I Won't Give up.

Chapter 1.

The picture is what Gianna is wearing at the board store. ❤

Gianna's POV.

There I stand. In front of all of these penny boards desperately hoping I could pick one out soon so I can get out of here. But I can't choose. They are all so beautiful.

Suddenly I feel a hand on the back of my neck right above my shoulder blade. I swiftly turn around and I see a worker. He looks about 18. Very attractive with a very chiseled jaw line. Dark brown hair and bright blue eyes.

"Can I help you ma'am? You seem a bit stuck." I hear the deep, manly voice ringing through my ears as I take a step back realizing how close we were.

"Yeah. Do you have a-any neon color boards? Or m-maybe some in the back?" I manage to breathe out.

"Yeah, sure. Follow me, we have some that I think you might like." He says as he scratches the back of his neck.

As we make our way to the back of the store, we come across a door that sloppily says "Employees only." As he walks through the door I stop in my tracks. For some reason I was thinking I could possibly get in trouble if I step behind this door. He notices that I'm not behind him and he turns around slightly giggling. He walks back through the door and grabs my hand. As he does this, I feel millions of goosebumps crawl their way up my arms making the hair stand up. "Remember, I work here." He says, still smiling. I peel my eyes off the ground and look up at his beautiful face and stick on a smile.

Still holding on to my hand, he pulls me into the back. I look around and see what seems like thousands of boards. This is like a dream come true. I have been riding since I was around 10 and now I'm 18 so I am used to it.

He stops in front of a rack of neon boards. Theres pink and green and yellow. And more.

We both look at our entwined hands and both quickly let go. As he stuffs his hands into his khaki pockets I see a shade of bright red pink shuffle across his cheeks. I feel my cheeks getting hotter and I know that I'm blushing but I can't stop myself from staring at him. So I don't look away. I snap out of my trance as I hear "You have a beautiful smile. Can I ask your name?" "Gianna. Um Gianna Moretti." I say slowly but steady.

"Italian huh? Me too. My name is Dario." I, for some reason, giggle and bite my bottom lip.

He looks at me with this look in his eyes, then slowly looks away at the stacks of boards. "So do you see one you like?" He slowly says then looks back at me. "Yeah, that one is pretty cool." I say raising my shaking finger up to a bright blue board with neon green wheels. He shifts his body reaching as far up as he could making his shirt lift up off of his tan skin revealing his v-line right above where his pants are.

I feel myself staring but I can't tear my eyes apart from his lower stomach peeking through his shirt.

I hear him grab the board and I see his shirt go down making his stomach no longer visible, yet I still can't pull my eyes off of his body. Then I hear his voice. "Is this the one you pointed at?" He says softly giggling, noticing me staring.

I tear my eyes off of his tan, fit waist and look into his eyes. I see him smiling big and looking at me. "U-um, I'm sorry." I stutter out. "No worries." He says still smiling and holding out the board to me.

I quickly grab it and look down. "H-how much is it?" "That one is $109.99. But if you look in your pocket there is a coupon in there for a free penny board. You got it in the mail the other day." He says with his perfect, deep voice. "I-I uhh..um." I stutter nervously. "Just go along with it." He whispers in my ear with a wink. I smile confidently and say clearly, "Thank you."
