The gamble of love

Jo's POV

After laying in bed a few more hours, I finally got up and took a shower. I got dressed in shorts and a crop top with my bikini underneath, I straightened my hair and did a light natural make up look. I went out to the deck and grabbed a cigarette, lighting it up, enjoying the warm sun on my face.
"Do you mind if I join you?" I hear a voice behind me making me jump a little. I turn around and meet eyes with Charles. He was holding two mugs of coffee. "Only if one of those are for me?" I ask hinting towards the cups in his hands. He laughs. "Yeah I saw you out here so I made you one aswell." I blush a little, he is so caring. "Thank you." I smiled at him taking the mug. He came to stand next to me, quite closely but I did not mind at all. We watched the ocean. "Have you ever been in Italy?" He asked me breaking the silence. "No, never. This trip is like a dream come true. And also getting to experience it with Carlos makes it so much more special, I've really been missing him alot lately, we grew up very close so it has been difficult being so far away from him." I tell him and he looks at me. "Yeah, I can understand that. It is really hard on us to leave our family behind for the season. It never gets easier." He says. I just nod my head understanding and we fall back in silence, but it wasn't awkward at all. I feel him looking at me and I look at him. Seriously him looking at me like that is not helping the situation with the butterflies that I am feeling in my stomach right now. I smile at him and to my better knowledge reach out and hug him. I mentally slap myself, this is so weird, what will he think of me. But luckily that was not the case as I feel his strong arms wrap around my body. I could get used to this. We stood there as I am breathing in his scent. I could stay right here forever. Shortly after the moment is ruined with someone clearing their throat behind us. I quickly turn around and see Lando looking furious.
"Oh, good morning mate." Charles greets him but Lando ignores him starring right at me. "M-morning Lando" I stutter. Instead of greeting us he turned his head towards Charles. "You should really be careful with this one 'mate'." He says scoffing sarcastically. What the actual fuck is his problem. I feel myself turning red with anger as I watch Lando walking away from us.
"Uhm, what was that about?" Charles asked confused. I see Carlos approaching us, "do mind keeping quiet about this? I will tell you everything tonight." I whisper over to him before Carlos is close enough to hear me, Charles just nods his head looking really confused.
"Good morning big bro" I say to Carlos giving him a hug. "Hey baby sis, slept well?" He asked. "Yeah I did thanks." I say. We talked for a little while before I excused myself from the conversation. I need to find Lando.

Lando's POV

I am raging. I know it's not right of me to act this way but seeing her in his arms made me lose my shit completely. I am currently on the ofher side of the boat sitting near the railing, starring out in front of me when I hear footsteps approaching. I sigh, I am really not in the mood to talk to anyone. I turn around and to my surprise I see Jo walking closer, she looks so mad and I sense a fight coming. I turn back around.
"What the hell, Lando?!" She softly yells yanking my arm to make me face her. "Just drop it" I say completely uninterested in this conversation. "Are you serious? You act like a complete asshole, and expect me to drop it?" She says getting more angry.
"Well what were you expecting?!" I yell back at her, she takes a step back. "Just last night you told me you are not ready for this, then I find you out here in his arms?!" I yell again and she just looks down. "I meant you Lando. I don't have feelings for you anymore!" She yells at me as I see tears form in her eyes. My heart sunk. "It sure didn't seem that way last night when you were busy sucking my face off." I say wanting to hurt her back but as soon as those words left my mouth I regretted it. I hear her gasp.
"You are unbelievable." She whispered, I can hear that she is now crying. I look up and see her busy walking away. I run after her and pulled her arm to spin her around, she looks at me with tears streaming down her face. "Shit, I'm so sorry, I don't know why I said that." I tell her, holding her hand tightly in mine. She doesn't say anything. "Jo, I'm sorry, I got jealous. I had no right to speak to you like that. Please forgive me." I beg her. "It's fine." Is all she said. "It's not fine. I really am sorry." I tell her pulling her into a hug. She hugs me back. "I'll forgive  you this one time." She says attempting to laugh but doesn't really succeed. "Do you have feelings for him?" I ask her. "No, Lan. It was just a hug." She says. I don't really know if I believe her, but I do not want to make things any worse than I already have.
"Mmm" I say laughing and she soon joins me laughing as well. "Let's enjoy the rest of the day, yeah? Common we have not even been in the water since we came here!" I yell and her face lights up.
I give her one last hug quickly. I am so inlove her, but I need to push my feelings aside, she made it clear she doesn't feel the same way.
