Dark Chocolate: A BWWM Story

🥀Chapter 22: Along Came The Devil 🥀

~ Giovanni's POV~
Today was a normal day as usual, me and Amirah sat in my office looking over paperwork and emails.

"Amirah." I said he name softly as she turned and looked me, "yeah?" She asked and gaze was on my eyes as well.

"About yesterday, I'm sorry about my father and my family. I didn't know they were coming...I really do apologize for not being able to take you on a date and you having to make dinner instead." I apologize to her, I hated that such a big inconvenience could come right as we made plans to enjoy each other's company.

"It's fine Gio," she said with a smile. "Your family is very nice, except for you father, but they're all amazing." She spoke with a smile.

"Well as long as your happy, then I happy too." I told her with a smile, I got up from my chair as I stood over her my hand grazed her soft cheek.

Our faces inched closer to one another, our eyes gazing into each other's, Amirah's beautiful brown eyes made me melt.

~KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

We stopped as we were taken aback by a knock, we looked one another and walked out the room. The knocking continued at the front door as we walked down, my hand was on my waistband as my finger touched the gun that resided there.

I carefully pushed Amirah back, as I carefully opened the door. My eyes became wide, "what the-."

There she stood, the girl from the beginning of everything. Her black hair, those green eyes with a catlike look, and prolific face.

I couldn't speak or say much of anything, all I could say was...

"Selena?"

~Amirah's POV~
I was confused, when Giovanni opened the door, there was a woman there. She was honestly gorgeous, Giovanni didn't say a word it was like he was frozen in place.  His face held concern and almost a little bit of fear.

"Hello Gio~." She said with a big smile, as her red lipstick shone in the sun behind her.

"H-hey Selena... I haven't seen you in a while." He said as he tried not to make eye contact.

"Yes, it has been quite a while since we've seen each other." She said as place her hand on her face, as she eyed him up and down.

Her eyes fall off him and turn to me, he face suddenly changes from charming to dangerous as her green eyes seemed change colors. "And who might you be?" She asked in a condescending way, while place a fake smile on her face.

I already don't like her...

Giovanni came out her trance as he said,"oh this-."

"I'm Amirah." I said smiling, cutting Giovanni off before who could finish.

"Well... Amirah- what are to Giovanni."

"I'm-."

"She's a special friend to me." He said interrupting.

Only a friend...

To hear those words made her frown curve into a sickly sweet smile, "well any friend of Giovanni, is a friend of mine." She smiles cynically at me.

"Yeah, friends." I said as I walked out and back up the stairs.

I clenched my jaw in anger, a friend... Really!?

~Giovanni's POV~
I watched as Amirah stormed up the stairs, as I felt a ping of guilt.

Why did I say that!?
