Desperado

part 80

This was rushed, don't hate me!

i'm freaking out

gio and i were at the ball getting ready upstairs in one of the rooms together. i could already here people talking from up here.

im pacing around the room, just the thought of joey being a couple feet away from me isn't keeping me at ease.

my hands are starting to sweat and my mind was going to dizzy. i had my makeup done by one of gios friends and all i had to do was put on my dress.

gio was in the bathroom putting his suit on and the dress i'm supposed to be wearing is hanging right in front of me. it was a beautiful red dress, it was tight to the waist then it flowed down at the bottom.

i've worn dresses like this before. joey would touch every inch of my body when i wore dresses like this because he loved them.

"why aren't you dressed?"

gio was now standing by the door ready to go, meanwhile i was on the couch trying to calm down.

"i-i," i take a deep breath, "i- fuck"

i can't even form a sentence because of how stressed out i am. this is joey we're talking about. the man i loved so much, he's waiting downstairs and i know the second he sees me he'll recognize me even with a mask on.

gio sits down next to me and grabs my hand, "do you want to stay here? i'll call you down for the dance then we can leave right away"

i put my head on his shoulder, "are you sure? i don't want to mess anything up"

"i'm sure. i know you're stressed out so i'll call you down when it's your turn. the dance will be 10 minutes and before you know it, we've already left"

i feel somewhat better that i won't be downstairs for the entire night. i cant imagine what i would do alone, all eyes would be on me.

i did like attention, i loved it so much. but when the person you love thinks your dead... it's different. you don't want the attention or the whispers. you'll feel so much power in that second but after it gets nerve racking.

"okay" i breathe

he lifts my chin so i was now looking at him, "don't worry babe"

after what we did last night in the shower together i have this new urge to be wherever gio is. it was like our bodies turned into one, he was so gentle with me and made sure to not go to deep to hurt me. it was the little things he did that made me fall for him even more.

i hated him and he hated me but he still was soft with me. he touched me softly and kissed my neck whenever he could, and i'm glad to say... i made him come again.

i nod and lean in to press our lips together. his soft lips pressed harder against mine, making me part my mouth for him to slide his tongue. forget the ball i want to do him right now.

he pulls away and chuckles, "we can't get carried away"

i frown even though he was right. he has a lot to do and i can't keep him distracted.

his phone starts ringing and he's got a text from someone named thomas

Thomas:
Jamie's in a red dress similar to elenas. wearing a black mask, all eyes are on her.

"what color is your mask?" he ask me

"white" i answer and he nods, shutting his phone and standing from the couch

"this just got a lot easier. start getting ready, our dance will be in 5 minutes now that they know where she is. i'll send ryan to bring you down" he fixes his tie in the mirror
