After the whole bully incident I started hanging around Matthew and Gilbert more. It took a while to get used to Gilbert in general, and Matthew was really nice. And when I hung around them no bullies came after me, not like I couldn't just kick there asses back to their mommies. Though Carson had interrogated me why I was so happy after coming home from school, but that was all in the past and today was Saturday a day free of all crazies.
"Romano! Someone's on the phone the asked for you!" Maria's voice called out; grabbing the phone I held it to my ear.
"Hello?" I said maybe it was Feliciano!
"The awesome me is calling you!" Screamed an annoying voice. I sighed in annoyance how the hell did he get my phone number!
"Gilbert! How did you get my phone number!" I asked trying to stop from cursing at him as I could hear him cackling in the background.
"Remember you gave it to me!" His loud voice called out I could hear a muffled voice seemingly chastise him, I had a feeling Matthew was there with him. I did remember him forcing me to give him my phone number in payment for helping me. I supposed that's what he was referring to.
"Yes now I remember! You forced me to write down my phone number after you made the boys run away as "Payment"." I said my voice dripping with sarcasm and attitude as Maria called it. I could hear silence before there was small bang.
"Mattie!" I heard Gilberts muffled voice say as a much quieter voice shushed him.
"Gilbert wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the zoo." Matthew said I like him a bit more then Gilbert he was so calm and shy. But at the same time I knew that if he didn't harden up he might have a hard life.
"I suppose so I'd have to ask Carson." I said though the zoo was sounding pretty nice even with Gilbert along.
"But Gilbert is trying to make it so that your Mom or dad will take you too the zoo and we tag along." I could hear another muffled 'Mattie!' In the background I thought it about it for a while but I suppose I did need to pay him back for chasing away those bullies even though I could have fucking done it myself.
"Possibly but I have to ask Carson." I said then rushed down the steps trying to figure out where to look for Carson in this ignoramus mansion. Luckily for me in that time span he came walking into the main room.
"Carson! Bastard! Over here!" I called out and he walked over smiling at my angry expression making me growl and glare more.
"We're going to the zoo." I said my glare deepening when he lit up and hugged me almost making me drop the phone in my hand.
"You're becoming more social! I'm so proud of you!" He said wiping a fake tear from his eye and before he could go on a long monologue I got back to the point bracing myself for more hugs.
"Gilbert and Matthew are coming as well." I said as he positively beamed and went in for another hug but I side stepped him and with his eyes closed he fell straight to the floor. I scowled at his stupidity, if he hadn't tried to hug me he wouldn't be on the floor, simple as that.
"Are they your friends? I have to go tell Maria!" He said and started to run out of the room pausing before he was out of sight completely. "We'll leave in an Half an hour!" He cried then was out and I held the phone back up to my ear. Hearing some quiet bickering coming from the background.
"Matthew, Pick up bastard" I said feeling bad about calling him that but it was a habit that he and Gilbert were used to and I tried to think that it was toughing him up a bit.
"yes." I heard Matthews's quiet voice say.
"Carson said we leave in an half an hour." I said then there was a shout of protest and Gilbert's voice came through the phone again.
"We'll be there!" he shouted.
"How do you know where we live?" I asked scared at what would be the answer.
"You live in a huge ass mansion how could I not!" Gilbert voice cackled through and I scowled, I wasn't like I was happy living here. I don't care what anybody says I'm not happy here. You are all fucking wrong
"Me and Mattie will be there!" He shouted once again and the click signaled the end of the call. I knew that Gilbert was annoying and not a good friend and at first I was going to give him a rude gesture and walk off. But I found out that his younger brother was also separated from him. And so as the worst decision of my life I let Gilbert be my friend.
I retract thought that saturday was free of all crazies, aparantly Gilbert is his own breed of crazy.
I had a feeling that the rest of the staff was already notified of my excursion because of Carson (who had decided that it was his mission to make me be more social and "get into the world more often"). But so far it hadn't worked and because I hadn't told anyone about Gilbert and Matthew this was the first he had heard of them.
I decided that it was time to find Carson again so grabbing one of my many fedora's which Carson said made me look "mafia like" personally I didn't think it was such a bad thing. I heard Carson before I found him actually.
"Kitchen staff, guess what! Romano has friends!" I could feel there horror from all the way across the room. I may or have may not messed the whole kitchen up. Multiple times. And if they were scared of me (as they should be) they would be horrified at Gilbert (I had been at the receiving end of far too many of his pranks not to fear them).
