Loving you

Gianni

I left Gianni sitting by the rushing blue waterfall and head back down to the party. I feel like my life should have taken a drastically different approach after that point but deep down I knew I had been anticipating the very moment.

When I reach the party it's quietened down but there is no less people. I see Gianni's mom from across the garden and she gives a little wave while I keep a look out for Jack. He's sitting at a table full of girls with his arm around one, looking like quite the bachelor. "Hi Jack." I smile taking a seat to the left of him. The tables full of empty bottles and even more empty glasses.

"Hi, where have you been? You were away for a while." He asks quite sternly looking around the table at the other girls who are laughing.

"I was just thinking... Can we talk. Alone?" I ask not wanting everyone to hear my business.

"No no it's fine hear. The girls won't say anything."

It takes me a minute to get my courage up and by this point he's staring at me. "I don't think this is going to work out. I've been thinking and we're just not right for each other. I'm grateful for having this time though." I say smiling at him. I didn't want to make it awkward or make him hurt but realistically it hadn't been long we had been seeing each other.

"Or someone changed your mind about me." He stops "I mean a lot of us know Gianni... people talk you know that right. Bye Jasmine" He smirks turning around and kissing the girl on his right who he had his arm around. For a few seconds i waited and the kiss just got deeper so I decided to leave. I think it was too early for me to actually have genuine feelings for Jack but when I saw the way he reacted I knew he wasn't the right person.

When I leave the table I see Gianni's mom begin to walk towards me but I act as if I hadn't seen her because at this moment I just want to go home. Nothing against her, this day has just been long and something I'm not used too.

When I get home the house is quiet. It's not too late maybe 10pm. I check in on Gigi and she's lying asleep wrapped in a thin blanket with light yellow pyjamas on. I turn on her nightlight that glows a dim peachy colour and leave the room closing the door behind me. I look in on my mom and she's asleep too just lying on top of the bed with her hair still wet, she must have showered. I close her window and room door behind me. I take off my jacket hanging it up and putting my shoes at the side of my room door and close the door behind me. When I turn round there's a long tall figure on my bed and first of all I jump back being scared but then I notice it's Gianni. He's got a different outfit on now. Grey sweatpants and a white T-shirt, lying on the the bed with no shoes on looking over at me. "Gianni! You scared me." I say moving away from him. I pull out some pyjamas for myself from a drawer and open the closet door to block myself from him.

"I didn't mean too... I thought you'd know I would be here. Your mom let me in." He smiles patting on the bed beside him. I don't go over straight away and he pulls back the duvet and pats on the sheets for me to get in.

I close the closet door and sit on the bed beside him. I feel nervous about this, about being around Gianni even though I've been in the same bed as him before. "You dont seem as drunk." I laugh pulling a blanket up to my chin.

"I sober up quick. I got an Uber here. I thought you would already have been here." He exclaims lying his head down on the pillow.

"Hmm I see... well should we talk now?"I ask curling my knees up.

"We don't need to talk. We've always had this feeling. I've always had this feeling since you kissed me the first day we met. Let's carry on as we should have then? We can keep pushing each other away Jas."  smiles Gianni opening his arms up to me.

I move to him lying in his arms feeling his chest under me. He seems so calm but I can hear his heart racing, he sounds as anxious as I feel. "Okay. Let's do that." Before I drift off to sleep I lean up and kiss his lips. No worry of what someone else might think. Just us.
