Another chance (The Selection Fanfiction)

Chapter Seven

This chapter is a continue for chapter six. I hope you will enjoy it.
Juliano's point of view:
"We will go to... " I said to the woman in my arms, that I love. "First, we'll go to a restaurant to eat something. Then, we'll go to the cinema to watch a movie, and by the way you can choose it." She looked at me disbelieving. "So you don't want to choose an horror movie or something like this??!!!" Why should I do this??!! "Should I do this?" She looked at me like I have two heads instead of one. "God, sometimes I think that you are stupid... Look, every guy when he takes a girl with him to the cinema, he makes her watch an horror movie so he will have the excuse to hug her." Really, why didn't I think about it... "Really, they do this?" I said smirking. She blushed but said "Yes, they do that. Even Alex did that with Nick on their first date." "That bastard, I must have followed them, but my sis didn't tell me where they'll go. That's why I didn't tell her where we'll go." I lost my opportunity to take pictures for them on their first date. Think about it 'The princess of Italy is afraid of a movie, and her boyfriend (now her fiance) is hugging her to calm her down.' What an incredible article would be. "So you wanted me to hug you. Huhh..." "No, I didn't say that...." She said while she's blushing like a tomato. "You could have told me that you want me to hug you." I smirked. "But I..." I cut her by saying "Actually, I want to tell you that I don't need a movie to hug you... I don't need any excuse to hug my girl." I confessed. She froze in her place, what happened to her "Are you Ok." "You said 'my girl'" I blushed but I cleared my throat and said "I guess I said it... Now, let's go, I don't want to be late because I want to take you to a place after the cinema, but it will be a surprise, and this time I will not tell you." And I started to move towards my car, but Ames didn't move one step. "Are you ok, angel. Do you want me to carry you, I would love to do that." I smirked. "Pervert." She mumbled and I laugh. "So. This is the car that we'll use? I thought that you will impress me by new, big, beautiful car, I don't know, something like Ferrari." Oh, shit. I'm the worst person ever who want to impress a girl; a girl who want to make her his. "I thought that you would like the simple things, also I don't want the attention." She smiled at me a real smile that reaches her eyes. "You really know me very well. You know what I love and prefer. You're amazing." She said then kissed me on the check. "You know that this is not a kiss." She smiled mischievously "But it is a kiss for me." And she went to sit in the passenger seat. I huffed then I entered the car, and I started driving.
Our drive was silent, America was watching the surrounding while humming a song that I don't know. Her voice is amazing when she sings, it always makes me alive, but the problem is that she can't see how perfect she is, she doesn't have a fault. Ok, except her temper.
I cut the silence by asking "Do you like pizza?" "Of course I like it. Who does not like pizza?" I smiled "I only wanted to make sure." Then I continued saying "Do you like playing a game with me?" "A game? Are you serious?" I nodded. "In the car?" She said mockingly "Yeah. What about playing the Ten Questions? Do you know the rules?" "Of course I know. Who will start?" "Ladies first." I joked. "Ok. Love boy. What is your favorite song?" I smiled "All of me. You?" She was shocked "I thought it will be Italian. 'Je t'aime.' It's French but I like it." I thought that she'll tell me that the song I'll sing it to her every night is her favorite one. It's a shame. "But I started to prefer the song that you sang to me every night. It's the best." I smiled and I wanted to make my victory dance✌💃. "Your turn. And please open the window, I can't breathe because of your big ego." What, my big ego. At least, it's big. "Haha. My turn now, I'll be easy on you. What do think about the Italian men?" She thought about it then she said "They are lovely, they respect the ladies, they are gods of beauty and... I think they're the best kissers." I'm a good kisser actually.... Did she kiss anyone in the palace and that's why she said that, she didn't kiss me so she didn't mean me... But she used 'I think'. "You think?" I asked. "Actually, I didn't kiss any Italian man, but one of the employees in the palace told me that, then he said he can prove it." I sat in the driver's seat clutching the steering wheel until my knuckles were white. I didn't think about anything except how to kill that asshole. "At first, I thought he was one of the advisors, but then he said that he is your cousin. After that, he said that you'll take care of me, and you love me very much." She smirked, and I blushed, but I turned my head so she can't see my red checks. "Don't hide your blush, it's lovely." "Do you think it's funny, missy." I said, and get out of the car. Then, I walked towards America's door and opened it. "We'll continue our game inside, but for now I hope that you'll like the restaurant. I always come here to rest and relax, also its food is amazing." I took her hand and put it in mine, and then went to the restaurant. "It's lovely. How did you find it?" "Actually, it's for Sandy's parents... Sandy had worked here before she met my brother and became a queen." I said while looking at it. "I didn't know that Sandy's parents have a restaurant." I looked in her blue eyes and confessed "At first, it wasn't theirs, they had rent it, but when my brother married Sandy, he brought it for her parents to help them. He always says 'They are also my family, and the son always helps his family.' And everyone in my family agree with him." In her eyes, you can see that she is proud of my brother and my family. "Your brother is so cute." "Only my brother? You are killing me... But do you know something, I'm sexy, handsome, kindhearted..." I said while hugging Ames in my arms. "Oh god, you and your ego.... You're impossible. Let's enter, I want to see it from inside." She dragged me with her while she's laughing. Oh God, hearing her laughing makes me alive.
