I was so close, so close to coming when a knock on the door interrupted u...

"Layla, please calm down" Emma suggested with concern.
"Calm down!?" I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air dramatically.
I know that I was probably overreacting, but they had no right. How could they do that to me? I glared at Enzo and Stefano as they raised their hands in surrender.
Oh yeah, Stefano and I were now on good terms, not that he had a choice in the matter anyway. He was Emilio's bitch so anything Emilio told him to do, he had to do it whether he liked it or not. I know that he had somewhat warmed up to me even though he still wears that annoying scowl every time he saw me.
I was mad. I was angry. I was furious with both of them and they were here acting as though they were angels. They were the devil himself. I swear that I can't live in this house anymore, surrounded by idiots.
"How could you?" I glared at them both as they backed away from me.
"I'm going to kill you guys" I said as I reached for the first thing I could get my hands on and chucked it in their direction, which so happened to be a spoon.
Ugh.
"How could you eat the last ice-cream in the fridge that clearly stated that it belonged to me" I snapped.
I know you guys probably think that I was overreacting, but I had just woken up craving ice-cream only to come downstairs to see that my ice-cream was missing. Those two idiots ate it after I specifically stated that it was mine.
"Your name wasn't on it" Enzo said crossing his hand over his chest with a proud smile.
"Oh really?" I challenged.
I walked over to the trash can and took out the empty ice-cream container and grabbed a marker from a nearby drawer.
"What are you doing?" Stefano asked confused.
I wrote my name in big bold letters on the empty ice-cream container and smirked in victory.
"You were saying?" I smirked as their eyes widen.
They should know by now that they can't win against me so they should just give up right now. I opened my mouth to call Emilio, when Enzo hastily put a hand over my mouth.
"We'll buy you all the ice-cream you want, if you keep quiet" he bargained.
You see the thing was that ever since I was pregnant, I always got my way. Emilio couldn't stand seeing me in tears, because he had no idea how to comfort me. I knew he was in an important meeting now and would rather not be disturbed.
I nodded my head eagerly and he removed his hand from my mouth. I wasn't going to let these two bribe me so I did what I knew they didn't want me to do. Emma had left the room a while ago not wanting to deal with my drama as usual.
