Everything Broken Can't Be Fixed

>Chapter 9<

I woke up from bed, my head banging and my mouth like cotton. I turned to my side to see Kali fast asleep with wild hair and dried tears clinging to her cheeks.

The memories from last night was blur and it took too much brain power to recall them.

Letting out a long yawn I finally come up with the efforts to get out of bed.

I envied the large size of Kalis room .. I'm sure my apartment was much smaller.

The thoughts of being rich scattered through my mind as I trotted over to the en-suite bathroom.

I took a look in the mirror and was scared at the reflection staring back at me. My hair was all over the place. My makeup smudged. Dried drool on the side of my lip.

I looked gross.

I washed off my face and let out an aggravated sigh.

I'm such a light weight . I only took a sip of beer last night and I feel like I'm dying.

I turned back over to Kalis sleeping figure and shook her body into awareness.

"Kali! Wake up." I said tiredly and watched as she struggled to open her eyes.

"Kalllllliiiiiiiii" I said playfully and poked her cheek.

She woke up looking at me angrily. I knew she didn't like her beauty sleep being interrupted but I wanted to go home and freshen up.

"I need to go home." I said and she let out a groggy sound from her throat before closing her eyes and going back to sleep.

I tossed my head back in frustration and reluctantly made my way over to castellos room.

I didn't like him that much and he didn't like me that much but I smelled like a walking sewer and I wanted to return to the comforts of the tiny apartment I call my home.

Once I made it to Castellos door I lightly knocked on it and waited for a response. I waited a couple of seconds and then banged on the door ignoring my efforts to be polite.

The door finally flew open and my breath instantly hitched in my throat as I caught sight of castellos wet naked body.

Well ... he wasn't completely naked. He had a towel covering his.. manly bits.

I didn't realize how toned Castello was. He had a set of abs and his muscles bulged perfectly.

It may have looked like he was giving me a lady boner but in all honesty I was appreciating his figure and not craving for it .

"Take a picture..it'll last longer" Castello snapped while giving me a degrading look.

"What is this? The third grade?" I said to Castello with a dumbfounded look.

He gave me a short gaze before attempting to close his room door.

"Wait!" I said sliding my foot in between the door.

"Can you give me a ride back home?" I said with pleading eyes.

"Walk." He said while once again attempting to close his door.

"You can't expect me to walk all the way back home! I live miles away!" I said to Castello and he rolled his eyes.

"Not my problem." He said swiftly before closing his door and retreating back to his room.

I looked down at the hard wooden floor in defeat.

My last resort is Vitaly.

I wander through the long halls of Castello and Kalis mansion in search for Vitaly until I come across a door that was slightly opened. In it to my surprise was Vitaly having what seemed to be a very unpleasant conversation on the phone.

"sì, era qui che avrei dovuto ucciderlo sul colpo!" (Yes, he was here! I should've killed him!)

Vitaly hissed through the phone as he brushed his fingers through his hair in frustration.

"Vitaly.." I said softly not wanting to startle him. He turned to me slightly and his whole demeanor completely changed. His harsh stance and tone quickly softened as he ended his phone call and gave me all of his attention.

"Sorry to disrupt," I say shyly while gazing at him. he was still wearing the same clothes from the night before except this time his shirt was completely unbuttoned exposing his chiseled abs.. even without trying he still manages to look dashing.

"No problem bella. what's wrong?" he said while taking a couple of steps towards me.

"Is it okay if you can drive me home? Kali is sleeping and Castello doesn't want anything to do with me so I thought I'd ask you.." I didn't fear rejection from him because I knew he wouldn't say no. There was an undeniable connection between us. Where it came from, I don't know, but I couldn't deny that it was there.

"Of course la mia luce, just give me a few minutes to shower and change. Then I'll drop you off home, okay?" His voice grew softer the closer he came to me, until we were just a breath apart.

"You know I speak very little Italian, how am I ever going to have a conversation with you if half the words you say are Italian?" I joked, trying to break the heavy tension in the air that only intensified the more his eyes locked into mine.

I gasped as he brought up his hand and caressed my face.

"Don't worry mi amore, you'll be taught soon enough." He said seductively as his dark eyes stayed locked onto mine.

"Um.." I squeak out as his chest press against mine causing a hot blush to flow through my cheeks.

"Shouldn't you be getting dressed?" I asked while attempting to push my self further into the wall which turned out to be useless.

"I've never had a lady ask me to put on clothes before." He laughs while backing away from me and pulling off his shirt.

"Sit." He says and like an obedient puppy I go over to sit in the chair that resides in the corner of the room.
