My Love

XXIII

Serena's pov.

For half of the entire day, I laid in my bed and cried. I couldn't believe he was back. I told him I never wanted to see him again but there he was.

He thinks he can just waltz back into my life and everything would be ok. We would be the perfect couple and I would stay by his side.

He is wrong. I have gotten over him, I have moved on with my life and I really don,t have the heart to deal with him again.

The ringing of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts.

I quickly composed myself and answered the phone without even looking at the Caller ID.

"Hello."

"Serena, are you okay?"

"Alessio, Hi, yea I am fine"

"Oh, I heard you called in sick but I just wanted to make sure"

"Yea it's not a major cold, I should get over it before the days done, hopefully."

I heard him chuckle a bit before replying.

"Okay, once you're alright, so will you be able to go to Hawaii still?" He asked.

Oh shoots, I almost forgot about that.

"Yes, yes, I will"

"Goodbye Serena"

"Goodbye," I said and hung up the phone.

He was really sweet for calling to check up on me but I didn't have the heart to talk to him, my voice was blank through our entire conversation. For most of the day after that, I didn't move from my bed, I just laid there like a shell of my past self thinking about everything that happened to me before.

×Later that day×

I finally decided to get up an become useful so I trudged myself of the bed and took a quick shower to make myself feel better.

I can't believe I completely forgot about the trip. Two days in Hawaii with Alessio. Nothing can go wrong.

Right?

I began to start packing, because why not? I took out one of my suitcases from under my bed and began putting my clothes. I packed 2 sets of work attire, and the rest was regular clothes, bathing suits, etc.

I decided to pack the necessities, like a hairbrush, cream, perfume. Friday night, right before we leave because I am pretty sure I will have to use that.

×THE NEXT DAY×

I woke up this morning feeling much better than how I was yesterday and I am grateful. I walked into the building, only to be greeted by a glare from the ladies at the desk at the entrance of the building but I have gotten used to it.

Every day I come in, they always glare at me and I really don't know why. One of these days I will open my mouth.

I walked out of the elevator an was greeted by a very amusing sight.

Alessio sat by my desk with the cutest pout in his face, which made a huge smile appear on my face.

"Do you need some help over there" i questioned which made him jump a little.

"Actually yes, I am trying to access one of the files from your computer, but you have a password"

"Oh I am sorry about that," I said an quickly rushed over to him. I typed in my password for him and began to write it on a sticky note.

"Here," I said, "This is my username and password in case I am not here you need to get in"

"Thanks"

"It's ok," I said while he took it an began to proceed back to his desk.

Suddenly he turned around and looked at me.

"Are you alright?"

"Yea I am good, thanks for asking"

"Ok, but if you ever need anybody to talk to, I am always here,"  he said and began to walk back into his office.

For the rest of the day no thoughts of Gregg came up in my mind and I am glad for it.

'Now, all I have to do is finish my packing and get to the airport.' I thought to myself as I entered my home.
