Hide Me - Dolan Twins

Twenty Eight - Connect the Dots

Recap:

Ethan I'm not Aliana!", I cry out in a desperate attempt to get him to stop. It was as if a flip inside him switched as he let go of me. He looked around as he backed away and walked out of the kitchen. I stood there frozen in place. I couldn't move. What the hell.

Giuliana's POV

    This was getting out of control. Ever since I had gotten taken everything has been insane. Nothing had gone right. So I would do this final thing. I'd set up Grayson or whatever Alejandro wanted and I'd leave all this behind me. Go back home. With my family. I had my entire life pulled out from beneath me and I was going to get it back. I just wanted everything to go back to normal.

It was the next morning and I had one day until I needed to phone Alejandro. As I sat on the edge of the bed I played around with the paper in my hand. The paper he gave me yesterday that had his number on it. I wasn't even sure that i'd be able to find Grayson in the amount of time I had. Even if I did help Alejandro successfully then what? I go home and forget all this happened. Was I even capable of ultimately betraying Grayson? My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the front door opening and closing very loudly. It had to be Grayson, he was the only one to ever enter the house like that. Well here goes nothing. I slowly crept out of my room and turned the corner to the living room to see if Grayson was there. Nope. I then checked the kitchen and he wasn't there either. Okay he couldn't have gone far he literally entered the house 30 seconds ago. I glanced over into the backyard yard and there he was, sat at the patio table drinking what appeared to be coffee which was strange because i'd never seen Grayson drink coffee. I walked over to the sliding glass door and began to open it. The noise from it caught Grayson's attention and he looked up at me. I walked out and closed the door behind me.

"Hey", he croaked out, his voice deep and tired from most likely not talking in a while. Upon closer inspection of him he truly looked a mess. The morning sun light up the side of his face and the 5' O clock shadow coming in. There were also dark circles under his eyes causing him too look extremely tired. His hair was messy partly because of the slight breeze that morning and because he most likely hadn't styled it.  His clothes looked a lot more put together which was hard to believe considering he just wore a plain white t-shirt, dark jeans, and a pair of black leather boots. He then cleared his throat.
"Sorry about Kimberly. Sometimes she just forgets her place. A lot of people do. But i'm the fucking boss and they need to remember that shit," he aggressively spat out. He looked up at me and I could see the coldness in his eyes. He seemed to be in a bad mood and I didn't want to make it worse.

" No it's fine. I've dealt with people worse than her she's nothing", I reply as i folded my arms across my chest.

"Why don't you take a seat", he offered, gesturing towards the seat across from him. I did as he said and sat down across from him.

"You know I care about you right?", he let out softly as he ran his finger along the lid of his cup. I watched his movements attentively, almost not hearing what he said. I wasn't surprised he had said that but I wasn't sure what he wanted me to say. I had gotten over being upset at him after our "date" but that still didn't change the fact that he was a cold hearted dick head with heavy pockets. After staring at his hands I noticed his knuckles were bruised and had slight blood stains on them. What the hell...

"I understand that you're mad at me but-"

"What happened to your hands?" I asked cutting him off. He looked up at me and took a sip of his coffee.

" Work", he replied as he set his cup back down. I wasn't even going to bother asking what happened because frankly I don't think I wanted to know the answer.

"Are you okay?", I ask instead. Not the best response but I couldn't think of anything else.

" Guilliana i've had the shit beat out of me and left bleeding for fucking dead I think i'll be fine with a a little bit of blood on my hands", he chuckled. His tone was narcissistic and I was beginning to think he was always like that. It was honestly annoying.

" Okay", I responded. There was really nothing else for me to say to him. There was also no way he would let me go see my "brother" so i'd have to come up with a plan for that. Maybe i'd just sneak out and meet him anyways. It's not like anyone would notice I was gone neither of them were home that often anyways.

" Are you okay? You look like somethings bothering you", he said interrupting my train of thought. If only I could tell him. I definitely did not want to risk telling him. I was positive they'd know if I told Grayson and I didn't want to put myself in any more danger than i'm already in.

"No, yeah i'm fine just a little tired is all", I answer in an attempt to reassure him.

" You can talk to me about anything Gulliana", he said as he reached out and grabbed my hand. His hand was large, warm and comforting. Our eyes met and locked for two second before I looked away and took my hand back.

" I think i'm just gonna go take a nap", I replied as I got up from the table and made my way over to the glass door. I wasn't sure how believable that was considering it was only noon.

" Okay. Remember if you need anything just let me know". I nodded my head and went back inside. I made my way back to my room and layed down on the bed. All this stress really was making me tired. I was going to call Alejandro tomorrow and tell him that I told Grayson about him which ultimately was a lie but honestly what's the worst that could happen.

Grayson's POV

Guiliana was acting strange. Something wasn't right. One thing that made me as successful as I am today is my keen sense of awareness and when my gut tells me somethings off I listen to that shit. It never steers me wrong. But all I wanted to do right now was sleep. I was up all night with Vincent taking care of a snitch in the mob. Son of a bitch almost cost us a 5 million dollar job. He was a pathetic loser anyways no one would miss him. We took him in because he had no family. Now he's rotting in hell. Karma. I called up my buddy Al to let him know what I was thinking. He picked up almost immediately.

" Ay boss how's it going? I heard you took care of Lucas last night. It's crazy I would've never that kid was a rat.", he started on.

"Well he was. But that was yesterday's news. Listens Al things in the streets have been a little too quiet. You and I both know when it's quite that means someone is plotting. Keep an alert eye. Shits too calm around here. We always gotta stay prepared. Make sure you let everyone know what's up.", I tell him as I get up from my seat and make my way inside. I make my way to my room and locked the door behind me.

"Is everything okay boss did you hear something?" he asked frantically.

" No but I got a gut feeling about this", I reply getting impatient. I hated talking on the phone.

"Boss are you sure-"

"AL WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY! God damn it follow my fucking orders and stop asking so many fucking questions or else i'll cut off your fingers and feed it to your fucking wife!" I shout into the phone then hung up and tossed it onto my bed. My patience this morning was running thin and my biggest pet peeve was when people didn't follow my orders. The nerve of him to question what I told him. If it weren't for the fact that he was my cousin i'd get rid of that son of a bitch. I was so tense right now all I wanted to do was smoke a cigar and fuck someone. I hadn't had sex in so long But not just anyone. The thought of fucking some random or even Kimberley was unappealing. I wanted to fuck Guiliana. I was infatuated with that girl. I had never felt such intense feelings for everyone and it scared me. She'd be mine one day. I always get what I want. No one can resist me. But for now some aloe vera lotion and my invasive thoughts of Guiliana will have to do.
