Ch. 6 : Secret Warnings

Amica

Today is Saturday. Which means I work half day. And right now I'm about to leave seeing as my shift is over.Today has been very uneventful until a certain gorgeous person decided to pop in.

"Hi," he says breathlessly once he reached me.

"Hi," I reply.

"So I know that you just finished work. I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me to lunch? I'll understand if you can't."

"Actually that cool 'cause I have nothing planned for today anyways."

" 'Kay. Come on let's go."

Giovanni

I was so nervous asking Amica to have lunch with me. She is not like the other girls I normally rub shoulders with. She is just .....different I suppose. Right now we were driving to the Eden Meander Mall. I was thinking of having lunch at the Krutz. Upon arriving we climbed out of the car. I had the sudden urge to hold her hand in mine so I did. Luckily she didn't seem to protest or anything.

" So where are we going?" she asked.

" The Krutz. Have you ever been there?"

"Nope."

"Good."

As we entered I asked for a table of two. After we sat,a waiter came to take our orders.

"Hi I'm Rosemary,welcome. What would you like to have?"

"Hi, I'd like to have a beef burger with fries and a bar one chocolate milkshake. What will you be having Amica?"

" I'll just have a toasted cheese and ham sandwich and a strawberry milkshake please."

After the waitress had taken down our order she left.

"So.....tell me about yourself," I said finally breaking the silence.

"What about myself?"

" How about we play twenty questions. I ask a question you answer. You ask a question and I'll answer. So what is your favourite colour?"

" Blue. What is your favourite colour?"

"Red. Which band is your favourite?"

"I suppose Maroon 5."

And this went on until the food arrived.In the middle of our meal I asked the question I'd been dying to ask.

" So I'm hosting a party tonight and I was wondering if you'd like to come. I would like it if you actually came."
Amica

Parties. They weren't exactly my thing. So when Giovanni asked me to attend his I was just flabbergasted.
He unfortunately took my moment of shocked silence as a denial.

" It's fine if you don't want to come. Feel free to deny my invitation."

"No,no I was just letting it sink in. I don't normally go to parties so...this is kinda strange for me."

"So will you go?"

"Yes I will."

"Are you done?"

"Yes I am."

After he had paid for the bill he dropped me off. But now I sat with a huge problem. What was I going to wear? As I sat contemplating and going through my closet trying to find the perfect out fit a bright idea came to mind. Beverly...

So a few minutes later you find me at Truworths completely exhausted with a very exited Bev eagerly putting aside dresses I still had to try on whilst blabbering about how I would look so good Giovanni's jaw would drop to the floor.

That was when I happene to set my eyes on it. It was a simple off the shoulder,back dress that I knew would suite me well. I grabbed it and made a beeline for the change rooms. When I showed Bev, all she could do was give me a thumbs up.

Upon arriving at home she quickly sent me to the shower. After my shower I got into my dress and sat at the dressing table as she did my make up and hair. By the time she was satisfied I couldn't believe the girl in the mirror was me. As I was busy admiring the girl looking back at mein the mirror,the doorbell rang signalling Gio's arrival. I quickly grabbed a coat on my way to the door. And there stood Gio in jeans and a black dress shirt.

Giovanni

When I knocked on the door I didn't expect my breath to be knocked outta me too. She just looked amazing. I shook my head slightly to get rid of my current thoughts and broke the silence,"Hi...you ready to go?"

"Ja, just need to grab my purse then we can go."

"Kay."

A few minutes later she appears. I open the door for her allowing her to sink into the car seat before closing the door and getting into the drivers seat. We spend the short ride to the party in comfortable silence. We entered the party together and we were greeted by Bev and Jackson. Bev instantaneously attacked me. And Gio was lead away by Jackson. But he didn't leave me without first telling me to enjoy the party.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

I stayed at the snack table,Bev was somewhere on the dance floor. Seeing as I drank a few drinks,non-alcoholic drinks, I needed the barthroom but it was there that I ran into someone I would never want to run into again. Stella.
I had walked into the barthroom with the intention of using it when Stella turned around and attacked me.

" Why are you all over my boyfriend?",she asked.

"Which boyfriend?"

"Giovanni! I want to make this very clear. Giovanni is mine got it?"

I could do nothing but nod. She scared the living day lights out of me.

"Good."

And she just walked out with her minions tailing after her. I couldn't believe Gio never told me he had a jealous girlfriend. Suddenly all the excitement for this party vanished. I went out and hailed a taxi got in and went home.

Giovanni

I finally had a break from all the clingy girls at the party who wouldn't let me out of their sight or stop sticking onto me like leeches,so I went to check up on Amica but I couldn't find her so I asked Bev if she saw her but Bev being Bev was very drunk so I went around asking people but no one knew where she went to. That was until I bumped into Stella who told me how she had chased Amica away by threatening her. To say I was very furious would be an understatement. I was livid.

". Who said I was your boyfriend ? You have no right claiming me like that. You are walking on thin ice Stella. Harm her again and I'll personally see to it that you would feel double what she felt. Am I understood?"

I left without waiting for a reply.
