Love Rival

Chapter 5- Bar fights

I woke up in my hotel bed around 9:00 AM. I woke up to the most beautiful view on my balcony.

The beautiful sunset cascaded across the beautiful ocean. I also had a peaceful sleep and that has never happened. I never got any peaceful nights.

Something then popped into my mind. The guy that saved me. I could've recalled his name was Matteo?

I blush from the memory as I got up. I made my bed, and I got changed. I walked out of my suite to see Nathan standing in front of my door with a bouquet of flowers.

He blushed as he said, "H-hey Davina" he stuttered.

"Hey.." I said smiling, kindly accepting the bouquet of flowers. I smelled the nice, floral scent of the flowers.

"They are beautiful... thank you, Nathan" I said, smiling. I was about to close the door but he stopped me from closing it.

"Nathan?" I said confused on what he has to say. I was also scared if he will pull that awful stunt on the plane.

"Look... I haven't given you a proper apology and explanation on what I did on the plane. I'm so sorry Davina. I shouldn't have done that.. I... I.. I have strong feelings for you Davina and I hope you feel the same for me" he said putting his head down.

I sighed and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Yes you haven't given me a proper apology and explanation and thank you for your proper apology and explanation. I accept your apology but I'm sorry Nathan I don't feel the same way. Your a great friend though who I hope to cherish forever. Thank you for your honesty though"

He gave me a sad smile then nodded. I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"I'll see you later" I said walking down the marble staircase leading me into the lobby.

I froze as I saw my father. He stood there crossing his arms over his chest glaring at me. I think he is still pissed over the past events that happened. I looked away as I walked up to my bodyguard.

"We are going to have breakfast at this nice restaurant. Please get in the car" my dad said walking into his car.

I got into one of the cars, and buckled my seatbelt. I sat back into my seat looking at the window, again.

Who was that boy? He was really hot, I thought. I grabbed out my phone and opened Instagram. I searched the name 'Matteo Costello' and nothing popped up. Hm, strange. Maybe he doesn't have Instagram or any social media platforms?

I put my phone away in my purse. We finally arrived to the restaurant. I got out and closed the car door. I walked into the little diner and it was cute. It was neat, simple, and decent. You can see the beach from here.

My dad, bodyguards, and I walked to a table outside on the patio in front of the ocean. A waiter then came up to our table to take our orders.

We placed our orders. We sat in a silence. My dad is always like this, especially in restaurants. Our food finally came. I ordered something plain and simple. I ordered pancakes.

While we are eating, my dad looked behind and me and chocked on his food. He dropped his fork as well. My bodyguards stepped closer to my dad to check if he was alright. I looked behind me to see... Matteo. The boy that saved me. He was with his family.

"Why are they here!?" My dad yelled out, causing some tables near him to look at what the sudden outburst was.

"It's a public restaurant?" I said taking a bite of my pancake. My dad glared at me.

"Why are you freaking out over that family!? They are just a nice family eating breakfast as well." I said taking a sip of my orange juice.

"Just ignore them please" I said looking at my dad in the eyes. He sighed then nodded. We finished eating, as my dad got up.

"Stay here or you can walk around the beach. I need a drink" my dad says approaching the bar. A drink in the morning!? Yep. That's my dad.

I went to the beach. I loved how the warm sand felt on my feet. I love the ocean breeze and the sound of the peaceful waves.

While I was walking, I found someone snaking their hand around my waist. I squeaked in terror, as I heard a husky voice chuckle.

"No worries, bellissima. It's me" Matteo said, smirking.

I smiled at the sight of him. "Sorry I thought you were someone else"

He grabbed ahold of my hand, walking away with me. "No need to apologize, love"

I got butterflies. We then walked by each other, in a comfortable silence.

"Hey, you thought I was someone else? Who did you think I was?" He asked concerned, his grip on mg hand getting tighter.

I look at him then said, "No one.. really.."

"Is anyone else hurting you love?" He said. He clenched his jaw and his knuckles were turning white.

"No! No! Trust me no one is!" I said letting go of his hand. He then relaxed under my grip.

We fell back into a comfortable silence. Well now it was a bit uncomfortable because of what happened. All I heard was the sound of crashing waves and someone running behind me.

I turn to look what the sound was and it was Nathan.
"Davina!!" He yelled out.

"Nathan!? What's going on!? Everything alright?"
I said, letting go of Matteo's hand. Sadly.

"Who's this?" Nathan said, glaring at Matteo. Matteo looked at Nathan and said, "Matteo Costello, pleasure to meet you"

Nathan kept glaring at Matteo. Matteo kept smirking at him. I grabbed Nathan's hand making his eyes move to look at mine. "What's going on?!" I said.

"Your dad got into a bar fight" Nathan said. I gasped and ran off. Nathan and Matteo ran after me, following my tracks.

I arrived at the restaurant and ran into the bar. I saw my dad throwing punches at a guy. I grabbed my dads shoulder pulling him away. The guys face was all bloody.

"What's all this commotion!?" I shouted out. My dads face was red with anger. Matteo rushed in then shouted, "Dad!? What the hell!?"

Matteo grabbed his dads shoulder and got him up. I then heard a lady yell out a cry. "Alexandro!?"

The lady glared at us and grabbed Matteo. "Leave me and my family alone" she said. A girl around my age ran up to the crying woman and grabbed her shoulder.

"Mom.. what's happening?" She said, looking at us.

I looked at the girl then looked back at Matteo. I raised an eyebrow while looking at Matteo. Matteo looked at me and shrugged.

"No! This bitch owes me something!" My dad said getting closer to Alexandro.

"Dad!" I yelled out. My dad started to sob.

"He is responsible for my wife's death!" My dad yelled out leaving everyone silent. That was the first time he mentioned my moms death.

"W-what!?" I quietly stuttered out which came as a whisper. I look at Matteo with teary eyes. My dad grabbed my arm leading me out of the diner.

"Let's go" he said not letting go of my arm.

"And I don't want you talking to that boy again" my dad said getting in the car.

The car drove off, leaving all of us silent from the previous events. But.. was Matteo's family actually responsible for my mother's death? I wanted to ask my father but he was in fiery.

I looked at the window and wondered 'Were they actually responsible for my mother's death?'
