Simplicity

Chapter Ten

Santino's POV

I had never known someone as beautiful as her, everything about her makes me curious.

Ms. Sinclair is one of a kind. My kind of woman. She's hard to impress. I thought the flowers would make her loosen up but I guess not.

Maybe, I'm not her type but then again who wouldn't want me? I have everything a woman wants in a man.

I won't give up yet because I'll have her eventually.

Seeing her today caught me off guard, I normally rehearse what I want to say to her but she just left me speechless. Something about her today was different.

Her hair was different, she looked amazing. It was out and it fitted her face structure perfectly.

My sister seemed to like her that's good. She kept talking about how they were going to hang out soon.

I was starting to get jealous because of how much I wanted to be in her presence but I'll get my chance soon.

I decided to change the topic from her because I was irritated.

"Mom's birthday coming up, I'm thinking we could get her a dog. You know how she always wanted one." I suggested.

She looks at me and starts smiling.

" That's perfect, she always told Dad she wanted one but he never got a chance to get it, maybe it'll take her mind off things to keep her distracted." She says looking back at the menu.

"Yeah, I guess " I muttered. Looking at the waterfall in the restaurant

" So you and Amana," she says inquiring something.

" What about her" I replied with a blank expression.

" You seem into her" She looks at me with a cheeky grin.

" What makes you think that" I said acting confused, I thought no one else would notice but Ms. Sinclair.

" C'mon tino, don't act stupid now. The tension between you two is high." She states with a knowing look.

" Alright alright, I might be into her." I finally admit with a smile. maybe too into but I don't think she minds.

" I knew it, so why are you not pursuing her? " Gia raised her eyebrow with a confused expression.

" Believe me, I've tried and tried but she's not accepting it. She thinks it's inappropriate." I tell her, mocking what, ms Sinclair told me.

" Mhm, we'll I think you two would be perfect together but I think she'll like me better. " Gia says sipping on her tea with a creepy-ass smile.

" yeah, whatever," I tell her not liking her trying to be friends with Sinclair.

*****

A couple of hours later, I and Gia finally arrived home after dinner.

She told me a little bit about her new modeling gig. She seems very happy and excited about it.

I'm very proud of my sister. She's finally doing something that she loves.

Gia is going out tomorrow to get Mom's birthday present since her birthday is this Sunday.

Mom doesn't like parties and with everything happening with our dad I don't think she'll be up for it.

So we're getting her a dog, so she can have a little bit of company and be distracted.

Gia had gone to sleepy already, she said she was tired.

The dogs followed her around the whole time. They decided to stay in her room tonight.
