CHAPTER 80

RosaI have no idea how I got myself into these situations. It happened regularly, though no two were ever the same. I’d dreamed about Gabriel Caruso since I was a freshman. My fantasies were vivid images of him and me doing things that could never happen because he had a fiancée. I’d changed all his classes which he figured out on his own. I shouldn’t be surprised. A rocket scientist wasn’t required to follow the trail I left. Now I had to come up with an explanation that sounded legit.He stayed quiet while I thought about a good answer.“Tell me again why you changed my classes.”Okay, so he wasn’t staying quiet about it. I still didn’t have an explanation that would keep him from knowing the truth.“The truth is, I, um, you needed a break.”“You tried that one.”He jerked slightly and I knew something hurt. Hell, it all hurt; it had to. His face was a mess of swelling and bruises.“I felt like torturing myself,” I finally said. “Don’t say it’s a lie because it’s the absolute truth

CHAPTER 81

GabrielI woke up cold and achy, Rosa no longer beside me. She was gathering items into her backpack. The sun wasn’t up.“Why the rush?” I asked.“Does anyone know where you are?”“Fuck.” Brando would be pissed and I didn’t really give a damn right now.“I bet they’re going crazy. When will they report that you’re missing?”“Never.”“What? Why?”“The last thing they would do is go to staff. At Rochester, they’re like the cops. My crew has already started looking for me, that I can guarantee.”“Where will they look?”“Don’t worry, they won’t look up here.”She tried to hold back her exasperation, but I could hear it in her voice even if I didn’t understand why it was there.“Will they go to Isabella?”Shit. I tried to get up and everything hurt.“Help me stand,” I told her.“I’m not in my dorm and you aren’t in yours. We are both missing. At least check your phone.”My hands went to my pockets and I couldn’t find it.“It fell during the fight, had to.”“You mean the ass kicking because

CHAPTER 82

RosaRochester could be a dangerous place as Gabriel getting his ass kicked proved. I was smart and traveled in the shadows when I came out at night. Maybe it was this time of the morning and the utter quiet that gave me the creeps. The academy had once been a church and there were stories of ghosts and other things that went bump in the night. I’d seen none of it and didn’t have time for an overactive imagination.The phone was in the grass on its side. I scooped it up and turned to hustle back to the library.Brando blocked my way.I didn’t know him. He was huge and he always had Gabriel’s back. The unpleasant expression on his face told me this wouldn’t be fun.“What are you doing?” he asked.My brain went into scramble mode. I tucked the phone under my shirt and tried to make the movement appear natural.“Sneaking back from a good time,” I said cheerily. “What are you doing?”He took a step closer and placed his hand out.“Turn over Gabriel’s fucking phone. Where is he?”“Uh—”He

CHAPTER 83

RosaThe shower felt heavenly. Thoughts of Gabriel filled my head and I leaned back against the tile and let the water wash over me. My hair was in a towel because I wouldn’t have time to dry it. I didn’t have time to soak up the hot water either, but I needed to think.Gabriel was not who I thought he was and it was freaking me out.Yes, he was an asshole, a womanizer, and a thug. Or so I thought. The problem was, he hadn’t spoken badly of Isabella. It had me thinking twice about my perceptions. Gabriel didn’t want to marry her and he’d also defended her. That surprised me the most. I’d heard their arguments along with most of Rochester’s students. They were loud and Isabella was volatile. She was known to throw things and considered entertainment for her deafening screams about her rotten fiancé and his latest sexcapades.A wounded Gabriel was something I never needed to see. It did something to my heart and that was not good. I’d wanted him for so long and dreamed of being with him

CHAPTER 84

Gabriel“How bad is it?” Brando asked after Rosa left.“Hurts,” I groaned and closed my eyes, leaning back slightly to help take the pressure from my ribs.“Playing it up?” he teased.I was too tired to lip him back and simply displayed my middle finger. He didn’t care.“You going to pussy it up here or do you want help to the dorm?”“After the bell I’ll make it back with a smaller audience, thank you.”Brando understood this wasn’t just for the ladies. It was a good time to come for our crew. Armando would be waiting for the news of the beatdown to break. Stopping this news flash was impossible, but I’d be damned if I played into his hands and made it easy on him.We waited fifteen minutes after the class bell rang.“Careful of the ribs,” I told him with a grimace. “They took a lot of heat and I don’t care if I sound like a pussy. Rosa’s not here so I can.”“That’s the Gabe we know and love. Come on, you big oaf.”The only way I could make it was with my arm over his shoulders and mo

