Purity

Chapter 5

I patiently sat down waiting for my flight to be called, I was in no rush anyway. 

I knew I would just be sitting down at home like an idiot waiting for that other idiot to show up and stay true to his promise. 

I always got my hopes up to have it all come crashing down. 

I strongly wanted to believe that Gio would put in his part of us reconnecting but he obviously was leaving it all to me. 

I sighed in frustration.

Atleast I was going to see my mother who I hadn't seen in such a long time.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and sharply turned around to see Giovanni's handsome face.

I gave him a dirty look and turned back around to show him my anger. 

He walked around until he was facing me and kneeled down to give me a flower with a beautiful peachy orange color. 

"I really do care about this and catching up, I just got carried away with arrangements for Italy. Believe me, Bella. Now let's go, please", he sincerely said. 

I carefully looked at him before nodding and getting up. 

A plane ride with him would be a lot faster anyway. 

I reached for my suitcase but he got there quicker and began to drag it towards the exit. 

----------------------------------------

I slept through the entire plane ride just to avoid awkward conversation with Gio.

I awoke with the feeling of a soft, gentle hand caressing my face and I sleepily opened my eyes. 

Giovanni was looking at me with a look I could not quite describe but it was affiliated with regret and sorrow. 

"We're here", he said with a small smile heavy with downcast emotions.

I nodded and stood up to grab my suitcase. I felt his arms circle around me and I allowed myself to lean into him. 

He moved the hair carefully away from my ear and murmured the delicate words "I'm sorry". 

Next thing I knew, he was pressing a handkerchief against my nose and everything turned black. 

Hello, to the few but appreciated people who read my story. It's going to get good soon but yeah, I've been grounded for a while hence why I haven't updated but I'm going to work on it. Enjoy!
