Dangerous In Black (one)

Twenty One

Greece

She was biting her nails and playing with the pendant as the clock ticked on. It had been two hours since they'd left and nothing was helping her nerves. Arturo was in the kitchen making them some tea but in Allegro's absence she could neither eat not drink but Arturo's thoughtfulness made her smile. He sat beside her on the couch and handed her a mug.
"Drink, it'll ease your nerves." He said taking a sip.
Greece stared at him wide eyed, why wasn't he shitting himself?

"Are you usually this calm?" Greece asked.
Arturo smiled at her, "I've known my brothers long enough to know that they can take care of themselves," he paused "especially Allegro."
Greece nodded her head and unconsciously sipped the tea, "This is really good."
Arturo smirked at her, "I see Allegro gave you a necklace."
Greece's fingers suddenly grasped the pendant and smiled, "Yeah."

"Our mother gave us each identical necklaces a few years ago,"Arturo said smiling at her, "I already knew you were family Sorella, but now everyone else will when they see you wearing that necklace." He paused, "It symbolizes our family, which you are now apart of."
Greece grinned at what he'd said, her heart fluttered at the thought of being part of a family. Her own parents had been so distant with her growing up, leaving her to basically fend herself. Greece had to grow up too quickly and when she turned eighteen she left their house and never looked back and hadn't heard from them since.

When Greece had originally arrived at the compound, she might have been for a time quite envious of the relationship Allegro held with his siblings. She had wanted that growing up, but now with him; Greece suddenly felt like she knew where she was supposed to be, with whom she was supposed to be.
"Thank you Arturo, for treating me like your sister." Greece mumbled softly.
Arturo smiled, "Of course."

At three o'clock in the morning, Greece finally heard the compound gates being opened followed by several cars driving onto the land. Instantly staggering to their feet her footsteps were followed by Arturo who was moving at a much slower pace to get to the door, just as it swung open and Alessando walked in with a rifle still in his hand, "Honey I'm home!" He yelled smiling slightly.
Arturo who was standing beside her rolled his eyes as Alejandro and Allegro stepped through the door together.

Both men seemed to be in deep conversation and Allegro had a faint smile to his lips and Greece looked relieved, phew she couldn't bare to be the cause of their misunderstanding any longer and now it seemed they had finally made up. Greece's eyes traveled along his body scouting for injuries as she spotted blood covering his left sleeve that was rolled up revealing his tattooed arm and another splatter of blood on his collar. Her eyebrows furrowed at his bloody knuckles as she watched patiently as Allegro's eyes suddenly caught hers and he smirked and cocked his finger at her. Greece blushed slightly and skipped over to him leaning forward to press a kiss to his lips.

Immediately after initiating the kiss she stepped back causing Allegro to groan but she paid no mind as she took his bloody knuckles in her hand while her other touched his bloody collar.
"Are you hurt?" She asked softly.
She heard him chuckle as he tried to yank his injured hand out of her grip.
"Mi amore," his voice seemed to wine, "it's just a little blood, I'm fine."
But she held him firmly and she lifted his hand up to the light.

"Greece come and check my injuries!" Alessando suddenly interjected and Greece turned to smile at him.
"No." Allegro said instantly causing Greece to chuckle softly.
He'd obviously punched someone multiple times for it to look like that and well Greece could basically guess who.
"He's at a warehouse." He said seriously.
Greece gently let his hand go and nodded, "Tomorrow, or whenever you're ready we can go to see him."

Greece nodded at that, maybe not tomorrow she thought to herself as she turned her heel and grabbed Allegro hand before yanking him towards their quarter of the house.
