GABRIELLA' POV:
"Where's Andrea?" I checked the time on my wristwatch. It's 17:01, I've been waiting here for an hour plus. Where is she?
And why didn't I wear something more conservative that would make my body warm?
I folded my arms as I huffed while I sat on the park bench looking at the kids playing in dirt.
Stupid kids.
I stood up from there and walked around the place looking at the beautiful scenery. Until someone tapped my leg.
I turned around but no one was there. Hmm, weird.
"Umm, excuse me."
A little voice said but I didn't know where it came from.
I looked around but I didn't see anyone.
"I'm down here Miss." The little voice chirped and I was stunned when I looked down and saw this little Asian boy about five.
"Oh." I said. "What do you want?" I asked.
"Here." He handed me a Purple Rose.
I squatted down and took it with surprise.
"Thanks but, why are you giving it to me? Are you lost?" I frowned. Don't tell me this kid is stuck with me.
He shook his head. "My family is over there." He pointed to an area. "Bye!" He said and ran away in a very cute and funny way.
"That was strange." I said as I stood up well and decided to sit on a nearby bench.
All of a sudden, two girls came to me. One with a red rose and the other with a red card.
"Here Miss." They both said simultaneously as I took it from them.
I opened the card and read the content.
You complete me.
This is strange. Why are they giving me this?
Then two boys came holding two boxes of my favorite chocolate. They gave it to me and I stupidly took it.
"Why are you giving me this?" I asked.
"Not us." The Blondie said.
"Him." The brunette pointed to my left and I tilted my head and saw him standing there with a big bouquet of flowers.
"André?" I wanted to cry but I fought back the tears.
"Not André, Dré. D-R-É, Dré." He said. "I missed you Brie, do you know that?"
"Why are you here?" I said as I stood up and the children offered to hold my boxes.
"I'm here for you. I'm here so that we can talk about us. Me and you. I'm here because I missed you and I want you back Brie, it doesn't matter if I'll fight for you, I want you still. And I won't leave here without you. I want you." He said and gave it to a little girl that came.
"André you know that's not possible. You know we can't. Andrea would never—"
"Andrea wants us to be together. She wants us to be happy." He came to me and took my hands in his then kissed them. "I want that, and I know you want the same. I can see it in your eyes Brie. I can see the pain in your eyes and I'm sorry for that." His hand caressed my cheek.
"André stop." I whispered. "Stop lying because I know the truth. This is all a lie. A game."
"I swear to God that it's not a game. And you need to believe me when I say I have feelings for you. You have to believe me Brie." He tugged a lock of hair behind my ear.
"André please stop." I moved back and removed my hand from his. "I can't believe you. And if you think that I'll say yes to be your half girlfriend then you're sick in the head. Just leave me alone. I have Daniel now."
"No. I don't believe that. I don't believe that you're happy with him, I can't Brie, I can't." He shook his head in annoyance. "Brie you can do this to me, to us." He came and took my hand then placed it on his well sculptured chest where his heart is. "You feel it don't you?" He asked and I nodded. "You're the one making that music, that beating, it's you Brie, only you. Believe me Brie, please. Tell me you believe. Do you believe?"
I felt the pool of tears forming into a water fall and I nodded my head.
"You make me so happy, do you know that?" He wiped my tears and kissed me. He moved back a bit and raked his forehead nervously. "Brie, I wanna ask you a question."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Turn around." He spoke with a smile and I slowly turned.
"What are— OH MY GOD!" I clasped my mouth with my hands.
All the children that came to me were holding a white cardboard saying;
***WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?***
More tears started to pour out when I read it.
"So Brie, will you be my girlfriend?" André came to me and held my hands as he looked at me hoping for an answer. "I promise I'll try my best to make you happy. I'll stop hanging around with girls. No more of my player ways, I promise you."
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww." Everyone around us said including adults and kids. "Say Yes! Say Yes!" They chanted.
"YES!" I exclaimed and immediately André hugged me.
