He said he loved me... (completed)

Jacian- the king of jerk-slovakia!

Chapter 4: Jacian, the king of jerk-Slovakia!

That following day, when we got back from my aunt’s house, the girls and I decided to go for a walk; after-all the weather was beautiful and I knew that it would only last for a certain amount of time. We were walking slowly, minding our business when a group of lads, including Jacian, started whistling. I took no notice, I knew that it wasn’t aimed at me; and I was right.

One of the older guys in the group that I didn’t really recognise shouted out “Jacian wants your number!” at that I whipped my head around and asked ‘who’s?’ and when he pointed at Gina I felt my heart hit the pavement, visited Satan in hell and came back. I felt so crushed. The guy I had a crush on for 5 summers wants my cousin’s number the moment she sets foot on foreign land. I felt so vulnerable… and seeing the smirk forming on Gina’s lips wasn’t helping.

I ran then, there was no other choice. Either cry in front of them all or try to get a bit of privacy. At this point, I didn’t care what anyone thought, I didn’t care at all. Seeing the image of Gina fluttering her eyelashes and swaying her hips as she walked away in her ridiculous heels made me want to dry heave. Why did all of the guys go for her? What was so special? Why did she seem so happy to watch me suffer? All these thoughts raced in my head, I remember them because most of them are still left unanswered.

Kate reached me first, she asked if I was ok, I replied yes. It’s the only thing I could say, only thing that made sense. Simplest way out. We then made our way back home, Gina probably sensing the bad vibe and keeping well behind me; I silently thanked her for doing that because I wouldn’t have been held responsible for my actions if anything went seriously out of hand.

When we got home, I ran into my room that no longer seemed private and lay under the covers, waiting for the tears to come, but surprisingly not even a single tear was shed. I remember feeling like no one wanted me, no one wanted to spend enough time with me to find who I really am as a person. Let’s just say I felt absolutely dreadful. That could be the start of how to describe how I felt.

When I felt better, I ignored Gina as much as I possibly could. I couldn’t help feeling angry and jealous and upset towards her, and so I made the sensible decision of staying away before I did anything I regret. But Gina wouldn’t leave me alone; she cornered me, in my own room and asked me what was up.

I couldn’t believe my ears, was she so stupid or did she genuinely did not have eyes? I replied that everything was fine and that I was just on my period and having a moody day. She sighed, and left me alone.

For the next couple of days, I merely sat there feeling sorry for myself. I woke up one morning with sudden adrenaline, wanting and desperation to feel good with myself and get back out. So I took ages in the bathroom, brushing my teeth and doing my hair; styling it to perfection. I wore a purple dress with leggings and went downstairs to have brunch, because in the summer holidays, no-one wakes up on time for a real breakfast!

I made plans that day, plans to get out and meet people and just have fun really… I decided to go to my aunt’s house, to see my baby cousin Leila and more importantly to see Nico. I felt giddy every time I said his name in my mind, almost like a little kid on Christmas Eve! But I really couldn’t help it, he’s just… you know. Just!

Kate and Gina wanted to come along with me; I felt really bad that Gina and I were not on speaking terms, although that really was my decision but her actions! I thought it through as we walked along the pavement; that a man should never get in the way of a precious friendship like ours… but why did it hurt so much? Why couldn’t I just let it go? As I set my flip-flopped feet onto the tiles on the pavement, I felt more and more guilty and so by my twenty-fifth step I decided to make amends. Forgive and forget. If only it was that simple…

“Gina…” I started, but had no idea what to say next.

Gina’s head snapped up so quickly I was actually taken aback and the look in her eyes was hopeful. I couldn’t possibly let her down now…

“Gina, what d’you wanna do today?” I muttered.

Lame. Seriously? This best I could come up with?

“You’re speaking to me. Am I forgiven?” she got the hint, I got to hand it to her if I were in her position I would have had no idea what I was attempting to do.

But she got it, the problem now is: what will I say? I know I shouldn’t let this come between us, but I’m still hurting…

Gina muttered something under her breath in Lithuanian which sounded a lot like ‘forgiven for something I have not done’ but I let it slip. After all, I will make not let this get between us. Will I?

“Yeah. So what do you want to do today?” I quickly changed the topics.

“Well… hang out at aunt’s…” She smiled at me re-assuringly, getting my jist and silently winking at my clever approach.

“Why you so quiet?” I asked Kate, realising she hasn’t spoken during the entire journey.

“Huh? Nieko…” She replied ‘Nothing’ in Lithuanian letting me know that there was definitely something on.

“Tell me later?” I whispered quietly enough, just for her to hear.

She nodded. I have a really good relationship with both of my cousins but they don’t like to spend much time together and when they do, they’re usually fighting for my attention! At times it makes me feel almighty and superior but at other times I just feel like grabbing both of them by their necks and banging their heads together!

The rest of the walk was filled with chatter and giggling and plans on how I’m gonna try and get Nico to notice me. A stranger walked past, wearing only some shorts and flip-flops (they seem to be in right now, because everyone is wearing them-including me!) and he started staring, clearly and evidently at Gina; she just flipped her hair to the side and gave a half smile to him and then started cracking jokes about him in Lithuanian! Sometimes it’s so good to be able to speak a different language, no one can understand what you’re really saying!
