Natasha's pov:
I brush it off and look outside the window, by the time I know it, Vincent had pulled up into a white building in the middle of nowhere. 'This was going to be just great' I thought to myself.
It was a modern style building. It had pillars of linen wood and numerous greenery scattered around the exterior. Vincent being the gentleman he is, opens my car door for me before I could. It was quite kind of him to open it for me. I know that I wasn't the nicest to him at the start, but I really wanted to make it up to him by coming here.
Even though what Vincent and the rest of my brothers did wont be forgiven, I didn't want to make his or my life any harder than it already was. I also didn't want to be a burden to their already busy lives. They take pride in their work, and so do I.
We walk into the building and Vincent heads straight to the receptionist. He tells me to sit down in own of the many waiting area seats. I sit down and pull out my phone whilst Vincent talks with the receptionist. He even began to smile at her? Hmm..
She was a gorgeous woman.
She had a fluffy, neat, black, afro with bright yellow, abstract earrings. She wore a stunning vibrant orange and lemon yellow blouse which complemented her earrings perfectly. She had jaw-dropping nails, which were also coordinated with her outfit. I aspire to be a fashion icon like her one day. On the other hand, the waiting chair was not so beautiful as I had imagined. It was made up of cheap, hard, blue plastic, not to mention that it was beyond uncomfortable to sit on.
I immediately open my snapchat app to text Flynn and Seb.
Nat: Morning losers! :) Have any updates for the new warehouse?
Seb: Good morning princess ;) You can meet up with Flynn on Sunday to finalise the construction plans.
Flynn: Mornin! Yea I'll text you the information later. Do you want to hangout today?
Nat: I wish but I have a stupid nutrition appointment now. But I think I can, probably later if that suits you?
Flynn: Of course, I'll give you a call so I can pick you up mk?
Nat: Yay! I'm so excited thank you Flynn ;)
Seb: Heyyy, I'm feeling a bit left out over here >:(
Nat: Well you won't come over here until February, that isn't my fault!
Seb: Says the girl who went MIA and ditched her mafia and family.
Flynn: Woah, woah, woah, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
Nat: Ain't that right! HAHAHA! Good one Flynn!
Seb: Hey! I want to come but I just have to finish all the paperwork that YOU left.
Flynn: Someones out for blood this morning..
Nat: True that! HAHA!
Nat: Don't worry Seb, you'll be here in no time! :)
Seb: That doesn't excuse the fact that I will be spending time without you guys. :(
Flynn: AWHH! Does someone care about us? What a softy! HAHA!
Nat: I think that it's cute when you miss us, haha! ;)
Seb: See? Atleast Tash has some respect and decency, unlike you Flynn >:(
Flynn: Did I touch a nerve? haha.
Seb: I'll break your new PS5 just for being an ass!
Nat: WAIT WHAT? FLYNN? YOU HAVE A NEW PS5?
Flynn : I do, until Seb decides to break it >;(
Nat: Cmon Seb! If you don't break it then.. it means that when we all go back to England, we could play :)
Seb: Fine! I won't.. for now ;)
Flynn: Okay Mr.Workaholic ;)
Seb: FLYNN I SWEAR TO GOD-
Nat: You two fight like little boys. Stop teasing each other! It's so childish. ;)
Flynn: Pfttt! You're one to talk..
Nat: What is that supposed to mean huh? ;)
Seb: It means that, you can't really say much princess.
Nat: I can too! I'm not that childish ... right?
Flynn: Remember when you almost punched a girl to death because she asked me out! HAHAHAHA! :D
Seb: Someone was a tad bit overprotective, no? HAHAHA! :)
Nat: Hey! You guys would've done the same if a lad asked me out! That's not fair. >:(
Flynn: Fair enough, you have us there.
Seb: She does have a point..
Nat: And.. I win again. I stand my ground :)
Seb: You are so obsessed with winning an argument m'lady.
Nat: That's the fun in it ;)
Nat: Do you have a problem loser? :)
Seb: Not at all ma'am. ;)
Nat: HAHAHA! Not the Western coming out of you.
Flynn: The good Western, not the bad one.. right?
Nat: Of course! I know that you guys aren't like him. Don't stress over it.
Seb: Whatever you say princess.
Flynn: Alrighty then gorgeous!
Seb: We have to go on a conference call for the warehouse now Tash.
Seb: Call us later mk?
