Desperado

part 79

This is probably the longest chapter i've ever wrote! Hope you like ❤️

the ball wasn't until tomorrow and gio woke me up early so we can go out and have some fun.

i've never heard of panama city but he says it's his favorite place to visit. i was hoping we'd go to the beach or maybe walk around the city for a while but he said he wants to take me to the place he loves the most, the zoo.

gio likes visiting the zoo? i was honestly amazed that he told me that it was his favorite place, probably because he believes in reincarnation.

my dad use to take me to the zoo all the time when i was a kid. the last time i went i was about 9 years old, so it's been a really fucking long time since i went.

"sunscreen?" the lady ask gio and i as we walk in the doors of the zoo

she smiles at us with the blue sunscreen in her hand, "it's only 5 dollars!"

gio takes the sunscreen from her and gives her a 10 dollar bill. he pulls me to the corner and opens the bottle, "she won't leave us alone till we purchased it, there is like 50 of them around here"

"it's only 5 dollars, sunscreen is usually expensive" i tell him

"sunscreen is not expensive" he shakes his head

"yes it is" i watch him put sunscreen on his arms, "they're usually 40 dollars"

his eyes widen, "40 dollars? where are you getting your sunscreen babe"

i smile when he calls me babe, "at the store? sophia gets sun burnt really easily and i usually have to buy her this specific lotion for it"

"move your hair" he says

i grab my hair tie from my wrist and tie my hair in a low bun, he puts the bottle to my cheek and squirts the lotion on my face. i lift my hand to rub it into my skin but he stops me.

"let me do it" he suggests, i nod

his hands gently massage my face and i almost fell asleep at how good it felt.

i didn't even check the spf it has in it. what if i break out? no i can't break out, my skin is finally starting to clear up, are his hands even clean?

"what's wrong?" he ask

i look up in his eyes, it always felt foreign looking in blue eyes. i was so use to see joeys dark green ones or lexis brown ones.

i feel that blue eyes are so different then any other color. gio isn't the first person i've seen with blue eyes but his are definitely ones that i always seem to get lost in. they were so beautiful.

"nothing" i answer

"you're worried, i can tell by the look on your face" he's now holding my cheeks in the palm of his hands

"what if i break out?" i whisper like it's some crime and he smiles

a big smile that shows the dimples in his cheeks, wow he was breathtaking. "you won't break out beautiful, if you do i'll sue them"

he lets go of my face and brings his hand next to mine, interlocking them together. "let's go"

i follow his footsteps and keep my eyes on our hands. was he holding my hand... in public? why was he holding my hand?
