Loving The Envy

Fourteen

Envy's First Day:

"So you said she knows how to bake right? We don't have time for games or your sluts Armani." My cousin Angelina says with an attitude.

She always has an attitude. She's 34 with no husband and no kids.

"She's not a f*****g slut, dumbass. Also yes she can bake. Definitely better than you. Be nice to her and don't annoy me." I say seriously to her and she rolls her eyes but nods her head anyways.

"Envy!!" I yell from outside the office door in the bakery. Envy is standing out there waiting to speak to Angelina. It's 8:30 and the store doesn't open until 12 but Envy has to learn how to prep and all that other stuff that I couldn't care less about.

Envy comes through the door with a smile on her face and the work uniform on. It's simple. A black shirt with your name tag on it. Some how Envy's shirt is already bedazzled. I seen it this morning when I drove her here but I didn't bother to ask her about it. For the bottom they can can wear any type of jeans. Envy just so happens to be wearing some baggy mom jeans that she also bedazzled, they are tight in the waist but loose in the thigh area. Somehow her ass still looks fat in those jeans.

"Hi! I'm Envy." She says excitedly and holds her hand out so Angelina can shake it. Angelina looks shocked.

"I'm Angelina. How old are you Envy?" She asks her and her face goes back to normal.

"I'm 20." Envy says still smiling. She's excited to actually be putting her culinary skills to use.

Well at least that's what she told me.

"Okay cool. Well Envy we have a couple more workers that should be here in about 5 minutes. Why don't you go ahead out and start taking the chairs off the table." Angelina says to Envy politely. Envy nods and goes back out the door.

"She's not what I expected but I'll give you your props, she's gorgeous." Angelina says with a chuckle.

"I'm not dating her." I say while looking at her with a plain face.

"Good, we can use her to sell more items. She has a natural beauty surrounding her. People will love her." She says and I nod.

Trust me I know

"Maybe we'll get more male customers now. All we get is specific catering orders and middle aged women coming here. No one eats inside." She says with a smirk and I immediately glare at the thought of some perv chatting up Envy.

"If someone messes with her let me know." I say seriously to her and once again she looks shocked.

"You- you like her." She says with wide eyes.

I don't say anything. I don't like Envy.

"Wow, I don't remember the last time you've actually liked someone. Hell I don't think you ever have." She says with a confused look on her face.

"I don't like her. Make sure nothing happens." I say and stand up from the chair and then walk out of her office.

Mercy!!

As soon as I get to where Envy is she's f*****g bending down trying to pick something up and I look to see two guys staring at her butt and smirking.

Now these guys are sons of some of my workers. The only people that are allowed to actually work here are the sons and daughters of my workers.

I look at the guys and their faces go pale. I quickly walk up to them.

"Don't f*****g talk to her, don't f*****g look at her. She's off limits." I say to them sternly showing them that I'm not playing around. They both nod fastly and look away from Envy.

I walk away and as I'm about to get out the door Envy calls me.

"Armani, thank you for getting me this job." She says and then out of no where hugs me from behind and kisses my cheek.

I don't know what took over me be I quickly turn around and allow her to give me a full hug. She hugs me right but a couple seconds later she lets me go. I immediately look down to see her face and she's smiling. She also has on some eye lashes and glitter on the corner of her eyes. She looks so f*****g beautiful.

"Don't let anyone mess with you." I rasp out and she nods her head with a small smile on her face. She turns away from me and walks back to the the cashier section and Angelina immediately comes out of her office and starts talking to her. With one last look at Envy I turn around and head out the door.

"I have to call Roxanne immediately." I say to myself with a sigh.

There's no f*****g way I'm gonna let a girl like Envy invade my mind. She's too pretty, she's too sweet, and she's too f*****g perfect.

I don't know if she's too good for me or if I'm too much for her but either way it goes someone is gonna end up hurt.

Hours Later:

"WAKE THE f**k UP!!" I hear someone yell and I jump out or my bed. I look around trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I see Enzo in front of me looking mad.

"What the f**k?! Why are you in here?!" I yell at him getting pissed that he woke me up out of my nap. An hour ago I f****d Roxanne and kicked her ass out. I didn't have anything else to do so I took a nap.

Yes, I Armani Morelli. Like naps.

