Loving you

Chapter 37

Alice's Pov:

I wake up at noon and find an empty house again. Huh that's right he went to have a meeting with Luciano today. I guess I'll go to the park today, I feel like looking at the ducks. I do my morning routine and change into jeans and a simple white t-shirt. I put my hair into a high ponytail and put on lip balm. I put on my shoes and get my purse then walk out.

When I get to the park I walk to the bench next to the pond. I smile at the ducks and remember when I was a kid, mom and dad always took me to the park to play and feed the ducks. I take out a bag of bread in my bag and start to rip piece bye piece then throw it to the ducks. There was one really big duck it was really cute I just wanted to hug it. Today is a great day, I take a deep breath in and suddenly I hear a voice so very familiar.
"St-" the guy says getting farther and farther away from me
No it can't be him, I turn around to see the backside of the person and a girl who holding on his arm like her life depended on it. I freeze and try to clear my mind and say over and over again it can't be him. He has a meeting with Luciano it's impossible. I try to ignore it but my curiousness gets the best of me, I turn my head and see the same haircut Adriano has and coincidentally they both turned around and I hide but caught a glimpse. I'm shocked what I see, it's him. Tears start streaming down my cheeks that he once kissed. I feel like I'm a fool, I walk back to the apartment.

When I reach his apartment I walk into my room and cry. Everything he said from day one was a lie, I should have never trusted him! Dad was right, never date a guy until you know he's the one. How stupid am I to be fooled by him! I lock myself in my room and start to think if I should go away. I debate with myself and then I hear the front door open.
"Alice I'm home!" He says
He's here... I take a deep breath and pull myself together then walk outside my room. He was smiling but soon faded when he looked at me. The smile on his face soon changed to so many expressions but the one that stood out the most was worry. He walks up to me
"Alice what's wrong? Who did this to you?!" He asks me and I stay quiet
"Alice did Luca come here again?! Did he bother you?! Alice please tell me what's wrong!" He starts to get frustrated
"You" I whisper while looking down
He furrows his brows "What?"
"Where were you today?" I asked him
"At Adams enterprise having a meeting with Luciano" he says
Liar..liar...liar, I smile sadly and say to him "Is that where you really were?"
"Yeah I was there today. Alice what's going on?"
"You know I really thought you were the one Adriano. I really hoped you were the one" I say and chuckle "What a fool I was"
"Alice I don't kno-" his eyes widen and I know he knows what I'm talking about now and I take the opportunity to walk run to my room.
"No no no ALICE! ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK" He says but before he can enter my room I slam the door into his face.
"Alice open up please let me explain, it's not what you think" he bangs on my door
"GO TO HELL ADRIANO!" I scream

I don't say a word to him after that and keep silent while tears dare fall but I bite my lip and try to hold back the tears. He finally gives up and says that he knows I need time to get myself together and retreats to his room. I can't stay here with him I just have go. I start to pack my things and decide to leave at night

***

I leave a note for Adriano on the top of my bed because I don't think I can face him right now. I check first if he was outside and he wasn't so , I took my bags then ran to the front door with tears streaming down my face. Out in the hallway I hit a hard wall but then I look up and its Mario. He looks at me then my bag, his eyes widen
"Hey ally what happened? Why do you have a bag with you?!" He asks me but I can't answer and just cry and hug him. He hugged me back and cooed me like a baby. He walked me out the apartment and into his car, I just keep crying. I don't know where he is taking me but anywhere is better than here at the moment.
"Alice what happened?" He says while keeping his eyes on the road
I cry harder but speak "Adriano happened"
"What did he do?" He asks
"I'll tell you when we stop somewhere or wherever you are taking me. I'm too down" I say, He nods and drives.
