Greece




She woke up with a satisfied yawn as her eyes fluttered open taking in the contents of the room she'd gotten use to over the weeks. Still somewhat exhausted she closed her eyes again only to feel a flutter of kisses on her shoulder blade. Instantly, her eyes snapped open and she giggled as she turned to face the man in the bed with her, "Good morning," she giggled softly.
She watched as Allegro grinned, "Good morning mio amore."

She smiled at the term of endearment, "Are you busy today?" She asked.
He saw Allegro look thoughtful, "I do have another meeting this morning, but afterwards, I plan to take you out."
Greece raised her eyebrows carefully, "Like a date?"
Allegro smirked, "like a date."
Greece suddenly squealed, "I can't wait."
And she really couldn't, she was so excited to go out with Allegro and spend time with him. Greece was slowly falling in love with the man. In the few weeks she'd known him all she'd ever received from him was affection.

He'd cared for her as she'd been his from the day she was born and it felt nice to be appreciated, to be wanted, to not be in constant fear of whether or not he was going to hit her or whether not she was make it through the night. Greece could feel the tears welling up in her eyes but she forced them down as she looked at Allegro with adoration.
"Mio amore?" His eyebrows suddenly furrowed but she only shook her head and moved forward to kiss him.

The kiss was short and sweet and one filled with all the affection she had for him. When she leaned back she take a moment to study his face and she brushed her fingertips to his cheek, "The meeting you have to attend, will it require...." she trailed off pointing to the guns he had in the room for her protection.
There was worry in her eyes as she awaited his response but he only shook his head, "No, not today."

"So you'll be back for our date in one piece?" She asked.
He chuckled, "Yes I will."
"Good."
Greece chewed her lip before asking her next question, "Which brother is going with you?"
She looked away from Allegro, she knew that he knew that she was still cautious about being around Alejandro as the man hated her so she needed to know if she should stay in the room all day, until he came back.

In truth, Greece had gone to very long lengths to avoid being in the same place as Alejandro without Allegro. She always checked with one of the men before venturing around the property to see if Alejandro had left. She recalled a time a few weeks ago when she'd only heard the sound of his voice in the distance and had made dash for it— running as if her life depended on it. She didn't like avoiding him and she had no idea how to make him warm up to her, she wanted to have a good, or at least pleasant relationship with all of Allegro's brothers but for now that did not seem possible.

"I'm taking Alessando with me."

Okay, well seemed like Greece was staying in the their room for the whole day.
"Why do you ask?" He lifted an eyebrow at her.
She shrugged, getting comfortable again in the bed, "No reason."

~*~

Greece was bored.

Sticking to her plan, she'd stayed in the room for three and half hours already. She'd had one of the maids bring her breakfast up to the room and now she was laying on the bed flipping through channels on the television. She sighed suddenly feeling claustrophobic and making a rash decision she opened the door and walked down the halls.

Over the course of weeks she'd been there she'd grown accustomed to finding her way around the compound and now she knew where everything was. She knew where the gym was, where they kept the weapons, where most of the men slept, in a house on the other end of the compound and where everything was in the large mansion she'd been staying in. All four brothers had their own quarter of the house and their own study but Greece had never ventured into one out of privacy for Allegro.

Walking down the halls Greece was greeted by numerous maids who were working and she smiled politely and bid them good morning. She made her way down the stairs. Seeing as there was no brother in sight she continued to make her way across to the gym. She smiled at the empty space and walked over to one of the punching bags and began sparring, mimicking all the moves Allegro had taught her.

Sweat poured off her forehead as time seemed to fly by and in her efforts to stay concentrated she didn't hear the door open.
"Good morning, sorella." Greece swiveled her heel to see Arturo standing there with a grin to his lips.
"Hello." She smiled back stepping away from the punching bag.
"Arturo." She smirked,

Arturo raised his eyebrows, "How'd you know?"
Greece still had idea how to tell Arturo and Alessando apart, "I asked Allegro who he was taking with him today."
Arturo shook his head, "Don't worry, people who've known us for most of our lives still get us mixed up."
Greece smiled, "Now I hear Allegro has taught you some basic self defense and you've grown particularly attached to shooting but, has he ever mentioned knives," Greece watched as Arturo suddenly pulled out a knife from his back pocket.

Greece raised her eyebrows at him, she knew that each brother had their favorite weapon of the sort. Allegro preferred guns, as he always kept at least two in his pants and she knew Alessando was more of a sniper than close range gun firing and now she realized Arturo preferred knives. She listened as Arturo explained to her the intricacies of a knife and how it was to be held.

She watched as he demonstrated how to hold one and throw it at the board. It hit the bullseye.

She watched wide eyed as he continued, hitting the bullseye each time until he turned to her.
"You want to try?" He asked.
Greece took the knife and aimed, hitting the edge of the board and smiled when he praised her. They stayed there for more than a few hours before she squealed at the time, she needed to get ready for her date!
"Allegro taking you out?" Arturo asked smirking.

She blushed nodding her head, "If he ever mistreats you, just gimme a call. I'll straighten him out for you."
"Thank you." Smiling softly glad he had her back.
She walked towards the exit only to see it opening letting in a pair of grey eyes and she gulped as Alejandro stood in front of her with a blank expression on his face.
"Hello." She managed to squeak out but he just walked past her and Greece sighed, that man was never going to like her.

Greece made her way to her and Allegro's quarter of the house and she opened the door to the room they'd been sharing and smiled when she saw a dress on the bed. Quickly taking a shower and putting on the black dress and fixing her hair Greece exited the room to see Allegro at the bottom of the staircase with a smile on his face.
"Ready?"
Greece giggled as she reached the bottom of the stairs kissing his lips sweetly, "mhm." She answered hooking their arms together.
