The secret he never told

Chapter 8

Gianna's POV

The next morning , the buzz on my phone woke me. I picked it up with my focus still unclear.

"Any breakfast plan, Gianna?"

It was very difficult to sleep on someone else's bed , I was definitely not comfortable there. I wished I could return to my apartment and give a hug to my bed. I sighed with a morning smile as I rolled unto my side. My tired fingers traced over the small buttons happily as I remembered yesterday's scene with Roan.

"Roan , let me get fresh first ;)"

As I waited for his response I splashed on my face to feel fresh.

"Well. I like that Gianna, Hayden here"

What? My eyes auto focused at once and zoomed with held-back breath o the new number on the top . It was Hayden.

I walked to his room asking him for breakfast , I knocked at his room. The minutes it took him to open the door excruciating slowly , and I bit my fingernails nervously all the while. I thought that I was disturbing him. I was about to leave and lie to my bed again when  he opened the door yawning . Eyes red.

"Did I just disturb you?" I shrugged.

He chuckled and rolled his eyes "Of course not , Gianna Carter"

What did he just call me? I moved in with him because he wanted to. Now he was trying to show as if he was doing a fucking favor for me. I stomped to the floor , clenched my teeth and fists , snorting like never before. I though , a migraine attack was definitely about to come.

"Roan! How dare you change my last name" I spat as he was fucking trying to figure things out , but I didn't give him a chance to speak. "Its Brown , Gianna Brown . I didn't expect that from you , and how stupid I am that I moved in with a guy , a filthy billionaire , like you. Mom left me , Sara left me and you.." silence crept into the space . "cheated on me" I yelled at him so bad.

All at once , he turned me to other side and kissed my neck. "Gianna , I love you"

Maybe time stopped when his lips met mine, but the flutter only intensified. My heart pounded in his chest as my knees got weaker. I could only focus on how soft he felt against my mouth, how addictively he invaded all my senses , my anger though.

My whole body tingled, the feel of his frame leaning on mine as his arms wrapped around me felt nearly forbidden. He pulled me in, claiming his mouth again, hungry and intense, until my knees gave in again. By the time I became aware of his fingers, they had already slipped under my poncho , my skin was smooth and radiating heat.

"Roan? I...". He put his fingers on my lips as he chimed in "I know you didn't like me calling you with my surname " he tugged me again. "I just wanted you to yell at me , and I shut your mouth with a lip lock".

"Roan!" I pushed him. My heart was throbbing too much , I was very excited to tell Linda what just happened. He loves me? I closed my eyes and I saw Hayden's face . Wtf

"Roan? Do you love me" I hugged him tight.

"Gianna, I want you badly! I love you , your existence and..err... your this" he showed me my blue bra with dots.

"Roan!" I stomped my feet as he chuckled and encircled me in his arms. "Let do it together" he bit earlobe.

"What?" I turned back.

"Breakfast , SWEETIE" he grinned.  

We rushed to the kitchen , I was really hungry since I didn't eat that last night, but not thirsty because he quenched it. It was a very large Alno kitchen , most probably , larger than my apartment. I was checking for some fruit juices in the fridge to start my new day with a better start.

"So Gianna , why don't you call me my nickname?" he poured milk in the cup.

"I am sorry , Roan I took a gulp of apple juice. "I didn't mean that"

"You mean that , but how you came to call me this" he chuckled.

I was silence for a minute or two then I ejaculated laughing "You had a boner!" .

A roar of laughter escaped his mouth. Tears streamed down his , and his body shook , spitting the milk on dining table "Are you serious?" . "I didn't have a boner then . It would be my pants mistake , why would I have it?" he bored in my eyes.

"What? It was all about it" I remarked .

"Gianna , will you come with me to Vegas? My friend Cole and his wife are still waiting for us to reply 'yes' . I know them they wouldn't go without us".

Leaving California , for me was very difficult because I will still be dependent on him . Firstly , I needed to do a job then definitely I'll manage my time for him . Actually , he managed an enormous amount of time with me . I loved him too , I didn't know? . But , however, with my favoring issue I was not going to accept this.

"Sorry darling , I just can't . You can take a flight to Vegas anytime" as I played with my finer nails he turned me around and cupped my cheeks "Without you , I'll not go. Gianna, without you . I'll never ever go".

"But Hayden..."

What the fuck did I just say , my body was completely paralyzed . My hands became numb and sweaty ,and all over my body a shivering sensation bolted upon me.

He glanced away and clenched his teeth. I was sure he had listened his name from my sonofabitch mouth. But , as I noticed he was staring at a picture on the wall.

"This picture reminds me that we always need a family" suddenly his all emotions faded. He took his oats with him and glared at me "But what..?".

Oh my God , I was so damn fortunate he didn't listen to what I said or he was just pretending to be oblivious to. No matter how , I felt he was hiding something from me.

                           ********
I hid everything from you ,

But soon, all it be, in front of you,

You didn't say I love you too,

So I say 'Who'?
