Thank you all for almost 100k reads!! 🤭❤️

Today Thursday, I'm in my last period before lunch which is pe.

Why is pe even necessary? I heard a girl say her cousin started high school a few years back and ended high school with a higher weight than before.

Don't gets me wrong it's nothing bad but doesn't it just show that sometimes people need a break from school as a whole?

Just me thinking that? Okay.

"Watch out!"

A ball hit me right in the nose and blood automatically started spewing from it.

Tears threaten to fall from my eyes but with all my strength I held them back.

"Oh my let's get you to the nurse." My pe teacher said.

"No it's fine, I know my way," I said while pinching my nose.

"Okay dear get there quick." She smiled.

I nodded my head and grabbed my backpack while starting to walk toward the office.

My nose is throbbing so bad I haven't had pain like this in a while.

I open the door to the nurse's office and she gasps at my appearance.

"Dodge ball? Those crazy kids never have respect for anybody. You're the 3rd kid that's come in for the same thing." She explains as she shook her head.

I sit on the very comfortable bed that she has in her room.

"Put your head down slightly, we want all of that to come out." She said.

After around ten more minutes the bleeding stopped nurse said nothing was broken and the swelling went down but not completely with some ice but it left slight pain.

I thanked her, put my bag on, and walked to the cafeteria. I got Mac and cheese and went to the garden to hopefully meet River.

Fortunately, he was there.

"Hi, bestie!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me and his eyes darkened.

"What happens to your nose, and what happens to your clothes?" He asked angrily.

I looked at my outfit which consisted of short spandex shorts and a long-sleeved grey top.

"Oh yeah, I got hit in the nose during pe and forgot to change my clothes back."

His eyes roamed my legs greedily he slowly made his way back up to my face and sighed.

Butterflies.

"Sit and eat Taliah." He grumbled.

I sat across from him and happily at my Mac and cheese.

I hummed from the delightful taste.

River angrily sighed "Can you eat quietly?" He asked.

His eyes dropped down to my chest he closed his eyes and his hand made a way through his hair strongly tugging it.

"Uhh no I can't. Food and I have a loving relationship therefore I will let it be known!" I yelled as I stuffed another bite in my mouth.

I looked up at River and saw he was already looking at me.

His hair is so pretty. So thick I bet it smells good too.

"Can I touch your hair?" I asked as I finished my food.

He gave me a single nod and I got up and walked around the table to his side.

He turned his body towards me so now I'm standing between his legs.

I got my hands and slowly embedded them in his hair.

It was so soft. Softer than mine I should ask what he puts in it. It smelt like lemon too. Yum.

I massaged his scalp and he let out a low hum.

His hands cautiously came to the sides of my hips and he dropped his head to my stomach.

My stomach immediately started fluttering. I felt nervous but also excited.

I stopped rubbing his scalp and he looked up at me so now his chin was on my chest.

He gave my forehead a hard kiss and continued to look into my eyes.

I kissed his cheek but my lips lingered there for longer than intended. His head dropped back to lay on my stomach.

I just hope he doesn't feel how hard my heart is beating

The bell rang making me flinch unexpectedly.

His hands dropped from my hips and I walked back around the table to grab my trash and throw it out.

I took one last look at him and smiled.

"Bye River," I whisper loud enough for him to hear.

I can't help but think, is that what friends do?

•••

I got home exhausted.

I took a shower and put on a pair of SpongeBob shorts and a shirt I stole from Matteo.

I took a thirty-minute nap and woke up with the sudden urge to cook.

I hadn't cooked in a few months ago I thought to ask Vincent to help me.

"Oh, Vinny!" I yelled while running to his room.

I opened the door only to see him and June making out.

Omg!

My poor eyes.

I yelped and slammed the door back and ran to my room.

I clenched my eyes shut and tried to think about all the homework I had due tomorrow but nothing could get that image out of my mind.

Shivers.

Two minutes later Vincent ran to my room with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm so sorry! Taliah I didn't know anybody was home yet. I promise if I knew my door would have been locked." He explained.

"Your door should have been locked already! Who makes out with someone with their door locked? Your a doctor Vin I thought you would be smarter than this." I yelled.

"I'm sorry." He pouted.

He walked toward me with his arms wide open for a hug.

"Ahhhh! No, get away from me! Go wash your hands- no go wash your body I don't know what else you've done before I walked in." I grimaced.

Vincent laughed and went to take a shower anyway.

Around an hour later Vincent was showered thank goodness and we were in the kitchen cooking Alfredo.

Vincent had just pan-seared the chicken and was letting it rest before cutting it.

We were now kneeling huge balls of dough to make the pasta.

"So, you and June eh." I teased as I wiggled my eyebrows.

Vincent lightly blushed and nodded.

"Yeah, although it's weird talking about this to you I know I can trust you. I like her Fiore, a lot I see her and I in a few years married with kids." He smiled.

"Whoa, slow your role is not ready to be an aunt yet. But good for you Vinny finally shooting your shot." I punched his arm while leaving flour there.

"Where June?" I asked.

"She was so embarrassed she went home." He said.

"Poor thing tell her to come for dinner sometime. May as well get to know my future sister-in-law better." I winked.

Sooner or later it was dinner time and we were all sitting at the table eating.

Yes, even Roman.

I could tell he was irritated but he didn't say anything until he did.

"Taliah, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked angrily but calmly.

The rest of my brothers looked at me in shock.

"What? No! I don't what makes you think that?" I asked irritably.

"You've been distant." He shrugged.

"Just because I don't talk to you often doesn't mean I'm distant. Also maybe I'm mad because I was forced to workout for no apparent reason. If you were actually concerned about me having a relationship you would ask me about it privately not at the dinner table." I explained.

I stood up from my chair and went to my room.

I'm so tired of him, I wish I had my mom back.

Unfortunately wishes don't come true.
