Meant to be 12. ARGUMENTS
ALEX''I'm going to invite Lucy and Nat to my birthday party''''Don't you fucking dare Sam'' Monica said, glaring at her.Here we go again!''Why the fuck you are so against it, Monica?'' Sam asked, glaring back.''Yeah, why?'' I kicked Rocco's leg when he asked that.One thing I got to know from years of friendship is that, never, I repeat, never get in the middle of a girl's argument.Thankfully, they are both busy glaring at each other to notice us.We do this shit twice or thrice a month according to our schedules. This time it's my place. I live in a separate house, apart from my family.When I say family, it means the whole family.My grandmother died before I was born, so it's just my grandpa Adriano, his first son, a.k.a my father Gilbert, his second son Gino, my uncle and his wife Melissa, along with their daughter Karina, that's our grandma's name, live in our family house, but I moved out as soon as I joined college.His third and precious child, my aunt Giada and her husb
Meant to be 13. BULLIES AND FIGHTS
LUCY''Didn't I tell you to complain to your teacher when someone bullies you? Then why did you hit him Jay?'' I'm furious to see him like this. His left eye was slightly swollen, his cheeks and knuckles were bruised.God!!! It must hurt a lot.''I-It was me who hit him first, Mamma. When he tried to hit me back, Jay came in front of me and this happened. I'm so s-sorry Mamma, I-I'll not do this again! I-I P-Promise!'' Vicky said, his voice cracked at the end, making me want to cry all over again.But I need to be strong! If I cry, he will cry too.''Did you cry Mom?'' Jay asked, placing his hand over my cheek. He opened his mouth for the first time since I came.I took his hand and squeezed it lightly.''No, I didn't and why is that only you two are here?'' I frowned, looking at him and Vicky.''Ma'am went to take a call, it's just been 10 mins mom. Don't stress out!'' I nodded and looked at Vicky.''Now tell me, why did you hit that boy in the first place!'' But he shook his head.I
Meant to be 14. BIRTHDAY PARTY
LUCY ''How is everything Ria?'' I asked her on the phone while going through my wardrobe. Sam invited me and Nat to her birthday party! She even asked me to bring the kids. I still don't know how she knows about Jay and Vicky. I'm assuming it's either Mr. Agosti or Mr.Ganovese was the one who told her. Yeah, he is not Hottie anymore. It's been more than a week since he came to my home. Things were awkward afterwards. I tried to speak to him many times during office hours, but he chose to ignore me. I was so hurt that I almost cried! So, now back to Ria. As we planned, I booked her a room in NewView! She is staying there from today for two weeks. Hope she finds something against Moretti's! ''Everything is okay. The room is so beautiful! The view from the balcony is awesome.'' She sounds excited. ''I'm glad you like it! But please be careful, if you ever have the slightest doubt that you are in danger, just run from there, OK?'' ''Okayyy'' she said in a sing-song voice. I rolle
Meant to be 15. LIKE A DATE!?
LUCY I hissed as soon as he slammed me against the door. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" ''I should be the one asking that!! What the hell do you think you are doing out there, huh? Trying to make me jealous—" ''Oh please, I know you don't have any kind of feelings towards me for you to be jealous, unlike what you said in my apartment– and that's exactly what I told your cousin too. So, why don't you save 'I'm your boss and your just my employee' speech to yourself ? That could save both of us a lot of time '' I snapped and looked at the wall to my left. He sighed, releasing me from his grip. He ran his fingers through his hair, licking his dry lips. '' Lucy— '' He started to say something but stopped placing his hands on his hips and sighed. I folded my arms and raised my eyebrows, looking at him in disbelief. He doesn't even have an explanation? I scoffed and muttered 'unbelievable'. I was about to turn around but he pulled me into a hug, making me shriek unlady
Meant to be 16. THE DATE!
LUCY Nat freaked out when I said I have a date and told me I was finally living a life. I rolled my eyes. Dramatic much? When I told my monkeys, Jay smiled and told me to enjoy myself, while Vicky begged me to take him along. It took a lot of time for us to convince him and he finally calmed down when Nat said they would have an indoor date while I was gone. It's still noon and the clock is not ticking fast enough. One minute it feels like I only have 5 hours and the next second it feels like I still have 5 hours. Urghhh. Right now, Nat is going through my closet, trying to find the perfect outfit for today's date. She was doing that for the past 30min and still didn't find anything. According to her and I quote '' Mr. Hottie will definitely take me to a grand place and all I have is grandma's clothes'' I rolled my eyes and decided to message Hottie. Me : Where are we going? I don't want to get underdressed or overdressed. I still didn't get a reply even after waiting for 5
Meant to be 17. ROYAL TREATMEANT!
LUCY''Fast! Fast!! Over take that car Alex!! YAY!!'' Vicky screamed when Alex overtook the car he pointed at.Jeez. Boys.We are going to Mr and Mrs. De Luca's house today for lunch. I totally forgot about that until Alex came to our home to pick us up.Vicky sat in the front while Jay and I were in the back. Alex said that it would take more than an hour to reach De Luca's house, so I had my mask on. Jay is silently playing with my phone. He is mad at me because I didn't inform him before.Hell, I don't even remember as I was excited about my date. And I honestly thought they were just being polite.My jaw dropped when we reached De Luca's mansion. There were four armed guards at the front gate. One of them signaled to open the gate as if they were expecting us.It took more than a minute to reach the mansion from the front gate. There are more armed guards along the way. When I was about to open the car door , it was opened by the guard startling me. He gave me a stiff nod when I s
Meant to be 18. G****E, HOW TO MAKEOUT WITH MY BOYFRIEND?
LUCY''He is just so hot, like he came out directly from the magazine. I mean how is that even possible?'' Beatrice, Alex's new assistant, said, shaking her head.It's been a few days since our date and I miss him like hell. We barely get any time to meet and I almost regret taking my old job back. Almost.But he always makes sure to call me though, atleast once a day. Sometimes he comes to our floor to meet Rocco, in excuse to see me. And sometimes, I go to his office, using some excuses like getting his signature or giving him some files, like right now.''Yes, I agree. I can go in now?'' I asked her impatiently, giving her a forced smile.''Uh-ah, not so soon. I know what you are doing, Lucy. You come here every chance you get and you wont even let me, his assistant, to take those files to him'' she gave a knowing look and continued. ''No offense honey, but he is out of our league. I tried flirting with him on my second day and almost lost my job. He literally said 'Ms. Calvo, I do
Meant to be 19. MS. SPY!
NICCOLO MORETTI (Few days back) ''Sir, Ms. Ilaria Salvo checked in yesterday.'' Said Eric, my assistant. I smirked. ''Where is Niven? I haven't seen him since morning.'' ''He is out to get a deal from Mr. Barnard, regarding his shares'' Eric said with a hint of a smile. ''You are not going easy on him, good.'' I said, giving him a knowing look. Niven is a carefree asshole, pampered and spoiled rotten by my mother. But Dad wants him to get on the right track, so I'm stuck with him until he learns how to run a business efficiently. I wrapped things at the office by noon and headed to NewView. As soon as I entered, I saw Ria sitting in the lobby, pretending to read a newspaper wearing a blonde wig and sunglasses. I scoffed. Who wears sunglasses while reading a newspaper? That too indoors. As always, she sucks at spying. I ordered my guards to leave her alone and let her do her thing. At first, I thought about changing my guards as they almost caught her last time at the mall but w
