Returning home

Chapter 14 - Secret revealed

Angie's POV:

- Let's take a walk and clear our heads out... what do you think? - Gregorio asked me. He was surprisingly really caring now, I don't know why.

- I think you're right... - I sighed.

As we were walking out suddenly a guy came up to us and hugged me. I didn't know who it was until he let go of me and I could see his face properly.

- Milton?! - I snapped.

- Angie! - he grinned happily - What are you doing here? Wow... you're beautiful as always!

- Thank you... - I blushed lightly when Gregorio cleared his throat behind Milton and he turned around.

- Ah, sorry. Have you been going somewhere Gregorio? - he asked, pretty rudely.

- Such a genius you are, as always... - Gregorio groaned.

Then Milton turned back to me.

- Call me sometimes... We need to talk! - he smiled the one last hug and he disappeared around the corner.

Later when we were walking in the park...

- How long do you know Milton? - Gregorio suddenly burst out.

- Huh? He's my childhood friend - I replied - We were going to the same school for ages but around when we were 17 he moved to a different country and since then we didn't really talk or meet.

 - I see...

- Seeing your reaction I think you don't like him, do you? - I giggled.

- Not really... - he groaned.

- He's hard to deal with... But he can be good...

Gregorio stopped and looked at me weirdly for a moment before he began to smile too.

- You don't like him either, huh? - he asked.

- No really... - I laughed - But I'm trying to act like I like him...

- That's a bad idea, you know?

- I know... But what can I do??

We both began to laugh as we continued walking and talking about different topics, until he finally asked again that what's my problem.

- It's nothing... - I muttered.

- Angie... I'm your friend... You know that... - he said as he gently held my hand - I know I wasn't too nice in the past but I'm trying my best to change...

- Gregorio... - I sighed and looked away but he placed his hand under my chin and lifted it up.

- Trust me... - he whispered while looked into my eyes.

I was about to give in when I suddenly noticed the same guy near to us on a bench with a blond haired woman and now that I was closer than the last time I saw who it really was.

- Nicholas...? - I muttered.

- Huh?

Gregorio looked at me confused when I pulled him quickly behind a tree.

- There... - I pointed at the direction where Nicholas was sitting.

- Is that Nicholas?? - Gregorio asked me, even more confused and I just nodded - But who's that woman with him?

- I don't know... - I muttered as I stared at them, trying to figure out what's happening here.

- And why are we hiding here?

- Because I want to know what is he doing! He acted weird when he left a few days ago and I want to know if he hides something or not...

But as soon as I said that he leaned in and kissed the blond woman.

Gregorio probably saw that I'm about to explode because he pulled me away, back to the Studio but I didn't have straight to go in so I collapsed down on the bench in front of the entrance.

- No... No, this can't be... - I muttered, looking down - It couldn't be Nicholas...

- Angie... - Gregorio sighed beside me - It was Nicholas... there's no doubt...

- I'm such an idiot...

I couldn't hold back but began to cry. Luckily there was barely any people near the Studio so no one saw me crying... except Gregorio, who was trying to calm me down.

It's still weird that he's so caring like this but at this moment I didn't mind. I didn't want Pablo to see me like this because he would tell me the same over and over again and I really don't feel like arguing again. I didn't want Vilu either to see me crying... But most of all I didn't want German to see me crying because as soon as he'd see me he's try to comfort me which always works and the same problems would come after that.
