"Yeah, so by when will the shipment arrive?" I asked closing the door to the basement, looking around I debated whether to go change or stick with what I have.
"Next month this time." Nodding my head even though he can't see me I replied with an okay before hanging up. Heading to the games room I rolled my eyes watching as Secarton and Dejamar argued over who won the game fairly.
"Will you both ever grow up?" I asked having heard enough of their banter.
"Nope, you're lucky you don't have to live with them." Carton replied from behind holding a sandwich.
"What?" He asked shrugging his shoulders, "I was hungry." Rolling my eyes at him I motioned for them to follow me. Heading to the kitchen I stopped to grab a random sweatpants, wouldn't want Arch turning my white floors red anytime soon.
"So how's your mum?" I asked sitting on the island top. Watching as they smiled I smiled knowing they would do anything for her.
"She's been great lately, heard she went out on a few dates." Carton answered with a small smile. We're all happy she moved on after their dad's death. He served me well.
"And Teddy?" Watching as Secarton laughed shaking his head I smiled raising an eyebrow at them.
"Teddy's Teddy. Heard he got himself a girlfriend." Dejamar answered rolling his eyes while Carton just smirked. Shaking my head I laughed watching Carton sport a proud look on his face, of course he'd influence his little brother.
"So what's been happening lately?"
"Nothing exciting, except for Sec's constantly annoying friend hanging out around us more often than usual." Furrowing my brows I looked at them waiting for one of them to mention who this person was.
"She's not annoying."
"Aye! Watch it."
Both Dejamar and Secarton said at the same time. Watching Carton shake his head before turning on heels to the pantry I looked over at the other two.
"Well?"
"Well what?" Secarton asked staring at me, knowing exactly what I meant.
"Who is she?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"She's my bestfriend, friend with benefit and Dej's crush/potential girlfriend." Sec answered shrugging his shoulders.
"The fuck?"
"That's what I said. I mean who dates their own best friend and then moves on to the brother?" Carton commented sitting beside me.
"It's not like that." Secarton sighed out running a hand through his hair.
"Well explain." I said taking some of the chips from Carton who only glared at me in return.
"We have an agreement, you see; we both are best friends even before the whole friend with benefit thing. We never dated and never will, we just makeout here and there and if either of us does find someone the other is expected to respect that person's decision."
"So wait," I stopped him as he opened his mouth to speak again. "Do you guys like each other? As in romantic wise."
"N-" He began to answer but Carton cuts him off.
"How do you know she doesn't?"
"Because we talked about it, dude it's basically like us just having one night stands without the sex and complications." Secarton explained.
"So y'all are just like, what? Make out best friends?" That even a word?
"Yeah something like that." Carton scoffed in response rolling his eyes.
"So how does Dejamar land in all this?" I asked trying to get the story straight.
"Dej likes her and well, she decided that she's gonna give him a chance; but really ion trust this because Juilie has a way of losing interest in guys rather quickly." Furrowing my brows I glanced at a silent Dejamar who was just soaking in everything. Nodding my head I sent them a smile.
"Well," I said clapping my hands as I hopped off the island, "time to get to work."
"Did you guys sort out everything?" I asked heading towards the door.
"Yup, everything's connected, audio and visual. The house is up, cars are fixed and the team is working on gathering the rest of information you asked for." Carton answered jumping off the island and disposing of the chips bag.
"Good. Oh and did you guys get the things I asked you for?" Smiling as all three nodded in confirmation I walked back towards them pulling them all in a hug.
"Thanks guys."
"They're in the second lounge when you're ready." Nodding my head in response at Dej, I smiled hearing the front door close.
"MAMII!!!!!" Laughing I shook my head at Destiny.
"Kitchen bambina!" Pulling away from the guys I laughed watching Des run up to the three.
"Car! Sec! Dej!" She exclaimed, her smile twinkling in her eyes.
"You're back!" Giggling as they all hugged her I frowned feeling little hands cup my leg. Looking down I smiled at Val picking her up in my arms.
"No need to be scared bambina." I smiled kissing both her cheeks my heart swelling with love as she smiled at me.
"Umm...." Looking up I chuckled at the confused expressions on their faces.
"Did you pop out a baby over time or you couldn't get enough of this goodness so you replicated her?" Dej asked kissing Des on the cheek. Laughing at him I shook my head.
"No dumbhead, this is my daughter Valentine, she's Destiny's twin."
"Bu-bu-"
"Yeah, long sto-"
"Che il fottere sono queste idioti neonata?" "Who the fuck are these idiots babygirl?" Arch asked as he stepped inside the kitchen wrapping his arm around my waist. Rolling my eyes at him I smiled at the guys.
"Oh and yeah, one less loose info. This is Za-"
"Zackery Niccolo Justin Antonio Gabiano." Secarton stated cutting me off and finishing my statement well he added cause I was just gonna say Zack.
"Ho-?" Carton ask furrowing his brows at his brother. Arch stood behind me, his face blank as ever but I could see he was curious. The way his right brow rose a little higher than usual, not that anyone would notice.
"You remember that friend I was telling you about?" He asked me, which I nodded in response. Releasing a sigh he shook his head running a hand through his hair.
"Her parents work for the IFBI." Feeling Zack's grip tighten around my waist I smiled up at him.
"No la preoccupazione amore. Essi sono bene. Essi con me." "No worry love. They are fine. They with me." I said to him.
"Look you guys can't tell her anything relating to me or him okay. That means about where you go and what you do." I said sternly.
"We aren't that dumb you know." Carton replied rolling his eyes. "Who's the beauty in your arms boss lady?"
"That's my daughter back off fica." Arch snarled glaring at him. 'Some things just never change.'
