Chapter 4: Olives

"Not again!"

Currently I was lying on the cool hard ground as I managed to trip over my shoelaces. You guys should get to know another of my stupid qualities. I tend to be clumsy. A lot. It's like we are bffs.

Today I was definitely in a bad mood so a lot of nasty profanities were uttered by me as I picked myself up.

I know it's my fault but Jules can be a prick sometimes. Seriously throwing the trash can contents over George. A) That's childish B) She has a problem with me not them so why take out her anger on them?

I went through my fridge to see if I had anything to eat. Absolutely nothing at all- except for some wine (not me for my mom, I have never drank alcohol in my life),some protein bars and lastly expired sauces and spices.

My mom is an excellent cook so the little amount of time she gets to stay at the house she goes all frenzy with food.

I remember last thanksgiving she cooked food which was enough for six people although it was just two of us. At last we decided to give away the food to homeless people and it was the best thing ever. You should have seen the look on their faces when they devoured the food. And let me tell you, my mom cooks the best food ever. Her killer lasagnas will give Italian chefs a run for their money.

I could hear the groaning sounds my stomach was making. The only thing I had for breakfast was an apple so I decided to order a pizza. Yeah I am too predictable.

I long press the button three and the call immediately went to the pizzeria. Yeah I have the pizza place on speed dial.

"Hello its Carlo's pizzeria. How may I helped you?" The person on the other side of the call said in a sultry voice. Oh no- fuck!

I know this voice. Its Leo Arsen's!

I stood dead in on the spot. I can't order from here. He can't come to my house.

"Hello? Who's this?"

Silence

"Hello-"

"The number you are trying to reach is busy at the moment", I said in my best robotic voice. "Please try again later"

With that I hung up. Phew that was close.

I decided to get ready and head to Carlos. I know he's going to be there but I had no choice. After tasting Carlo's Pizza I am not a big fan of other pizza chains like Pizza Hut and Domino's. My plan was to order my pizza as takeout and get the hell out of there as soon as possible. I don't want Leo to step his foot in my house ever again.

Five minutes later I was parking my blue ford in front of Carlos. It was a small place with a neon sign saying Carlo's Pizzeria hanging over the top, simple and quaint. I rushed inside and took a seat on one of the wooden stools adjoined with those wooden tables with red and white checkered table cloth.

A very good looking guy with jet black hair came to take my order. He was wearing one of those red t-shirt that Leo was wearing at my house and jeans. I have to admit he's hot and seems familiar as if I know him somewhere.

He smiled at me and took my order. He wasn't the best at it as I had to repeat it twice although he was very much interested in flirting with me. Finally after he was done, he retreated back to the kitchen. Thank God I will have less distractions now. I decided to bring my math homework with me so that I can keep myself occupied while I waited for my order.

"Your drink", the good-looking guy placed a tall sweaty glass from what I assume orange juice in front of me.

" I didn't order any drinks".

"It's on the house. For beautiful girls like you", he smirked.

"JOSH WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT GIVING OUT FREE DRINKS TO GIRLS! IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN I WILL LET THE SHERIFF KNOW ABOUT YOUR ACT", someone with thick Italian accent bellowed from behind. Josh turned around and I could finally see a man. He was a short, meaty man with mustache and a mop of dark hair on his round head. His nametag read "Carlo". Yup he's the owner and Josh is definitely busted. Wait what does the sheriff have to do with this?

"Calm down Uncle Carlo. It's just a drink. Not like he's handing out his number to them", someone quipped. I looked around to see yet another hottie. He had the greyest pair of eyes with short brown hair with specks of blonde in it. He was also wearing the signature red tee. I should come here more often.

"LIKE YOU DID THE LAST TIME!" Carlo hollered at hottie number two. Unlike Josh he was wearing his name tag. It read Derek. "To a mother of two kids!" I silently laughed.

"Hey in my defense I didn't know she was a mother. But definitely a MILF- Mother I would like to-"

"Derek mind your language!" Carlo scolded him. His face red with anger. "Now get back to work", he instructed. Derek dispersed of to the counter while Josh stayed.

"I am Josh by the way. Nice to meet you", Josh held his hand out towards me smirking. "JOSH GET BACK TO WORK- RIGHT NOW!" Carlo bellowed again his face red with anger. Poor Carlo- they were definitely giving him a hard time.

"I am so sorry. These boys can be unbearable sometimes. I apologize for their insolent behavior", Carlo said solemnly.

"It's alright", I replied giving him a reassuring smile.

"No it's not. In fact this drink is actually on the house", Carlo said.

"Geez Carlo, aren't you too old to be flirting with high school girls?" Josh whispered loud enough for me to hear. Carlo's cheeks were the color of Josh's T-shirt. I couldn't guess whether he was embarrassed or fuming with anger or both.

"JOSH! YOU ARE IN TROUBLE YOUNG MAN!"

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a very familiar voice. "Josh get ready to eat some pie!" Everything happened in slow motion. I turned around to see Leo holding a pie and before I knew it he threw the pie towards him. Josh ducked. Carlo gasped. And the pie landed straight on my face as I was just behind Josh.

The pie trailed down my face and landed on my lap. I can tell it was Apple pie. I was astounded, infuriated, enraged and mostly embarrassed.

Everyone was gaping at me, waiting for a reaction out of me. Even Derek stopped cleaning. The pie was all over me. My hair, my clothes and even on my jeans. My hair had a pieces of crust stuck to it. Eww.

I removed the pie dish and its leftover contents, placing it on the table. I got up and swiped all the apples and crumble bits of me. It was disgusting. As much as you like apple pie you don't want it all over your face . I approached Leo and the whole time everyone was silent watching my every move.

He looked sorry, worry etched on his brow. My expression was indecipherable but inside I was fuming. "Look princess I can explain. It wasn't aimed-"

Before he could finish his sentence, my fist landed on Leo's flawless face and I swear I heard the crunching sound of nose breaking.

I must have put all my anger and frustrations of the day in the punch because he took a few steps back from the impact clutching his nose in pain. The next thing I know a drop of blood trailed down his lips. Shit I didn't know I have that much of strength.

"Fuck I think you broke my nose!" he whimpered in pain.

Hmm... two other bad boys. What do you think of Josh and Derek?