"Thank you so much Brie. I swear you're my happiness!" He surprised me by taking me up and turned me around while the audience cheered happily.
"She said yes!" He exclaimed and I laughed.
Once he put me down, he captured my lips and I reciprocated immediately.
We stopped when the kids went all "Uuuuuuuuu." and started mimicking us, we couldn't help but laugh.
That evening he decided to go to his house in the Pacific Palasides.
"André what are you doing?!" I screamed when he came sweeping me off my feet in a bridal style.
"Carrying my girlfriend." He smiled at me as we entered the house.
"This place is beautiful." I said as I looked at the living room.
"Thanks." He spoke then gently dropped me on the couch.
"I'll go get the stu—" He hushed me when he hovered on top of me.
"Where do you think you're going to?" He smirked.
I decided to tease him. "Mr. Lombardi that is my business and you have no right to—"
He hovered his lips on mine in a slow but demanding way. I kissed him back in the same pattern and our lips immediately synchronized.
"I missed you Brie, our kisses, our moments, everything." He kissed my neck and I moaned.
"Dré we should stop." I said and he looked at me.
"Why?" He frowned.
"I need to get the things from the car." I said as I suppressed my laughter.
"You just like being a tease don't you?" He exhaled heavily as he sat on the couch.
"Yeah. I won't waste time though." I said then kissed him.
"Mind helping me?" I said as I came in holding the bouquet of flowers plus the other flowers and the chocolate boxes and also the card. I took them to the table where he sat as he watched TV.
"Alright." He stood up and went outside to get groceries.
After we were done arranging things, I forced him to freshen up then I freshened up. We were in the living room on the couch watching TV while I was feeding him chocolate.
"You know Dré.."
"Mmmhmm?" He said and I looked at me.
"I just can't believe I have a boyfriend. Is it funny that I can't believe it?" I asked him.
"Not at all. I can't believe that I have a girlfriend. I mean me of all people has a girlfriend. But, the feeling is amazing, right?" He looked at me.
"Yeah." I grinned.
"Are we going to keep we a secret?" He questioned and I shook my head.
"No way. We're letting the whole Universe know."
"That's good." He kissed my lips.
We talked about so many things throughout the night including what we each went through when we broke up.
As we were chatting, André's phone rang. At first he didn't want to pick it but I urged him to.
"Hello?" He said as he put it on speaker.
"Hello? André." A woman's voice spoke.
"What do you want?" André tone suddenly changed to that of an arrogant tone.
"Well...I...I—"
"Stop disturbing me." He stated and hung up on her.
"Dré who was that?" I said as I straddled him while trying to control his anger.
"The woman who gave birth to me." He clenched his jaw. "Why is she calling?!"
"Hey hey, chill. Dré look at me." I cupped his face then kissed him.
The phone started ringing again.
"Just pick, she's probably worried about you." I took the phone and handed it to him.
He cursed under his breath.
"Hello?"
"What?" He spoke.
"André are you okay? Where are you? You've been gone for long, your grandma is worried sick about you." She said and I could feel like she was about to cry.
"Tell Grandma that I'm okay. And as for you, I'm just in my house so please can you stop disturbing my life for God's sake." He almost shouts at her.
"André." I mouthed to him. "You're being rude." I mouthed but he just rolled his eyes.
"I'm-I'm sorry. I was just worried about you. Please come—"
He abruptly cut the call and tossed the phone away.
"André. Why?" I frowned at him. "She's your mom."
"That woman is an excuse of a mother. She doesn't deserves to be called mom." He spat angrily. "I'm sorry she ruined what we were talking about. She can be annoying sometimes.......actually all the time." He groaned in annoyance.
"Alright, I won't argue with you. " I traced my finger on the side of his face from up to down. "You must have your reasons, and I respect them."
He exhaled heavily. "Thanks baby."
"Anytime."
The night went super well actually. There were funny and stupid times, there were times when we would say I'm sorry to each other like when I told him about Elena and I. There were times when we would get intimate leaving both of us breathless.
The last thing I could remember was me sleeping on his chest.
