Vanished Into Thin Air (Rossi Series Book #1)

Me And I Am

Gemma:

Lunch is awkward to say the least. Blair and Kane are sitting diagonal from me. Both are in between Vincent and Maximus. Gianni is sitting on the other side of Maximus. All five are talking quietly amongst themselves. I'm sitting here, not talking at all. I'm eating my salad while listening to those five talk about nonsense shit. Lucian is still glaring at Kane while shoving food in his mouth. Dad, Galileo, Valentino, Matteo, Renzo, Nikolai, and Julian are talking about their plans on invading that crazy ninja lady's hideout. Leonardo and Alonzo are talking about chicks and hacking.

Are they like programmed for this shit?

Like let's talk about the weather or new shoes....

Or a cat.

No a wolf dog names Hercules.

"Can I have a puppy?" I suddenly ask.

What the fuck am I doing?

What the heck did I just ask? Why did I just ask about a puppy when I was just thinking about a wolf dog? What is wrong with my brain today?

Everyone's silent chatter abruptly halts and everyone is staring at me. Now all the attention is on me which I never wanted to begin with. Lucian is doing small chuckles and his icy glare as melted from his face. Alonzo , Vincent, Leonardo and Maximus are staring at me like I'm an alien. Gianni, Julian, and Nikolai are staring at me with soft expressions. Renzo has a bright smile on his face. Matteo has a small smile on playing on his cold exterior. Valentino is staring at me like I've gone mad. Dad has his mouth wide open, looking like I have ten heads on my small shoulders while blowing out fire like a dragon.

Did I say something wrong?

Is something on my face?

"Wait? What?" Matteo asks.

"Did she ask for a dog?" Nikolai says with a smile.

"Yes? You know for company, protection, companionship?" I question back with my brow raised.

"That's what you have your brothers for." Dad states.

"Sure if you want each one drowned in the pool by nightfall. Yea." I comment back.

My comment has all my brothers riled up. Each one complaining or stating how I'm wrong. How they aren't that bad. Their complaints and my look has dad and Galileo in an uproar of laughter.

What is so funny? I am speaking the truth; I will end up drowning my brothers by night fall.

"At a time like this?" Julian asks.

"Well, yeah I guess? I answer his own question with a damn questionable question.

"We will see." Dad finally says.

"Is dad really thinking about getting her a puppy?!" Vincent screeches.

"What breed are you wanting?" Kane asks out of no where.

"Have you researched the best breeds?" Gianni asks.

"If not we can research for you." Leonardo comments.

"Actually, I have. A wolf hybrid." I state.

"A what!?" Matteo screams.

"She said a wolf." Lucian says with a chuckle.

"I thought she would go for an ankle biter!" Leonardo grumbles.

"Like a pomsky?" Gianni asks.

"No. A wolf hybrid. Or wolf. Either or. They'd make a great watch dog and companion ." I state with a matter of fact tone.
