Morning light made its way through my green curtains, successfully waking me from my tomato filled dream. I lazily glanced at the clock. 8:04 a.m.
Great.
I let out a yawn before untangling myself from my cream colored blankets and sheets. Not bothering to make the bed since I know I'll eventually mess it up again anyway, I made my way out of my bedroom, passed the living room, and into the connected kitchen area.
Opening the fridge I noticed I had nothing to eat. I made a mental note to go shopping later.
I turned to look out over my apartment. A connected living room/Kitchen area as well as a single hall that had three doors. The one at the end of the hall was my bedroom, while the left door led to the bathroom, and the right to the laundry room. The theme of colors was green, white, and red. The Italian flag, only problem though was that you could hardly tell there even was a theme considering I never cleaned this shit hole once in my life living here.
Wait, no, that's not true. I have tried…. But I just made it worse. Cleaning and cooking isn't exactly my forte….. Feli got that trait. Hell! He got all of the good traits!
I walked into the bathroom and picked up my tomato tooth brush before spreading a generous amount of toothpaste on it. As I brushed my teeth as stared at my reflection in the mirror, and I wasn't impressed.
Same old slightly tanned skin that clashed with my olive green eyes. My hair was a rather dark auburn color that had a single curl on the right side of my head that refused to stay down. I'm not exactly handsome, but I wouldn't really categorize myself as ugly either….
Tch. Not like I care anyway. It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone, that's for sure.
I spit out the toothpaste and rinsed out my mouth before exiting the bathroom, not even bothering to brush my hair.
Walking into my bedroom I picked up a white dress shirt off the floor, smelling it just to make sure before slipping it on, leaving a couple of buttons undone for no other reason except for the fact that I'm just simply a lazy ass.
I searched around a bit more until I found a pair of black slacks, not even bothering to sniff them before sliding them on and zipping them up.
Deeming myself ready to go, I grabbed my keys, wallet, phone, and laptop from my white marble island table in my kitchen and walked out the door, not even bothering to lock it behind me. It's not like there's anything really important to steal in there anyway.
I clicked the unlock button on my keys before hopping into my red Ferrari sports car. Made in Italy.
After placing my laptop in the passenger's seat, I started the car. Destination: My stupid fratello's restaurant.
As soon as I pulled into their driveway, an immediate scowl made its way onto my face. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY BROTHER YOU POTATO BASTARD!" There. In front of the entry way, was Feli, with his fiancé, making out. I suddenly lost my appetite.
"Ve~? Fratello?" I walked up to them, annoyed as hell. "Did you come for some pasta again~?" Dammit Feli. You always make it so god damn hard to stay mad at you!
I sent a glare at the couple's now connected hands. "Si, bastardo." The German/Nazi(All German's are Nazi's right? Oh well.)/Shit head seemed to get the picture and moved out of my way so that I could get inside. To my annoyance however, they fallowed in after me.
"Just a second Lovino! I'll go make your pasta right away~ Ludwig~ Keep him company while I'm gone, ve~?" I glanced up at the creep as if daring him to speak. Luckily he didn't, until we sat down at a table.
"So…" CHIGI! SHUT UP! "How have you been?" I crossed my arms and snorted.
"Since when? Oh you mean has anything been new since I saw you 10 hours ago for dinner? Tch. Well I slept, dumbass." I glanced passed the awkwardly stiff German to check how business was going. I was the only one there, which wasn't a big surprise since this is a lunch and dinner place anyway. Most people don't eat pasta for breakfast.
"O-oh… right…." I smirked to myself for successfully making the blonde across from me feel like a moron. Way to go me.
Not moments later Feli came back with the pasta and a glass of water. I mumbled a 'Thanks' as my fratello slid into the booth next to his fiancé.
Feli pretty much did all of the talking as I ate my meal, mostly about the wedding preparations.
Then, out of nowhere, he decided to ruin the fairly decent mood we had going. "Ve~ So how has your love life been fratello~?" I chocked on a few noodles, but I managed to wash them down by chugging my glass of water.
I pushed my nearly empty plate away from me and whipped my mouth on my sleeve. "Fine." I grumbled. You could also call it nonexistent.
"Ve~? Details, details~" I inwardly cursed my brothers stupidity.
"Uhh… Feli…. Didn't you want to invite Lovino to come with us tonight?" Nice save potato head! For once I was actually grateful for the German being there.
