I put the phone down and continue walking to Gigi's room. I knock twice.

"Gigi, can I come in?" I ask and I hear her sigh.

"Sure," she says and I enter. She's sitting on her bed and she's wearing a white shirt with jeans.

"Marcos called, he wanted you to know that he's okay," 

"That's great," she says, monotone.

"Hey, you alright?" I ask and sit beside her. 

"No," she groans and hangs her head between her legs, which are pressed up against her.

"Hey...what happened?" I ask and drape an arm around her tiny shoulders comfortingly.

"Well, Tony told me..., oh god, I can't even," she groans again.

"Come on, you can tell me. I'm basically a second brother," I tell her and she cracks a smile.

"Okay. Tony told me that he was falling for me," she whispers softly.

"Wow, that's fast," I say and she gives me a look.

"John," she scolds. 

"Okay, okay, sorry, continue,"

"And I told him that he shouldn't because I already have Andy. Then he said he was never going to stop liking me," she balances her face in her hands. "What am I going to do? I crushed him. You should've seen the way he looked at me, he looked like...a sad puppy,"

"Really, a sad puppy?" I ask and she nods pitifully. "Well," I start and rub her shoulder. " I think that you should take your time. If you're very sure that you love Andy, then you were right to reject Tony. And if you need time to think, Tony should give you all the time you need, considering that he likes you,"  she looks up at me.

"Really?"

"Yes," I say and get up. 

"Thank you, John," she says and I smile.

"No problem,"

"You're really like a second brother," she smiles.

"I told you so," she laughs but then stops.

"Oh, one more thing," she says,

"Yeah?"

"Um...Tony might or might not have been shirtless," I stare at her in horror.

"NO!" I say in shock. She cracks a smile.

"And he may or may not have kissed me," she winces as I gasp.

"I hope you're kidding, Gigi," I tease.

She laughs and stands to hug me. I rub her back.

"Thank you, second brother of mine," Gigi smiles when we part. "You give great advice," 

"You're welcome. I'm always here, whenever you need me, okay?" she nods and I ruffle her hair before leaving her room.