"Something happened at the bakery." He says while looking at me.

FUCK!!

"Is Envy okay?" I ask him and rub the sleepy out of my eyes.

"I don't know. All I know is someone robbed the place and people got hurt." He say's seriously. I quickly go to my bathroom and brush my teeth then come back into my room and throw on a shirt.

Me and Enzo both rush out of my room and out of the house.

"No one told you anything?" I ask him and I'm f*****g pissed.

"No, Angelina called and you didn't answer so she called me. She didn't say anything but she was crying." Is what he tells me and my jaw clenches.

Angelina doesn't f*****g cry. So something bad must have happened. If it happened to Envy. Every will die.

We get to the Bakery in about 30 minutes and there are cops everywhere.

I push past everyone including the cops and go inside.

The place is trashed. Angelina is crying talking to the cops. I don't see Envy anywhere.

"Where's Envy." I ask when I walk up to Angelina.

"S-She's in the back." She says and points to the office.

I quickly walk back there and I see Envy sitting on a couch with her head in her knees.

"Envy." I say softly walking up to her.

She lifts her head up and my heart drops when I see her face.

She has a black eye, a cut on her cheek that definitely needs stitches. A busted lip and her nose looks f****d up.

"I-I try so h-hard to be a good person." She says in a shaky voice.

She's about to cry.

"I-it never works. N-nothing works for me." She says and now she's crying.

I feel f*****g sick to my stomach. The way she's talking right now. It sounds like she's giving up. Like this was the last straw for her to realize that who she is doesn't matter in this world.

I have no words right now.

I've seen her cry several times from being scared or sad. But I've never seen her actually look defeated.

"E-Envy -I." I try to speak to her but I don't know what to say.

"J-just take me home." She says while wiping her tears.

"Envy you need stitches on your face." I say to her softly.

"Frankie can do it." She says sadly.

Frankie is our personal doctor in the mafia.

I nod my head and stand up. I try to grab her hand to help her stand up but she pushes it away and stands up on her own. I open the door for her and when we walk out everyone is staring at us. Well mostly Envy.

"Dude you won't f*****g believe what Envy did." Enzo says walking up to me and Envy.

What? Get beat up.

"Look tell me about it later." I say with a sigh.

"Baby girl, you okay?" Enzo asks Evny and she just shrugs her shoulders. She's no longer crying. She has no emotion on her face.

"We're leaving. Find out who did this." I say to him sternly.

"He's already in the hospital. I was trying to t-"

"Can we just go?" Envy asks interrupting Enzo from whatever he was saying.

"Yeah." I say and lead her through the crowd of people that are now clapping for her. I look around and I notice that Envy is the only worker that's hurt.

We get to my car and drive home in silence. Except for when I call Frankie to attend to Envy's face.

"Envy, we have to talk about what happened at the store." I say when we get in the house.

She just ignores me and walks away. Probably going upstairs cause the doctor got here before us.

Control yourself Armani.

She walks further away and I immediately call Enzo.

"What did she do?" I ask him as soon as he answers the phone.

"Angelina said that whenever the robber came in Envy was in the back taking a break. So she didn't know what was going on at first but once she heard Angelina crying she snuck out the door and seen the robber but he didn't see her. He was holding a gun at Angelina's head so somehow Envy snuck over and kicked the gun out of his hand. Which brought his attention to her and not the others. That's when Angelina ran away called for help but she could still see everything happening. She said that Envy and the guy were fighting. Of course Envy wasn't winning but he brought out a knife and cut Envy's face when he had her down. She lifted her whole body and I guess the man didn't have great balance cause he fell off of her and when he did Envy got up, kicked the knife away from him. Repeatedly stomped on his hand and then kicked him in the head and knocked him out." He says all this in amazement and I am f*****g shocked. I don't know what to think or say.

Little Envy did that? The girl is 5'1, she's a crybaby, she's a pacifist, she's a sweet girl. There's no way she did that.

"No she didn't." I say in disbelief.

"Dude look at this." He says with a laugh and I hear a ping on my phone.

I open my messages and it's a video from inside the bakery.

I watch it intensely and Envy did everyone that Enzo just said she did.

She was crying while she was doing it but she f*****g fought a robber that was much bigger than her and won.

Maybe she's not as weak as I thought.
