Breaking Boundaries

Chapter 22 - "This is why.."

"Fuckkk. What the fuck you doing here?"

"What am I doing here? Is that a serious question?"

"Yes! I told you not to come here!"

"So this is what you've been doing? Cooking your girlfriend breakfast? What about us Gino?"

"I told you I was coming to see you!"

"Yeah you been saying that for just over two weeks!"

I feel so awkward.. I don't know what to say or do...

"I should go..." I whisper.

Gino turns towards me as the female is looking me up and down.

"No please stay. I'll explain."

"Explain what? US?"

"Lee will you shut the fuck up for two seconds!"

Lee? Her names Lee?
What a coincidence.

Suddenly it all makes sense.
He's so closed off, mysterious.
He doesn't want a relationship?
Is he already in one?
The boy he looks exactly like Gino.
My stomachs in knots.. I just can't do this..

I run out of the kitchen and to the bathroom. 

Gino's POV

Shit, OK this doesn't look good to her..

"Can you just go I'll come later and give you some money. Please just go."

"Aaaa. She thinks I'm your baby Mom!"

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"No little man. Just a special friend."

"She's pwetty."

"Yeah she is.."

"She's also the reason he hasn't been to see us, Dom"

"That's not true."

"Really? And since when do you even have friends never mind girlfriends!"

"Leah, what exactly does that have to do with you?"

"You left us for her! The Gino I know don't stand here cooking his new side dish, breakfast!"

"She's not a fucking side dish.. She's not like the others."

The words fall out of my mouth so naturally. Only after they fall out do I realise what the fuck I'm saying.

"See? You fucking like her don't you?"

"Get out. I'll see you later."

"Gino I can't do this on my own anymore..she's getting worse."

"I know Lee, I'm sorry I guess I have allowed myself to get wrapped up in other stuff. I'll sort it later I promise."

"Look G, I'm happy that you finally let someone in.. She seems nice but don't forget who you are I'll see you later then yeah?."

"I promise."

Fuck.

I go and check my room, she's not there.

The bathroom.

"Lee, open the door.."

My stomachs twisting up like I've done something wrong and been caught? She thinks I've done something wrong..
I need to put this right.
