7 Years Later "Adriana Amara Rosa get down here right now, move those little feet!" What has she done now? I’ve already got too much on my plate right now I can not at all be dealing with more issues. This is gonna take forever to get of the walls! "What happened mama?" I pointed to the wall she scribbled on. "Why baby why? I tell you don’t paint, don’t scribble don’t even touch the walls. It’s hard to get things off of them sweetie. It doesn't come off like 1 2 3 and I have to get to work soon, come on you know this already please co operate. C o o p e r a t e. Co operate. It means please darling work with me.” "I...I'm sorry." With that she began crying. Great. A crying child is what I need right now. I could cry right now but that’s an option I don’t exactly have because I have a heck ton of stuff to do. Like work. "Aw come here." She brought her head over to me and I wiped away her tears. "You're fine ok, you’re all fine. I'll fix this when I get home. Now you have school soo
I was contemplating the whole day if I should run back into my bosses office and cancel the Italy trip. It’s just a bad thing waiting to happen I know it. After my boss let me leave early, I went walking in the city. I stopped at my most favourite cafe ever and now I’m sitting alone in a corner with my laptop open. I know what you must be thinking what do I need it open for exactly? Well I’m debating whether or not I should look him up and find out where in Italy he is. So one part of my mind is telling me the obvious facts, he’s your ex Gabriella. Don’t go back to him. He’s moved on with his life. YOU have to move on with your life. Then the other part is stating facts I would not mind to be true. He probably still remembers you. You need to know if he works at where I’m going. This is just so you can avoid seeing him accidentally. It will rule out your doubts. My hand went to the key board typing the first letter of his name which I deleted and re typed a few more times. I then slamm
Someone got up to open the door and I introduced myself as what my boss told me to and came into the room. I felt nerves as I walked, I looked around scanning the room and observing everyone, all eyes were on me. The new person. Just great. I wish I could roll my eyes right now but, Gabriella, respect respect respect. I hate any and all forms of attention. Maybe I take that comment back, I love attention when I actually need it to feel some sort of way, for example if I feel like I look like absolute dog shit then yes give me positive attention or if I look especially good then I would love all eyes on me to give me praise and admiration for my outfit but when you’ve walked right into a room and all eyes turn to you of course that is the problem duh. Which explains why I’m just staring down at the floor to avoid any forms of human contact whilst waiting for people to go back to minding their own business and leave their eyes off of me. "You can sit there, it's not like he's going to s
I looked up to see who the mysterious voice was and of course...Luciano Martini. "Yeah sure that would be helpful." He pulled a tissue for my issue from his suit pocket and handed it over to me as he sat down, I realized where he was about to sit but looks like he made that observation for himself."Is that your throw up?" He asked with a little laugh. He always had a pretty laugh and I didn't need to really see that."Sorry...it was an accident and I couldn't find a bathroom in this big ass plac-""No it's fine, I don't think that many people actually throw up on the floor intentionally but for the next time you feel like throwing up just remember the bathrooms on the right.""That information would have been really useful a few minutes ago, but um anyway hi, I'm Gabr-""Oh no you don't have to explain, I know who you are. Do...Do you still remember me? Luciano?""Of course I do, how could I forget, you were basically the best and how can we ever forget the worst thing that ever happ
The meeting had shortly finished and now I was walking out but this time not alone. As I walked to the elevator I was joined by him. "So I was thinking we catch up soon maybe grab dinner? I mean you're in italy now and what have you done so far? I'm guessing something boring...we could even go to an art gallery afterwards? What do you think?" "I think this is very inappropriate since you're you know my boss?" "I could quit my job for you?" I laughed at his statement as the elevator stopped I got out and he followed. "Sorry but did I say something funny?" "So you want to give your big job 🔝 just for me, yeah right plus I don't date." I don't date because of Adrianna. I know that having a guy around...gosh I'd hate to have to have seen my mother moving on when I was a kid because a little bit of me had just a touch bit of faith that they'd get back together. "What you got a husband? A boyfriend? I meant what I said." "I have none of those. I just don't date people anymore. I thin
Luciano's POVI fell back onto my bed thinking about all of the things that happened today. I thought I'd never see her again. For seven years I didn’t see her. Thinking back I could have saved it, I could have saved our whole relationship. That night, I had some big plans, I was going to give her a promise ring then we'd go and watch some fireworks to end the night off, but that got ruined because my dad had gotten himself into some scandal and he said he needed me to come over. He said he needed me to come over and help him whilst the company was crumpling down and I tried telling him I can’t and asked if I could come later on because I wanted to give my full attention to Gabriella but no, he insisted I get on a plane right away. If I didn’t, he would cut me off. Meaning I’d lose every little thing. Everything. He was stressed out about the scandal, I can’t even remember what it was exactly about but all I know is that he was adamant on me getting there as fast as possible. I didn’t
Gabriella's POV I'm now back at work and the first person I see of course is Luciano, coffee in hand and all which he handed to me."How was your night and morning?" He asked with a cheerful smile. "Good, nothing too interesting happened. Like hey take this I didn't get robbed last night high five to me am I right?""Oh, well done! My night went amazing too, Amara came over to my house though.""AMARA! Please tell her I'm sorry for blocking her, I was going through some things, you would know." There is so much I deeply regret from way back then and I realised I did what she did to me, I iced her out. "Yeah sorry about that once again but I will and I will also explain absolutely everything to you on that date ok?""Ok, so do you...have any kids , wife, girlfriend?" I asked him."No, not right now that could change though.""What...you think I have a kid or something cause I really do not. Because if in any way shape or form I had a baby trust me you would know Luciano." I began dr
"You really do look beautiful right now. You know?" Luciano said as he stared into my eyes."Oh I think I know by now, this is like the fifth time you've said it. Come on tell me about you, your family, anything.""Ok, Well as you know my father retired, I own the company and I do like it but the thing is...I don't have the motivation or more like I don't push myself enough, which I want to change soon. So that's a goal. I haven't heard from my brother since he moved away to a random place, he just left a letter saying he's going away to take his years of relaxation and he isn't planning on coming back, he threw away his phone too.""Good things so far but tell me about Amara nowww.""Well, she's got a new bestie now, her husband. She's been married to julian for about 4 years now and she's never been better they even have a daughter now, you know I always thought you'd have a kid before she did because, I had planned out our possible future.""Wow so she's been busy then, glad she's
