Storm's POV

"What are you doing here?" I heard a obviously confused and shocked Luca say.

"I was-" I started to say but was cut off by Esmeralda.

"Luca, te crié mejor que eso, ¿dónde están tus modales? Cállate antes de que te saco de esta casa." ( I raised you better than that, where are your manners, shut up before I kick you out of this house.)

I took all my self control to not burst out laughing at him, cuz he shut up real quick.

"Storm, how are you? Thanks for coming." She said as she came to trap me in her embrace.

"Good, good how about you."

"Great, dinner is almost ready. Where is your brother?" She asked when she didn't see a certain teenage boy next to me.

"Oh, he has a fever at the moment." I informed her.

"That's too bad, my other children are in the kitchen, I think you'll like them." She said as she guided me to the kitchen.

I heard Luca follow and voices when we entered the kitchen.

"Enzo, Issa, this is Storm, she's my neighbor." Esmeralda introduced me to two people who resembled each other.

Ah, these are the twins, Los Gemelos diabléanos. They don't look like much.

I saw a flash of panic, surprise, and suspicion cross her face all at the same time.

"Oh yes, Issa nice to see you again."

"You know my daughter?" Esmeralda asked.

"She took my boxing class at the gym I work at." I explained to her.

She arched her eyebrow at her daughter, but quickly dismissed any thoughts, cuz at that moment Lica caked her.

Luca's POV

"Mom can I talk to you for a sec?" I said in a tight voice.

"Okay mijo." She said and followed me to the living room.

"Mamma, perché è qui, perché l'hai invitata, sai chi è? " (Mom,why is she here, why did you invite her, do you know who she is?) I started ranting in Italian.

"Non usi quel tono con me. Luca, si è trasferita qualche giorno fa, lei e suo fratello sono soli. "
(Don't you use that tone with me. Luca, she moved in a few days ago, she and her brother are all alone.)

She paused then before I could even get a word in she started again.

"Ma la vera domanda è come la conosci e perché stai cercando di scoprire qualcosa su di lei? " (But the real question is, how do you know her and, why are you trying to find things out about her?)

My mom is too smart, I can never keep anything from her.

"Mamma, lei non è la brava ragazza che pensi."
(Mom, she's not the nice girl you think she is.) I told her.

"Non pensi che non lo sappia già." (You don't think I know that.) She said with irritation in the voice.

Well now I know. I should tell her what I know, or the very little that I know.

"Sto interrompendo qualcosa. " (Am I interrupting something.)

I turned around and saw Storm. SHE SPEAKS ITALIAN. I mentally groaned, what can't this girl do.