Nat: Will do! See you guys ;)
Seb: Bye princess peach!
Flynn: Bye sugar ;)
I was just smiling at my phone whilst reading the group chat when out of nowhere, I feel a heavy breathing near my right shoulder. I hold my thoughts and slowly yet surely, tilt my head to see what creature was breathing down my neck. It was Vincent. I'm pretty sure that he was reading our text messages. What the actual fuck mate.
Shit.
I wonder how long he had been standing there, he couldn't have seen the texts about the mafia, right? RIGHT? I was going to be in deep shit. Maybe I would even have to kill him? He's so stupid, if he didn't look then he would be alive. This bitch was the end of me.. I begin inhaling and exhaling more and more than before.
I couldn't believe my eyes. Vincent sensed my discomfort and said "I just came to tell you that we can start now, I was only curious that you were smiling at a glowing screen." I roll my eyes at his statement. I instantly ask him "How long were you watching huh?" with a pissed off face. "Only just now, possibly a 3 or 4 seconds, don't worry Nat." He reveals peacefully.
Who did my eldest brother think he was?
That still doesn't give him the rights to peep over my shoulder and to invade my personal privacy. I get up and follow his tall, muscular figure. He then nods to the receptionist as we pass her desk and she gives him a wink back. OOOOHH! I smell love in the air when I see it. She was fairly pretty too. I knew that they would make a cute couple already. I was even imagining their wedding. As we were walking I gently tap Vincent's big arm to get his attention, this man needed to learn his manners.
That didn't work.
I tapped harder until I finally gained his attention, he turns 90 degrees anti-clockwise to face me and stops moving. He's definitely a robot in disguise, probably some AI bot-machine, if I've ever seen one. I gesture for him to lower his posture and I stand on my tippy-toes. I slowly begin to whisper into his ear "Curiosity kills the cat, you know?" I add a slight smirk towards the end of my quote. This was a warning to him for snooping around my business.
He nods back calmly and continues walking in the same direction as before without a change in his emotion.
Does he even show any emotion?
Why didn't he apologise? It was the least he could've done given the certain circumstances. Not to mention it was quite rude of him not to. While my mind was criticising Vincent's recent behaviour, I follow him into a spacious, hospitable-looking room. There was two chairs in front of a white desk with an office-style chair behind it. I assumed that it probably belonged to my new nutritionist.
My eyes wander around the room until they meet a large figure. There I see a tall man. He looked around his early 50s and his light ginger hair was slowly yet surely, approaching a hue of grey. He had bright hazel eyes and many, MANY wrinkles on his forehead.
He smiled at me and Vincent, we obviously returned the gesture and sit down in the nearby modern chairs. Vincent and my new nutritionist exchange a handshake and they both sit right back down.
He took out a clipboard with a paper chart attached onto it. He sat down in the chair opposite us and scooted it a bit closer. He cleared his throat loudly and stated "Good morning Mr and Miss Morales. Am I correct to assume that you have booked in a full-body check up appointment with me today?" I look up at Vincent purely with confusion. He had to have gotten it wrong..
Why did the nutritionist say full-body check up when it was only meant to be a nutrition exam?
Did Vincent lie to me? Why would he do that? Why would he betray my trust like that? He then responds to the nutritionist "Yes Dr.Gibson, a full-body examination for Natasha Morales." He says and directs his gaze to meet my eyes. I hate how I share a last name with that man, it infuriated me. Vincent seemed so calm and collected whilst I on the other hand, was a complete emotional wreck. Dr.Gibson sensed the tension within the air and got up to prepare everything he needed for the examination.
I thought that I could trust Vincent..
I'm pretty sure that Vincent sensed my confusion and uncomfortableness and he said "Nat, I should've told you earlier.. but I knew you wouldn't agree to come. It will be over and done with before you know it sweetheart." He even added a small smile, I've never seen him smile that big before but I think he did that just to reassure me. But how dare he have the nerve to call me SWEETHEART? Especially after what he just pulled off.
It wasn't going to change the fact that he had just LIED to me, straight to my damn face.
The complete nerve of some people in this so called 'family' was mind boggling. It was outrageous and needed to be fixed!
I nod nonchalantly and I just so happen to forget the first rule of the household. Even though, I wasn't in the mood to speak to the man that had lied to my face, MULTIPLE TIMES, I had to. "Nat use your words." He orders me coldly. I put on my resting bitch face and say "Mk whatever."
