After a few hours, he went back up to his suite. It was not like he had anywhere to go. I went up with him. Marco went straight to bed without saying anything to anyone. I did not expect him to. He was pretty tired from all of the emotional stress. Bella was still drinking her wine at the table. "What did you say to him!?" she asked me. "You really fucked up here, Bella. All you had to do was grin and pretend you respected Marco enough to let him live his life. Both of us see the writing on the wall here. Do not be such a raging bitch about it." She groaned and poured her another glass. It was time to leave myself. I did not want to be there with her. Bianca and Carlo were both already asleep now. It was good I had the master key for every door in here. I owned the whole hotel. I got inside and waited until the morning. Neither Bianca nor Carlo knew what had happened. The burden of telling them fell to me. They were both shocked at what Bella had said. "Just be extra nice and considerate to Marco and Rocco going forward. They are both human beings. They want to feel accepted and loved. Do that."
Later that day, I saw Rocco doing as he was bid by his mother. Laura and Viola were stretching and getting ready. He went up to them and began talking to them. Both of them gave him their full attention. It was not hard to see why that was. Carlo, Marco and Rocco were all beautiful. They jumped at the chance to hang out with him. A sad smile spread on his face. Rocco did not want to be there talking to them. I did not know if there was someone on his mind. It clearly was not them. Bella was not going to accept Rocco dating a boy though. The session went well enough. All of them could channel their emotions through the dancing. It was at the end of the session where I was going to talk to Rocco. I wanted to talk to him about Bella and the dinner. That was when he was slammed to the wall by Markos Gianatos, the son of the dance instructor. Rocco was pinned in place. Markos was bigger and older than Rocco. It still surprised me. How did he think he could do this at Rocco's home and get away with it. By the time I got over to them, Markos had already left. I looked at Rocco for bruises.
Pointing towards the direction Markos left, I said "That shit was not okay. He was wrong to do that. What happened?" He looked away from me. "Rocco. Look at me. You already know I'm on your side 100%. I just want to know what happened so I can make sure you're okay. I want to protect you." He slowly turned to me. "Markos was angry I was talking to Laura and Viola." he said. I blinked. "Is he interested in them?" I asked him. That confused me because Rocco told me that he had made advances towards him before. Rocco just scoffed. "No way. He doesn't care about them at all. I know that he's a faggot. He's mad because he wants me. I keep turning him down when he says he wants to fuck me, but he doesn't take the hint. He doesn't believe that I like girls because I'm Marco's twin. He's gay, so he thinks that I should be gay too." he explained. I looked Rocco right in the eyes. "That's all bullshit. You get to decide who you date Rocco. If he pulls this shit again, call me. I'll make sure he leaves you alone." Rocco did not look too convinced. I put my forehead against his. "You're my son."
