ARIEL

Memories from last night hit me extremely fucking hard this morning, Santino taking me in the fucking bathroom, calling Dario while Santino fucked me. God. I needed to call Gianna and tell her what in the hell went down but most importantly, what was I gonna say to Dario?

As the day goes on I hadn't spoke to Dario at all and it was nothing new he was angry, it was written all over his face last-night. This morning he ate his breakfast in silence and walked out of the house not even uttering a word to mom and me? he completely ignored my presence.

I walk back upstairs and lay in bed, deciding to call my dad and talk about when I get to come home because surely I was ready to come home now, I just can't stand being here anymore. Not around my mom and definitely not around Dario its already so fucking hard trying to stay away from him.

I dial dad and bring my phone up against my ear letting the phone ring for a couple minutes, debating if this was such a good time because he was usually busy during the day. I was close to hanging up until I hear my dads voice ring through the other line. "Hey baby how are you im sorry I was in a meeting."

"Oh, im sorry If you want ill call you later." he chuckles quietly, "No no its fine tell me what have you been up to? i've been thinking about you."

"Well I went to the club last night with Romeo I had a lot of fun it was definitely well... needed." he hums, "Thats good baby so everything's good then?"

My lips purse momentarily before just fucking it and asking, "Well...." he sighs, "Well? talk to me"

I sigh before continuing, "Its about to be three months dad and to be honest I think I'm just ready to be home." my finger instinctively comes up to my mouth and bite nervously down as the phone falls into deep silence.

"How about I come get you this weekend then si?"

My eyes instantly light up for the first time in a long time. "Really!?" I exclaim with more reassurance and he easily chuckles through the phone. "Yes really let me just talk to your mom about it but yes i'll come and get you."

After the fantastic news we ended the call much later and it was close to dinner time, Dario called apparently and said he wasn't joining us tonight apparently he had a lot of things to do.

I didn't mind, truth be told I didn't wanna see him anyways not after last night. So it was just me and my mom tonight and it was awkward, the silence was easily telling my everything I needed to know. My dad called her.

"So your dad called," I look up catching my moms eyes and swallow the remaining food down my throat to avoid talking with a mouthful. "Yeah he told me he was gonna call you."

My mom hums in response before continuing with a shrug, "If you wanna leave thats fine Ariel I get it im a shitty mother," I was about to speak up and tell her it had nothing to do with her until she interrupts me, "You didn't try much in this relationship either though." excuse me what?

My brows knit. "I'm sorry?" she shrugs once more with a fake smile plastered on her face, "Every-time you look at me, you look at me with pure disgust you can't hold on to me leaving forever you know."

"I wasn't and I don't." I exclaim and try to reassure but when a scoff comes from her mouth, I boil. "And what did you expect mom? me to come here and brag about how much I missed you? because I didn't."

I shut my eyes for a split second and in my mind face-palm myself right in the face at the words that left my mouth and before I know it my mom in a blur stands to her feet while pointing a finger directly in my face. "I tried and I couldn't, don't you ever speak to me like that!"

I scoff and stand as well just as angry. "When exactly did you try? you left me when I was only fifteen years old mom fifteen fucking years old and you never tried seeing me!" She slams her fist down on the table and the sudden mood change, was a-lot like me and I hate it. "Your dad drove me away Ariel what aren't you getting it?"

"I'm getting it alright but it doesn't change absolutely anything! you left my dad. Not me no you chose to do that." my voice raises, matching hers but dammit do my feelings get crossed in the fire and my voice instantly breaks.

My lip trembles tremendously and tears sting my eyes, "You ruined this mom not me so please stop acting so fucking innocent for fucking once!" we stare at each other with anger blazing in both of our eyes without no words being exchanged after that.

"Whats going on?" the sudden voice blooming at the door has me turning around, Dario's eyes flicker to mom first before they settle on me and they furrow once he's realized im on the verge of tears. I scowl and walk right past him purposely bumping into his shoulder. "Ask her."

I need to calm myself down my insides are close to exploding so I do what I always do when I need to calm down and muffle my cries, I get in the shower. As I stand underneath the water I close my eyes and let the cold water run down my face taking deep breathes and I try my hardest to keep it together."

