Still Into You

Chapter 2: Baby Love

PAOLO'S POV

Sweaty palms, drying throat, breathing rapidly but not hyperventilating, and trembling feet. That's how tense I am. We are at the airport's parking lot to pick my friend's sister. I asked the twins (Jah and Zyron) if I could come because I was so excited to see her.

I was supposed to be in somewhere else right now and doing my first mission but I asked my men to get things done for me. This is more important than any other mission or responsibility that I'm carrying right now.

I can't believe that this is happening. Damn.. after 12 years. After 12 freaking years of being crazy missing her. My baby love, my baby, baby love.

Flashback.. a week ago.

"Come over and help us with something" that's the message I received from Jah this morning that's why I'm here at their house. They asked me to help pack some things for donations.

"How's the girl last night bro, she's kinda into you haha," Zyron asked, we were at our schoolmate's house party last night and they saw me talking with a girl. Yes, I can say that she's attracted to me but I don't feel like flirting with her. I'm a womanizer, a casanova, that's what many people say, and that's a fact. I like the chase, the getting to know kinda thing with a little flirt in it.

"Nothing happened bro, if "that's" what you wanna know" I answered while putting the folded clothes inside the box.

"Yeah? That's new" Jah said with an I-can't-believe-you-look.

"I just don't feel like doing it, bro. I've been dreaming about "her" these past few days and it feels like she's punishing me for being a playboy. I'm already feeling guilty, dang it" I answered as I looked to my ring. I asked my Mom for this when I was 7 and I had this readjusted every other year so it will fit my ring finger as I grew up.

"It's been 12 years and you're still into her, bro. You didn't even know where she is, I mean you did try to find her on the internet/social media but you got nothing. Move on bro, there's a lot of girls going crazy just to date you. You should not let that slipped" Jah said, I didn't answer. I don't know what to say.

I've been friends with them for 5 years, they were older than me. Actually, I met them because of Cleo, my cousin (Cleo and Jah are best friends since they were in middle school)

These twins know about the amazing girl that I met 12 years ago, they know a lot except on how she looks. I have a picture of us in my wallet that was taken years ago. She's really pretty, she has blue-gray eyes and thick eyelashes.

In the middle of thinking about her, I unintentionally get my wallet and stare at the picture.

Zyron saw what I did and grabbed my wallet. "wtf bro, why do you have this picture?" Zyron asked with shock in his eyes.

"That's us, the girl that I was talking about".. I'm confused with his reaction.

Zyron dragged me to the other room, I think it's their sister's bedroom because of the gray and pink themed. He handed me a picture, there I froze after realizing who it was.

My eyes welled in tears after seeing the little girl in the picture. It's her. It is really her. The girl that I love. The girl who always in my mind in everything I do.

"I take back what I've said earlier. Dang, it man. I can't believe what's happening right now. After all this time, you're looking for our sister?" Jah said and gestured a facepalm.
