Not One But Two

Chapter 8

Rosella's POV

Marcello quickly walks over to me and holds my face in his hands. His eyes start to wander all over me and I can tell that he was worried. His expression quickly fades away and is now replaced with anger. Angry?!?! Really what did I do?

"Why the fuck did we have you faint in our arms? Hmm? Do you know how concerned we were!" Marcello says.

"I don't need to hear this. Vex already gave me a lecture." I tell him and roll my eyes.

"Oh and there's that little attitude of yours again. You did a lot of that last night, I still think you need to have a little lesson on respecting others." He tells me sternly.

"Marcello" I hear Vex say quietly.

"No Vex!" Marcello quickly tells Vex. His head turns right back at me "That's great that you listened to Vex but now you're going to hear me. Do you know how fucking short your dress was at the club? All those assholes were looking at you and trying to touch you, Rosella!" He yells at me.

I stumble back at the way he talks to me. Oh shit, he called me by my full name.

I can't believe that he thinks he can talk to me this way and complain about what I wear on my own body! "You know what Marcello. I'm a grown-ass woman and I don't need you to complain about what I'm wearing. I can wear what I want! And why would you even care about other guys looking at me, you got your own receptionist staring and touching the both of you!" I yell back.

"Would you please stop about the damn receptionist? Rosella if you'd just listen and let us explain then you would understand!" He tells me frustratingly.

I just look at him appalled "Don't swear at me!" That is all that I can seem to say while trying to contain my anger.

I move away from him and run back to the bedroom to grab my dress and leave their stupid place. As I walk back downstairs I hear Vex talking to Marcello.

"Did you seriously have to talk to her like that! She already knows that she was being irresponsible there is no need to push it even more!" I hear him say.

"Vex, don't you understand something could've happened to her if we weren't there to catch her!" Marcello says to Vex.

"Yes, I know, but you need to control your temper especially with Rosella," Vex tells him.

I make my way down the stairs in the dress that I wore yesterday. I hold the dress shirt in my hand and start to call Ross so he can pick me up.

Vex runs up to me and asks "Going back home now?" he grabs my waist.

I move his hands off of me and shake my head. "Yeah I need to get ready for work, but umm" Just rip off the band-aid "I think, that day I was over at your company was a mistake. It shouldn't have happened. We have our own companies to run, I don't need these problems, and yeah it was just a mistake." I grab the doorknob and turn it.

Right as I was about to walk out I hear Marcello.

"Wait, Rosella, I'm- uh"

I scoff at his attempt on trying to apologize to me. "Here's your stupid shirt Marcello" I throw at him.

I walk out the door and make my way to the Audi. I then remember that I never let Mayu know where I was. I pick up the phone and quickly dial her number.

"I'm so sorry Mayu! The twins ended up bringing me to their place since I was drunk." I tell her.

"Oh thank god! I called you several times last night, but someone told me you went with the twins safely." I then hear some groaning in the background.

"Mmm baby stop. Just give me a second, I'm on the phone" I hear Mayu whisper and giggle.

"Mayu? Where are you? Who are you with? Are you with that guy that you fucked in your office?" I question her.

"What is this? 25 questions? And umm maybe" she sasses me.

"MAYU!! You've been holding information from me." I yell through the phone.

"Hehe bye!!" She says and hangs up.

~~~~~

Two weeks. Two whole weeks since I've last seen the twins. It doesn't matter though I'm finally concentrating on work more. All of that was a mistake. Oh please, we know you miss them and just want to jump them.

No, everything is better this way. I need to focus on my new designs and have them on the front cover of Lemonie magazine.

I then hear a knock on my door pulling me out of my thoughts, "Yep. Come on in." I yell.

I lift my head up once the door opens, I see Vex enter and Marcello following behind with a bouquet of red roses in his hand. Vex steps to the side so that his brother can walk in front of him. Marcello has his head down and he brings his arm up giving me the roses.

Fuck you, fuck you world.

I take the roses out of his hands hesitantly. Suddenly I hear Vex clear his throat and softly elbows his brother's side. Marcello gives him a stare and turns his head to look at me. "I uh actually wanted to come over here and give you the roses and um, apologize for the way I talked to you a while back." Marcello mumbles.

I raise my eyebrows and notice that Marcello is really trying to give his all in this apology.

"I know the way I talked to you was rude and harsh, princess. I was just so scared of what happened to you that I said things that hurt you, you are very important to us, and, fuck I'm sorry tesoro. We also wanted to explain about the receptionist thing with you." Marcello tells me.

"Go on," I tell them both while I make my way to the front of my desk and lean on it.

"Well, we were involved with each other at one point, but ever since we were around you we haven't spoken to her again. We would never go with some other woman when we have you in front of us. Or for any woman for that matter. I also wanted to let you know that we let her go." Marcello says quietly.

"Well,  I'm sorry that you had to let her go," I say softly.

"Tesoro, Vex, and I both know that you're not really sorry." Marcello chuckles.

I should've just listened to them about the whole receptionist situation, but I can't believe that they actually fired her. I also know that they were only worried for me that night, the worse could've happened if they weren't there.

"Your right I'm not sorry. I know that you guys were only having my back so thanks, she was a rude bitch anyways, so yes it's a great thing that she is gone now. Hopefully, the next one you hire will be better." I tell them both.

"Oh yes, now that's another reason why we let her go. We can't be having people that work for us be rude to our girl, right?" I blush at hearing Marcello saying 'Our'. I softly smile and turn my face away from them.

"Are you our girl? I mean, after all, you did say that what we are doing was a mistake. Hmm?" I hear Vex tell me.

"Vex," I say breathlessly. He walks over to me "I'm glad that you finally forgive us, but now I think it's definitely time we teach you your little lesson."

I feel Marcello push me down on the chair roughly. I gasp at the impact. I sit up and begin to stare straight up at the twins. Vex walks behind the chair I'm sitting in and stands close to me.

"I mean I did apologize to you about my anger, tesoro, but I don't think you've apologized for all the eye-rolling and attitude that you've been giving me and Vex now have you?" Marcello says with a smirk.

I gulp. Oh fuck.