"Hey Bastard!" I called out, it was becoming more and more so his name. Especially since he had made the mission 'get-Romano-into-the-world'.
"Romano!" Carson cried out running to hug me only to fall flat on his face again as I side-stepped him, once again.
"I really shouldn't try to hug you with my eyes closed" he said rubbing the sore bump on his head.
"Got that right you fucking bastard." I grumbled out.
"Language!" Maria, who had just been passing through chastised as she walked to the pool area her blue dress blowing behind her. Meredith just chuckled as she walked up to Carson.
"I heard your shouting about Romano's friends all the way across the mansion! You have an inside voice. Use it!" she said slapping him lightly on the back of the head. Maria cackled from the doorway as she left for the pool at Carson kicked puppy look.
"Hey Meredith do you want to go to the zoo with us!" He said trying to subtly ask her out on a date. I rolled my eyes at his puppy dog look. But Meredith wasn't even looking at him.
"Sure sounds fun when are we leaving?" She asked looking up into his face clearly excited at the prospect of the zoo. I hadn't been to the zoo since I was four with…I hadn't been to the zoo for a while lets leave it at that.
The doorbell rang and Carson using speed I didn't know was possible rushed there and opened the door only to see a smiling, correction, smirking, Gilbert and a shy Matthew.
"Romano!" Gilbert shouted waving while Matthew just gave a small wave in response. Carson seemed to fucking glow at the statement.
"Off to the zoo!" Carson yelled herding us to the car. More like dragging us to the car.
"Bastard" I mumbled as I climbed into his car, because we wanted to seem as normal as possible and taking a limo to the zoo didn't seem like the way to do that.
Never, ever, ever, ever, let Carson drive anything, especially a car. I think we were all green by the time that the car stopped in the zoo parking lot.
"How the holy hell did you ever get your license!" She said incredulously at him. How did he get his license?
"What do you mean?" he asked generally confused at her statement. I had a feeling that the people who tested him were blind and not very observant or motion sick what so ever.
"I agree with the unawesome chick." Gilbert said queasily.
"What do you mean "Unawesome Chick" I am awesome thank you very much!" Meredith said her voice cross as she looked incredulously at him.
"What I mean-"
"Let's just get out of this stupid car." I grumble and they stop there argument enough to get out of the car.
"Jeesh you guys must be really motion sick!" Carson said looking at us all our faces tinted green.
"Bastard." I said walking towards the gates for the zoo.
"I agree with the little demon." I heard Meredith say before she started to follow me the rest of them following soon after Carson still confused as ever.
I didn't know that Gilbert actually had a heart until we went through the Bird Exhibit.
"Look how cute it is!" Gilbert said looking at a fierce some looking Bird from some where in South America.
"Yeah 'cute' because that's exactly what I would call 'cute'" I said my voice dripping Sarcasm.
"I need a little bird and I'll name it Gilbird. Because nothing's awesomer then me!" He said and all I could imagine was an aggressive looking bird sitting on an evil looking Gilbert's Shoulder. I shuddered shaking the image out of my head only to see Matthew doing the same thing.
"That was ...disturbing." He said and I couldn't help but agree as Gilbert went around and named all the birds in the vicinity names that sounded all suspiciously like 'Gilbert'.
We finally got out of the Bird area and we were headed for the gift shop when I bumped into a girl. She had red hair that came down a little past her shoulders curling around her body her bangs stopping just before her eyes.
"Sorry!" she called out rushing off I followed her with my eyes until I finally shook off the feeling and hurried after the Carson and the others.
"Where did you disappear to?"Gilbert asked as we looked around at the stuffed animals as he dug through them to find a stuffed bird.
"No where." I said as I picked up a stuffed Wolf. Feliciano's favorite. Hugging it to my chest I walked up to the register paying for it with my allowance for that week.
"You got a stuffed animal?" Meredith asked when we got out of the gift shop Gilbert happily hugging a stuffed yellow bird.
"Yes dammit." I said not wanting to hear about it. I didn't even really know why I bought it myself other then that it was Feliciano's favorite animal.
But as I hugged it to my chest on our way home as the car (which Meredith was driving) lulled me to sleep along with Gilbert and Matthew. I couldn't help but believe I had made the right the decision.
