I sleep feeling Salvatore's lips all the time on mine.
???
When I woke up I was alone, it was the best because I felt like my lips had tripled in size. When I looked in the mirror it was true, they were somewhat swollen and red around the edges. Breakfast came to me in bed because the others were discussing Alessio and the recent attack. I just wait for Leone in the truck and when he gets in I see Salvatore approaching.
The nerves eat me alive.
Yesterday was an intense night.
Lots of emotions, lots of heat.
—Tamara starts, I have an exam and I'm late.
—Okay, miss.
He's about to get closer, he intends to stop near my window until Tamara pulls away and Leone starts laughing. I don't face him, I just look out the window.
—The Botox came for free, right?
—Shut up silly, it wasn't that big of a deal.
"You look like a duck, Emily," he mocks me. It's not something to be ashamed of either, not everyone has a person who leaves another person's lips purple and swollen.
—They don't look that purple, do they?
I take out the mirror that I carry in my bag to see them, I painted them a soft pink, I look at it and it smiles at me, there is only pain when I touch them and a couple of violet stains on the Cupid's bow that are not so visible.
"As I said, not everyone has the pleasure of spending many hours eating each other's mouths," he crosses his arms. And I know it wasn't with David because they were outside your room the whole time, I know who you did it with.
—It happened and that's it.
—And you ran away from him because you're embarrassed to feel things when he kisses you, it's normal Emily, everyone has reactions to certain stimuli —she rolls down the window a little—. And you saved yourself from being scolded, yesterday it wasn't nice to run for you, you know?
"I was upset, you were telling me things like I was... a pest that you needed to get rid of," I explain. And then I reconsidered, maybe I was thinking about you a lot, until he came and shook my head again.
He starts laughing again, I notice that he is in a better mood and that is pleasant because it is very heavy to carry such a dense atmosphere throughout the trip.
"Emily, yes, I think you're right with what you said yesterday, but I won't let you fill me with your wisdom because I need to process it." He raises his hand to stop me from speaking. And with yesterday, keep in mind that being my brother's conquest implies control, obsession and possessiveness. That is why many reject us, they feel that we prohibit them from even breathing and that is not the case, however, we worry a lot to the point of being overprotective of what belongs to us. So if I say they're going to eat at that place, they're going to do it and I don't want you to challenge me, I'm worse than Salvatore.
—Are you going to hit me? Because if that's the case, you should ask your brother how it went yesterday—he raises his eyebrows, interested. I almost knocked his teeth out so think twice.
—I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about being... strict and going the wrong way whenever they don't fucking listen to orders. That's why they are there, to follow them.
—Well, if I don't want to eat at that place then you'll go down for whatever me and David want, whatever.
—Ha, no shit! —He says sarcastically—. We all go down or none of us go down.
"It's an order, that's why they're there Leone," I hit him back. And you can also buy food where we do it, I know they are almost out of what Trixi's grandmother made for them.
—Don't be a liar, there was a portion left.
—It was a Leone pot!
-And?! The food is to eat Fiore.
Like little children we turn around offended, Tamara and Guillermo laugh from the front. I don't say anything until we get to school and it's time to work, there wasn't really any exam it was just my body trying to keep from exploding in front of everyone when he came near me.
Did it leave me that affected?