I'm not even sure how the conversation escalated so quickly but it doesn't matter i'll be out of their way this week, fuck them both. Once I finish, I wrap the towel around my body and walk back out only to see Dario sitting on my bed patiently waiting for me. His eyes met mine and not once did they lower he was only staring at just me.

I hold onto the towel as if my life depends on it. "If your expecting an apology you aren't getting it." with a loud sigh Dario leans forward, to prop his forearms on his knees. "I'm not. I don't blame you for doing what you did last night, I deserved it."

My eyes flicker to the floor or more or so to my bare feet and the sudden confidence I had was completely gone. "Then why are you here?"

"Because thats the problem Ariel, it bugged me, it made me fucking furious to hear you with another man that isn't me." my lips part and just before I can even utter a word, with a simple finger hovering against his lips mine seal, allowing him to continue. "I can't even begin to explain it but all I know is that I don't want you with anyone other me and I don't want anyone other then you and god does that sound fucking awful."

"I'm leaving this week..." I blurt earning eyes back to me and they furrow, "You're leaving?" of course my mom didn't tell him, mentally I roll my eyes but I nod slowly looking to the window, avoiding his stare. "My dad is coming to get me and he told my mom, thats why she went all fucking crazy on me earlier."

"I'll be far away," I add, "And I won't be a distraction ever again, I'll forget about us and you can go back to my mom with no other problems other then planning your perfect marriage." my voice cracks but with an instant swallow, I swallow the noise away.

Dario stands right back up and within another second, he's strolling right up to me my instincts are to step back with every step he take's upfront and once my back lands on my door stopping me from moving further away, Dario reaches me and props both arms on either side of me while I hold onto the towel tightly.

"Our engagement Ariel from the start has been doomed. You arriving wasn't the cause of our failed relationship." Dario leans forward, his lips hover over mines and my eyes can't help but lower to the lips that i've been kissing from the start, lips i've been familiar with and kissed like they belonged to me. "And no matter where you go, I don't think i'll ever stop thinking about you." he whispers with so much honesty.

"What do you mean its been doomed what aren't you telling me?" I quietly ask but instead of answering, he takes my lips against his's, slow yet passionate and my lips instantly move against his's in harmony. "One last kiss." he whispers and takes my bottom lip against his teeth, "One last kiss before you leave me."

"Okay one." I whisper and wrap my arms around his neck pressing his body to mine, the kiss slowly became more then only one. "Last kiss." I breathe out and he nods, "One more." with the last passionate kiss, his tongue easily slips into my mouth causing me to moan the slightest bit. "I don't want you to leave, I want you all to myself and only you."

With another following kiss Dario is the first to pull away, "I need to go do something Ariel." my brows knit, "Do what?" his lips only seal once again and just as i'm about to ask once again, he gives my forehead a light kiss "Get some sleep." he whispers and leaves my room.

I in-fact can't get much sleep with my mind wandering back to the man thats made my life ten times more harder, a frustrated groan leaves my throat and with a harsh yank I pull the covers away from my body and tiptoe to the door opening it.

Once i've tiptoed successfully downstairs to get a glass of water to help me sleep two very familiar voices from a distance are very clear and hearable and they only followed from Dario's office.

With quiet footsteps I walk right up to the cracked door with the littlest bit of light peaking through and place my ear against the wooden material to get a better hear at the conversation but not close enough to be spotted.

"You aren't serious!?" my mom's voice raises much louder and clearable this time as she spoke causing a loud obnoxious sigh to rise from Dario, "Sus-" he tries to speak but doesn't get the chance.

"Shut up no no Dario! you can't end this!" end it? the room falls into deep and chilling silence, that is until shes scoffing, "There's another isn't there?"

My heart was practically jumping from my body and my hand raises to my mouth with how much i'm gonna get sick and Dario not saying a single word only sends me on edge.

"Yes Susanna, there is." my eyes fly open and before I know it i'm running back upstairs and closing the door as fast as I can, my back slides down the door a hand reaches to where my heart is it was beating faster and faster within every second.

Fuck.
