“I don’t know why you’re saying this to me.” She murmurs softly, tilting her head to the side, “Christopher is technically your brother and I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate you coming onto his ex-girlfriend. As much as I would love to piss him off for what he did to me, I’m not going to allow myself to get dragged into that mess. I know that he would get very pissed off and then he would never let me live it down.”
“What does it matter what he says when it is obvious that you don’t feel anything for him anymore?” I ask her a bit curiously, raising my eyebrow at her, “it is pretty obvious that you do not harbor feelings towards him anymore. I mean, you just told him already that you don’t want anything to do with him in that way and I’m afraid that you probably already hurt his feelings to the point he might not be able to live without you.”
She just grits her teeth and gives me a look that tells me to shut it, “I understand that you might THINK that way but I’m not going to put up with that in a sense. I know what I have been through, and you don’t know me. You don’t know what I have dealt with after he broke up with me. He hurt me a lot and I have every right to tell him where to stick it because he’s not someone that I can just forgive. He didn’t even give me a real answer to what happened, he just kept making excuses after excuses and I’m not putting up with it. I’m sure you understand.”
I just smile because I know this is bugging her a little bit, “oh yes, I do understand completely. I know how you two feel about each other and I’m afraid to say that this is probably going to turn around and do more damage that what it is worth. I just hope that you know what you’re doing because I’m afraid this might do you more bad than good.”
“And what do you think I should do then?” She asks me curiously, raising an eyebrow, “if you are such an expert on the situation.”
I think long and hard about it, tilting my head to the side, “Honestly, I’m not even sure about that but I do know that you should go on a date with me.”
She looks a little nervous, her jaw-dropping, “what?”
“I’m asking you to go on a date with me,” I repeat myself, wondering what was so hard about that.
She didn’t look too sure, staring at me like I had just grown another head. I’m sure she is debating on what she’s going to say to me, probably wondering if she should reject me. I mean, of course, I understand if she does, but I know she will regret it. I’m sure she is thinking the same thing as she looks at me, her lips slightly pursed. I don’t know what to believe what I do know where I’m going to let this go. I know that I need to do something about her, but I know I can’t have Christopher standing in my way. He can’t know or I know he will try to push me away from her and I won’t allow it.
Chapter Five
Jianna
I couldn’t believe that Elio asked me out on a date. Originally, I thought that he was just messing around because why would he want to go on a date with his brother’s ex-girlfriend, but I did quickly realize that he was telling me the truth. I didn’t know what to say or do, so I just ended up nodding my head, thinking that maybe this wasn’t the worst thing that I could do. I know that Elio probably didn’t know what was going on either and I wouldn’t be able to figure out too much. We have gone through a lot already, I can see that now, and I’m sure he is trying to figure out how he is going to deal with Christopher if it came down to it.
I wanted to keep asking him if he was being serious when he asked me out on a date, but I didn’t know a hundred percent. I couldn’t tell if he was lying because he made it seem like he was honestly so into me. Maybe he was and maybe I was just overthinking everything, but I wasn’t a hundred percent certain about that at all. I knew how I felt, and I knew that there was no way that I was going to be able to allow this to go on for much longer. I couldn’t let him win when I have been doing everything in my power to make it not so possible.
I see how Elio is looking at me though as we walk into the restaurant, seeing how there are aliens and humans all around. They don’t pay us any attention and I just glance up at Elio because he is a really handsome man, there’s honestly no doubt about it. I couldn’t be entirely certain of what would end up happening next, but I did know that I wasn’t going to let anything stand in my way at all. I need to know what his game plan is, if there is even one.
We sit down at the table and I’m a bit nervous as we are helped. I purse my lips and I couldn’t be certain about what would end up happening. He sits across from me, picking up the menu as he licks his bottom lip. I’m feeling a bit nervous with everything that has happened so far and I have to ask myself where to go from here.
“I can’t believe that you asked me out on a date after knowing everything.” I murmur softly, peeking up at him, “I kind of thought that you would try to go a different route because why in the world would you want to go on a date with a woman who used to date your brother?”
“Because he was a fool for giving you up.” Elio murmurs, a soft smile on his face when he looks at me, “I know that someone else might have assumed that you were going to come back here and just expected what was going to happen, but it is pretty obvious how you feel and such. I know that you don’t want him anymore so that means you’re free to be in a relationship with whoever you want. I know that I want you myself. I felt the connection almost immediately when I saw you.”
“Connection?” I echo him, feeling a bit intrigued, “I have never heard it like that before. I don’t know why you’d want me though. I’m nothing really special and I think that you could do so much better if I’m being honest. Christopher left me for a reason, and he didn’t want me anymore because he knew that I wasn’t good enough for him.”
Elio’s jaw clenches and he shakes his head, “You were more than good enough, he was a complete idiot for letting you go. He should have done everything in his power to make sure that you stayed in his life, and he failed you, Jianna. He should have been a much better person to you.”
“What do you know about our relationship?” I ask him curiously, tilting my head to the side, “I thought that you didn’t ever meet me.”
“I didn’t know you.” He assures me, giving me a soft look, “I don’t know what you’re thinking but I’m sure that you would have known that he used to talk about you all the time. He told me that he broke up with you because he didn’t have a choice, that it was the best thing for him to do at that moment. I don’t know why though.”
“I don’t know why he broke up with me either.” I agree with him, running my fingers through my hair, “I just know that there’s no way that I can forgive him for it.”
“I don’t think that you should forgive him.” He agrees with me, a gentle look on his face once more, “he doesn’t deserve it. He doesn’t deserve you.”
I thought that I would have a terrible time with him, but I actually quite enjoyed talking with him. He is smart and funny, and it’s pretty obvious that he likes me. I don’t know why he likes me already, feeling a bit curious as to what might end up happening next. I don’t know if I’ll regret it or not but I’m going to hold onto some kind of hope of what will come from here.
Chapter Six
Elio
Walking Jianna back home, I am definitely a weird mess, and I don’t know what to do about it. My heart is thumping in my chest, making me feel more and more curious about what might end up happening next. I keep asking myself where to go from there, feeling a bit curious to what I’m going to do the minute that we get to her home. I can feel the tension in the air, knowing that she wants this as much as I want her. I want to do vile things to her and make her beg for mercy. I want to give it all to her. I want to make her beg for me. I want to make her beg for everything. I want to ask her what she wants from me but a part of me is nervous to find out. I don’t know what I would do if I found out that she is feeling the sexual tension rising inside of her like I do.
“Jianna, where do we go from here?” I end up asking her curiously, glancing down at her.
She takes my hand in hers, startling me because I don’t know why she is holding onto me. I’m okay with that, don’t get me wrong, but a part of me is getting more and more nervous with every passing second. I watch her, knowing that she feels my gaze and I don’t know what to do about it. It makes me wonder what’s going to happen between us. It makes me ache to know where to go from here.
I thought that she would answer me again but then she’s dragging me into her home, not giving me a chance to say anything. Before I could even open my mouth, she slammed the door shut and pinned me against it, pressing her body against mine. The heat is coursing through my veins, making me jump because I didn’t expect her to be so forward. Parting my lips, I stare at her like she had just grown a second head. I don’t know what is going to happen from here, but I didn’t expect her lips to come down on mine in a soft, delicate kiss that makes my heart almost skip a beat.
