Giovanni POV
" What the fuck was that Nathaniel " I ask him I swear I want to kill someone right now I've just made a fool of myself, " Boss I'm really sorry I was sure she was vacationing by herself " He says with his head bowed, "As you should Nathaniel, as you should.
Your going to leave right now and get me information on that loser and make sure this time you do your bloody job before I find someone else to do it for you. " I say to him in a pissed tone I'm half way from shooting every damn soul in this place.
knock knock " Hi big brother seems like your in a bad mood as always " that's my annoying young sister Jessica. " What do you want Jes, today is not the day to piss me off " I say to her not even looking at her. I'm just super pissed I'm not in the mood for her drama today.
" Geez what's got your panties in a twist today ?. Yeah I know your always grumpy but today you look murderous your drug dealing ways finally checking up on you perhaps " She asks taking a magazine from my desk and putting her feet on my desk, as much as I want to tell her to take off her feet from my desk I restrain myself I'm just not in the mood to do that right now.
Fuck I've actually never felt like this, it's not like I love her don't get me wrong I just hate to lose, I like to be in control always. "If I didn't know you I'd say your having relationship problems but since I know you don't possess the ability to love, I'll ask again what's wrong Gio I know you think I hate you like I hate dad but your my brother I can never hate you, I just don't understand why you have to be like dad. You really can talk to me you know ? "
She says but I know better she's my only sister and I know her better than she probably knows herself I wonder what she wants now. " What do you want Jes there's always something with you " I ask. " Well today it's not me who wants something, mom wants you to visit and spend time with her you never visit " Jessica tells me, me and my father don't really see eye to eye right now and I don't want to be in the same room as him so the answer is no.
Melodys POV
" Mel wake up " That's Oliver his definitely a morning person I just don't know how he does it, he needs to give me some of his energy. " Why do I have to wake up so early what time is it anyway " I ask him I don't feel like waking up I feel like I just slept, damn this jetlagged thing is messed up.
" It's 9 0 clock that's like almost midday already get your ass out of bed girl " He says taking the blanket away from me, well I guess now I don't have a choice but to wake up.
I guess today is the day I'm going to see what Paris has to offer, I'm excited and now since I'm not feeling bloated anymore I think I'm going to try eat different French cuisines, mhm yum my mouth is already watering just at the thought,
" Let me guess, the smile on your face says your thinking about food. I guess your feeling better now, I was starting to worry " He definitely knows me well probably better than I know myself, if I didn't regard him as my brother slash friend I'd probably marry him.
" Correct you know me very well I guess that's what years of friendship does " I say before getting of the bed and checking an outfit for today, I don't know what I'm going to wear I don't even know where we are going to begin with Oliver says it's a surprise. " So since your not telling me where we are going the least you could do is tell me what to wear" I say to him, his not facing me, his busy on his phone and seems to be in a totally different world he didn't even hear what I said.
" Oliver" I try again " Yes Mel what is it" he says turning to face me with a smile on his face. Good news I guess ? " I was saying what should I wear since I don't know where we are going " I ask him. " Anything you are comfortable in you always look beautiful " He says winking at me. Okay that's a bit weird is Oliver flirting with me ?
" Okay I think jeans will do then, I'm hungry what are we going to have " I ask Oliver while I look for the clothes to wear I just want to have a bath before we hit the road and brush my teeth. " I'll order room service for us you can go bath and it'll be ready by the time your back just don't take too long " He says before going to the hotel landline.
So now were done with everything, were now downstairs waiting for an uber to take us to our mysterious location. But I'm not worried I know whatever Oliver has planned I'll love it he has never disappointed me and I believe in him.
The car arrives and Oliver takes my hand and leads me to the car he opens the door for me and I get in, he closes the door and goes around to the other side opens the door and gets in. " Ready to officially explore Paris " He asks me with a smile, there's a look in his eyes that I can't explain there's some mischief in them and I wonder what he has planned for us.
