The Girl Who Cried Boyfriend

Chapter 2: The Fitting

I did't answer many of their questions. At one point it got a bit more ridiculous when my mom started to ask for the man's measurements. I am still trying to understand the reasoning of.

This lie is getting out of hand and I can't take any of it back because my family is stubborn and regardless of what I say they will assume that there is some truth in the lie.

On the bright side, I haven't been pestered for a couple of days. I am hoping my family got over it and just believed that I will talk or even bring him home when  I am ready. I also was becoming a couch potato. I mean I have always been one but its been a while since I lay back on our living room sofa with a blanket and watching nonstop reruns of Friends.

"Did he break up with you already?" 

In shock, I accidentally dropped my bowl of chips and instantly glared at my intruder.

"Not like it is any of your business, Gio, but I am just enjoying a day for myself."

"You're a model. Shouldn't you be off exercising or actually modeling," Gio leaned against the sofa and looked over at me as I tried to pick up the mess I made.

"You're a business man, shouldn't you be off actually doing work instead of bothering your sister," I grunted as I right myself from crouching on the floor and place the now sad chips on the coffee table. I haven't moved an inch for a couple of hours already so my muscles were a bit stiff. 

Gio ignored me as he went around the sofa to lounge were I have been currently residing. I sat on the edge of the sofa where is legs are resting.

 "Did something happen?" He said with real concern. 

I sighed, "Nothing happened," Like ever. "All is well."  He nodded his head but was still calculating of what could be wrong. We watched the television for a few moments in silence. 

Honestly, I have been feeling the guilt of leading my family on. They only want my happiness and they all knew I have been feeling lonely in the past year or so especially when Tina moved out. I have always had everyone close to me, even though they are here everyday, it just isn't the same of how it used to be. Maybe it is just all in my head.

My bother is the goofball in the family. He lives every situation to the fullest and always has an input in things. He can be a very serious man if he wants to be and really he rather act like an idiot. He is also a traditional player, always having a different girl in his arms. 

Tina and I stumbled upon his biggest secret a few years ago of how he is in love with Daniella Moss. Truthfully, they would be an amazing couple. But it seems that Daniella doesn't feel the same for him so he never tried to pursue her. He also believe it won't work out and would didn't want to ruin the friendship that we all have together. 

I guess you can say that Gio is Ross from friends, but with more of a bachelor status, no where near awkward, and disgusting as he also reached for the fallen chips which I slapped his hand away cause really those chips went way past the five-second-rule.

At that moment my phone buzzed, I answered without reading the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Where are you? You are late for the final fitting." Daniella said or more like shouted. It is nearing her wedding and she is becoming a bit of a break down bridezilla.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Dani. I totally forgot." My brother sat up from his seat when he heard her name. "I'll be there in a second."

"You better be," and she hung up with no bye. Classic Daniella.

"Is it more wedding stuff?" Gio asked with an unmasked sadness in his eyes.

"It's never to late, you know. You can still confess your feelings." I said to Gio with hope. Tina and I really want them to be together, more Tina then me though. Its a best friend thing where she wants the best friend to be legally related what I would have wanted as well but we don't have enough boys in this family.
