His Donna

CHAPTER 21

Rachel's POV

The car ride home was awkward, I didn't know how to act so I just held on to my flowers.

I guess getting to know Gio was a bad idea because I'm now reconsidering being in this relationship.
It's possible he raped her and that for me is a deal breaker.

"I'm sorry I ruined our night" he murmured eyes still fixed on the road.
"Okay" I hesitantly replied, I just want to be home with Maria and a bottle of wine, this night took a turn for the worst.

We got to the apartment and he parked in front of the house, I got ready to leave the car but he grabbed my hand subconsciously making me face him, I raised my eyebrow in question.
"Goodnight" he said kissing the back of my hand.
"Goodnight Gio" I responded now finally leaving the car and walking into the house.

I went straight to the cellar, got a bottle of wine and headed to Maria's room.

I opened the door without knocking and walked in on her and London about to do it.

Seriously didn't she say I quote 'it's never happening again' .

"Umm hey.. you're back early?" She asked looking at me and I'm sure she could tell I came here to vent.
London on the other end was already getting dressed and scurried out the room with his T-shirt in hand.

I turned to look at Maria and she looked as if she was trying to find the right words to say and to be completely honest  I really don't give a fuck.

"I'm not judging" I said opening the wine bottle.
"I was bored and he came with a tempting offer,thank god you showed up" she said rolling her eyes as she got dressed.
"Why are you here,what did lover boy do this time" she asked seemingly uninterested and overall bored with Gio's bullshit.

I filled her in wanting to hear her opinion on the matter.
"Hectic" she said with a disgusted face.
"This might just be a dealbreaker,no way in hell would you want to have a future with a rapist,I mean what if you have a daughter with this guy then what?, are you willing to spend the rest of your life in constant fear that your daughter might be victimized by your own husband?" she asked adding on to what I was initially thinking.

"I wish there was a way we can find out exactly what happened that night" I sighed and took a sip of my wine.

"Also it's weird that he didn't really do much to try and find out what actually happened,only a guilty person would want to bury that chapter and move on" she added confirming my suspicion.

"Gio is proving to more shadier than we thought" she continued taking the bottle from my hand.
"You can't always drink away your problems plus you have work tomorrow" she said looking at my exhausted face.

"You're right getting drunk won't solve this problem" I replied getting off her bed.
"Goodnight and sorry for cockblocking you" I teased giving her a side hug.
"No you saved me" she chuckled and with that I left her room.

Walking into Gio's room I undressed and went to bed in my underwear,whoever cleaned up the mess I left did me a huge favour.

I woke up late today hence why I'm close to loosing my shit with Auther's slow pace worse I didn't even have breakfast.

I called Keith to check whether Mrs Green is already at the office and to my disappointment she's already there.
She is usually late on Mondays but the one time I'm late she gets in early,
I'm clearly not fate's favourite person because what the hell.
