The Twin Brothers

She fed herself with the food that those two bought. She looked at those twins who discuss something. They said she wouldn’t go to work today which at first she insisted but the tone of dominance made her shut up. They bought a lot of sweets to make her stay. Who will reject food? She took a bite of her donut while staring at them.

“The shipment continues?” Enzo asked.

“Yes. There’s confusion between my shipment and the others. That’s what I got informed.” Leo sighed and leaned his back on the chair.

“That’s great.” He nodded. He glanced at the girl who eats. “Have you found any record about her?”

“About that…” Leo sighed and took out a file. He opened it and there was her profile. “It’s weird she does not have a full name. Not even her birth certificate shows it.”

Enzo frowned and took a look. He’s right. It only writes Darliana. She was at an orphanage before being adopted by Jerry’s family. But even if she was at an orphanage, there must be a last name but she doesn’t have one.

“Hmm. Maybe we should meet her foster parents.” He suggested.

“Not yet. It’s too fast. We have to take time and know her first.” Leo closed her file and put it aside.

Someone walked towards them. Liana stood there, fiddling with her sweater. She looked down and her cheeks were red. The two guys slightly smiled at her.

“What’s wrong, little one?” Leo asked.

“W–Where’s… m–my b–bag?” She timidly asked.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Leo took it from his desk and hands it over. “Here.”

“T–Thank… y-y-you.” She nodded.

“Baby, can we ask something?” Enzo spoke.

Liana looked at him and hesitated to nod. She didn’t realize she was clutching her backpack too tight. Enzo let out a sigh as he noticed the nervousness in her eyes and pulled her around the desk. Now, she’s between the two guys.

“Who are your parents?” He asked.

She was taken aback by the sudden question. It was not that she was sensitive to the question, she was just shocked. No one knows who were her parents. They just told her she is found and that’s all. Knowing nothing, she didn’t judge her parents. That’s why it is not sensitive to her.

“I–I was adopted–adopted.” She answered.

“What’s your last name?” He asks again. Liana just shrugged her shoulder. “So you do really doesn’t have a last name. You really don’t know your real parents?”

“No.”

“Don’t you curious about it, little one?” Leo asked, tucking her hair behind her ears.

“Mm… Uhh… S–S–Sometimes…” She picked her fingers. Leo who saw hates it because it will make her skin red and hurt her. He holds her hand, stopping her from doing it.

“Do you want us to help you?” He asked.

Her doe eyes stared at him and his twin. Does she? Does she want to know who her parent is? Well, she is already 19 years old. Who knows if her parents were still alive or not? Even if it concerns her about this, she has to know. And she can’t do it by herself

“A-Are you-you s–sure? I–Isn’t it… uhh… b–bothered y–you?” Liana couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“Nothing that you do bothers us. Honestly, we need to know your background before making you ours.” Enzo firmly said.

The word ‘ours’ rang in her ears. She wanted to ask that thing but maybe it is not the right time. Maybe they wanted to be her friend since she doesn’t have one except for Ivan and Jessica. Also, Daisy and Mrs. Willy.

“We’re sorry for asking about your personal stuff.” He said, brushing her hair.

“I–It’s f–fine.”

“Are you still hungry, little one?” Leo changes the topic. She shakes her head slowly. His eyes landed on her smartwatch. “Little one, can I know what is this?” He asks.

“T–This is… m–m-my heart… t-t-t-tracker.” She showed it to him.

“Mhmm.” Leo held her wrists, examining the watch. Her heart rate seems normal. Is this what Enzo means by her having a panic attack? “Look like we have to check this stuff every day.” He spoke more to Enzo.

“I know. Did you bring your inhaler, baby?” Enzo asked.

“I–I did.” She nodded.

“Good girl.” He praised.

Whenever the praise came from those two, it made her happy and got butterflies in her stomach. She liked it when being praised and she doesn’t know why these two affected her. If Ivan saw this, he will freak out.

The door opened and revealed Felix. He bowed before talking. “Dude, Matthias wanted to meet both of you. He said he has something important to discuss.”

The two guys groaned in laziness. While the girl between them looked at them in confusion. But, what she knew was, she was not important here so she decided to go home. She slowly escaped those two only to be held by Enzo.

“Where are you going?” His eyes hardened. It made Liana scared a little bit.

“H–Home?”

“You coming with us, little baby,” Enzo said before picking her up on his hip like a baby. He chuckled when he heard a small yelp from her. “Have we ever mentioned you stuck with us?” They walked out of the office followed by Leo.

“W–What?” She frowned.

“You are stuck with us, little one. Either you like it or not.” Leo added, pushing the elevator button.

“As if you guys will ever let her go,” Felix murmured.

Liana looked at them. “Does… D–Does that… uhh… m–m-mean we’re… f–friend?” She asked with sparkling eyes on her. Who would say no to those eyes? It can bring a million guys kneeling in front of her.

Felix who heard it only bursts into laughter. He clutched his stomach, laughing till he was on his knees. It did not help lighten the mood but it made Liana anxious. Is it wrong? Didn’t they want to be her friends? It will be embarrassing if they didn’t want it. Tears formed in her eyes and tightened her grip on Enzo’s shirt.

“F–Friend? Oh my gosh!!” Felix was still laughing Suddenly. he yelled in pain. “OW OW OW!! I’M SORRY, LEO!!!” He tapped Leo’s hand as he twisted his hand. He let go of the poor guy who pouting.

“Yes. We’re friends, little one.” He softly spoke, caressing her cheeks. She gasped and looked at Enzo for confirmation, but she only received a nod from him.

No one can describe how happy she is. She couldn’t believe she has two friends and even better, they are twins!! Now, she got someone other than Ivan and Jessica with her. There are a lot of things she wants to try with her new friend. Like nail polish, throwing a birthday party, or watching Disney movies together.

Giggles escaped her lips when thought of two giants watching Disney.

“What so funny, baby?” Enzo asks with a smirk, waiting for Leo opens the door. She didn’t realize they were already in front of the car.

“N–Nothing, s–scary guy.” She looks down.

“Scary guy? Am I scary?” He arches his eyebrows and put the girls down. She bites her lips and nods. “Hmm. You don’t know how scary I am, little baby.” He bends to reach her height. “… when I have full right on you.”

Liana didn’t understand what that mean. She frowned and tilted her head, earning chuckles from him. He muttered ‘cute’ and stood straight before pushing her gently into the car.

“Peanut, be careful with those two horny guys,” Adam said from the driver’s seat. Besides him, Felix was playing with his phone. Then, he earned a smack on his head. “Ow!! What was that for!?”

“Drive the fucking car.” Enzo rolled his eyes.

He complained under his breath about telling Enzo he was not a driver and starts driving. “Why not Darry drive?” He finally asked.

“Darry has something else to do. Stop complaining.” Enzo snapped.

Liana looked at Leo. He took off his blazer leaving him in white button tops. He seemed to like having the same pattern tattoos on his neck as Enzo. Just a little bit different. Leo felt someone watching so he turns his head only to see his little one staring at him.

“What’s wrong, little one?” He asked, crossing his legs.

“I–Is that… h–hurt?” She pointed at the tattoos.

“Depends.” He answered.

She noticed Leonardo is not a talkative person. He talks in long sentences when he needs to. Lorenzo is not talkative also but compare to Leo, he spoke a lot too.

“I–It p–p–pretty.”

Leo slightly smiled and stroke her hair. “Thank you, little one.” Earning a compliment from her is different. That was what he learned that day.
