CHAPTER 13: BEAUTIFUL

Song for this chapter: Katherina by Bruce Melodie

LUCA'S POV

We walked out of the club and I put on Arsia's jacket over her as it was a bit cold outside. I carefully led her to the private parking where my car was. Then I opened my car door for her and literally had to put her in myself, she found it hard to get in on her own. I buckled her seatbelt and handed her the rest of her water to keep drinking. Then I got inside the driver's seat and drove off.

" What's your favorite color? " she slurred after about 5 minutes into the drive.

I was intrigued by her question but wanted to talk to her too.

"Black," I smirked.

" that's vwery nice. I think that p-people that love black a-are like blank canvases that are o-open to new ideas, " she slurred while trying to make a light bulb with her hand above her head because of the word 'ideas'.

" That's a good perspective, " I smiled.

She blushed and was silent for a few moments, then she started singing. I couldn't tell what song it was but the lyrics were very captivating.

"It never felt that right to me
I know what only the girls know
Lies can buy eternity
I, I see you leaving
So I push record and watch you leave"
(Lana Del Rey)

I looked at her for a second and then back to the road, I noticed that she was sad.

" What's wrong, Arsia? "

*Silence...*

" Arsia? "

" I-I am just so mad, mad at e-everything! I am angry at love, angry at h-hope, angry at trust, angry at hap-ppiness, angry at time wasted... just fucking angry about everything!" She frustratedly said almost losing her breath.

Right before I replied to her, she realized she swore in the last sentence she said. She quickly slapped her hand over her mouth and her whole face went red. Then dropped her hand and nervously said "Sorry", then she did that mesmerizing lip bite of hers.

 Mio Dio, it was already hard enough her sitting right next to me in this car alone, and now she is tempting me in that sexy dress that makes me what to ravish her. I had to clear my throat in order to re-focus.

The thought of someone hurting her is just not sitting right with me at all, I felt like giving that person pain instead. I just wish I knew what to do in a situation like this.

" You have nothing to be sorry about! I'm so sorry about how you are feeling Arsia, are you okay? Did anyone hurt you? " I asked while tightly holding the steering wheel as I could feel my temper start to rise a little bit.

" N-no, I'm not honestly, like am I not enough as a person? I gave and gave and all Ryan did was take and take. And how the hell does he pay me back? B-by me catching him cheating on me. I sensed that he let me go a long time ago, but n-not like this. This makes me feel like a fool for w-wasting all these years with him, do I even have a future now, f-future in happiness and love? What about me is the problem? I want to know, am I so bad to see a future with? " She said as she sniffed her tears.

All I wanted to do was pick her up and comfort her, it was killing me that I couldn't do that. So, I did the next best thing I could and held her hand tightly in mine as I drove with my other hand. She spoke about Ryan like I knew who he was, well except for the fact that he was her boyfriend and now the fùcked up ex.
