I watched as Demitri and Sienna climbed out of the large SUV, and quickly greeted Felix before both leaned in to speak into Felix's ear.
They looked pissed off, all three of them.
Mind you, I was minding my own business when all of a sudden Sienna turned to look up at me, before leaning into Felix to whisper something into his ear, before he turned sharply and looked up to meet my eyes.
I let out a surprised squeak before falling back onto my ass, and quickly crawling towards the chair I had vacated.
I quickly pulled myself onto the seat, and tried to smooth out my clothes, before unsteadily reaching over and grabbing my glass of wine and chugged half of it's contents down.
The sound of the door opening caused me to jump slightly before turning to look, an innocent expression on my face.
I heard a sigh, before I saw him sit in the vacated chair in front of me, with an exasperated expression on his face.
"What?" I asked, innocently.
"You just couldn't do what I ask you to, could you?" He muttered, shaking his head at me amused.
I wrinkled my nose at him, briefly, before shaking my head in response. "No, I wanted to know who arrived…" I muttered.
"It's my brother and his wife. I'm expecting someone else soon…" he explained.
I raised a brow at him, "Is it the rest of her family?" I grumbled, scowling at our feet.
He scoffed, "Uh...no.."Before rolling his eyes at me and sighing at the look I gave him.
He grumbled something under his breath before sighing again, "You're not going to let it go are you?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes at him before motioning for him to go on. "When have I ever let anything go?" I asked.
"Never. Damn it." He grumbled.
"So, tell me. Is the person or people coming here, anyone I know?" I asked, as I leaned back.
He groaned. "It's Heidi, Rose and Alice, it was supposed to be a surprise, which you've ruined by the way…" He replied.
"That's wonderful! Lord knows I need some girl time and advice right now." I replied, softly.
"You say that like I didn't just help you." He pointed out.
"I'm not saying you didn't. You did. But I just... there's so much I need to do back home, and now I'm engaged to Edward… my head is spinning at how quickly everything happened." I replied.
"I know, and I am sorry about that, but there's more…. Sienna told me to expect her brothers here later…" He replied, dropping his head back.
I groaned, closing my eyes in exasperation.
"Why do I keep running into them everywhere?" I grumbled.
I heard him snicker before biting his lip and sitting up.
"Because you're irresistible." He told me teasingly.
I rolled my eyes, as I took a sip of the wine, before scoffing at him. "You're right, my charms have them coming back for more." I deadpanned.
As he was about to respond the door opened again and he got up.
The small woman said something quick in Italian, before scurrying away.
"They're here." He replied, turning towards me.
"Who is?" I asked, not bothering to get up.
"Alice and Rose…." He replied, hesitantly, while avoiding my gaze.
Suspicion lodged itself in me, as I stared at him.
His ass only started acting like this when he was trying to hide something.
"You said the Massimo brothers were coming. You neglected to tell me which ones. Who came here, Felix?" I asked, rising to my feet.
"It's not him,—" He began.
"Who is here, Felix?" I demanded.
"You need to calm down." He replied.
"You want me to calm down when someone I told I need time from is here to see you?" I asked, in disbelief, moving back towards the balcony's edge, my heartbeat quickening as I thought of seeing him again.
"He's not here!" He finally said.
I turned sharply to look at him, frowning. "What? Then who is here?" I asked.
"Aro, Jasper and Emmett. Edward had an emergency he had to tend to. He'll be here later tonight." He replied.
I looked back towards the view in front of me, placing my hands on the railing.
"Did you want him to be here?" He asked, sounding amused.
I frowned looking down at my hands. Twisting the rings on my left hand. "I don't know…." I told him, honestly.
Trying not to show my disappointment of him not being here.
He snorted, walking over to where I stood. "I'm just messing with you, he is here too." He replied, laughing at my shocked expression.
I gasped, turning to look up at him, only to realize he was shaking in silent laughter, as I did.
I swiftly reached up and smacked him upside the head.
"You asshole…" I grumbled.
"Bells, come on, I had to do it." He replied chuckling as he rubbed the sore spot.
"Why?" I grumbled.
"Because you two obviously have feelings towards each other. Why are you acting like you don't, when I can see it as clear as day?" He asked, giving me a pointed look.
"Because…" I mumbled looking away.
"He's not Tyler, Mike, or Eric, Bella." He replied.
I frowned at him, trying not to think of those assholes. "I know that…" I muttered.
"If you do, then you should also know that he won't hurt you." He added, giving me a pointed look.
I rolled my eyes at him, "I know that too."
"Then why do you close up and ignore your feelings?" He asked.
My eyes begun to sting as I remembered that last time I tried to open up only to end up getting hurt.
"Because… you remember what happened the last time I opened up." I replied, swallowing thickly as I stared ahead, swallowing the pain and pushing it away.
"Yes, I do." He replied curtly. "But I also remember that you are not that innocent girl anymore. You are more wise, far more stronger, and smarter than you were back then. You also know the difference between a man and a boy. So, use that intelligence you now have and open your eyes because if you don't, this world you accidentally stumbled upon, will eat you alive." He replied as he received a call.
He with one last look at me, he sighed, and pulled his phone out of his pocket and brought it up to his ear.
"What?" He asked.
Whoever answered, caused him to tense, as he looked up, to the end of the driveway.
I followed his gaze to see two large SUVs hurriedly making their way down the large driveway.
"Fuck." He muttered, as he turned to look at me.
He pulled me back into the house, down the hall, before he stopped, touching a spot on the wall.
He pressed a button, before he pulled me a large room, that looked to be made of titanium, before he hung up his phone.
"What the hell is happening?" I asked as he closed the door behind himself.
He ignored me, before pulling out a gun, and silently offering it to me.
"You remember how to use this, right?" He asked.
I frowned, nodding in confusion. "Of course I do, you and Daddy taught me how to use one. What the hell is going on, Felix? You're starting to worry me." I asked.
"Vincent Endrizzi is here with his goons. Before you ask I don't know what is going on, but I will find out. For now, just stay put." He told me.
"What is that asshole doing here?" I asked, frowning.
"I don't know but I promise you, I will find out. In a moment, Sienna, and the girls will be here. Stay within this room. Do not open the door, Demitri and I both have the code to get in. I mean it Isabella, stay in this room." He firmly said.
"Fuck, fine. I'll stay in this room. But you have to tell me how this all works when this is over got it?" I asked.
"Yes, now, be cool. Stay put." He he said as he pulled out another gun, and made his way out of the room.
What the fuck just happened?
