GABRIELLA'S POV:
Where is he?
"Come back!" I yelled as I stood in the middle of the road.
"Where are you?!"
"I need you here!"
"We need you here!"
I was at the verge of crying. "Please come back!" And then tears cascaded down my cheeks.
"Please!" My feet moved fast when I saw his black car and the plate number. "I'm here!" I shouted.
I ran as fast as I could to meet him but he just drove very fast.
"I'm calling you!" I said with my crying voice.
All of a sudden, a bright light came and I looked at my left. A big truck was coming with full speed towards me. My legs froze to the floor and I screamed and then the next thing I could remember was....
EXPLOSION.
***
I heard other voices as I slept.
"Mrs. Dalmonte, I don't think she can make it. There's a 15% chance that she would because of her critical condition. But we'll try our best to do anything possible we can. We just have to trust God in this situation."
Without warning, I felt a sharp pain forcefully going into my stomach. I tried to yelp or scream in pain but it was as though as invisible force was stopping me from doing so.
I was helpless as my whole body succumbed to the excruciating pain making me give up.
"NO!!!" I woke up and rose up from the bed immediately soaked in great sweat.
I stared at my surrounding. I was in a room. A beautiful unknown room to be exact.
Where am I?
I touched my tummy to search for pain....nothing. I then rose up my dress immediately to check for any mark....nothing.
Thank God it was just a dream.
"André?...André where are you?" I suddenly became restless.
I stood up from the bed and went straight to the door. I opened and went out. I was in a house. Actually a huge mansion. I searched the whole place as fear enveloped me. Nothing.
When I entered the kitchen, I heard thunderous footsteps. With fear, I ran back to the room and closed the door then went to the bed. I sat on it and clasped my legs to my chest tightly as my heart was pounding as though it was about to explode out of my body.
The door handle was rattling as though someone wanted to open it.
What if someone wants to kill me?
I cried quietly as I thought of being dead. What if the person rapes me to death? I've heard about it a lot.
Oh God!
I shut my eyes close when the person enters the room. My heart started to beat faster when I heard his footsteps getting close to me. I felt his impact on the bed as he sits down close to me.
"Brie?"
I slowly rose my head up and opened my eyes. I couldn't form any word out of my mouth but all I could do was to cry. He immediately took me in his arms and I cried on his chest.
"Where were you? I-I-I was....you left me all alone here. How could you? D-D-Do you know how a-a-afraid I was? I thought was going to get kidnapped....promise you won't leave me alone. You have to promise me André."
"What happened?" He rose my head up and looked at my drenched face.
"I-I-I had a dream....A bad dream." I sniffled.
"Calm down Brie. Calm down, I'm here. Nothing will happen to you. Just calm down and tell me what happened."
I nodded slowly with tears in my eyes. "In the dream, I was looking for someone... I don't know who but that person....I feel that person is very special to me. Maybe it was you. I think it's you. And then I saw this familiar black car with a plate number that in the dream, I knew so well. But now I don't know. The person I was looking for — which is you, was in the car and I began running after it while crying. But you never stopped driving. All of a sudden, I couldn't move, and a big truck came with full speed and a-a-and.." I began sobbing again.
"Nothing like that will happen. Alright?" He pulled me to his chest.
"I hope so. Should I go on?"
"Don't worry baby. Let's forget about the dream. Because it won't happen alright." He kissed my head. "Who's my brave girl huh? Where is she? I've been looking for her for a very long time. I need her back pumpkin. Can you talk to her? She'll only listen to you to come back."
"It's just, this dream really affected me a lot. It was as though there's something deeper in this dream that I don't know and it scares me."
"That's how nightmares are baby." He placed me on the bed and rested my back on the headboard. "What do you want for breakfast? Do you want waffles?" He asked and I nodded. "I'll make many waffles for my baby, is that okay?"
"Yeah." I answered sadly and he noticed I still wasn't okay.
"You know, I have a surprise for you." He said with a broad smile.
"What is it?"
"Wait here." He was about to stand up when I held his hand.
"Don't leave me."
"It's just outside this door baby. I'm not going far. And I won't take time." He assured me but I was still restless.
"You still haven't told me what you want to show me." I said.
"Okay fine. Sooooo....what's your favorite pet?" He asked randomly.
"A-A-A.....A snake." I hesitated. I'm weird but even still, I feel snakes are cute. I actually wanted to keep the snake I used to scare Natasha but I know my mom won't allow.
There was this expression on his face that made me want to worry and also laugh at.
"André why are you asking?"
"Uhhh..uhhh...nothing. Brie I promise I won't take time just give me 45 minutes. I'll hurry as fast as I can."
"André why do you want to leave me again?" A frown came to my face. "And what do you want to do? You have to tell me André."
There was no atom of hope on his face. "Brie don't get mad okay. Remember I love you. Alright?"
I nodded.
"I'll just get what's outside the door here."
"Don't waste time André."
The door opened back after some seconds revealing André holding a creature that Adela, and mom, and every girl would go awww for.
"Brie. Surprise." He chuckled nervously as he came closer to the bed.
"Why are you holding that?" I sat up straight looking at the creature.
"I thought I would surprise you Brie. I thought this was your favorite. I'm sorry." He said and looked down sadly.
"Dré?" I called him. "Can I carry him?" I said looking at both the creature and my boyfriend that had sad eyes.
"Really?" His eyes then lit up.
"Yeah." I grinned at him.
He carefully handed me the little puppy.
"Careful, he's just five weeks old." He said.
"He's beautiful." I looked at the white furred puppy.
"It's actually a she. She's a pomeranian dog."
"Like Jiffpom?" I asked and he nodded. "So you're trying to insinuate that you bought this puppy."
"For us but 90%...you. We can return it if you want and change it with a snake. I don't mind at all even though I don't do good with snakes but I can try." There was hesitation and utmost fear on his face.
"Why do you want to return her? She's so cute and fluffy and beautiful and innocent and so...ahhhhh." I caressed her skin.
"But you like snakes."
"Doesn't mean I don't love puppies. I love both of them. It's just I love snakes more. But I don't think I can give her away. So can we keep her?" I said with puppy eyes.
He laughed a bit. "She's all yours. So, thought of a name for her?" He tucked a hair behind my ear.
"Not yet. I'll think. Thanks so much Dré. I love you." I scooched to him and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Now one more thing." I said to him.
"Making love? 'Cause I'm so supporting that." He smirked.
"André! There's a baby here. Try and get a filter for God's sake." I scolded him and he laughed. "The one more thing is that, where are we?" I looked around the room then back at him. "Are we still in Italy?"
"Yeah. We are we're not just in Milan anymore."
"Here, hold her." I gave him to her and went outside to the balcony that had an aerial frontal view of the beautiful city. "But are we still in the Lombardy?" I raked my hair as I smelt the beautiful breeze.
"Nope. We're not even in Northern Italy anymore." He said.
"Then where the hell are we?" I turned back and looked at him. There was this cute grin on him. "C'mon where?" I was a bit amused by his face.
"Rome."
"What? Oh My....this is amazing. Are you kidding me." I giggled in excitement. "Stay with her, I'll go take a bath in the uhhh..." I looked around for a door. "Bathroom!"
"Can I join you?" He said.
"No." I bluntly told him. "You have to take care of her. What if something happens when we're not here? I don't want anything bad to happen to her."
"Don't make me regret buying the puppy." He gave me a frown.
"Hey don't say that. I'll do super quick okay?....Love you."
