EPISODE TWENTY FIVE
STEFANO.
“Yeah. They are around already. With their chaotic characters.”I report to Luca rubbing my forehead.
“They are surely happy to see you and Mom after years.”
“Whatever. Amanda was giving me cold shoulders for not sending Hazel’s pictures to her for months.”I huff dropping the box on the bed.
“About her. I have something to talk about.”Luca said uneasily, I furrowed my brows.
“Amanda?”
“Hazel.”
“What’s that?”I ask curiously. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I keep getting interested in anything that involves her.
“I tried kissing her.”He confessed.
There was moments of silence between us, I don’t want to overreact even though, I’m fucking jealous and mad.
I took a deep breath letting him explain himself.”She rejected me and apologized immediately. She said she liked you and couldn’t bear cheating on you.”
“Oh.”I mouthed, hiding the relief in my voice.
“You’re not angry?”He asked, surprised.
I smile lightly while playing with the zip of the box.”I’m not.”
“Stefano, why can’t you apologize to her for what you did? This isn’t right.”
“I did nothing wrong. She never complained to me. Why should I apologize when she’s not angry at me?”I shrug.
“Wh…”
“I will call you back.”I say immediately I saw Mom enter the room.
I dropped the phone on the bed and turned to her.
“What are you doing here?”
“Why did you do that to her? Her body is ruined. Stefano.”She sob clutching her clothes tightly.
My lips twitched in surprise. Did Hazel told mom about it? That pathetic Chic.
“What are you talking about?”
“You know what I’m talking about, you jerk!”She cursed angrily.
“Yes. I do. But why did she tell you? She didn’t have a problem with it,”How’s that your business? Mom.”
“She didn’t tell me. She only asked for an ointment to rub on her body. I saw her naked in the room. Stefano, She’s damaged.”She sobbed.
“Mom. Let her say it herself. I hate people who don’t stand up for themselves. She orchestrated this. She told me she wanted us to have sex without telling me she’s a virgin, And I did. If she thinks I sexually abused her, Let her tell me so that I can apologize.”
“You know she can never do that.”
“She should stop being pathetic, Mom. I’m tired of feeling guilty for things I’m supposed to apologize for. She acts fine like she’s not mad at me for doing those things to her! Don’t you understand at all? If she wants this marriage to work, She should start learning how to object to things she doesn’t like.”I scoff pushing the box to the deeper side of the bed angrily.
“Is this what you’re standing on? That’s why you’re not going to sort things between yourself?”She asked in a lower tone.
“Yes.”
“I shouldn’t have forced you into this marriage. Hazel should have met a better person.”
“Now you know.”
HAZEL.
Stefano’s Mom didn’t come back for the rest of the night. I feel so guilty for causing a rift between her and her son, I shouldn’t have come into the picture at all.
After rubbing the ointment on my body, I wore a very flexible short which could only cover half of my butts and an armless breast tube for easy penetration of air. I went to sleep after.
NEXT MORNING.
I woke up due to the annoying voices chattering in the room.
I slowly pulled down the duvet covering my face and sat up sleepily.
Gosh, I slept too much. My head is so foggy and I still feel drowsy.
I slowly opened my eyes just to meet two naked bodies dancing to the pop music from the speaker.
Who are they?
There were dollar notes littered on the floor, They stepped on it as they twerk, hyping each other.
Are they Stefano’s siblings?
They both have an hourglass figure, I could barely see any blemish on their skin, They have long hairs too.
Christ. The duo are beautiful.
Suddenly, The brown haired one turned to me sharply. She covered her mouth before pulling the towel to her body.
“Oh my. You’re awake.”She chuckled walking closer to me.
“Good morning ma’am.”I greeted calmly and stepped down the bed.
The one who looked older joined her and stared at me in an awkward manner.
“Are you Armenian?”
“No. I’m not.”I shook my head.
“She’s so beautiful.”The younger one gasps.
“I’m Amanda. Stefano’s Elder sister. And here’s Megan. The youngest.”Her face dissolved in a smile.
I smiled back at her nervously.”My name is Hazel. Nice meeting you ma’am.”
“Amanda.”She corrected with a wink.
“Sorry for being goofy around you. We are just in a good mood.”Megan apologized grinning from ear to ear.
“No, It’s fine. I’m fine with it.”
“I hope we get along.”Megan says for the last time before grabbing the hair straightener on the table.
“What’s the agenda for today?”Amanda asks, cleaning the sweats on her face.
I noticed a faint mark that looked like an incision down her belly, it seemed like she got an operation.
They don’t look dangerous like Stefano, They were softer, cheerful and jovial too.
Why is Stefano different from them? Or maybe he’s only different from me.
“Camping. Your favorite beach of course.”Amanda squeals. Megan huffs as if she’s not pleased with the location they chose.
“Oh My God! I can’t believe that fucker is a darling.”She chuckle wiggling her soft ass mockingly to Megan.
“Of course. Enjoy it.”She stuck her tongue out.
It’s almost ten. There were no maids or anyone around, Megan went to the living room and came back a few minutes later to announce breakfast was ready.
She wore a small crop top and a boxer which only covered her butts.
I was about to put on my joggers when she stopped me.
“Is there something wrong with your skin? You have some spots.”
I pressed my lips nervously and shook my head.”No. I have sensitive skin.”
“Oh. Take your time then.”She smiles lightly before walking out of the room.
I took a deep breath and wore my joggers.
Surprisingly, Labrinth, Marcos and Luca were present. Megan and Labrinth seemed to click since they were probably of the same age. They took some videos and pictures of themselves with their expensive phones.
I suddenly wished I’m in their crew, I wished I’m someone that could fit into their status. It’s not just meant for me.
Marcos was busy ogling around Stefano’s Mom, Begging for more food. Christ. Is he a pig?
Stefano’s Mom was avoiding me discreetly which I noticed. She’s surely beating herself up because of what happened between me and Stefano.
Luca was busy flirting with Amanda who seemed mad at him.
“You should have called me you fucker!”She cursed angrily at him but Luca only chuckled.
“I’ve missed you.”He pecks her cheeks while Amanda melts in his arms.
I could say that she’s in love with Luca, but I don’t think Luca is, Or he’s just concealing his emotions.
“Princess.”He called happily. I smile at him in response.
“Stefano must have gotten softer for you to mess around with his woman.”Amanda joked, smiling at me.
“He gave me this cut.”He scoffed, pointing to his lips.
“I wonder where he got that bad temper from.”
“From pops.”He blurted out. Luca regretted it immediately.
Amanda’s eyes glinted in pain as those words slipped from his mouth.
“Fuck. I’m sorry.”He mumbled holding her waist.
“Whatever.”She huff settled in his arms again.
“Can someone give me a hand!”Stefano’s Mom yelled from the room but everyone was busy having fun except me.
I took it as a clue to go help her in the kitchen.
