More Than This | THE WATTPAD DRAFT

Chapter 15

He scoffed, "Must be nice,"

I was thrown off by the hostility behind that statement. He had no idea what I had been going through these last few weeks but I wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of knowing he had broken me to the point of no return. I didn't know how I was ever going to get over him. The thoughts were spinning in my mind and a rush of dizziness overcame me again. Alcohol and emotion were a terrible combination but it was already too late for me. A spinning wheel of emotions spun around in my head and landed on anger.

"And you? I'm sure the elusive Giovanni Velazquez has found many ways to entertain himself,"

I was being petty now but my inebriated state was in charge and I wasn't able to control what I was saying. My filter had slipped away about three shots ago.

He raised an eyebrow, "What the hell does that mean?"

I shrugged, "I highly doubt you've been without company,"

He stopped with his glass halfway to meet his lips, "My company is hardly any of your business anymore,"

Ouch

My heart contracted but my face remained unchanged. I was thrown off by his bitterness towards me. I had never seen him like this and it was making it harder for me not to burst into tears. I tried to convince myself that he wasn't being intentionally cruel to me, he just wanted a reaction.

"Thanks for the reminder," I scolded sarcastically and reached for my coat

"Where are you going?" he asked

A pretty young blonde stopped by our booth, flashing a quick smile to me before turning to face Giovanni

Before I could answer, she interrupted, "I haven't seen you here in a while,"

She was an unfamiliar face to me but then again, I didn't know everyone who interacted with Giovanni. He dismissed my presence and turned to reply to her. I was shocked and disgusted by his behaviour. Has he not hurt me enough? My heart contracted and I felt a lump start to form in my throat.

"Well, that's my cue," I muttered and stood up without a last glance towards him

Reyna and Katrina were laughing by the bar so I walked over to join them. The entire interaction with Giovanni was unnecessary and made me feel so much worse. I had started to accept the pain I was feeling over the last couple of weeks but that interaction just reignited it and reminded me how much I love I had for him. It didn't matter anymore though because he had clearly forgotten about me.

Reyna reached for me, "Please can you tell my sister that a winter wedding would be a terrible idea,"

Katrina chuckled, "I'm just playing around with ideas, nothing has be-,"

The rest of the conversation became white noise as I couldn't help but watch Giovanni and the blonde stand up and leave the area together. Jealousy reared its ugly head. Are you fucking kidding me? Was this not the reason we were in this situation in the first place? I couldn't believe the audacity. I cried over him every day and here he was leaving with someone as if our relationship meant nothing to him.

I turned to the bartender, "Can I please get a shot of Tequila?"

"I'll have one too!" Reyna shouted, "Katrina?"

"Joder, no, please. I'm pretty sure I'm already drunk,"

"Well, drunk sex is great so I'm sure you and Sergio are going to have a time tonight," Reyna winked, laughing

Katrina's jaw dropped, "Reyna!"

I couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. Katrina was so polite and more reserved than Reyna was.