He frowns even more than before, and whisper-yells "I don't want to scold you here, but DON'T use that tone or attitude with me young lady. It's purely disrespectful and rude, I don't want to hear it ever again."
After hearing this, all I could do was scoff at his attempt to 'parent me'.
H was already practically shouting at me and why should he dictate what tone I should speak in? That should be completely up to me and my decision, not his.
Dr.Gibson finishes his preparations and comes to join us yet again. "Are you ready to begin Miss Morales?" This startled me as I didn't expect him to speak to me all of a sudden. "Uh yea sure, it's Miss Clark by the way." I corrected Dr.Gibson respectfully.
I give Vincent a 'don't fuck with me' look. I don't need to share a last name with him since I'm not considered family to him anyways. To me, family doesn't invade your personal privacy, family doesn't degrade you, and most importantly.. family trusts one another. But to Vincent, I guess that this is not the case.
I needed to make it clear to Vincent that he wasn't family until he behaved like a family member, and that started now.
Dr.Gibson asked me about my eating habits and I responded honestly with "I often have a small appetite. I usually have small portions and if I don't, I unwilling vomit sometimes." He nods and writes down some things onto his clipboard. "Miss Clark, I believe to think that you may have acquired an eating disorder." He announced in tranquil.
I knew that I was bad at eating but AN ED? I was in pure shock and disbelief.
Every now and then I could acknowledge Vincent's random worried glares at me.
"Don't worry, we will do a few tests to conclude my theory and we will prescribe you medication to help treat it." Dr.Gibson assures me calmly. "Thank you." Was all I could murmur out.
"We need to adjust your current diet to 50% carbohydrates, 25% protein and 25% for fat, oils and dairy." He states.
It seems like a big change to my diet and overall health but he assured me that these will all be taken in the form of medication, primarily pills and supplements. After we talked about my diet and what not, we then move over to the topic of my body.
'Oh great just great' I think to myself sarcastically.
Dr.Gibson asked me respectfully to strip my clothes so he could examine my bruises. I hesitated a bit at first because he's a grown man and I'm a teenage girl but Vincent assured me that he was trusted family doctor and has been for years. I slowly took off my pink tracksuit in the corner.
I only had my white crop top and my underwear on at this point. I was already self conscious before and this just made it worst. My arms wandered to hover over my chest and over my crotch as I was still a bit uncomfortable with this examination. Vincent persuaded me that there was absolutely nothing to be ashamed or scared of and that I was in good hands.
I tried my best to believe him, I truly did.
I step forward, closer to Dr.Gibson. He carefully examines my bruises and asks me questions about them but I somehow manage to lie about each and every single one of them. I can't believe they bought it. Pfft amateurs.
I even vouched for Xander so his marks that he made on me, didn't get him in trouble. Even though I already told Vincent some of the truth about my bruises, he didn't inform the doctor when I told him. I knew that Vincent was disappointed in me but I couldn't care less. I didn't need these random strangers knowing about my past, that was all just ancient history. After the body examination, I eagerly changed back into my clothes as it felt a bit awkward in the room.
I felt a wave of relief knowing that it was finally over.
After the appointment, Dr.Gibson had given me a paper sheet FULL of medication. It was almost a full A4 sheet long. It made me feel a tad bit embarrassed because of all the pills that I was prescribed, but he managed to convince me that it was all for my own good, and that I would better before I know it. As we bid him farewell, Vincent and I were walking back through the corridor to go home.
I was happy that we were finally going home, it was a rough start to the day but I was happy that it was over and done with.
Out of the bloom, Vincent bends down and whispers something into my ear "You may be able to fool Mr.Gibson but you are unmatched for me, little one." He stares into my deep oceans eyes trying to look for something, an answer. I knew that he wanted to know the truth, he wanted to know so desperately, but after his recent actions today, I didn't know if I could even trust the man. Maybe I was overreacting, but I felt deep down that this was the best solution for the both of us.
I was going to tell him in the future, but today isn't the day.
We pass by the receptionist's desk and Vincent gives her a flirty, yet subtle nod. She winks back returning the gesture and we were out the door. Vincent opens my car door and I get in murmuring a small "Thank you" to show my gratitude. He starts the engine and we make our way out if the facility.
I assumed that we were going home, but I couldn't have been more wrong..
