What You Wanted (A OneRepublic Fanfic)

Chapter 21- Say Something

Ryan's P.O.V

"Wow Gen! You look amazing!" I said as I walked over to her and hugged her.

As our bodies made contact, I felt a small spark shoot through my body. Oh no!

"Wow Ryan, the years have been good to you." She said smiling at me.

"Thanks. I should say the same to you. You look absolutely amazing!" I said as I held her at arms length. Weirdly enough having Gen in my arms feels really good. I really missed her.

"Thank you." She said smiling at me.

"So what brings you here to Colorado?" I asked as I grabbed my drink from the counter top.

"Oh you know, just scoping out the competition that's all." She answered.

"Competition? What is it that your doing now?" I asked.

"Oh I'm a model." She said smugly.

My eyes widen. And I turn around and Jo's nowhere in sight.

"That's great." I said, faking a smile.

"So what do you do?" She asked as the both of us sat down at the bar stools.

"I'm in a band." I said as I took a sip of my bourbon.

"Really? You never gave up on that dream have you?" She said as she took the drink from my hand and took a sip.

"You know me. I never give up on anything." I smiled at her.

"That's great. What's the name of your band? I think I might have your music." She says as she starts looking through her phone.

"OneRepublic." I said, giving her a smug look.

She looks up at me in shock.

"No way!" She says in shock.

"Way."

"Oh my god! No. Way!"

"Uh. Way!" I answered, starting to smile at her.

After about fifteen minutes of catching up, she turns to me and asks,

"So Ryan, are you seeing anybody?"

"Yeah I am. And you?" I asked nonchalantly.

"No. Not really. I mean, I'm seeing this guy, but I don't think it's serious." She answers and I felt a sudden relief wash over me.

No. I can't still have feelings for her can't I? Shit this can't be good. I'm in love with Jo. Fuck! This is just so confusing this really can't be good.

"Who's the mystery girl in your life?" She asked and right on queue, Jo walks in with her hair down, running her fingers through it, walking towards us.

"Hi there handsome, I missed yo- who's this?" She asked as she noticed Genevieve sitting across from me.

For a moment, I think I saw Gen's face twitched a little.

"This is Genevieve, an old friend from high school." I said, trying not to panick.

Having my ex girlfriend and my current girlfriend in the same room is getting really awkward.

"Actually, I'm his ex girlfriend. And you are?" Genevieve corrected me.

Jo's face went from comprehension to utter shock.

"I-I'm his girlfriend." She squeaked out."

"Hmm so you're the new girl." She said with a fake smile.
