Giselle's POV :
"Why are we having this conversation?" I asked him.
Then I answered my own question, "It's either you miss Michelle or you talk about love when you're drunk."
"Second." He mumbled.
"Why?" I asked him. I'm testing my luck.
"Because nobody loves me."
Now it was my turn to hit the sudden brakes. I stared at him and he stared back at me. He said, "Stop looking at me like that."
I started the car again and said, "You're batshit crazy. Your dad and brother love you."
"They're not my real dad and brother. They're actually my uncle and cousin. They just consider me as son and brother. I'm an only child."
"Do you remember anything about your parents?"
He banged his fist on the dashboard and said lowly, "NEVER talk about my parents again." After saying that, he chuc
Giselle's POV :Two months later:Even after two months, I still can't get him to open up. I guess I've made a 0.05% progress. The charity events became common and I think half my wardrobe is filled with fancy dresses. I totally forgot and don't care about Travis. My hair became longer. The whole world seems to change, but Tito doesn't change.Tonight is another charity event and my boss donates a lot of money for anything related to children. There was once a charity organization for children suffering from leukemia and he donated 10 million pounds! That's a truck load of money.He actually picks me up at charity events and drops me. I never dropped him again. He stuck to his word on no drinking. He lets me off early at every charity event. Because of these events, he gets more business partners.I got ready and waited downstairs for him. I like him. In
Giselle's POV :I saw the partially bald headed pot-belly man staring at me. I shuddered just at the thought. Would my boss seriously let him kiss me? I was repulsed at the thought.I stared at Tito and I found nothing on his face. Just his lips set in a thin line.Then in an instant, his warm, soft lips made contact with my cheek and I was saved because his sinewy arm wrapped around my waist. My mind couldn't decipher what was happening, but the only thing on my mind was his lips on my cheek. His LIPS on MY CHEEK! I may seem like a lovesick teen who's exaggerating, but that's what he's doing to me.We heard a few 'boos' from the crowd, because they were obviously expecting him to kiss me on my lips. I knew he wouldn't. how can he when he has Fortis's name tattooed on his chest. I mean I'm not jealous or anything, just stating facts.I want to meet Fortis one day.
Giselle's POV :When I came out of the bathroom, I saw the post it note crumpled on the ground. The tray hadn't even been touched and he left. Geez! Bipolar much? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? I guess he's angry at himself for breaking his 'no drinking' promise that he made.I got dressed and headed to work. At least I got enough sleep in this job. When I reached there, I greeted everyone and knocked on my boss's door to make him aware of my presence. I knocked, but there was no response, but there was no response, so I walked in and couldn't believe it.But, my eyes don't deceive me. People do. He was kissing a girl, he was deeply involved in it that he didn't even realize that someone was in the room. I didn't know what was worst. Walking in on him or watching him do it senselessly and carelessly. I want to run away from here, but I can't bring myself to move.Whe
Giselle's POV :Continuation of the phone call,"I loved you Travis, but I realized that it was only as a friend. I loved you truly, but as a friend. I was too blind to realize the difference. But, I got to know about it based on my experiences. By the way, I don't hold a grudge against you Travis. All I feel towards you both is indifference. I just don't care. When I saw you with her, I noticed the glow in your face. I just want you to be happy, but you should have at least had the decency to tell me. Anyways, that's all in the past, I honestly don't care what you or Tulia do. I think you get what I mean.""Wow Giselle, as a friend is a blow to my face, but I don't blame you, because that's what I realized as well. I hope you find your happiness. I'm sure you will Giselle, you are an amazing person.""Thanks Travis. Goodbye."When he said his fa
Giselle's POV :After the meeting was over, Mr. Moon walked up to me and asked me, "So did it work?""Did what work?""Was I successful in wooing you?"I scoffed and said, "I'm sorry, but the only one who could woo me was Joey." Tears were welling up in my eyes remembering Joey."Shit! I didn't mean to make you cry. You must've loved him dearly. What was his last name?""Marcello. Joey Marcello." I sniffed."How did he look?""He looked like a dream come true. His dark and big eyes would immediately make you fall in love with him. The way his golden fur would fly when he ran... ""Don't tell me you're talking about-""My golden retriever. He was my life. That's why I'm afraid of getting another dog."He scoffed and burst out in laughter. After he was done he said,
Giselle's POV :We walked hand in hand to our work place.All eyes were on us. Everyone was shocked. They were baffled that their boss, TITO ARMANIO held a woman's hand.When we went to our floor, he held my face in his hands and said, "I don't want you to get disturbed because of me. I won't bother you till you're done with your work.""What brought this sudden change in you? All this affection and your cold demeanor just vanished.""I'll tell you everything over dinner tonight.""Is that a way of asking me out Mr. Armanio?""I don't ask people out Ms. Marcello. They say 'yes' to me without me even asking."With that being said, he went to his cabin. I went to mine and started doing some work.When the clock struck 8, there was a knock on my door."I think it's about time we had
Giselle's POV :Three months later :Me and Tito have been dating for about 3 months now and I really like him. He's been such a gentleman and I can tell he cares about me.I care for him a lot that it honestly surprises me. I'm not in the love stage yet. But, I'm nearing to it.During our conference meetings, he tells the men to go out of the room if they start flirting with me.I knocked on his door and walked in without waiting for his reply.He had a grim expression on his face. He's been like this for the past week. I've been trying to get it out of him, but I failed to do so. I even asked him if he wanted to leave me, but that wasn't the case either. It pained me to say that, but I just want him to be happy."What's wrong honey? Is something bothering you?""Meet me on the rooftop a
Giselle's POV :I snatched the letter as soon as he signed it."Goodbye Mr.Armanio. I wish you good luck in your life."I didn't let him respond as I went out of the room.I went to the receptionist and collected all my files.I went to my cabin and cleaned out everything.Before I left the office, I went to his room and said, "I left all the files prepared for your next assistant.""Giselle.... I l-"I cut his sentence again, "You appreciate it, I know."He sighed and said, "I do. Will you tell me where you'll go?""That's for me to know and none of your business. Goodbye."As soon as I shut his door, I heard him scream in frustration. A smirk danced on my lips.I bid my farewell to all my colleagues. I didn't really have any work friends, becaus