America started staring at it from inside, and by looking at her I can say that she adored it. "It's amazing. The wall's color, the wooden floor, the mahgony furniture, the smell... Mmm.... It's fabulous." "Yes, it is... It's..." I was interrupted by a woman's voice "Jul, finally... You're late. What took you so long?" She asked, and then hugged me. I felt Ames shifts uncomfortably, and when I look at her face I saw jealousy in her eyes. Yes, she loves me.
"Maria. I missed you, I didn't see you in forever, where have you been." I said, then I hugged her. I want to make Ames jealous as possible as I can. "Me... I was here, but you, where have you been, playboy..." I chuckled. "I was busy. But look at yourself..." I made her turn around herself "you look so hot in these clothes." I smirked, and she blushed. "You'll always be a playboy."
"That ass, I want to kill him. He brought me with him here to make me see how he flirts with girls. I'm stupid. I must not have accepted his invitation." America mumbled quietly, if I haven't been focusing at her, I wouldn't have heard her.
"Ah, I forgot. Maria, this lovely lady is Ames, my girlfriend. Ames, that's Maria my sister-in-law." "I'm not your girlfriend, jerk." Ames said angrily, and turned her head. "But... You're sister in law..." She was shocked. I nodded. "I thought you are... I don't know, maybe boyfriend and girlfriend..." Maria laughed and said "No, I'm only his sis. Sandy's younger sister. And don't worry, I'm married to a lovely husband and I have three children, actually they're triples." "Wow, really." Ames asked. "Yeah..." Maria answered, then she turned to me "So, that's where you have been... In a room that has a bed, with that lovely lady, doing naughty things..." I blushed. "Of course not." Me and Ames said together, and Maria laughed. "Let me take you, love birds, to your table." And she guided us to the roof. The views there, are awesome, and the breeze is refreshing. And when we sat down Maria asked "Do you need the menu, or do you want to order now?" "We will order now. She can't read Italian, and I memorized the menu. We want pizza..." And I looked at Ames to choose. "With vegetables." She said. And I continued "with Greek salad, fries and red wine. (In my country, you can drink alcohol at 18. But some families let their children drink at 10 or 12. I don't know if you are like us or not, but I wanted to make it clear. And by the way, Jul is one year older than Ames. He's 18, and Ames is 17." "Maria can I ask you something?" Ames asked, and Maria nodded. "How can you speak English very well?" "My husband is a British man, and by the way, he taught me English." She said while wondering about something she and her husband did. She really loves her husband, and I wish them all the best.
