Amore Inaspettato

Capitolo 25

I am SOOO sorry about not updating in forever. I've been crazy and stressed prepping for school. It's coming up fast and I still have so much to do. Hope you like the chapter 💛💛

Ginevra stood next to Vitto as they stood around a group of their friends. Well mainly his friends, she could honestly care less about any of these people. "You all right?" Vitto whispered in the girl's ear.

"Yeah. Just tired," Ginevra smiled. Vitto wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to his body. The two had grown a lot closer since they started talking. They weren't officially dating but they might as well be. Ginevra wasn't sure if she wanted it official just yet so she was just fine having fun. He was nice and there when she needed him.

Her relationship with her father on the other hand was still astray. Alessio had tried to have a long talk with his daughter but he did most of the talking. As far as she could tell he had remained clean but she was still keeping her distance.

"Look who I brought," Nicco said breaking her from her trance. Ginevra looked up wide-eyed as she saw Cami walking in front of her brother. She had come back early from America. This surprised Ginevra since that's all the girl talked about before she left. Everyone hugged Cami welcoming her back.

"Hey," Cami said walking up to the girl.

"Hey," Ginevra said, "Your back early."

"Yeah. America wasn't exactly what I thought," Cami said.

"I'm gonna head to class," Vitto said catching Ginevra's attention, "I'll see you at lunch. If not I'll meet you by my car after school."

"I'll see you then," Ginevra smiled. Vitto gave the girl a kiss on the cheek before walking away with Carlo and Nicco. She turned back to look at Cami who was giving her a confused look.

"You and Vitto?" Cami asked.

"Yeah," Ginevra said rubbing her arm nervously.

"When did you guys start dating?" Cami asked.

"Oh we aren't dating," Ginevra said, "We're just...having fun."

"I'm glad to see you happy," Cami smiled.

"Thank you," Ginevra smiled back.

Ginevra sat on Vitto's bed doing her math homework. Vitto was laid across the bed beside her. The boy had long finished his homework so he was just scrolling on his phone. "Are you almost done?" Vitto asked looking over at the girl.

"I told you I had a lot of homework," Ginevra said.

"Yeah but I thought you were lying," Vitto said making the girl laugh.

"Why would I lie about that?" Ginevra said.

"I don't know, to trick me," Vitto said, "Can't you take a break?"

"Depends," Ginevra said closing over her book with her notebook holding her place, "What do you have in mind?"

"Mmm," Vitto hummed as he sat up on the bed, "How about this?" Vitto slowly leaned forward to press his lips onto hers. He held the kiss for a few seconds before pulling away. A smile spread across Ginevra's face.

"I think homework can wait," Ginevra said putting her book beside her. She gently pushed Vitto back so that she could straddle his lap. She wasted no time pushing her lips into his. Vitto's hands fell to her hips as he pulled her body closer.

"You're so beautiful, pretty girl," Vitto mumbled against her lips. Vitto trailed light kisses down her neck sending goosebumps across her body. "I could do this forever."

"So could I," Ginevra said as her head dropped to the side giving him more access. Her body leaned into his, needing more of his touch.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Vitto asked pulling back. Ginevra's eyes snapped open as she lifted her head.

"What?" she asked even though she'd heard exactly what he said.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Vitto repeated a wide grin on his face. Ginevra didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected him to ask her that question.

"I...um. I...," Ginevra stuttered. Vitto's smile slowly started to drop.

"Never mind. Forget I asked," Vitto said, "I'm gonna go get something to drink. Do you want anything?" Ginevra climbed off his lap as the boy slid to the edge of the bed.

"Vitto," Ginevra said grabbing his bicep to stop him, "I didn't mean..."

"It's fine," Vitto said, "You don't want to date me."

"No. That's not it," Ginevra said.

"Then what is it?" Vitto asked, "Nicco?"

"What?" Ginevra asked, caught off guard, "What does Nicco have to do with this?"

"I see the way he looks at you Ginevra," Vitto said.

"There is nothing going on between me and Nicco," Ginevra said, "I promise. Plus he's dating Virginia. I'm not getting in the middle of that again. I'm over it and him."

"Then what is it? I thought you liked me?" Vitto asked.

"I do. I do like you," Ginevra assured.

"Then why the hesitation?" Vitto asked.

"I don't know," Ginevra admitted as she looked down playing with her ring, "I guess I'm just scared. The last thing that I had that was even close to a relationship obviously was a disaster. Mine and my dad's relationship is questionable at best. I guess I'm just scared to let anyone else in my life...seems like any time I do I just end up getting hurt."

"Ginevra," Vitto said putting his hands on both of her cheeks. He lifted her face so that they were making eye contact. "I can't promise that our relationship is always going to be perfect. I can't promise that I'm always going to be perfect. But I can promise you that I will never hurt you. You mean too much to be to just throw this away." As Ginevra looked into his eyes she couldn't help but believe every word he said. Maybe she was letting her own doubt get in the way of something that she truly needed. Maybe Vitto was what she needed to finally be happy.

"Yes," Ginevra said.

"Yes?" Vitto questioned.

"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," Ginevra smiled. Like it hadn't left, Vitto's smile instantly returned to his face. Ginevra couldn't help but smile wider as she looked back at her boyfriend. He pulled her face closer placing a passionate kiss on her lips.

"I think this calls for a celebration," Vitto said pulling back, "How about we go out to eat?"

"I could definitely go for some food," Ginevra said.

"Let's go then, girlfriend," Vitto laughed as he stood up holding out his hand.

"All right, boyfriend," Ginevra said grabbing his hand as she stood up beside him. She may have been doubting getting into a relationship, but in this moment she knew she'd made the right choice.
