Taste of Love - (Gal Gadot)

24

proceed with caution, this chapter is dark, and disturbing.

they looked at me with love, their jaws dropping as i twirled around in the dress gal had gotten me. i checked myself on the mirror, pointing out every flaw in me that i could find but in that moment i felt flawless, and it was a feeling i never wanted to let go of.

jae and donny laid on my bed, their eyes barely ever leaving the red, cut out dress i had on me. i snapped my fingers, the both of them falling out of their dazed stare, back into reality.

"you look insane"

"in a good way?" i asked, biting my lip, feeling myself tense up.

"in the best way." donny replied back, winking before placing a kiss on jae's forehead.

i smiled toothlessly, finding myself getting lost in what was in front of me. both donny and jae had made their relationship official a month ago and to say the very least? i was stunned, taken aback, as i didn't expect both of them to be in any romantic involvement for multiple reasons.

firstly, and most importantly, they were opposites, and i firmly believe opposites do not attract, but oddly enough, they are perfect for each other. with jae being rebellious, outspoken, and frankly, very fucking blunt, there's donny, whom is probably just as rebellious, but is well reserved.

i only find out of their relationship yesterday night, as donny came over, bringing in beer and pizza whilst we binge watched Harry Potter for the remainder of the night, but as i was started to get sleepy, donny paused the movie, putting his beer to the side, as he turned to face me, and in that moment, i just knew something was up.

"hey, why'd you do that?" i whined, shoving a pillow towards donny's face after the movie was put on pause.

"because, we need to talk." donny replied back, his voice not as vibrant, not as joyful as it always was.

i turned to face him, analyzing him, his body language was concerning, he was tapping his fingers on his lap, which caused me to place my hand on top of his fingers stopping him immediately.

"you do that when you're either anxious or upset."

"damn it, sarah." donny cursed underneath his breath, rubbing the temple of his forehead before placing his attention back on me. "i wish i never told you that."

"even if you wouldn't have, i would still know something is up, you're tense, and it's starting to worry me, are you okay?" i asked, tilting my head to the side, as my heartbeat started to arise.

"y-yeah, i'm good, i'm great actually, i don't remember the last time i've been happier than i am right now, lately everything in my life has been going wonderfully, but there's something i haven't told you."

i was never good with someone needing to speak to me, my anxiety always convinced me it was something down right bad, if not completely horrible, and my mind would start creating these scenarios where i'd be feeling anything but peaceful.

"don't scare me like that, donny." i started off, my face falling, as the sleepiness i once felt minutes ago, had been replaced with this adrenaline that was aggressively pumping me up.

donny opened his mouth, but was cut off due to his phone ringing, my eyes darted towards the phone that laid on the table right beside me. the contact name "jae" was shown, and donny immediately picked up the phone, his once fallen face turning into a vibrant smile as he accepted the call.

"hi baby"

"baby?" i questioned, part of me feeling a sense of relief as it wasn't anything dangerous, but the other part.... was a mix of emotions, and feelings.
