^Gabriel as Christian Yu
NILE
❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉
I walked out of that training room as fast as I could.
It was too hot in there to stay. Any more and I would have made a move.
I wanted to sleep over at Kiiara's room, but after tonight I would do something that neither of us would want to discuss the morning after. There was tension.
Heat.
Sparks.
Desire.
Her body definetly did something to me. I grab the keys out of my pocket and step into the humid but cool summer night. As I unlock the car I see a shadow with long black hair.
"Gabi?"
Gabriella turns around. "Nile."
"What are you doing outside?"
She walks up to me. "Taking a walk to clear my mind. What about you?"
"Just a last minute training session.
Gabriella nods and wraps her arms around my torso. For some reason my brain flashes back to the time Kiiara hugged me as a thank you for permitting her to speak with Jordan.
For some reason my brain compared Gabriella's embrace to Kiiara's.
For some reason my body liked Kiiara's better.
" I don't get time to see you anymore", she says against my chest.
"I know I'm super busy lately."
She lifts her head up to look at me. "Should I come over soon? We can chill."
Gabriella's version of chill is watching a movie and heavily making out after. I know she's into me and I was too-
Was? Since when has it been was?
I'm not attracted to anyone else.
My brain fails me and Kiiara's name pops up in my head.
"Earth to Nile?"
I clear my throat. "I'll call you soon."
She gives me a wide smile. "Okay."

Apartment
I strip down for a hot shower, despite the summer. I was always fond of hot showers ever since I was a kid, based on my mom.
I think about my family the most at night, when it is only me in my two-story apartment and I'm alone with my thoughts.
The murder of my parents was a mystery, a mystery that I was yet to solve. Yes, they were mafia leaders, but the way this accident happened tells me it was not a mafia enemy.
I grab my towel and head to my dresser for a pair of shorts and a hoodie.
When I found out that Kiiara's parents had a crash the same night it made me look for connections. All I found out was Gabriel was 8 years old.
