Rapacious Lover

Chapter 3:

[Unedited]

(Kayani)

The ride to his house was one of silence and awkwardness.

"You're going to have to talk to me sometimes tesero." Gio has been pestering me for the entire journey home, but I couldn't bring myself to answer because I know I would just burst into tears.

I don't even know why I'm taking this so hard, he made it clear he doesn't want me like that and I thought I accepted. Accepted that we should just remain best friend.

I guess laying next to him almost every night, with his wondering hands, just made me keep the hope that we could one day be together.

"Just le-" I was about to answer but his phone started to ring. "Can you reach my phone it's the front pocket of my bag."

I reluctantly stretched and went to his bag in the back seat, before plopping myself back onto the seat.

I looked at the phone screen to see a picture of the girl that I saw him kissing. "Viktoriya Kuznetsov." I mumbled, reading the names from the screen. "Who is she?" I asked, biting my lip.

He quickly grabbed the phones and threw it back to the back seat of the car. "None of your business." He snapped.

I was taken back by his tones. "It was just a question." I murmured, turning my body to face out the window.

I felt a hand rest on my tight, which I roughly slid off. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound so harsh." He apologised, trying to touch me again but I wouldn't allow it. "I just mean you don't need to know her. It's private."

For the pass few days it's all sorry's. "Whatever Giovanni." I placed my head phones in my ears as I felt tears brim my eyes.

It angered me that I was crying for such stupid reasons, but for some reason I couldn't stop.

I know I did it to myself, keeping false hope that he'll suddenly express his undying love for me.

I heard a loud sigh before I drowned my sorrows in music.  

'The Worst' by Jhene Aiko flowed through my ears, as I related with the lyrics so much bring even more water to my eyes.

I didn't want to but I sadly love Gio.

Every time I tried to stop liking him like I do he would do some romantic shit that would flip my heart all the way around.

As soon as the car parked in the driveway I jumped out the car and practically ran into the house. I waved at Gio's mom before climbing the stairs and trekking my way to Gio's room.

I place my bag down at the side of the room I heard loud thudding in the stairs, so I decided to go into the bathroom so he won't see my red puffy eyes.

I gently locked the bathroom door and stripped off my clothes, tying my mi-long hair in a pony tail.

I went to take a shower  to hide the obvious river coming from my eyes.
