Gianna

~a few days later~

It's been a few days without Andy and I'm already lonely. I've been keeping myself busy, trying to volunteer to do more things, like helping out with tending to peoples wounds and making newbies feel welcome but I still miss him. Tony's been really sweet, trying to help me and cheer me up with jokes but it's not the same. I remember what Marcos told me about Papi. That he was trying to find me. Marcos told me to stay indoors and not to go out. I still can't believe it though. 

Just then, John comes out of the Office and I stop him.

"Oh, hey, Gigi. What's up?" John asks when he sees me.

"Did you receive any news from them?" I ask worriedly.

"No, not yet. But your brother told me that he couldn't call us for the first few days because it'd be too risky, the soldiers at customs could find out about them," John explained. I cross my arms and look down.

"Oh...okay," I say, disappointed. 

"Hey, it's cool. I promise I'll let you know when they call okay?" he assures me and pats me on the shoulder.

"Okay...," I agree and break a smile. 

"Why don't you go to the garage and fix the car with Tony or something? It's good to keep yourself busy," he suggests.

"Sure," I agree.

"Say, he has a crush on you, doesn't he?" he asks cheekily.

"John," I groan and roll my eyes.

"Oh, come on. I've seen the way he looks at you,"

"What way?"

"I'd say a way that a bad boy looks like he wants something or someone," he winks.

"Right...," I say and roll my eyes again. "He knows that I have Andy,"

"That's not gonna stop him, is it?" he smiles. "Just messing with you."

"Very funny, John," I say with a smile and head to the garage.

In the garage, I hear Tony standing behind the hood of a car. I couldn't see him so I walked over to him and jumped. He was shirtless and his muscled body was visible. I quickly turned around to have my back faced to him. 

"Oh my god, Tony!" I cry out and I hear his laughter. "Where the heck is your shirt?" 

"It's hot here," he complains. I hear him put his tools down. "You can't say you didn't like that, though."

"I...I...ugh, you're so infuriating!" I cover my eyes with my hands. 

"So, you did," I can practically feel his smirk. 

"Stop it!" I blush. He reaches out to me and turns me to face him. But I still can't see him. 

"You look adorable when you blush," he says.

"Ha, I can't see you," I say.

"You don't have to," he leans down and I feel his lips on mine. I move my hands away from my face and try to push him away but he grabs hold of my hands. Resisting is hard, especially when it's a guy who's practically taller and stronger than me by a lot. What if I...don't resist? 

I stop resisting and immediately melt into him. My hands curl around his neck and his arms snake around my waist. Then, I push him away. 

"No, no. I can't," I turn away but he doesn't let go. "Tony,"

"Gianna, I'm not letting go," he says softly. 

"This is wrong, Tony. I have a boyfriend. You have to," I tell him as I look away. He lifts my chin up so that I stare into his eyes. Those green eyes, boring holes into my skin. I bite my lip and look away again. 

"Gianna, I told you. No. I'm not one to give up easily," he says. I force myself to look at him and he looks desperate...for me.  "I'll admit, I was chasing you for fun at first. But then I got to know you, now I'm really falling for you," he sounds so genuine and so serious. My finger traces patterns on his bare chest and I lay my head on his chest. 

"Your heart is beating so fast," I notice.

"You made me like this," he holds my hand. "You make my heartbeat quicken." I hold his hand and put it on my chest. He looks at me.

"My heartbeat isn't fast. It won't be, at least for now. I'm not falling for you, Tony," I tell him. He stays silent as I untangle myself from his arms and head out.

"I am, Gianna," he says, loud enough for me to hear.

I'm so sorry, Tony.

I'm still waiting for Andy to come back.