"Ve~ Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Fratello~ We are going to go out drinking tonight at 11 with Luddy's brother and a few of his friends~ Will you come and join us, ve~?" Drinking, hmm? I COULD use a drink considering how much stress has been building up thanks to the deadlines that are coming up and Bella never giving me a break unless it's to eat or sleep…. Sometimes not even…
"Which bar?" I asked nonchalantly. Wouldn't want them to know I'm actually glad they gave me this escape route from the claws of my Belgium editor. She may seem all sweet and carefree…. But when it comes to deadlines she's evil!
"Ve~ The one next to Yao's Chinese restraint that we ate at last week for dinner~ You know~ Kiku's boyfriend Yao's place~? You remember Kiku don't you~?" Kiku…. Kiku…. Oh yeah! That Japanese guy who was one of the potato's old friends from high school…. I remember him… and then that long haired guy… Yao, right?
Restaurant my ass! That was more like an entire china town that just seemed to appear out of nowhere one day!
"Yeah yeah I got it…. See you there." With that being said I placed my money on the table, including tip, like always, before heading out to my car again.
As soon as I was buckled, I started up the car and drove over to the library to get some work done.
Walking in through the sliding doors always made me feel more relaxed. The library just had a comforting feel to it. As I sat down in my regular seat, I plugged in my laptop and waited for it to load.
I always sit in the same seat. Last two person table in the corner, right next to a window that viewed the library's garden.
I had always wished I could make my own garden, even grow some tomato's in there as well as flowers…. But truth is life's a bitch and I had to learn the hard way that I'm just not cut out for gardening. Just another one of my many flaws.
I turned back to my screen and noticed it was done loading. I typed in my password and opened the file to my latest story. As if right on cue, my phone vibrated from inside my pants pocket. I didn't have to look to know who it was.
From: Bella
To: Lovino
You better not forget about the deadline coming up! Love u hun, but get to work! 3
I slid my phone back into my pocket before re-reading what I had typed the other day. Inspiration started to flow from seemingly nowhere as my fingers typed away all on their own. Everything was going quite well until-
"Um… Excuse me…. But I was wondering…. Are you by any chance Lovino Vargas?" Chigi! Dammit! I was in the middle of something!
"Can't you see I'm busy, bastard!" I looked up only to lock eyes with energetic and excited bright green ones.
"You are, aren't you!" The man stated more than asked. Cocky bastard.
I examined the new found bastard. He had dark brown curly hair as well as nicely tanned skin. He was pretty well built and if I had to guess I would say he was a Spaniard not only because of his appearance but his accent as well.
"I am. What of it?" A book was promptly shoved in front of my face. A small "Chigi!" escaped my lips, that in which I would deny if ever asked about it again.
"Please sign this for me!" I glared at my own picture on the back of the book that was blocking my vision from the rest of the world. Dammit! This guy is starting to piss me off!
"Fine!" I yelled as I snatched the book from his hands, ignoring the warnings I got from a few of the librarians.
I grabbed a pen that had been sitting in the middle of the table and flipped open the front cover. I noticed through the corner of my eye that the Spaniard had knelt down and was staring expectantly at me as I wondered what the hell I should write since all I could think of was how pissed off I was.
"What's your name bastard?" I waited impatiently as the man's lips perked up into an even wider smile.
"Antonio Fernandez Carriedo!" I frowned. Shit that's a long fucking name.
Nonetheless I started writing a message for the creep.
Dear bastard, A.K.A. Antonio Fernandez Carriedo,
LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! CHIGI!
-Lovino Vargas *A tomato*
I handed the book back to the Spaniard and stared as his face lit up. What? Can he not read?
"That is the most adorable drawing of a tomato I have ever seen! Do you draw those for everyone?" My face flushed immediately.
"N-no! Bastard! I just really want a tomato right now s-so… just shut up!" I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest as I turned my bright red face away from Antonio.
"Lovi~ You look like a tomato~ Hahahaha~" Wait. WHAT!
"Did you just call me LOVI!" My face heated up even more if that was possible. WHAT THE FUCK! DON'T GIVE ME NICKNAMES!
"Si~ You can call me Toni if you like~" Fuck no!
"Get away from me you tomato bastard! I need to work!" By now the librarians looked like they were about to murder me.
"But what if I never see you again, Lovi~?" He pouted. That fucking Spaniard… pouted. THAT'S A CHEAP SHOT, DAMMIT! I could never stand when my brother pouted either! I have a weakness for those kinds of things!
"No!" I whisper-yelled, standing my ground. I'm not going to give in!
"But Lovi~~~~" Before he could say any more, I stood up, grabbed my laptop, and left. He seemed to get the picture and just watched me leave.
