Hired

Chapter 17

Eva

I was just getting settled in the table when I heard the front door open and I knew Carlos's guests had arrived,

"Eat your food princess." Carlos spurted softly and excused himself, I focused on the delicious plate of food in front of me in silence.

Soon after I heard loud footsteps getting closer to the kitchen, "Qualcosa di odore gradevole." A voice said.

[something smells nice]

"Ho pensato che ha sparato... Come si chiama?... Gloria." Another voice added.

[I thought he fired..What's her name?...Gloria]

"Ha chiaramente il suo culo pigro alla cucina." A final voice spoke up, a female voice this time. After she uttered those words, the three laughed and soon approached the door.

[He clearly got his lazy ass to the kitchen]

Just as I thought two men and a lady stood in the doorway and their humor faltered as they noticed me sitting there.

"Holla." The lady was the first to speak with an odd expression on her face, "Chi sei?" She asked, her eyes sparking with curiosity.

[Who are you?]

I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out, "Eva, right?" The one who was fairly tall with broad shoulders and blonde hair asked.

"Eva? Chi è Eva." The dark haired one in the middle uttered confused, I couldn't help but notice they all had Italian accents, but it wasn't has strong and hot as Carlos's.

Did I just say that? I shrugged the thoughts away.

Assuming they are Carlos's friends, I formed a small smile, "Hello, I-I am Eva.." I stuttered a little.

"She's the English girl, Don mentioned." The blonde one uttered making the dark haired's lips to widen in realization, before his lips turned to a smile.

"Well, It's nice to finally meet you." he seemed to be a lot friendlier and younger than the others, I smiled back and he began to speak again making it towards me, followed slowly by the others,

"You still haven't told us what you are doing here?" The girl uttered quite harshly,

What was her problem?

"Well I'm luiz and these two morons are Miles." He uttered and then pointed to the girl,

"And that's Sonia."

I bowed my head to each of them but only Miles managed to nod back, but Sonia just stood there staring at me.

"You know we can introduce ourselves to the lovely lady, right?" Miles said moving forward towards me, as he got closer to me, he took my hand and lifted it up to his lips, "You're gorgeous." He mutters placing a small kiss on my hand.

I shivered at his touch and quickly pulled my hand away. Miles looks down at me for a moment longer, as if trying to study my expressions making me feel suddenly very insecure.

"Get your paws off her." Carlos voice growls from the doorway and honestly I haven't been more excited to see him.

"Always appearing out of the corners." Miles spoke up sarcastically as Carlos made it through the door,

He had his blue and white sweats on and his hair was looked a little damp, meaning he just got of out of the shower.

Carlos chuckled,

"Tutti sembrano essere dimenticando che ha casa questo è?"

[You all seem to be forgetting who's house this is]

"Non fare tutto sentimentale ora, siamo qui solo per il cibo."

I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at the strange words, I know they are speaking Italian, but still. And as if reading my mind,

"Wheres the food, I'm starving," Luiz whined in English.

I chuckled softly, "I'll serve the food now." I uttered and frank throws me a grin.

"You don't have to, they can serve their own plates." Carlos said. I threw him back a smile, "It's fine, I am not doing anything."

"What really do you do around here?" Sonia who had been oddly quiet for a while spoke up, I open my lips to answer but Carlos gestures me not to.

"You, come with me."

He dragged her with him out of the kitchen, I watch after them until they completely disappeared, "Eva?" Luiz called tearing me out of my thoughts.

He raised an eyebrow at me, "The food."

I nodded and began dishing out the food for him, but my mind kept pondering on Carlos, is he married? Is Sonia his wife or girlfriend?

It's funny how up until now. I hadn't pondered about any of this, He could be a criminal or a serial killer for all I know.

EVA!!! I mentally palm slapped myself. How could you have been so stupid?