CHAPTER 85

RosaThe dorm was empty. The whore door was still in place so I assumed she hadn’t returned. I pulled out my laptop and got comfortable on the couch. I would not hide in my room. I entered the school’s website and went into my profile to download the assignments I’d missed. Like a sucker, I made a copy for Gabriel. He needed help in school. Like the other guys, he would never ask the faculty. Sending him his school assignments was the least I could do and it gave me a reason to contact him.I was a glutton for punishment. Every student had a campus email account and I sent it to his which I was sure he never checked. Thus, the text I sent seconds later.“Homework and missed assignments in email and no, I won’t change your grades.”“I’m in pain. I need help,” was his reply a few seconds later.“Where are you?” I asked, panicking.“In my bed. Help!”The ass.“You do not need help; you need a lobotomy.”“Big words no good.”He was a fool and why couldn’t he be my fiancé?I didn’t reply

CHAPTER 86

Gabriel I returned to school on Monday.I didn’t care how I looked. I couldn’t stay cooped up in the dorm for another day. My bullshit excuse to the office would require a visit by medical if I stayed out of class longer and that I would avoid. My ribs continued to hurt but not as bad as they had. The pain was more centered to the injury and not exploding throughout my body. I’d live.The cut below my eye was deep and would take some time to heal. The butterfly bandage didn’t do much considering it should have been applied immediately. Thankfully beauty contests weren’t my thing.Getting dressed was the hardest. I had a few ties in my closet that were pre-tied so if I was in a rush, I didn’t need to deal with the damn things. I was very good at being late to school and needing them. Today was one of those days.I hadn’t spoken to or texted Rosa since Friday. Why that bothered me I didn’t know but it did. Armando was running his mouth in school and I wouldn’t be able to hold Brando ba

CHAPTER 87

RosaI wasn’t stupid. I knew exactly what I was doing. Flirting with Gabriel was dangerous and I was in way over my head. He also knew I wanted him. How could he not? I practically drooled when he was around. This was dangerous and went against every reason I’d stayed away from him the past two years. He would still marry Isabella and I would be nothing more than a notch on his bedpost.Damn, I wanted him. Gabriel would break my heart. That was a given because I would cry his entire wedding day. Why didn’t I pick someone unattached to fall in love with? My hormones were also in overdrive. He turned his head and I clenched my thighs. The small sexy grin appeared on his lips and my nipples tingled. I’d tossed and turned in my bed all night and that was after I desperately used my fingers to take the edge off.My fingers were no longer doing the trick. I couldn’t help looking at Gabriel’s lips and thinking about what they would feel like, there.In fourth period we had a test. I couldn’t

CHAPTER 88

RosaAnd really, did I need a smart guy? Gabriel wasn’t dumb; he just wasn’t school smart. My sister would never understand street smarts because she took our way of life for granted. Since we’d become part of the Laterza family, our circumstances had improved substantially. I remembered when our father was in prison and it had been very hard on my mother.It was almost like my sister didn’t grasp the life we were born into. She also wasn’t dumb. She saw it through rose-colored lenses where I saw it with non-tinted Rosa lenses. Gabriel was exactly who he needed to be for the life in front of him and I resented my sister for thinking otherwise.“Having a fiancée is not his fault,” she rebuked.“Fault has nothing to do with it.”“I don’t understand why it bothers you,” she said. “I’ve hooked up with plenty of guys and have no plans to marry them. It’s your senior year of high school. If you don’t get Gabriel Caruso out of your head now, you’ll be miserable after graduation. Enough is en

CHAPTER 89

GabrielI left Rosa in the bathroom and went to speak with Brando to find out what the fuck happened. Blood pumped through my brain so loudly I could hear it. The phrase seeing red was accurate. I was there.The guys were quietly drinking beer and talking about Armando. They were furious but then so was I.“She okay?” Brando asked after I left the room.“You tell me!” I exploded and swiped a bunch of shit off the coffee table, sending it crashing to the floor. “What the fuck happened?” My anger was off the rails and I knew it.The guys stayed seated and simply watched me.I took a breath. “Rosa is in the shower. I’m losing my fucking shit and need to know what happened.”I also needed my hands around Armando’s fucking throat. I wanted him covered in blood and for his life to be nonexistent.“We’ve been patrolling like you asked,” Brando said carefully, finally understanding I was not in a good place.He glanced at the guys before looking back at me.“I keep a close watch between Isabe
