Episode 4 - Inseparable

Alejandro's POV:

Lorenzo entered the property and we pulled up into the private parking.

Lèa had ended up inviting her friends over to the house and I was quite happy she'd done so.

We got out of the car and entered the house. We met meema in the living room Reading a novel.

"Hello meema." We each kissed her.

"Hello darlings. How was school today?"

"Fine fine."

"Hello ma'am." Diana and Ariana greeted in a chorus.

"Welcome girls." She smiled at them then turned to Lorenzo and I "Your mother would be here soon. She's out. She's got something to tell you."

"Okay meema. We'll just retire to our rooms then." Lorenzo replied, turning and heading for the stairs. I followed him.

"Won't you have lunch?" She asked.

"Not hungry. We'll eat later."

"I'm going upstairs with my friends." Noemi told her.

"Okay. I'll ask Juanita to bring some cookies and juice to your room for your friends."

"Thank you. I love you."

"Love you too."

Lorenzo and I like the gentlemen we were, let the ladies up first.

"I wonder what mom wants to tell us." Lorenzo said, falling on my bed. We had separate rooms yet we seemed to be sharing one.

It was either both of us in his room or both of us in mine. Our stuff were mixed up. I had some clothes and belongings in his room and vice versa.

When we were younger we shared a room with two beds. Our parents decided to separate us when we turned ten with the excuse that Lorenzo and I were too fusional.

Duuuh. We were twins!

Apparently they wanted us to learn or get used to being apart from time to time. But they soon discovered that that didn't work. We were always with each other. I didn't even try to imagine my life without Lorenzo. Neither did he.

"Must be important with all the insisting on all of us being present." I replied, taking my T-shirt off.

"Here. Your T-shirt." I laughed, throwing it on his face.

"I told you to always wash my stuff before giving it back. Dumbass." He joked, throwing it back at me.

"Like you washed my shoes after you went out with them on that rainy day? You gave them back to me all muddy. So shut up and take your ugly T-shirt..."

I threw it back and he caught it, rolling his eyes.

Just then we heard Noemi laughing and leaving her room that wasn't far from ours.

"Let me get some water. Be right back!" We heard her say, followed by a door's bang.

"Seems she left her friends all alone. How bad." I pouted, pretending to be sad about something.

"Oh don't worry. Let's give them company." Lorenzo smiled mischievously, rubbing his palms together and making me chuckle.

"Let's tell them about Dino's party."

"Right. Let's go."

Lorenzo's POV:

We left the room and headed straight to Noemi's room.

We entered without knocking. The girls had been sitting on the bed chatting.

They froze for a second and then adjusted and smiled brightly at us.

"Hello in here." I smirked at them.

"H...hello. What's up?" Ariana asked with a smile.

"We're good."

"Yeah you sure look good." Diana giggled, staring at my shirtless brother.

"Well thank you Diana."

We approached them, sitting on the edge of the bed. I sat close to Diana and Al to Ariana.

"Thing is..." I started in a low voice, my eyes dropping to her lips and making her feel wanted; "...Dino is organising a  party this Saturday. And I want a beautiful girl I can..." I let my gaze drop to her cleavage then back to her eyes "...dance with the whole night. And have fun with."

"Same here." Alejandro smirked at Ariana, letting some of her red braids through his fingers "...I like your hair." It was almost a whisper.

I struggled to keep a serious face on cuz I really wanted to laugh.

"Thank you. But we know what's going on here." Ariana stated, folding her arms.

"Mhmmm. They're playing us..." Diana mused, rolling her eyes.

"You think?" I mused "Al tell them what we're doing."

"We're flirting sweethearts. Flirting has nothing to do with playing."

"Oh really..."

"Yeah really..." I smirked at Diana and though she wanted to play tough, her eyes exposed her dirty thoughts.

Same for Ariana who unintentionally couldn't stop staring at Alejandro's chest.

"Just say yes. It's just a party..." I stared at her lips again.

"Please..." Alejandro added and we smiled at them.

"Well...I'm free so..." Ariana said. One done, another to go!

"No Ari. Noemi wouldn't approve this." Diana hit her friend's hand and I suddenly felt like telling her to shut the **** up and try not to discourage Ariana!

"Diana Noemi doesn't have to know." Alejandro told her.

"You know you want it." I smiled and she laughed a little "C'mon Bonita, Noemi won't know. You don't tell her, we don't tell her."

She looked at us and we could tell she was already convinced.

"Pinky swear?" She smiled, putting her pinky up.

'The nonsense girls make you do.'

I thought, trying not to role my eyes and so instead, I smirked and nodded.  Pinky swearing.

"Saturday then."

"Saturday."

Later than afternoon when Noemi's friends had left, Donnica and Kloe finally returned from work.

Anthonio and Leandro had been absent for a week for some business they'd gone to take care of.

They were all seated in the living room and the teens waited patiently to hear what their mothers had to tell them.

"Well your grandmother called me some days ago and proposed something." Donnica told her boys.

"Yes? How is she?" They asked in a chorus like they did most of the time.

The twins loved their maternal grandparents just as much as they did Lodovica. Whenever they would go for holidays in Chicago, they always returned to Rome with all sort of new things.

But the last time they'd visited their grandparents was when they were 15.

"She's fine."

"Okay what did she propose?"

"Well..." Lodovica smiled "That once you graduate, you go to Chicago for college. Including you Noemi. You'll ask for a transfer letter so you complete your highschool senior year there."

"Wow that's cool!" They were all excited about the news.

"Yeah..." Kloe took over "...Noemi will be with my father and Alejandro will be in Chicago too. Lorenzo you'll be sent to New York to stay with your mother's aunt."

The smiles on the twins' faces disappeared.

"What?" Lorenzo asked with a frown "Alejandro and I won't be attending the same school?"

"Yes that's how things have been arranged."

"Anyone cared to ask us???" Alejandro asked irritated.

"Hey watch your mouth." Donnica said sternly and they adjusted.

"Mom you know I can't go to a school different from Alejandro's. And now you are talking to two cities apart? Hell no."

"Well that's how things were decided like I said earlier. It's that or you just stay here and finish school."

The twins looked at each other.

"Staying." Lorenzo stated dryly before standing and leaving the room.

"You already know my answer Mama." Alejandro added before leaving too.

Noemi that had watched the while scene just sat there awkwardly.

"Uh I wanna leave..." She cleared her throat.

"You can go honey." Kloe mused and her daughter rushed away.

"That was just as difficult as I'd told you it'd be. You can't just separate them." She told Donnica.

"I know right. That's what I'd told my mother but she said I should tell them first. And you just saw their reaction "

"Call her and tell her that it is either both or nothing. Their decision."

"Yeah. And they sure are determined and as stubborn as the other men of this family. I'll call and let her know."