" As ready as I'll ever ever be " I say with a smile on my face, it's going to be a good day. After about an hour long drive we pull up at Eiffel Tower. As much as I should be happy I'm here I've just always thought I'd come here with someone special not Oliver. That's like taking your brother to the prom, I don't want to disappoint him though so I pretend that I'm very ecstatic. " Not the reaction I expected from you " Oliver says. of course he doesn't believe my excitement he knows me too well.
" As much as I love you O, I just had a different picture of my first time going to the iconic Eiffel Tower, most people here are couples celebrating their love some are married and are on their honeymoon and I'm here with you " I say and I immediately regret it, pain flashes in his eyes and he looks hurt.
I didn't mean to come across mean I just wanted to explain but seems like I put it in a wrong manner." look I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that, you mean the world to me but surely you understand what I'm trying to say " I say to him with pleading eyes I just don't want him to be mad at me that was not the intention, I don't want to see him hurt.
" I understand you very well, don't worry it's my fault I didn't think this through I just wanted to surprise you but clearly I didn't think this through " He says and turns to leave leaving me alone there thinking what the hell just happened.
This wasn't how I pictured things when I was planning for this holiday, I certainly didn't expect my bestfriend to be pissed at me, I am a bad person I don't think so. " Cotton candy " I turn to the voice to see cotton candy in my face, " Hi I'm hilary you look kind of lost and depressed and I'm also not in good spirits thought maybe we cheer each other up ?" She says while still holding out the cotton candy for me to take. " Thanks" I say to her while taking some, it's really good.
" You know what they say there's nothing some good cotton candy can't fix" She says while taking a seat next to me. Hillary is a very beautiful woman she's got gorgeous brown eyes and hair that's totally better than mine that's for sure.
" So in the city of love what makes a beautiful girl like yourself sit here all alone " She says looking at me like she's eager to know everything about me. " Fight with my bestfriend and he decided to ditch me and you " I ask her trying to not get emotional about it. " Ditched at the altar by my girlfriend of 3 years " She says with a shrug like it's nothing, " What..... um is that a joke, if not how can you be so calm about it " I ask her, trying to wrap my head around what I'm hearing, she looks at me in the eyes as if trying to show me how serious she is.
" In this life we choose the things we allow to break us, and I choose not to break " She says before standing up and leaving, I sit there watching her leave and wondering where Oliver is right now, I need to talk to him and make things right.
Melodys POVHillary is very strong but she's also weird, right I'm stuck between going to find Oliver or going to eat I'm starving but I doubt I'll enjoy it by myself. I take out my phone from my purse and call Oliver, it rings continously and I'm kind of worried he might not pick up my call, but before it can go to voicemail he picks up." Hi O I'm really sorry where are you ? Let's fix this, I shouldn't have said those things I said to you please forgive me. Can you please come back I'll make it up to you dinner on me at the Fitzgerald restaurant I've been dying to go there, please say yes " I desperately plead with him, " only on one condition "He replies and I'm quick to immediately say yes I'll do anything he wants. " Your not paying, I am. what kind of man allows a woman to pay for him, t
Giovanni's POVI've decided the best distraction is my work, I'm currently at the office at the moment doing some paperwork and checking how much money I'm receiving and if there's anyone stealing from me, I think my employees know better than to do that but you'll never.I hear a knock at the door and I'm assistant Hillary comes in, Mr black Nathaniel is here to see you should I send him in, I just nod and she leaves and in comes Nathaniel. "Boss I have the information you asked me for " He says holding a document in his hands, I motion for him to sit" The name is Oliver Presley it seems his and her family are friends and they grew up together they are best friends, while she was in med school he was doing engineering and has his o

If the wheels were reversed Oliver would never leave my side that's just how good of a friend he is and here I am dining at a posh restaurant " Melody says already preparing to leave." Okay allow me to come with you and be there for you, it may get lonely waiting by yourself and I'm not taking no for an answer " that's Giovanni speaking, he pays the bill and they both leave the restaurant. While in the car Melody feels his gaze on her and looks at him with questioning eyes.
Third POVAfter Melody recovers from her shock, she knows she has to let her parents know.
