Valentina's POV
As he walked to hug the older couple, he took my arm and dragged me with him. He stopped dragging me to hug them. Then took my arm again and pulled me in front of them. They were kind of intimidating. "Hi, m-my name is Valentina. Nice t-to meet you." I muttered out. I was kind of scared.
"Hello Valentina," The woman spoke up. "My name is Anna. This is my husband, Stefano." She seemed very loving. "What brings you here?" The man spoke up. "Well I was dating a man, and he tried to do bad things to me, then Luca saved me, and then he and Stella took me in keeping me safe. And here I am." I said sweetly. I realized that sounded pretty bad. But like it was the story so.
They both looked at Luca with a sparkle in their eyes. They looked back at me, "What's your last name?" "Moretti" I muttered quietly because I know what Lorenzo did to this family. And to mine. They both looked shocked. Once again looking at Luca and Stella.
"Stefano, we don't know if they're related. Moretti is pretty popular in Italy." They both let out a sigh of breath. "Actually.." My heart was beating very loudly. I haven't even told Stel or Luca this yet. "Lorenzo Moretti... i-is m-my older b-brother." I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for everyone to snap. I fell to the floor on my knees. They were probably going to kill me. Might as well let them.
"Val, get up." I heard Luca say in a stern voice. I carefully got up and looked at him. He looked furious. I don't blame him. "Before you guys kill me or anything, I just want to say I absolutely loathe him. I haven't been in contact with him since the fourth grade. He murdered my parents and little sister, and some other things that I'm not exactly ready to share yet."
The anger was gone, I could see he felt bad for me. But the anger was back. I'm guessing towards Lorenzo now, not me. At least I hoped. "That bastard killed his own family." I heard him grunt. I slowly turned around and saw Anna slightly tearing up, and Stefano looked at me blankly. "Please don't feel bad. I don't want that. I just want you to know before you kill me, I hate him more than anything. That's why, the night you found me at that bus stop crying," I gestured to Luca, "when I said I wished he was dead, that's why. He killed his own blood. And did bad, bad things to me, I don't even consider him a brother anymore. He doesn't deserve the title."
"Well, for one, we weren't going to kill you, probably torture you, but now I know, and I'm going to do neither of those things." He said with a genuine smile. Stella looked at me smiling too. So did Anna. Once again, Stefano just looked at me blankly. He probably wasn't good with new people. Or the fact I was the sister of a horrible horrible man.
"Well you're going to be staying here for a while, might as well show you around," Anna said in the sweetest voice, speaking to me. "Alright, sounds good. Night Stel, and Luca, night sir." I replied, with a smile, and then nodding at Stefano. I walked with Anna.
"So, are you and Luca a thing or..?" she asks curiously, I smile.
"Oh we're just friends I presume."
"You must be special. Luca doesn't have people come here. Hell, he doesn't even let them stay at his house. You must be special somehow." She says with a big smile. "Oh." I laughed nervously. "Maybe."
"Well, anyway, your room is here, it's got the essentials, I'll go get you the clothes I used to wear. Can't really pull them off any more you know." She shakes her head with a smile. I loved how much she smiled. She laughs as she pulls on her slightly wrinkled skin. I send her a smile saying thank you, she leaves, then I start to search around the room. Just taking in my surroundings.
"This room is nothing compared to your last one, but it's better than an apartment." I spun around so quickly I almost fell. "Jesus. Luca, you scared the shit out of me. Why you always do me so dirty?" I ask jokingly. He just laughs. "I'm surprised, no, 'I mean I can do you dirty' or 'if you say so' nothing. What's got into you?" I ask laughing. He laughs with me.
