"Thanks, Markus," I say as I enter the house. Rocco and Vinny follow as they greet him.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asks as he closes the door behind him.

"Meeting with your sister," I say and a confused look grows on his face.

"She's in the shower right now. She should be out in-" he pauses once he notices her walking down the steps with her damp hair and her undergarments. "Now."

"Oh wow," Rocco says as he puts his full attention on her. She freezes once she realizes we're all here... Staring at her in nothing but a bra and underwear.

"Hey guys," her body slightly relaxes. We just nod our heads and she turns her attention to Markus. "Where's Greyson? He stole my fucking shirt again."

"The green one... Short sleeve button up?" he asks and Stella nods. "He's wearing it right now. I have the same one though, it's in my closet."

"You both need to stop stealing my shit without fucking asking," she complains.

"Whatever. We're going to the mall after this meeting right?" he asks.

"That's why I fucking asked. I was going to wear this bra with the button-up," she says and he nods.

"You should wear the green bra, white button-up, and jean shorts with the green black and white Jordan 1's," he says. "It'll make the green pop out more."

"Retro's?" she asks.

"What other Jordan 1's do you fucking own?" he says and she flips him off as she runs upstairs. "Can you believe it? Fucking idiot, I tell you."

"Not to like disrespect you man, but your sister is-" I cut Rocco off.

"Alright now. Calm down," I say and he throws his arms up in defense.

The room grows quiet as we all wait for Stella to come back. Rocco starts whistling to fill the awkward silence but instead pulls a laugh out of Markus.

"What's up with your sister?" Vinny spits and Markus' eyes widen.

"Ask her," he shortly answers which makes me want to pull all of my hair from out of my scalp.

"She won't tell us. We've now come to you," Vinny says and all he does is shrug.

"My loyalty lies with her... Forever and always," he says.

We're cut off by her footsteps running down the steps. She's now changed into the outfit Markus suggested and her hair is still a little damp but mostly dry. It's in that curlyish wavyish state instead of it straightened which is my favorite. Her natural beauty is above any other.

But even if her face is all beat up with makeup and her hair is straightened or curled, she still looks fucking stunning. I like her either way.

She asks... Well more like tells Markus to look for her shoes before saying a soft "c'mon" as she begins walking to her office.

"Is this a one-on-one conversation or are they coming in as well?" she asks.

"You asked for witnesses the last time," I say as we step into her office to already have Salvatore and Dante standing in the room. Stella stops in her tracks as if they weren't supposed to be in here.
