Ch.15

Violet's P.O.V.

My jaw dropped as I heard what Peter just said.

Cousin?

Giovanni and Bryson's reactions were the same; they both had a dumbstruck look on their faces. I took a step to the right and looked at Eros and boy was he mad!. His jaw was clenched, fists were balled up and eyes were full of anger. I'm going to admit, Eros looked so intimidating right now.

Something bad is going to happen, I just feel it.

"What are you doing here?" He bit out, anger seeping through his words. Peter seemed unfazed by the danger that Eros's words held and kept smirking.

"What do you think I'm doing? I came here to train princess Violet." Peter replied in a mocking tone. My brows shot up, Peter was in a lot of trouble. Eros looked even angrier, his eyes turned black and all of a sudden, a fist connected with Peter's jaw.

"I may be your cousin, but I am still your prince and soon to be king. You won't talk to me in such a manner." He growled, lowering his hand to the side and Peter spat out blood. I looked at Bryson and Giovanni and was surprised to see that they were staring at the scene in a normal way, as if Eros reacted the way he should and gave Peter what he deserved. Peter glared at Eros rubbing his now sore spot.

"No wonder Uncle sent you here, always fighting with your brother." Peter shook his head with a sly smirk on his face. Eros was about to choke Peter but thankfully Bryson interfered. He stood in front of Eros blocking his way.

"Let it go Eros, you can deal with him later, but not now." Eros's eyes landed on me but they quickly wandered to somewhere else. He fixed his shirt and glared at Peter, running a hand through his hair and finally nodded.

"I wonder how you put up with him." Peter pointed out. "He's a self confessed jerk who thinks that everything revolves around him. Anyways, before you and I start training, I wanna get to know you." He winked "Maybe we can have a something something in the future." He wiggled his eyebrows. I can't believe, after everything that has now happened, Peter was acting so normal. My eyes quickly landed on Eros who was growling lowly.

"Never going to happen."

"Over my dead body."

Came the first and second reply from Eros and Giovanni. Bryson cracked a grin and stared chuckling, Peter had a huge smirk on his face while I stood in my place surprised by the answers the both gave. Giovanni and Eros looked at each other, well more like glared. Eros huffed, turning around and walked away while Giovanni stared at the ground for a minute as if contemplating what to do before shaking his head and walking in the opposite direction.

A few seconds passed silently until Bryson decided to break the ice.

"Wanna go to a café?" He suggested. Both of Peter and I agreed.

"Come on then, I know an awesome café a few miles away." All of us followed Bryson and hopped into his 2012 Ford Explorer XLT, me being seated in the back while the two guys in the front. I wondered what was going on in Eros and Giovanni's eyes, but why did they react in such a way.

"Let me guess, there's a hot waitress there?" Peter said looking at Bryson with a smirk on his face.

"Welcome to the family Bro!"

I covered my eyes with my hand and groaned. Great, as if Bryson wasn't enough, now came Peter.

---

I rolled my eyes as Bryson and Peter drooled over the blonde waitress. Boys will always be boys, perverts.

"I'm going to ask her on a date." Peter stated wickedly as a smile played on his face. Bryson didn't seem to hear anything since he was still looking at the waitress who I guess was serving table number five. I slapped Bryson on the chest making him wake up from his little fantasy.

"What was that for?" He scowled rubbing his chest lightly. I rolled my eyes but didn't bother answering him.

"Anyways, you seem to have two lovers princess." Peter grinned from ear to ear as he put his chin on his palm.

"No I don't." I muttered looking away.

"Violet, did you notice how Eros went in a protective mode all over you when he saw me?" Peter proclaimed.

"Or when both Giovanni glared at Eros when his hand was on your back." Bryson added. I sat in deliberation. Peter and Bryson noticed my discomfort with the subject and started talking about cars. I tapped my fingers on the table and looked at my lap thinking of what both of them just said. Eros would never look at me in such a way but I wasn't sure about Giovanni.

But what if he thinks of you like that? A voice murmured in my head.

I closed my eyes trying to clear everything that was going on in my head.

