I knock on Giannas door and her mother answers."Gianna! Luca is here!" She shouts, hurrying back into the kitchen.
Gianna slowly makes her way down the stairs. Right when we make eye contact she wobbles, tripping. I grab onto her waist, keeping her steady.
She mumbles something, cursing herself.
She wears a yellow spring dress. Her blue eyes find mine. She- she smells like... roses.
Her mom walks in, "Gianna!"
Oh shit her mom walks in.
I immediately let go and step back a little.
"I just wanted to tell you... have fun!"
"Well... thank you," she blushes.
Her blush is-. NOP! I can't think of that! Her blush is ...average.
"I gotta go," I excuse awkwardly.
"Oh! Yes! Go do... your work."
I rush out the door, practically jogging. I let go of the breath I didn't know I was holding when I get it the car.
My brother calls me.
"What?" I snap.
"Get over here! We need to shop for your bachelors party!"
"You didn't already do that?" I mumble.
"Hey! I heard that! Who is throwing this party again!"
"You," I sigh.
"Hurry up!"
-
My brother and I go threw isle by isle grabbing stuff.
More like him grabbing a bunch of junk that I will pay for.
"So... is she hot?" He grabs a load of balloons.
"Who?" I ask innocently.
"Gianna!"
"Oh... I guess?"
"What do you mean you guess?" He throws some napkins in the cart.
"I dunno?"
"Does she have boobs? A butt? Thick thighs? Pretty face?" He lists.
"Shut up, man," I throw a pack of napkins at his face.
"I guess I will see next week."
"Sure." I end it.
-
My brother gulps down an entire beer in like 10 seconds.
"Bro," he slurs. "Come on! Have fun!" He shouts watching a girl as she walks away.
"I'm getting married next week," I state.
"Marry, shmarry! Get drunk! Get laid! Your not married yet!" A girl grabs his collar leading into another room.
My god.
One of my best friends, Marcello, comes up to me.
"You good?"
"... no."
"Wanna talk?"
"No!" I glare at him.
"Right, you don't 'talk'... you need some fun," he decides.
"No I"-
"Waiter!" He calls over the bar. "We need four shots!"
I give up.
-
I find myself sleeping in a bed next to a random girl.
What the hell happened?
Im careful not to wake her up as I sneak out of the room.
Random guys lay all over the couches, passed out. I grab some Advil and swallow them down with water.
-
I ask Gianna out for breakfast but apparently she's in the middle of a spa day with her mother and sister.
I find myself not able to stop thinking about her. I needed to get rid of my feelings fast.
So I called up one of my old friends, Mia.
"Hello?" She purred.
"It's Luca."
"Oh heyyyy!"
"I need a favor."
"Anything for you."
"Come over."
"Coming," she hanged up.
I had to get my mind of Gianna. She was distracting me.
Sorry it was such a short chapter. I'm having a writing block.
