Quinn's Apartment

-doorbell-

Quinn : -opens door- What?
Giselle : What? What do you mean what?! I haven't heard from you since Friday night!! I was worried..
Quinn : Oh
Giselle : Are you okay...?
Quinn : Mhm
Giselle : Can I come in?
Quinn : Mhm
Giselle : -walks in- You're not okay..
Quinn : ...
Giselle : It really hurts you doesn't it?
Quinn : I'm mad at myself for catching feelings for someone I shouldn't have! I should've known he was just playing me! I mean nothing to him!!
Giselle : Then don't let a man bring you down like that!! Show him you don't need him! Show him you don't give a single flying fuck what he does!!
Quinn : That won't take the pain away..
Giselle : I know but don't let him see you like this. You can breakdown here but not in front of him okay?
Quinn : Mhm
Giselle : You're going to get all dolled up tomorrow and walk into that office like the fucking Queen you are!
Quinn : Pretty dress and heels..
Giselle : Exactly!!
Quinn : Yeah....I'll show him what he's missing.
Giselle : Now we're talking!!

Alessandro's Apartment

Leonardo : I still can't believe you didn't get her number.
Alessandro : Because I don't want to see her ever again.
Leonardo : Was she bad or what?
Alessandro : She's not Quinn! If anything I was the one who didn't perform right.
Leonardo : Oh brother you're losing your head over a twenty four year old!
Alessandro : I don't know why I listened to you.
Leonardo : I see having another woman didn't help you.
Alessandro : No! If anything it made me feel worse! I feel like I betrayed Quinn.
Leonardo : Betrayed her? How? You're not dating!
Alessandro : No but I've led her on. I've told her how she's driving me crazy.
Leonardo : And she is! I don't know what to tell you man but I'll tell you this. The future looks ugly for you.
Alessandro : Really? I didn't realize that. -eye roll-
Leonardo : Good luck brother! You'll need it for whatever is to come.

Quinn
Just like planned, I put on a cute little black dress with some big sparkly black heels. I walked into the office with no care in the world.
In fact- I didn't even check in with Alessandro today. I went straight to my desk.

Alessandro : Quinn? When did you come in? You didn't check in.
Quinn : Didn't feel like it.
Alessandro : Oh you didn't feel like it? It's more like a rule Quinn.
Quinn : Well I'm here so what's the problem?
Alessandro : More like what's your problem? You came in with an attitude today.
Emiliano : Quinn? An attitude? Pft!
Alessandro : Whatever just finish the report I asked for yesterday. -walks away-
Emiliano : The hell? What's wrong with him?
Quinn : Who knows!
Emiliano : Are you feeling better?
Quinn : Yeah thanks babe.
Emiliano : If you don't feel good just tell me. I'll be in my office.
Quinn : Mhm..

L A T E R

Quinn : -knock-
Alessandro : Come in!
Quinn : Wanted to see me boss?
Alessandro : Sit, we have to talk.
Quinn : I rather stand.
Alessandro : As you wish. What's wrong? I've never seen you like this.
Quinn : Like what?
Alessandro : Cold, rude, mean- I don't fucking know! So what's your problem?
Quinn : I rather not talk about my personal life with you.
Alessandro : Quinn, I thought you said we were friends? Tell me what's wrong? I can help you-
Quinn : I said I don't want to talk about it with you! Can I go now?
Alessandro : -sigh- fine go!
Quinn : -walks out-

Emiliano : Ready for lunch?
Quinn : I'm not hungry..
Emiliano : What do you mean you're not hungry? Are you not feeling well?
Quinn : I'm fine I'm just not hungry..
Emiliano : Well, what do you want to do?
Quinn : Sleep..
Emiliano : You're not one to nap.
Quinn : There's a first to everything.
Emiliano : Something's definitely wrong.
Quinn : No baby I'm just tired. -kiss- let's go back to my apartment. You can buy something on the way and I can get some sleep.
Emiliano : Alright if that's what you want to do. Come on we'll take my car.