After an hour, all of us decided to leave, and in a few minutes, we were back at our dorm. The car ride was silent; no one talked just listened to classical music. Once we reachedto the school, Peter went to his dorm (he explained that my uncle gave him a private dorm in the other side of the academy). When we entered our dorm, Bryson sat in the living room with Remus and Giovanni, while I took went to my bed room and take a nice long slumber.

---

"Tell me about yourselves." I said.

Right now, all of us were sitting around the kitchen table. I was actually surprised when Peter joined us, turns out Bryson invited him. At first, Eros wasn't happy but I think he changed his mind since he was joking around with Peter.

All the guys turned their attention to me and silence hung in the air.

"Why are you asking us that?" Remus asked leaning forward.

"Because I've been here with you guys for a while and know nothing about you." I shrugged replying with ease.

"Well, I'll start." Giovanni stated. "My full name is Giovanni Bertoldo De Luca. Bertoldo mean a bright ruler, that's why my mom chose it. I'm from Italian origins. My favorite color is gold and I have a sister that annoys the hell out of me."

I wanted to say 'duh' for his last statement but kept my mouth shut.

"Oh and Claudia says hi. She told me to tell you that she's sorry for not telling you that she's going to the Angel Kingdom." He added making me raise an eyebrow, I'm going to make sure to give her a piece of my mind when she comes back.

Now it was Remus's turn.

"Um, my name is Remus Nikolaou, no middle name, thank God! I don't even wanna think what my mom would have chosen if my dad told her not to pick a middle name. Anyways, I'm Greek, my favorite color is red. I play the guitar, love to sing and play basketball. That's all." He gave me a grin making me laugh; he looked so nerdy when he did that.

Bryson smirked and started talking, oh dear!

"Well I'm American, duh! I sounded so girly right now.." He scowled. "Im sexy and I know it." He sent me a wink and I rolled my eyes. "My little sister who's ten is called Jane. My brother John is fifteen, don't even ask about the names, I don't even know why my parents name them Jane and John." He shook his head. "It's like Jack and Jill, well that what I call them." He smirked.

Peter's turn came next.

"Well I'm sexier than Bryson and always will be. Girls swoon when they see me. Everyone wants to meet me. I love boxing and rapping."

"I noticed." I said dryly making the guys chuckle. Finally, it was Eros's turn.

"I play the piano, have an addiction to classic and old music and want to study law when I grow up even if I'm going to be king." That caught my attention, he loves law?

"Why law?"

"For curtain reasons." He replied not making eye contact. That was my sign to stay silent. Everyone started talking to each other about cars and wrestling while Eros stayed silent.

"Hey Violet, when are you going to be training with your Fire trainer?" Bryson asked, mouth full of food.

"First, swallow then talk." I snapped disgusted.

"Second, today I'm going to go training." I answered.

Eros stood up and left the kitchen. I winced when I heard the slam of the front door, gees, why the sudden change in attitude?

"What's up with him?" Peter asked

"No idea" I answered shaking my head.

---

An hour passed and I thought that it was the best time to go to the field where I'll be meeting my fire trainer. I left the dorm walking down the hallways but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard a girl's giggle.

"How about we go to my room Prince Eros." The girl giggled making my eyes go wide.

Eros? I took a step forward and saw a girl practically rubbing herself on Eros who was smirking.

"Not now, Danielle, I've got something to do. Maybe later tonight?"

The girl giggled then nodded.

"Sure." She purred playing with her bright brown hair. Her figure screamed slut.

I crossed my arms and glared at Eros. I coughed making them both looking at me, the girl with a smirk on her face and a wide-eyed Eros. The girl let go of Eros, stepped to the side, and walked away, not before waving.

I started walking, not giving Eros a second glance.

"And where do you think you're going?" His deep, sexy voice was heard.

"Training." I replied still walking. I heard him chuckle and mutter something that sounded like 'if you only know who your trainer is' but aid him no mind. Why did he say that? Does he know who my trainer is?

But the biggest question was, why did I react like that when I saw the girl all over him? Was I jealous? No, I would never get jealous over that. I shook my head and put my hands in my pockets. I couldn't help but remember those silver eyes and one million dollar smile. I stopped dead in my tracks.

I couldn't be falling for Eros ... could I ?
