star. "So do you guys know what Zander and Xavier are doing today?" I ask the two up front. "I think they had to get some information out of a guy about a bad business deal with another Mafia this morning, that's why we are taking you guys to get your stuff and not Zander."

Kendra and I turn to look at Tweedledum. "Oh really, is that why Xavier was in a foul mood this morning?" I ask. We had arrived at our apartment building and while we packed up our stuff they both answered our questions about what all Zander and Xavier do, not realizing this is something we didn't know about until we got into the car with them.

When we get back to the mansion, (because honestly that's the only way to describe this place) Dee and Dum help us move our boxes and suitcases into the house and up to our rooms. "I think I have one more box downstairs guys..... Guys?" I set down the box I had in my hands and turn to look for the two who were helping me.  'Great, they're gone' I think to myself.

I walk back downstairs to see about my last box, when I try to lift it, I realize that it's too heavy for me to carry up the stairs. With a thought in mind, I rush back up the stairs and come to a stop outside of Xavier's room.

I knock on the door and then wait a moment. When no one answers I open the door..... There, with his back to me is a very, very naked Xavier. I stand there for a minute, just taking in his perfect ass, his taunt and beautiful back muscles and the way they ripple while he moves. I quickly snap out of it and slam my eyes close.

"Oh my god!!! Oh jeez I'm sorry!! I knocked I swear! It's just you didn't answer and-and! Oh jeez I'm so sorry I didn't mean to barge in!!" With my hand covering my eyes I lean against the door frame and stumble out an apology.

"Oh Fûck! Shit I didn't even see you there! Bloody hell! Now you choose to enter a room quietly! Jesus woman! I didn't even hear you knock at all!" I hear him exclaim before he shuffles around, presumably putting on some clothes.

A minute or two later he speaks again. "Alright coniglietto you can open your eyes now, I'm decent." I slowly remove my hands from my eyes and open them. There, standing in the middle of his room, is a freshly showered Xavier wearing nothing but a pair of jeans.

I try not to gape at his perfect abs while I get the sentences I want to say together in my head. "Well, are you just going to stand there or did you actually need something?" He says while walk towards me. "A box. Um, I have a box downstairs that I can't lift...and uh, the guards, they left and so I need help with it... Can you give me a hand...please?" I mutter out, I look down at my shoes, refusing to look at the gorgeous man who had stopped right in front of me.

He grabs my chin and lifts it so I am looking at him. "And what makes you think that I would help you?" He ask, a glint of humor in his eyes. "I said please..." My response is sarcastic and pulls a small chuckle from him. "Ok, but I have one question. Did you like what you saw?" I blush hard and turn around. "Shut up."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh jeez oh jeez oh jeez oh jeez!!! Ahhhh!" I burst into Kendra's room. Taking a moment to look around. I notice she has company. "Oops...." I am faced with the confused faces of Kendra and Zander. "I am sorry for interrupting but I'm running for my life right now and I need to hide, bye." I try to rush to the closet but Kendra grabs my arm.

"What are you talking about?" She asks me. "Ken... I let slip that we know... He got angry and I ran. Like actually ran. And I figured that you probably told the calm one over here so it was safe to hide with you." I rush out while still trying to get to the closet to hide. A yell is heard from down the hall and I squeak before sinking to the floor of the closet and shutting the door. "BRIELLE. I swear, I'm not that angry anymore just come out and tell me how you know."

I reopen the closet door at the sound of Xavier's voice. He did sound calmer. I get out of the closet and I face my maybe death.

In my room I find the clothes I was wearing when we were brought here. Searching through them I find my phone and some cash in the pocket of my sweatshirt. I turn it on and see I have 12 missed calls from my mom and 20 from my dad. Not good. Not good at all.

I quickly call them. "Mom! Don't worry! We are fine!" I say the moment they pick up. "Brielle Hunter you had us so worried. I swear, when your work called and said you hadn't been there in two days and the neighbors called and said they hadn't seen you two. We thought you were dead! You and Kendra both! And when you weren't picking up the phone! Your father nearly sent a search party out for you." She rants off to me, so loud that I hold the phone away from my ear.

"Mom, I am sorry, really but we are fine, we were moving. Yeah! Moving, we found a new apartment right in the middle of where we will be working that has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, it's much bigger than the cracker box we live in now and it allows pets! It was a steal so we went and got it before if was snatched up! I swear we are fine! No worries" after I spew off some lie to her and assure her we were fine I said good bye.

I get ready for bed after the interesting conversation with my parents. Thinking about the day I had, I quickly succumb to the darkness of sleep.
