The Harsh life

Chapter 27

Giovanni- then
Fuck.

I take the condom off and pull my trousers up quickly.

I rush into the house, putting the condom in the bin then to find Amara.

Jax and my father are stood by their home office, talking.

"She's upstairs." Jax tells me.

I head towards the stairs but he calls after me.

"You should cut this off. She's about to start dating and this is all going to get messy so fast." Jax says and in front of my father, he's so dead.

"What's going on between you and Amara?" My dad asks.

For fuck sake.

"Nothing." I tell him.

"It's a small crush, it'll pass." Jax says and my eyes widen.

I'm literally going to shoot him.

"What the fuck are you playing at?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"We all know you just had sex in the garage. We fucking saw it on the cameras so don't try and act innocent." Jax says. He's a dead man.

If I so much as pulled the shit he's pulling on me now about him and Lara he'd literally kill me.

"Fuck you." I spit.

"Gio if you like her you need to act on it now before she's engaged." My dad tells me.

"To late for that." I roll my eyes and head for the stairs.

When I get to the top of the stairs, Jax's mom is stood there in her long robe.

"Hi, Gio honey, you okay?" She asks and I nod.

I head down the left corridor to  Amara's room.

I knock on her bedroom door but there's no answer. I try the door and it's unlocked.

I head into her room and lock the door behind me.

"Go away." She says.

Her back is to me but she's in bed, in her pyjamas, not an ounce of makeup on her face.

"Amara please I'm sorry." I kick my shoes off and then take all my clothes off except for my boxers and climb in beside her.

We haven't cuddled in a long time. I'm too scared to.

I move close behind her and she sighs, it's a heavy and fed up sigh.

"What's wrong?" I ask stroking her hair.

"You were mean." She tells me.

"I'm sorry." I kiss her shoulder.

She moves away but turns to face me.

"I think this has to stop." The words rip through me. "I need to find a husband, someone who is serious about me and who is going to want to marry me. I can't start a marriage if I'm messing around with someone else." She tells me.

No. No. Shit.

Change her mind.

"Okay." I nod.

What are you doing? FIGHT.

You like her! TELL HER!!!!

"Can I just stay the night and I'll be gone before you wake up and this can all be over." I ask.

I sound needy and desperate but I don't care.

She nods though which is a good sign.

I reach for her and she doesn't give in but she doesn't pull away.
