Despair [updated] (GxG) (#JULIANTINA)

Chapter Six

After an I-don't-know-how-long drive with my girlfriend and her dad, we finally arrived at the airport.
I mentally cheered since Tessa and her dad are loud when they're together.
I get off from the backseat of the car and stretch out, "finally."
"Took you long enough," someone said from behind.
I turn and see Sergio.

"Well, if Tessa's dad would've gone at the speed limit we would've been here earlier," I quietly say to him which made him chuckle.
"Stop, don't say that. Her dad is nice," Sergio lightly pushes me as he helps me grab the suitcases.

I see Tessa hugging her dad then she comes over, "hey babe, sorry about the chaotic ride," and kisses my lips.
I smile at that, touching her chin with my thumb, "It's an alright baby."

I love the tiny moments of affection between us.

"Okay, enough PDA, now help me get your stuff out the trunk," Sergio interrupted us.

After Tessa's dad left we went inside to go get our tickets.

"Hey, I need to go do something real quick," Sergio said as he hurried away from Tessa and me.
I frown, What does he mean?

Then I see Valentina walking with him, with fucking Micheal.

Fuck.

"Oh my god! It's Valentina!" Tessa takes me towards them to which I wanted to pull away and run.
But I let myself get pulled by her only to greet the one I did not want to see.
"Hey!" Valentina greets with nervousness showing all over her face and body language.
She grips onto her phone when she's nervous, and she also touches her left cheek as she tries to be suave and cool.
I smirk at the sight.

"Tessa, I need to go get the tickets so imma go," I face her and she nods.

"Okay babe," and kisses my lips.

I then pull away and catch a glimpse of Valentina looking at Tessa and me.

She quickly looks away and smiles, continuing the conversation she was having with Sergio and Micheal.

I walk away, pondering about that moment.
But it's better not to overthink because I'll only get hurt.

~~

After the party, I never saw her again. It was like a one-time-thing but I didn't want it to be a one-time thing.
I wanted to see her again, but I went on for a week without seeing her.

A month later, I saw her.

She was crying, sobbing her eyes out in the middle of a public park. I didn't recognize her at first but then I saw her eyes and it immediately clicked.

"Hey!" I approach her.

She looks up, her eyes puffy red and her smile broken.
"Hi!" She wipes a tear and smiles.

I then see her breakdown.

I quickly sit down beside her and hold her hand.
"Hey, I may not know you but I want you to know that I'm here for you. Even if it's just for a little while," and she hugs me.
Sobbing into my neck, wetting my skin with her tears.
I never felt this way about someone before. I never felt guilty for someone's heartache.
Then, she pulls away.
I could see her face, she looked broken.
"I just need someone to understand me right now. I just need someone—"
I couldn't handle seeing her like that, so I kissed her.
Someone that I barely know is capable of making me do that.

She didn't pull away neither did I and I don't know how long it lasted, but it didn't matter because that was the beginning of something bigger than our problems.

That day, she had lost her father and I had lost my job.

~~

I didn't ask for this yet it happened.
"I'm going to kill you, Tessa!" I murmured between my teeth.
"What was that?"
I snap out of it, "oh, nothing."
We are currently inside the airplane, sitting in some first-class seats which are kind of nice.
They serve wine, champagne, whiskey, and even Mezcal.
They have a whole ass bar in here. Then there's some led lighting and the decoration is top-notch. Not as good as a private jet but comes close to it. And the food, delicious.
"This is very good," Sergio moaned as he took another bite of his quiche.
"Damn dude, you really appreciate food," I punch him in the arm.

I'm sitting on the inside while Tess is sitting asleep on the window side.
I sigh, thinking why did Tessa had to do this to me.
She doesn't know about my past and I think it's better if she doesn't find out.
