Heart Of Our Home [On Hold]

VI

Alessandro turned the door knob and slowly walked in, with the others trailing behind. There was loud music coming from the kitchen and Mila heard Lorenzo singing. When she walked closer she saw Lorenzo swaying his hips gracefully, while he screeched. Mila stifled a laugh, while the others looked at Lorenzo like it was a daily occurrence.

Mila silently informed her brothers that she was going to change so that she could get ready to surprise Lorenzo. She ran down to her room and quickly got changed. She changed into comfortable lavender overalls, along with a shirt-sleeve white top. This outfit was definitely more appropriate than her previous one. She walked out of the room whilst pretending to be a top secret agent, she hid around every corner and slapped her body against the wall at random times. She made a fake gun with her hands and kept shooting it at random things.

Finally, she made it to the living room where her brothers were, they caught a glimpse of Mila acting and smirked. Mila gave Vincenzo a thumbs up, which Vincenzo returned. Francesco started recording on his phone for 'blackmail'.

Lorenzo was still oblivious to the situation, he didn't hear his siblings arriving because of his loud cheerful music.

Mila saw Lorenzo wearing a pink apron and smiled. He always loved that apron because it said 'your opinion is not on the recipe'. Mila ran behind Lorenzo and covered his eyes with her hands. Lorenzo slightly stumbled due to the shock but quickly regained his balance by steadying himself on the kitchen counter.

"Luca! What the hell are you doing? When did you come home, you're supposed to be at school! I'm giving you ten seconds to let go before I get my vegetables!" Lorenzo yelled as he tried to Mila's fingers off his eyes. Just then Vincenzo played the recording.

"Woah, calm your farm. I'll take my beautiful hands off in a minute." Vincenzo's voice erupted from the phone which Vincenzo was holding, right behind Mila. A cheesy smile broke out onto Mila's face. She looked back and saw Alessandro's lips which curled up slightly. Francesco was smirking and Vincenzo was smiling lightly.

"Vincenzo, you are never like this? Are you okay, why are you being so kind? See, this is why you should drink my vegetable soup, it cures everything. Go back to normal, it's weird." Lorenzo ranted on for a long time, explaining the benefits of his amazing soup. Vincenzo rolled his eyes.

"Beware, I have broccoli in my hand. If it damages your brain, you can't blame me. You have been warned." Lorenzo stated in a grumpy tone. Mila felt his lips turn downwards into a frown. Lorenzo always makes his threats using vegetables. He was just so emotionally attached to them that he had to involve them in almost everything. His insanely healthy diet usually annoyed all of his brothers.

"Are you fûcking kidding me? Vincenzo and brain don't go together in the same sentence, idiot." Francesco laughed, cringing at the thought.

"Language." Alessandro stated loudly, as his authority erupted through the room.

"At least I'm smarter than you asshat. You're the one that took forever to graduate." Vincenzo remarked growling at his little brother. Alessandro watched their little squabble with a blank face.

"Graduate what? Dumb university? Sure. They wouldn't let you graduate, sorry to burst your invisible bubble." Lorenzo mumbled. Just as Vincenzo was about to make a comment, Alessandro shut him down with a look.

Mila finally took off her hands because she saw Lorenzo grabbing his broccoli. He had a really good sense of coordination even if his eyes were closed. Lorenzo held up the broccoli and slowly turned around ready to hit the person, hoping to knock some sense into them. When he turned around he gasped, he abruptly dropped the broccoli and threw his strong arms around her small frame.
