Temptations (A Vinny Castronovo Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Twenty-Two

(Gabrielle's POV)

Even with all the cheering and clapping, after that kiss, it just felt like me and Vinny. I couldn't help but run my fingers along my lips, trying to receive some type of sign that the kiss actually just happened. My chest heaved up and down.... I enjoyed that so much. Vinny caressed my face in his hands, and began to lean forward again. "Wait, Vinny..." I placed my hands on his chest, pushing him away. "But...." Vinny looked down into my eyes, tears beginning to form in his. I shook my head, and realeased myself from him hold, tears starting to fall down my face. "I, I can't do this.... I'm sorry." I sniffled, and ran upstairs, and out the door. The cold air bit at my skin, but I didn't care. I needed to get home. As I walked down the sidewalk, I heard footsteps behind me, causing me to quicken my pace. When I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist, I started to scream, but they turned me around, and I calmed down when I saw it was only Marko. "God damn't Marko, you scared the life out of me!" I yelled, hitting his chest. "Gab, why the fuck are you out here, this late, without a coat on, crying?!" He yelled, taking me into his warm embrace. "It's nothing, honestly..." I sighed, taking in the warmth from his body. "Oh really?" Marko eyeballed me as he wrapped his football jacket around my small frame. "Really. And, take this, you're going to get sick..." I said, beginning to remove the jacket. "No. You keep it. I care more about you, then I care about me. And it's obvously not nothing. I can see the tear stains down your face." Marko said, rubbing my arms. I sighed, and reached up to wipe away the tear running down my face, but Marko beat me to it. "Tell me what's wrong." "Vinny, he uh...." I tried to finish my sentence, but I choked on my tears. "What did that little bitch do?" He said through gritted teeth. "He, didn't do anything bad, I promise..." I said, wiping at my tears. "I'll be the judge of that. Now are you going to tell me, or am I going to have to go down to his house and find out from him?" Marko asked, I could tell he was getting angry. I sighed, and mumbled the answer. "He kissed me...." Marko stepped back, and looked down at me. "He kissed you?" I nodded, and began to sob. "Why are you crying? I thought that's what you wanted?" Marko said, his tone suddenly harsh. "I don't know what I'm feeling! I really loved the kiss... But I'm afraid to get hurt again...." I said, looking into his eyes. It was if he was staring straight into my soul, as if he could feel everything I was feeling. Before I knew it, his lips were overlapping mine. And I didn't pull away. No, I didn't move an inch. Because for once in my life I was certain on what I was feeling. I had just fallen for Marko....

(A/N: Lolol, okai, so a picture of the real life Marko is on the side. His tumblr is incred1ble.tumblr.com. HE IS SUCHA CUTIE. I've been dying to talk to him but I'm an awko taco, so yeah.
