Chapter 21.5: The Knight meets the Mafia Boss

30 1 2
                                    

Romeo Brantini, a young artist in cooking Italian cuisine with his younger twin brother, Antonio. An "amico" and rival of Julian Bridge, outside and inside the kitchen. And a fine Italian gentleman, who knows his position and place, and respects all women of all ages.

'And that would be me, Romeo Brantini.'

And I am now in a situation where I encounter the infamous "Shaine Knight" of Class 3-C.

I heard from Antonio that he shut that arrogant Isaac's mouth yesterday. And I say that he is one beautiful young man, and I could tell that he is one of those deadly smiling Pierro, a true mysterious yet attractive player if I say so myself.

"MIETITRICE." I smug to amico.

"What? Did you say something?" He asked, giving an ear.

"Ciao, Signore." I smiled.

He then answered me with a more vibrant smile, "Ciao to you too. You're an Italian, based on that greeting earlier." Signore Shaine added, wearing that mask.

", signore." I proudly stood, still wearing the maschera, "and you must be 'Shaine Knight'. I heard a lot about you from my brother yesterday, and I'm very surprised and thankful that you are able to shut that amateur's mouth. Albert should learn a thing or two from you." I commented.

"I'm flattered," he expressed, "but I got to agree, however, Julian really needs to learn more than that." He playfully teased, rather in the dark.

I felt something boiling.

I laughed.

"No, no, no, signore, you got it all wrong." I passed by him in order to get a seat, "I did say, Albert could learn from you, but only one or two." I smirks mischievously, "It wouldn't be fun if there were three of us, now would it?" 

'Signore knows what am I talking about..'

He gave me an unreadable smile.

I held back chuckle.

'How...Amusing'

"You mentioned your brother, he must be the blonde chatterbox from the trio." He backfired.

"He is a chatterbox, but he's not my brother." I stated, "My fratello is the brown giant with the hair styled like a mountain."

He began to burst with laughter.

"What's with that?! Hair like a mountain..! His hair just styled upwards.. And you said it all high and mighty--pfft!!" He won't stopped.

A vein popped.

"SHUT UP!" I riled, assuming a tomato face, "DON'T REPEAT IT!! I CAN'T EXPLAIN MY YOUNGER BROTHER'S HAIRSTYLE!!"

"Younger brother...?" He dumbfounded. "That tall dude is your younger brother." He stared at my structures and then pitied me at the end.

"Signore," I smiled, "Don't underestimate my flair just because of my appearance."
