Giovanni watched as Teresa gathered her things from the room they shared.

"Where are you gonna go?" Giovanni asked. Teresa shook her head wiping a tear away. It's been a while since she cried and she hated it.

"Go check into a hotel or something...I don't know." Giovanni nodded. "How you feeling?" Giovanni asked.

Teresa turnt around.  "How do you think I feel? How do you feel about this?" She asked.

Giovanni shrugged.  "Disgusted." Teresa nodded. "Same." Giovanni sighed leaning against the wall.

"This can't be real though? Can it? It doesn't make any since."

"Nothing makes since in our world." "Yea but...wouldn't your Dad tell you? Or maybe your Mom-"

"That's not my mother." Giovanni scoffed.  "Right, cause your Mom is mine." Teresa rolled her eyes sitting on the edge of the bed.

"This whole time..I've been sleeping with my brother." She said to herself.

Giovanni looked down at his feet. "I'm sorry." "Me too, I'm gonna call Juliana and ask her what's going on." Giovanni nodded.

"I'll go with you." Teresa nodded.  "Okay, whatever you want." Teresa grabbed her keys.

"We're taking my car."

They walked out the room and ran into Alessandro.  He smirked and folded his arms. "Hey sis." Teresa rolled her eyes.

"Don't start." Giovanni said. Alessandro shrugged.  "I would still smash." He smiled. Teresa shook her head. 

"Perve." She mumbled. Giovanni shook his head and followed Teresa downstairs.

"How you know she's still here?" Giovanni asked. Teresa shrugged. "She said she's staying in Chicago for a couple months."

Teresa knocked on Juliana's room door and sighed. She heard some movement inside then some whispering.

Giovanni and Teresa looked at eachother then back at the door when it opened.

"Teresa! Hey baby." Teresa raised a brow. "You have company?" She asked. Juliana nodded then the door opened.

She wrapped her arms around her silk robe while a black man stepped out the room kissing Juliana on the cheek.

"I'll call you." He said. Juliana gave him a fake smile. 

When he walked down the hall she rolled her eyes. "Anyway, hey come in." Juliana said stepping aside.

Juliana looked up at Giovanni and smiled. "Who's this baby?" She asked. "My boy- this is Giovanni." She said correcting herself.

Giovanni gave her a headnod. "Right I saw you at Eric's funeral. Have a seat..I'll make you two some coffee."

Juliana said locking the door. "Actually we came here to talk." Teresa said.