Then Maria left us after she took our orders. "Wow, the place is amazing." She said while she's looking around. "Yeah... This restaurant is on a hill, and from here you can see the surroundings. Also, I know how much you like the nature." She smiled, and said "You know me very well." I looked in her eyes and said "Who say that he knows you, he'll be a liar. You are like an ocean, an ocean that is full of secrets. When someone knows something about you, he thinks that he knows you very well, but then he'll be shocked that you are something more bigger, more complicated... America Singer, the diamond that will bring the happiness and joy to anyone who has it, but at the same time no man deserves to have her or control her, because you're so perfect... You are the brightness and the light to this world, without you is like having a life without sun... America, when you show anger, you also show mercy and forgiveness. When you have temper, you also have humor, passion and love. When you fall, and everything brings misery to you, you don't give up and you teach yourself how to live. And that what I love about you, giving up isn't found in your dictionary. Being strong, and to fight for what you believe in are the words that describe you." When I finished, America was crying, so I weeped her tears away, hugged her tightly to my chest and kissed her hair. "Don't cry. I don't want to see the tears in your eyes. When you cry I feel my heart has been shattered to million of pieces." "Thank you. Thanks for everything." She smiled a big smile, and I smiled back. "So," I started "you were jealous from Maria?" "What!!!! Mmm... By the way, it's not your turn, it's mine. And for your knowledge I'm not. Why should I be?" She's a liar. I'm sure that she was jealous. Her eyes were looking at Maria in a weird way, it's the same way that I look when I see Ames with another man. "Of course, you weren't jealous." I said sarcastically. "Juliano Fernando Marino!!!" She half yelled and half warned. "I knew my name is so difficult, so don't use it like this. Actually, I don't know what my parents were thinking about when they chose it." I smirked. She looked at me with a frown "But I love your name. It's special like you." I was grateful for her, nobody ever thought about me as a special one. She's really different from any woman I've met before, she can see through me, she makes me a better person, and I love that. "Thanks." She smiled and said "So, how many girlfriends did you have?" I smirked "You still say that you are not jealous, but let me think about it.... Celine, Alexia, Nicole, Mia, Angela, Mia, Jennifer, Andrea.... Actually, I can't count them, there's a lot. Maybe one hundred more or less." Her face was priceless "One hundred more or less.... Are you serious? You are really a playboy." She chocked. I burst out laughing. "I was in love for the first time, when I was 3 years old. She was wearing a red dress, and her blonde hair was silk, flying in the air. But unfortunately, she was much older than me, I think she was 20 at that time." "What? 20!!!!" She laughed. "And when I told her that I love her, her boyfriend hugged her more tightly and said 'Sorry little boy, she's taken.' It was my first heartbreaking, but like you see I survived." Ames burst laughing, her angelic voice is amazing, I would give anything just to hear it. "You are such a poor dramatic boy." And she continued laughing, and this time I laughed with her. And when we calmed down, I said "You know that I was joking. I only had one girlfriend, Kristina." I don't want a to talk about this bitch, and how she cheated on me with my best friend prince Martin of Britain, who by the way will be the next king of Britain. And now both of them are married to each other, and they have a boy. I think he's one month.
I changed the subject quickly. "So, what you think about me?" She thought for a while. "You're arrogant, stubborn, dramatic and pain in the ass..." "What!!!!.... You really don't think about me like this." God, please let her be joking. I hope that it's not the truth. "Nuh... You're an amazing person, kind, cute, kindhearted. You love without limits, you help without being asked, you understand and you forgive, and when you see flaws in life you ignore them, and then say that life is perfect. And by the way, I love everything in you, especially your eyes, it's like the blue clear sky." My heart started beating faster. "Ames, I lo..." I have been interrupted by Maria "The food is ready. I hope you like it, Ames." "The smell is wonderful."
And when Maria finished putting the food on the table, she said "I will leave you, love birds, to enjoy your lunch." We thanked her, and she went back to her work.
America digged in first, and I looked at her to see her first impression. And when she put the first bit in her beautiful mouth, she moaned. "It's amazing. It's the best pizza I have ever eaten." "I want to hear your moans in something else." Ames blushed then she looked at her plate and yelled. "Juliano!!!" "What?!!" I said innocently then I laughed.
We continued to joke, talk and eat. But I must not say eat, I must say 'hear America's moans while she's eating.' Hearing them made me like a crazy man who wants to kiss her lips hungerly.
After we finished, I paid the bill, and said goodbye to Maria. And when we entered the car Ames said "The food was amazing, and the restaurant was so calm and wonderful. Thank you." "You don't have to thank me."
