Claimed by Him (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 6

Walking side by side with Giovanni, I couldn't help but look down at him.

"Why navy pier?" I asked with a smile and took his hand into mine. Giovanni shrugged his shoulders.

"Why not live like kids for a bit?" He suggested and guided us to the ticket booth. Before I could pay, he covered it for me and answered my glare with a chuckle. "I asked you on a date, I pay."

"I technically asked and I can pay for myself." I don't know why I couldn't help but feel a bit offended. Giovanni grabbed the tickets and guided us to the side. He reach over and pecked my lips.

"I know, babe, but I just wanted to do this for us." He whispered handing me the tickets. "Enjoy yourself, all you do is worry about taking care of everyone else."

It couldn't be helped when we live in such a dangerous world and people like Cecilia and Acendro couldn't even remember to lock the door.

"Thank you." I said wrapping an arm around his waist. "So where to first?"

"The swings!" He exclaimed with a smile. I rolled my eyes and walked over there with him next to me. It was a beautiful day, just a bit over 70 degrees and with the sun in the sky, it was nice for gloomy Chicago.

With Giovanni buckled next to me, he smiled bright. Rolling my eyes, I couldn't help but laugh at how kid like he looked.

"You're not afraid of heights?" He asked.

"Nope, Im not scared of anything, except dogs." I admitted honestly because honesty is the best policy.

"Dogs? What have dogs ever done to you?" Gio asked with a laugh. "Like any dogs?"

The thought of those beast caused a shiver to run down my spine. "Just stop, okay? They're so disgusting with slobber and just ew. I can't."

"Doesn't Acendro have a dog?" Gio asked. There was a hint of jealousy in my chest with how close he's getting to Acendro, but I brushed it off.

"And don't see that thing staying in my house, now do you?" I asked rolling my eyes and got excited when the ride started. Giovanni held onto my hand and squealed in excitement. I laughed at how scared he was getting and was honestly relieved when the ride went into the air.

You could see what felt like the whole city of Chicago up here. It was beautiful. Looking over at Gio, I felt at peace with someone so understanding and beautiful.

His curly hair was getting in his face causing me to laugh. He pulled out a pin to pull it back, but I stopped him. He looked over at me confused. I smiled and touched his hair before pulling away, so that I don't fall.

He knew what I meant and that's all that matters.

Once the ride was over, Gio dragged me to what felt like all the attractions until finally he got hungry. I couldn't help but admit that I was having fun. There were only strangers here, nobody from the south side comes here, thankfully.

"Let's go get ice cream!" Giovanni exclaimed looking over at me as he ran to the Ben and Jerry's store. He's something else.

"What flavor are you gonna get?" I asked playing with his hair as we stood in line.

"Vanilla, of course." He said as if vanilla was the best flavor in the world.

"That's plain." I said looking over at the coconut coffee flavor.

"I like vanilla, it's so simple and sweet and delicious! And you can add anything and it tastes good like Oreos. Even vanilla Oreos are bette than the chocolate ones." He said smiling at the woman behind the counter. "Hi!"

The lady smiled. "Hey, what can I get you?"

"Can I try..." he went off listing practically every flavor. Why? When he knew what he wanted. The lady's smile quickly turned into a frown after the 17th sample. "I'll jut get vanilla."

You can see the irritation of the line behind us and the lady as she gave him his two scoops of vanilla. I laughed and just asked for the coconut coffee flavor.

We sat outside and enjoyed the cool breeze. "Why did you ask for all of those flavors, only to get vanilla?"

Gio shrugged and tried a bit of my ice cream. "Just because I wanted to get two ice creams, but I didn't want to pay for two, so if you sample all of them, you practically had enough ice cream for one scoop."

"That's so complicated." I said shaking my head and continued to eat the ice cream. Gio was dressed in a baby blue crew neck with light washed ripped skinny jeans, a nice black belt, and white slip on vans. It was just crazy how opposite we were as I stood here in all black.

Well, at least my top is grey, but my pants were black and the leather sweater was black.

"Where do you want to go now?" I asked looking around, making sure there was no danger around us.

"We can go to the park down by your house." He suggested. I quickly turned down the suggestion. I don't want certain people to see us together and put Gio in danger.

"Let's stay north. A movie?" I asked pulling up my phone to check what new movies came out. Giovanni shrugged.

"Why not." He finished up his ice cream, taking both mine and his to the trash while I booked us tickets. As we walked back to the car, I felt a shift in mood with him.

"What's wrong?" I asked once we were in the safety of his car.

"Why don't you want to go near you house? Are you like ashamed?" He honestly asked without kicking around the bush, one of the reasons I liked him.

"No, I just don't want to put you in danger if people found out we were more than just friends. I can protect you, but if I'm not with you, I don't know what would happen." I replied back honesty. Giovanni nodded his head with a heavy sigh before turning on the car.

"Can we just go drive around instead of the movies?" He asked looking over at me. "I don't want to be in the dark for two hours."

I nodded my head and canceled the order for the tickets. "Where to?"

"Anywhere as long as I'm with you."

He's so cheesy.
