"LUCAS" I screamed before bouncing on his figure something I never get tired of doing, call me babyish I don't care. His cologne smells so different and so did the laugh that just erupted from him and before I could ask....I saw Lucas approaching us and without warning I jumped off whosoever back this was. The stranger in turn turned to stare only for him to make my heart thump, quick definition of who was standing in my front was DEMI GOD!!! with ocean blue eyes that I got lost in and dimples...yeah dimples and I began gaping like a fish I was.

Was that a smirk?..nooo he just fucking smiled at me,my fragile heart thumped so hard against my chest, I became scared that I was going to call sick. "Are they done eye fucking each other?" Lucas said ,"nope I think we should go and come check up on them later" Ari replied, that was enough to snap me out of his trance "who the hell are you?"

"Nice to meet you too Belle, am Alessio Salvorez" I corked an eyebrow at him, "Salvorez as in Lucas American brother?" "Yes if I may answer I am

looking at Lucas

this guys crazy handsome younger brother and Ari's best friend" "nah

grabbing Ari

she's mine baby, suck it up , you just made me hungry" I said pouting before leaing into Lucas warmth "now you too are done with your chattering let's go celebrate your new job" he said before pinching my nose "wow you got a job in this estate..if I may ask where?" Stranger danger asked.Rolling my eyes I said "none of your business hot chick" "what!!??" Best friend snatcher asked as though he couldn't believe he was the hot chick while Ari bursted into a crazy fit of laughter before giving me a high five.That is for messing with my emotions...hot chick...hahaha!!

"I heard you Belle" who cares? I wondered why people kept on throwing glances my way ignoring their stares I turned to face hot chick "it's Ivory,hot stuff". Upon entering the ALI'S restaurant the waiter approached us as though we owned it.Lucas looked at her and smiled"stop staring at us as though we own it" she smiled nervously before taking our orders with shaky hands. I smacked him before saying"apologize jerk" he turned to me in order to avoid it but I gave him my death glare and he grudgingly apologized, "good boy"she flashed me a greatful smile and went to get our order.

Just as we dug into our food, a girl walked in dressed in almost nothing, "oh my gosh Alessio , so it's true..I can't believe you are back" she then launched herself on his lap before turning to face us"oh Lucas darling and Ari, almost didn't sight you.. hello" I stared at her expecting my hello..I mean I'm not invisible "hmm bitch nice to meet you too" ,Ari slyly nudged me knowing I was going to embarrass the stuck up bitch but I shrugged her off. "What did you just say to me?"

"Well I greeted, I mean it's obvious you have just been roughed up..girl you stink of s*x at least have some modesty" she start ranting incoherent words as though I care.

Ignoring her I kept on eating and after she was done or better still saw I was not going to give her attention but she was rather embarrassing herself terribly, she left. I raised my head to see Lucas, Ari and Alessio staring at me, mouthful I asked"what?!" "You are crazy" "how do ever keep fit?" "You are one interesting person" they replied simultaneously, ignoring them I kept on eating.

**ALESSIO POV**

"It felt so refreshing to meet a girl who could put Barbie I'm her place, could eat like a giant without watching weight and above all my kind of girl, one who could cause chaos in my head and make my heart run a marathon." Just so you stop staring, I got a job at...oh here I mean the office,as ALI'S boss p.a" she said before she began to gush "am so excited to put him in his place "what!! ".

" You need to hear the stories Ari and Lucas fed me with" I glanced at both Ari and Lucas..what game where they playing, " they said he's a manwhore, a crazy jerk.." I watched her talk about ME! ,yes me, if only she knew, Lucas shook his head as she rambled while Ari took pictures but I was captured by her lips I watched them move so swiftly, I watched so intently and found myself wanting to taste those plump lips.

"Are you even listening? Or let me guess you are thinking of how good my lips taste?" Color left my face, how the hell?, "HA!! You should have seen your face" Lucas said bursting into laughter alongside Ari something I never see him do, "jerks" "done posted, welcome to the family Alessio" As though Ari understood my confused stare she explained "well Ivy here has a weird habit of posting embarrassing....

cutting in Ivy added "cute"

...sorry cute embarrassing photos and she got yours", "is that supposed to make me feel better?" She chuckled and said "nah..Lucas avoided me for a week, you can check out his picture, that's if you have time".

This Ivy Adams wasn't the one I met four years ago, Ivory Adams you just spiked my curiosity.

Leaving was tougher than I thought as I lay on the bed my mind wandered towards Ivory and immediately I searched for her on IG and then bursted into laughter seeing my picture, Ivory was damn serious, I quickly followed her and commented "one strike Ivy" I scrolled down after reading the comments on how hot I was...I wanted to see Lucas and with these posts I doubt if it's gonna be possible...
