*Alexa's POV*

"Right, rule number one," Elonzo continued,"You will obey all rules. I will expect you to not lie to us, if ever going out in our neighborhood -no where further- tell us.

You will always do as you're told, speak if asked to. Look at us in the eye while speaking. We expect a verbal response. Don't talk back to us.

About your clothing, if a dress, no shorter than your thigh, crop-tops are not allowed. three-quarter bottoms or tops the least."

He paused to see my reaction, but I just shrugged. Who in the right mind would wear short clothes when they had hair growing like a gorilla? Even for the fact that I was too scared for waxing.

If you're in the neighborhood hood, no talking to guys or even thinking about developing feelings. If you do, then no boyfriends."

I blinked once. Who did he think I was? Just because I had come to visit America doesn't mean mum and dad would let me date and have crushes anyways. In addition to that, I was only thirteen, in our culture, we don't date at all.

"So," I started off, smirking in my mind, "You said no boyfriends, right."

Elonzo slowly nodded his head, probably wondering if he had said anything wrong.

"No BOYfriends?" I asked once again.

"Exactly." He replied coldly.

I smiled, "Okay, cool."

Then I carried on eating. My stepbrothers looked at me, then each other, really confused, but I gave them no notice.

Once eating my pasta, I went to my room to read Wattpad.

I did my fingerprint, searched up Wattpad in the app search (because I had hidden the app), and hen once opening it, I canceled the search.

All this was because I wasn't allowed to have an online best friend, so I did everything in power to stop people from finding Wattpad, but of course, those attempts were poor.

The moment Wattpad opened, I got a notification saying that it wasn't going to work till the day after tomorrow.

This made me sad, what in the world was I even going to do?

Shrugging, Just made my way down to the living room, not having anything else to do.

Blake was there, just like this afternoon, sprwaled on the couch and flicking the remote.

I took a deep breath,"Hey Blake!"

I went and stood in front of the tv.

"Move aside," He grumbled.

I shrugged and then fell onto his laps, making myself comfortable.

After all, he was my stepbrother.

Blake attempted to push me away, but I just wrapped myself around him. I was going to start acting like a proper sibling.

"You annoying Koala," He said finally.

I smirked looking up to him, "Yup, that's what I signed up for."

He rolled his eyes and took his phone from the side of the couch.

I was curious so I took a quick peek. I saw him tapping an orange symbol, but that was all.

Blake sighed and switched off his phone, putting it away.

"Hello."

I looked from where the voice came from.

"Hey!" I exclaimed jumping off Blake's lap and into Willl's arms, "It's my teddy bear!"

Will chuckled and carried me to sit next to Blake with me still in his arms.

"What does my sorellina want to watch?" Will asked snatching the remote from Blake.

"Hey! I was-"

Will gave him a sharp glare.

I giggled a bit before responding,"Well, my -um- forello? Oh wait no, fratello, I would love to watch Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince."

While reading mafia stories, I had learned a bit of Italian.

Blake groaned, "I swear, you're obsessed with Harry Potte-"

He got whacked on the head by Will.

The movie was awesome, but whenever Ron and Lavender, Ginny and Harry kissed, Will and Blake made sure I was looking anywhere but the tv screen.

Slowly, my eyes started to close, which was pretty unusual. I just guessed it was because how comfy Will was.

I heard a,"Buona notte sorellina," before falling asleep.
