Continuation of Lip balm
At the gala, both Y/N and Alessandro were busy talking to different people. Y/N was talking to close friends and Alessandro was talking to future business partners. So they didn't really get to spend time together until dinner came out.
Y/N pov:
The dinner was amazing, the dinner table was this 100-metre-long table filled with people and Alessandro and I sat next to each other at the head of the table. The food was absolutely to die for, we started with a little bit of sushi for appetisers then we went for huge bowls of pasta and then we finished with some and cannoli. It was the first time Alessandro and I really talked to each other, so we didn't talk to the other people at the table also we didn't really know who they were.
"Here princess, try some of this," Alessandro said as he fed me some of his pesto pasta.
"Mmm that's really good," I said.
"How are things going tonight, I feel like I haven't spoken to you?"
"Yeah it's going well, I haven't really spoken to Angelina, Elena and Lunas for a while so it's quite nice."
"I'm glad you're happy then."
After dinner, Alessandro and I stayed together and chatted with close friends of ours until I got a bit thirsty.
"Hey bear."
"I'm just going to grab a drink at the bar, just for a few minutes."
"No you stay here, keep talking and I'll get you a drink".
"OK then you know my order."
"I'll be back soon."
I keep talking to my friends when I hear the voice of someone I thought I had left behind.
"Y/N, is that you?"
I turn to see my ex-boyfriend Max standing there.
"What are you doing here?" I ask, very surprised to see him.
"Come on, are you still mad at me?"
"Just leave me alone Max.".
"Feisty as always, I love it."
This guy is literally the worst. We started dating when we were 16 and it was the worst year of my life. This guy cheated on me, tried to rape me and did all the wrong things you can do in a relationship.
I just turned around, hoping he would get the picture, when I felt his hand snake around my waist.
"Stop it. Get off me," I say as I push his arm away and then push him back.
"No need to get physical now, babycakes. We can save that for later."
"Save what for later," a deep voice says. I turn to see Alessandro holding two drinks in his hands, looking pissed.
"Ahh Alessandro. So it is true that you are going out together. How sweet," Max says, which is very embarrassing for him as everyone is afraid to say anything to me, let alone insult me and Alessandro at the same time.
"Leave her alone."
"Ok, ok, no need to get upset about it," Max said, raising his arms innocently and walking away.
I dropped your head and let out a sigh.
"Hey Princess," Alessandro says calmly, lifting my chin up, "here, drink some of this."
I take a sip. I feel trapped. Being in the same room with him again makes me feel like he is going to try something again.
"I think I will go to the bathroom to freshen up," I say, finishing my drink and handing the empty glass to a waiter.
