i woke up feeling a heavy wait on my breast , i look down and it was mattia. i tried to get up but his hands were interlocked around my waist.

" your soft and warm and i dont want you to move," mattia says into my chest.

" well good morning to you too," i scratch his head. " i love that the first thing i heard was your voice today."

" from last night i knew you would," he removes himself from my chest. " feel for another round?"

" mmmm your funny, maybe later." i tell him.

i get up from the bed and walk over to my wardrobe and got dress. i walked back out and saw mattia making the bed.

" you didnt have to," i say .

" well i did , what are you gonna do today?" he asked me . i really dont know myself , i wanna go back to work but i highly doubt that mattia will let me.

" i honestly dont know," i tell him and start to help him. " you know what would be really fun?"

" what?"

" going back to work," i rush out. " this is the only time im begging."

" i mean you were begging last night," he laughs and i glare at him. " okay fine , but you have to come back here after."

" deal," i say happily and jump on the bed to give him a hug.

" hey hey we just made the bed," he screams playfully. " your making it by yourself again."

" thank you , thank you , thank you," i kiss him. " im going back to work , im going back to work."

" ive never seen anybody other than me so dedicated to there job," he put his hand on his hip. "its weird."

" i actually love my job , just dont like the people that work there." i roll my eyes.

" guess we are going back to work together," mattia says walking out the door.

i walked downstairs into the kitchen to see alejandro making breakfast.

" goodmorning," alejandro said . " i made breakfast."

" i can see that and goodmorning to you too,"  i say. " where is kairi?"

" i think he is still sleeping," he tells me. " but how is she?"

" well she is better than i expected," i smile.

i walk to the fridge and grab a water bottle.

" good morning" kairi yawned walking down the stairs.

" morning , ale made breakfast."

" that sounds nasty already," kairi fake gags.

" hey my cooking isnt even that bad," ale slaps me with the rag. " unlike kairi , i can fry eggs."

" your eggs are always watery," i make an unpleasant face. " and dont get me started on those waffles."

" alright thats enough," avery says walking down the stairs. "No los escuches estoy bastante seguro de que tus huevos son increíbles."

" avery no le mientas," i tell her.

" you know what sit yall asses down," she orders us.

we all rush to the stools around the marble decorated countertops. "voy a hacer el desayuno y después de que no quiero hablar de nada."

" woahh i didnt know you speak spanish," ale said surprised.

" well when you grow up from house to house," she sighed. "you learn alot of things."

" it's kinda hot," i shrug and she mixes the waffle mix. " i also didnt know you could cook."

" well there is alot of things you dont know about me," she looks up. " thats just for you to figure out."

" anyways , mattia brian told me we have deliveries to do tonight," kair informs me. " and also your dad is coming from italy ."

the room went silent and everyone just stared at me. honestly i wasnt ready for this to happen. as much as im glad for the visit , id rather him not.

" this week is gonna be , eventful." ale says turning away.

avery slides our plates to us and gives me a stare indicating to follow her.

" am i gonna have to meet your dad?" she asked me.

i know she is gonna be nervous.

" as much as i would have loved for him to meet you in a different way," i whisper. " yeah , your gonna have too."

" well , what if he tries to kill me or something?" she ask .

" i will assure you , he wont," i answer. " atleast not on my watch."

" mattia , why cant i just go back home and come back when he leaves?" she looks at me.

" no you cant leave me , avery," i grab her hand gently. " for some reason i do so much better when your around."

" mattia , im  not gonna lie to you. i like you okay , i know i shouldnt but my heart wants what it wants," she admits. " i dont know what this thing is between us but i need you to figure it out."

i let out a sigh , " avery , you know what this is between us."

she shakes her hand and begins to walk away. i like her too but i cant find the words to express it to her. i dont handle feelings really well and everyone knows that. my dad is coming tomorrow and if he finds out i have anything for this girl he will kill her.

i run upstairs and grab my purse for work. i wonder how camila is gonna feel about me telling her we work for a murderer. i dont want to tell her that though because i like him and i know she will call the police.

" im leaving now," i yell walking out the front door. then i remember i dont have anyway to go to work.

" you forgetting something," mattia says behind me. " lets go ill drive you."

i roll my eyes and walk into his car. i got into the front seat and put my seatbelt on.

" i have something for you," mattia says. " close your eyes."

i close my eyes and feel mattia reach in the back of the car for something. " alright open up."

i opened my eyes and see i new phone sitting on my lap. my eyes lit up becasue i have been so out of it without my phone. " thank you mattia."

" your welcome," he smiles. " i know this might be weird buttt , i put all of your important contacts in your phone for you. mines , kairi , ale , dave , camila , and micheal."

i look up at him confused , " how do you know micheal?"

" that's a secret," he tells me.

i lean back in my chair and opened my phone . my lock screen was me , camila , and micheal . i went to the gallery and found old photos of me and camila and some friends from along time ago. i smiled at all of them because i missed them so much.

a few minutes later we pulled up to the parking garage at our job. i was nervous as fuck because it will be my first time here for a while and im coming back with our boss.

we walked into the buliding and i clocked in , we went into the elevator onto my floor. i shook off all of my nervousness and put on my regular attitude.

the elevator dinged and the door opened , as we walked out all eyes drawed to us. we walked out and mattia looked at me and smiled .

" have fun," he whispered and walked away. i walked passed everyone who was whispering and talking shit but i didnt care. i walked to my office and unlocked the door. i know i probrably had alot of work to do so i just got started.

" averyyy omg where have you been?" camila burst through the door. i smile grows on my face because i havent seen her in forever.

" i took some time off," i lied. " how have you been?"

" here and there , but i missed your stupid ass." she says pulling me in for a hug. " i heard you came in with our boss."

she smirks, " whats up with that?"

" you starting already," i narrow my eyes . " i just got back."

" you know i have been yall biggest shipper," she smiles .

" bye im not gonna play with you," i laugh . " so how has everything been since i left?"

" boring as usual," she says.

her eyes widen , " did i tell you?"

" tell me what?"

" ms.isabelle is pregnant," she tells me.

" your joking right?" i ask her.

" hell naw , that girl came in here last week with her bump out and all." she chuckles.

" who the hell would want to get her thirsty ass pregnant?" i roll my eyes.

" tell me about it," camila says. " that girl is so easy."

" exactly giving me very much easy bake oven," i say. " could never be me."

camila laughs , " other day i had a meeting with that hot guy from the tech company. she ' messed up something on the computer'. she came in my office and was like ' we have a problem',"

" bitch lemme guess , you caused?" she leanes her neck to the side. " that girl just wants everybody."

" man man man , i missed alot huh?" i asked . " you know what dont tell me , because i know i did."

" im just glad to have you back," camila smiles. " is your phone broken or something?"

" oh i got a new one , i have your number already ," i inform her . " yes i will make sure to call you."

" good , now i gotta go. my client is here," she gets up . " bye i love you."

" i love you too."
