Welcome to Gang Life

" There's nothing to know about me," I mumble fidgeting with the ring on my pointer finger.

" Of course there is didn't you say that your adopted brothers are in a com..." Liam starts but gets smacked on the head by Mason, the one with the camera.

" Sorry," Liam mutters.

" What's your favorite color?" Leo asks genuinely.

" Black," I respond.

" Pft ew blacks boring you know what's not...Pink," Liam says proudly.

A laugh escapes from my lips. I grimace in disgust.

" I hate the color pink," I state proudly.

" YOU WHAT! That's extremely offensive," Liam says turning his head the other way from me in shame.

I shrug. " It's way too girly for me,"

" I like the color pink," Mason mumbles.

I raise my eyebrow at him and chuckle at his cuteness. He doesn't even realize how adorable he is. His face is always hidden yet you can tell he's always listening in to peoples conversations.

" What's your guy's favorite color?" I ask keeping the conversation going.

" Well mine's obviously pin..."

" We know Liam," we all reply in unison.

A smile erupts from my lips and I soon ease into conversation with them. Here's what I found out.

Derek took after my...his father in taking over the business life insurance company and has been extremely successful. He seems rather distant yet protective of those that are close to him. He always has his guard up no matter what and seems to constantly check his phone.

Liam is a different case though. He owns schools for kids with special needs across the country and manages them going to each individual school often. That's so fucking sweet to me. He has a soft spot for those are less fortunate then him and I find that refreshing. He's the life of the group...the one that always talks and makes everyone laugh.

Mason is the photographer. He owns his own photography company producing millions of photos of different events and creating some of the best photographers in the world with his online learning center. He's rather laid back and tends to keep to himself, but talks a lot with those who are closest to him.

Leo is a computer engineer owning a computer science company dealing with god knows what. He's nice and obviously the smartest. You can tell by the way he talks and his posture just screams 'I'm smarter then you deal with it.'

Elijah and Jake are a different story. I only know their names and they're obviously contributing to the conversation vastly, but I don't know anything about them. It's rather strange actually they act like brothers always making fun of each other whenever they get the chance.

" Okay okay so recap. You all are super rich, have decent personalities I know that look Liam don't let it fuel your ego I said decent...so why aren't you guys dating anyone?" I ask.

" I don't know I just haven't found the one," Liam exclaims dramatically falling back to the couch.

" Um okay. How bout you guys?" I ask again.

" I don't have the time," Derek responds.

" I don't like anyone," Mason mumbles.

" I just have flings," Leo says.

I gawk at them. Wow. Wasn't expecting those answers, but I can work with that.

" How bout you?" Jake asks.

My throat swells up and I think back to my last boyfriend. It wasn't too long ago his name was Cameron and the only reason we broke up was because he got a job in Italy and he knew I wouldn't move with him. We were together for 4 months and he made me feel special. I'm over him now though and have moved on. It wasn't a messy break up it was a mutual agreement.

" I don't have a boyfriend. I did have a boyfriend, but we broke up because he moved to Italy for his job,"

The room immediately becomes tense with Derek's jaw clenching and Mason cracking his knuckles not so subtly.

" Is there a problem with that?" I ask glaring at them.

" He didn't hurt you did he because I swear if he did I will fucking find that piece of sh..." Derek begins.

I cut him off. " God no Cameron was the sweetest guy on the earth and I was happy with him. When he got the job offer he knew I wouldn't be able to go with him because I wanted to finish college and we hadn't even been together with each other for that long so we mutually broke it off,"

They all nod their heads in understanding and the tension easily leaves the room. Derek's phone rings and he picks it up. He starts speaking in Italian and good for me because I know Italian fluently.

He says, " Cosa...sono impegnato adesso...COSA!...toglilo dalla mia casa...cazzate...Miguel... MIGUEL!...dai a Miguel il buco del telefono...che diavolo vuoi Ace?...stiamo arrivando,"
( What...I'm busy right now...WHAT!...take IT out of my house...bullshit...Miguel...MIGUEL!... give Miguel the phone asshole...what the hell do you want Ace?...we are coming)

Derek clutches his fists and stands up.

" We have to leave...NOW!" he bellows and stomps out the door.

" What happened? Is everything okay?" I ask.

Jake runs out the door with Elijah following behind him. Mason eyes go wide and quickly dashes out the door.

" I'm sorry April something's...um come up we'll visit you tomorrow," Liam quickly says and runs out as well Leo following him from behind.

What the hell just happened?

Sorry guys I used google translate again so if anything is wrong then I don't mean to offend anyone.
Byeee.
