Florina sat on the chair and Sebastian and vincenzo were sitting in front of her. The waiter gave them menus and served them a wine.
"You are not drinking, butterfly..."
Sebastian said and Florina suppressed her laugh.
"It wasn't that bad..."
She giggled.
"Yeah, because you don't know how is it feels to get fucking blue balls..."
He rolled his eyes.
"What you want to eat today... Italian or Chinese..."
Vincenzo asked sliding the menu towards her.
Florina took it and went through the menu. She was looking at it for a long time and still wasn't able to make a decision. Sebastian and vincenzo were waiting patiently for her to choose.
She bit her lips and awkwardly looked the men and the menu again.
"Come on, piccolo... It's just a food. What you want to eat?..."
Vincenzo said looking at her confused expressions.
"Can I order a steak... I can't decide between these two..."
She closed the menu with huff.
Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
"You can't choose?... Do you want us to order, you don't have to compromise just because you are confused..."
She looked at him and smiled, nodding at him.
"Okay..."
"Okay, let's order both... Since you can't choose..."
Vincenzo said chuckling at her.
Florina smiled and was about to grab the glass of wine but Vincenzo stopped her.
"You know what happens when you get drunk..."
"Just one glass... Please"
She made a puppy face.
"Just one..."
He said firmly. She nodded, she herself didn't wanted to get drunk and cause troubles.
"Can I ask you something..."
She asked and they both looked at her, nodding at the same time.
"I know that you guys don't like each other... You are enemies but still agreed to stay together because of me... Why?"
Sebastian and vincenzo looked at each other and then to her.
"We have lost and destroyed so many things because of our rivalry, piccolo... Our fights has always ruined things."
Sebastian held her hand and kissed her knuckles.
"We don't want to do the same with you. We don't want to ruin you, when you said those things to us the other day then we realized how wrong we were. We can't destroy you just because of our problems... For you we are ready to solve that..."
Vincenzo held her other hand gently.
"I know its new for you, you are not ready for anything which we have thrown into your way but we want you to give us a chance. Let us show you how much you matter to us."
Florina couldn't understand how to answer. She herself was not sure about anything.
"You don't have to say anything right now, butterfly... We know that we were wrong to force you in this. So, let me fix this... Just give us a chance and time and after that if you don't want this, don't want us then we won't stop you from leaving us. You can leave everything and live your life the way you were living before. But before leaving let us prove ourselves..."
Florina gave him a stiff nod making them smile.
Their food arrived and they started eating in silence.
After the peaceful dinner they head towards the home. Florina sat down on the the bed and quickly took of her heels, her feet were hurting.
"Here, let me see"
Vincenzo sat down beside her and placed her legs on his lap.
Florina looked at him in surprise as he started massaging her feet.
"Vincenzo you don't have to..."
"I want to..."
He answered. Florina leaned back and sighed in satisfaction as he gently massaged her ankles.
'Would they have treated me the same if I would have tried to escape today?... The night wasn't that bad, should I give them a chance... but how can I stay with two men at the same time. Should I listen to anamika and try to use the situation in my favor, may be I can solve all the problems. Okay, let's give it a chance. Not like I can do something else...'
"Piccolo?..."
She was snapped out of her thoughts.
"Hmm?..."
"Go get fresh, he is out..."
Vincenzo said when Sebastian was done with his shower.
Florina nodded and went to the bathroom.
She was feeling light pain in her abdomen and was sure that she has got her periods.
