DANTE'S POV

" You've got to be silent ...my boyfriend doesn't know that I'm drinking tonight" she giggles closing her mouth with her tiny hands.
"Alright, mia bella," I murmurs, my gaze fixed on hers. "I'll keep your secret. But let's get you out of this fountain so we can have a proper conversation without being overheard."
" Mhmmm.... whyy...I like it here"
I stands there, leaning against the fountain wall, watching her sing drunkenly. A small smile tugs at the corners of my lips as I take in the sight of her, drunk and carefree. Despite the situation, there's a hint of tenderness in my gaze.

She stops singing and takes deep breath ..she looks at me widening her eyes and bursts into tears .My eyes widen as I watches her suddenly break into tears. My protective instincts kick in, and I quickly step closer to her, my arms instinctively reaching out to steady her.
"Whoa, mia cara, what's wrong?" I ask, concern lacing my voice as I look at her with a mixture of worry and affection.
" Did you know??" ..
" Know what Bella??"
" Ia...Ian Somerhalder...is married " she cries harder .. making me bite back my smile .I blink, a bit taken aback by the sudden change in topic. I manage a chuckle, amused by her drunken ramblings.

"Yes, mia cara, I did know that Ian Somerhalder is married," I say, a slight smile still on my lips. "Why do you ask?"
" That means ..he is taken ...and ..." She sobs ...with small hiccups ...I'm sure she'll suffer from cold by tomorrow....ughh..and god help me I should not let her touch even a drop of icecream and cake tomorrow..which are equal to attempting to take my own life ...
" It's okay bella ...come here baby ..I'm begging you" .she nods wiping her tears.
I effortlessly lift her out of the fountain, holding her in bridal style. I can feel the weight of her body in my arms, and I adjust my grip so that I can carry her comfortably.

"Let's get you somewhere more comfortable and dry, mia cara," I murmur, my voice soft and tender as I carriy her away from the fountain.
" ...I want him so bad ....I can't live without my Damon Salvatore... ofcourse I'm ready to adjust with Iann " she sobs harder clutching my shirt.My heart aches as I listen to her cry harder in my arms. I hold her closer to me, trying to comfort her through her tears.I kiss her forehead affectionately.
"Shhh, mia bella," I soothe, my voice gentle. "I understand. It's okay. He's taken, but that doesn't mean you can't find happiness, too."

" And ...Aaron Warner too!!"
I chuckle again, shaking my head slightly as she continues to mention celebrities that are already taken.
"Let me guess... Aaron Warner is also taken, right?"  a mixture of amusement and affectionate concern in my voice.
" I love him and ... he's fictional..." ..her lower lip curled out making me hard to resist to bite her plump lip .
I let out a low chuckle at her drunken ramblings.

"Ah, so he's not real, huh?" I respond, a hint of playful humor in my tone. "Well, that's a relief. I'd hate for you to be pining over a man who doesn't even exist."
Her sobs become louder .Seeing her tears, my amusement gives way to concern once again. I tighten my grip around her, my voice filled with tenderness as I speak.
"Hey, hey, mia bella...shh, it's okay," I whisper, trying to soothe her tears. "There's no need to cry. You're safe with me, alright? I've got you."
" I feel so fucking bad ...I'm such a bad person "

" Why do you feel bad bella? Talk to me tesoro"
" Earlier this morning..I jumped into Theodore's arms ..cause I was scared that  a snake touched my leg..."
My lips twitch in amusement as she confess about jumping into Theodore's arms. Despite the situation, there's a hint of jealousy that flares up inside me.
"And you did that... because a snake touched your leg, hm?.Sounds like quite the panic-inducing moment. Bella"

"But it wasn't a snake ! It was just a pipe i mistook it ...I'm so sorry..."
I can't help but laugh softly at her explanation. The tension eases from my shoulders, and a smile spreads across my face.
"Ah, I see. So it was just a pipe, huh? No actual snake involved. I'm glad that you are safe baby ...and ...You are not a bad person bella"
" I feel like ...I betrayed you ..."
I feel her  tremble in my arms. I hold her tightly, my voice gentle and reassuring.
