"Please Mr. Santino, I need more time." The man pleaded.
"More time, I gave you six extra months to get me my money." Paige's father spat at the man.
"Find it in your heart to spare me, please." He pleaded.
"You think I don't have a heart, I'm a family man, I got to provide for my little girl and these four gentlemen here. How am I supposed to do that when you borrowed fifty-thousand dollars out of my pocket and you haven't paid me back?" He asked.
"Please show some mercy." He pleaded.
"Carmine, Anthony, show him some mercy." He said and started to walk out, "Don't get any blood on my floor. The two of them picked him up by his arms and carried him out the back door, just as Paige came down the stairs. She heard two gunshots.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Probably something outside, what are you doing here my Bella?" Her father asked, Bella was a nickname he gave her when she was young, which meant 'Beautiful' in Italian.
"I want you to meet someone, you have to be nice or else I'll be out on the street." She said.
"I'm always nice, it's your brothers you should worry about." He said and she playfully smacked him in the arm. Randy came down the stairs into the restaurant basement.
"Is this a new boyfriend?" Her father asked.
"No, this is my roommate Randy." She said.
"Nice to meet you sir." Randy said and shook her father's hand.
"He's got a firm handshake, I like him already." Her father said.
"Who's this?" Carmine asked as he and Anthony came back inside after dumping the dead body in the trunk of its car.
"Randy, these are my brothers, Anthony, Carmine, Peter and Luke, guys this is Randy." She said.
"Cool," Anthony said causing Paige to raise one perfect eyebrow in surprise.
"What, no yelling, stomping out, or making threats like children?" She asked.
"As long as there isn't anything going on, if you catch my drift." Luke said.
"Then we would have to break your knee caps." Peter said, there was along silence.
"He's kidding," Carmine said and they all started to laugh. Paige looked at her watch.
"Shoot, I got to go." She said.
"You just got here." Her father said, she had taken a large blue velvet box out of her messenger bag and placed it on the table, she took out a tiny mirror and did her mascara and cherry red lip-gloss. She took the bobby-pins out of her bun and put them in her mouth; she brushed her hair out and took out a bottle of hair spray.
"You should really close your eyes." She warned and then started spraying her hair, she coughed slightly and waved her hands in front of her face to clear the spray from her airway. She looked at her hair with satisfaction and placed the crown on her head.
"Is it on straight?" She asked.
"You look perfect." Her father said and the rest nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys, I have to go to this reading thing, I'll see you later." She said and she and Randy left.
"Dad that was too close, what if Paige heard what happened in here?" Anthony asked.
"What are we going to tell her?" Luke asked.
"Nothing, I'm keeping her out of this as long as I can, let her keep thinking I'm a restaurant owner." Mr. Santino said and they all nodded in agreement.

Two nights later, Holly and Paige were sitting on Paige's bed reading horoscope's from the latest Elle. Holly was now reading Paige's to her.
"Gemini: Be very aware this year Gemini, it's going to be a bumpy one, great things will be one, and some lost, finally a secret will surface and you will have to make a choice." She read.
"That was creepy; I've never heard one like that before." Paige said. Just then, the doorbell rang. Paige and Holly jumped off the bed to try and make it to the door before Randy. They got there first and Paige opened it to see Ricky standing there with a dozen roses she was about to slam the door but he stuck his foot in the way.
"Paige, please just…hear me out." He pleaded.
"You have five minutes and that's it." She said standing with her arms crossed. Holly walked away and into the den where Randy was and sat next to him.
"Who's at the door?" He asked.
"Ricky, I think he came to apologize, but they're about to have it out on the porch." She said. Randy turned the TV off and they could hear the conversation.
"I've been thinking, Paige I made a big mistake, you were the best thing that ever happened to me." He said.
"I have that affect on people." She said with a sarcastically.
"Baby, I'm serious." He said.
"Don't 'baby' me, why should I take you back?" She asked, cocking a perfect eyebrow.
"I'm helpless without you, I can't eat, I can't sleep, I've just been thinking about you and what a fool I've been. I'll do anything to make it up to you, just take me back. I'm nothing without you." He said.
"One more shot, under one condition." She said.
"Anything, I love you." He said.
"Never ever mention sex to me again, I'll let you know when I'm ready." She said.
"Done, god Paige I love you so much." He said.
"Umm…thank you." She said.
"Thank you, I said I love you and you say thank you?" He cried.
"Remember what we were just talking about, I'll say I love you when I'm ready." She said.
"Right, sorry." He said.
"Are you coming inside?" She asked.
"I have to get home and write a philosophy paper, but I'll see you later." He said.
"Bye, and thanks for the flowers." She said and kissed him on the lips quickly before he left. She tried to open the door, but there was heavy weight on it, the second time she pushed harder and fell right through, when she got up she saw Randy and Holly on the ground.
"You were listening to my conversation?" She asked.
"Where did you get that idea?" Holly asked. Paige just looked at her with an expression that seethed sarcasm.
"Okay, so maybe we were." Randy said. She gave them an evil look and walked into the kitchen.
"Paige come back we're, what are you thinking about doing with those ice cubes?" Holly asked.
"Paige, put the glass of ice cubes down." Randy said before she started pelting them with the ice and that night turned into a huge ice fight with two of the greatest people she knew.
