34. I Want You To Let Me Go
DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA! Let me know what you all think!
-Gabs
Alessia POV
Charlotte and Gaia who are in mid-conversation stop at the sight of me.
"What?" I say, their eyes follows me as I walk over to the fridge. "Just grabbing a soda."
They both share concerned glances.
"Are you leaving?" Gaia says.
"Just getting some air."
"You shouldn't have come." Gaia says.
"Excuse me?" I close the fridge soda in my hand. I sigh. "Look Gaia I know it's been a little stiff between us, but I promise I'm not here to judge..."
She shakes her head, "No you don't understand, Hilda-Maria is gonna..."
"We saw you." Charlotte utters. They both look like they've seen a ghost.
I frown "What are you guys..."
My phone starts vibrating in my pocket. "It's my mother sorry." I excuse myself and head for the front door.
Closing the door behind me I answer without checking the display, "Hello?"
"Hi, it's me." Alicia's voice is heard the other end.
"Err...Is everything okey?" I say, not knowing what else to say. I haven't forgotten about our kiss. I think I understand what Alicia ment. I'm sure I like boys, but kissing her was a thrill of it's own. Kissing a girl meant equality grace, equally sense of body.
"Are you still at the park?"
"No, actually I'm at Hilda-Maria's." I chuckle.
"Really, why?" I can tell she has a frown.
"Valentino's friends are here so..."
"Right, are they cool?" She says mockingly.
I chuckle, "No, they're all stoners, even Valentino." Last part I mumble.
The line is silent for a moment, "Are you surprised?" She says.
I watch a steamy cloud leave my mouth, the night is cold. " I dunno?"
"I'm not." She says, "I mean just look at who he hangs out with."
"I guess." I mumble. I'm pacing back and forth on Hilda-Maria's front lawn.
"I hope you're not thinking of getting into that stuff, look what happened to me."
"I'm not!" I'm quick to say.
"Good, besides, La Fab has a strict no drugs and alcohol policy."
I frown, "no drugs and alcohol in Paris France, the land of the fine wines?"
Alicia's giggles tickles my ear, "Okey I lied, I don't really know about their policies, but I'm assuming, since it's a school."
"You're probably right."
"Aren't I always?" She chants.
I smile, phone pressed to my ear.
"Speaking of La Fab, the reason why I called is because my mother wanted me to invite you and your family for a celebration dinner soon."
"Cool, I just have to break the news to my mother first, she'll be thrilled to hear that we got in."
"Great, see ya in school."
"See ya."
Hanging up, a warm feeling still lingers my stomach. I'm happy that Alicia and I are back together, as friends that is.
"Who were you talking to?" A voice says behind me. Turning around, Valentino is standing in front of the door, hands in his pocket.
My nose has begun to run because of the cold breeze. "No one." I sniffle.
"No tell me, I want to know." He steps in front of the door preventing me from entering.
I cross my arms desperately trying to keep warm. "Vale." I groan.
"Who were you talking to?" He says.
"Alicia!" I hiss, I'm shivering now, still he blocks the door.
"What were you guys talking about?"
I felt like a child who desperately needed to pee but couldn't. "Nothing, now move I'm freezing." Valentino ignores my plea. "So it's true, what everyone is saying."
"Is what true and who's everyone?" I say, jumping from toe to toe.
"That you're bisexual and Alicia is your, you know..."
I stop jumping. "Alicia is my what?"
"Your, girlfriend? Lover? whatever the fuck you call it."
For a moment I wished to close my eyes only to reopen them and see my bedroom appear in front of me. "Who told you this?" I stutter.
"Doesn't matter." Valentino storms off.
"Vale wait, I can explain!" I shout, we're headed towards the car. At first he ignores me then he abruptly turns around.
"Earlier today when you asked me to drop you off, since you had a thing, you went to see her didn't you."
"Yes!" I cry. "Only because she had something important to tell me."
"And what was that?"
I quickly realised that I hadn't told him about the letter that is still burning in my pocket. I don't want to tell him, not now, at least not like this. "That she got accepted to the university in France." I sniffle.
"And you? Did you get accepted.".
I squint my eyes before I nod. Valentino starts walking again, I'm right behind. He rips the car door open, luckily my side isn't locked, we both get in.
"Vale I didn't want to tell you like this I..."
"Seems to me like you didn't want to tell me at all".
I sigh, "What happened between me and Alicia, it's not what you think and I'm not bisexual." Tears warm my cheeks.
"I guess now it makes sense why we haven't done it in like a week."
Anger pierce my heart. "Would you stop it, I already told you that I was on my period."
Valentino shrugs his shoulders, " Yeah, which probably makes sense why you're more attractive to women this week."
You know when you accidentally burn yourself on the stove and your nerves sort of take over the control of your hand during that split second it pulls away from the stove? That's what it felt like slapping Valentino.
Theirs smothering silence, all I can hear is my heart racing. Valentino is still squinting his eyes from the pain of the hit.
"Fuck you!" I say before getting out of the car.
*******
I'm walking, I'm cold and I'm walking towards my home that I know is still miles away.
I'm nowhere near Hilda-Maria's neighbourhood anymore, there are no street lights on this road, the only lights illuminating the road are the headlights of Valentino's truck that has been tailing me ever since I jump out of it.
"Lessy please!" I hear him shout from behind. "I'm sorry, just get in and I'll take you home!"
I continue ignoring him, like I've been doing the last forty-five minutes. This is how Jack from Titanic must have felt in that ice water. I have the urge to bite my fingers off, that's how much they hurt right now.
Shredding noise echoes through the night as Valentino finally speeds past me, he doesn't drive away he stops meters in front of me, blocking the road with the truck. I stop walking.
The door opens and he steps out. "Lessy please, look at you, you're freezing." When he steps closer I step back. "Come on." He plea.
My shoulders are pressed all the way up to my ears. With small steps I start walking towards the car, it hurts to cry and I'm afraid that my tears will turn into ice soon. I look straight ahead passing Valentino, I hear him get in on his side, however as I come around the truck I don't get in I just keep on walking.
"Oh for fuck sake....Alessia get in!" I hear him shout at the top of his lungs.
I hear the door slam shut or open, I don't know, then his running footsteps.
I'm forcefully pulled back to the truck, he doesn't stop until my back hits the side of the truck.
"Let me go!" I yell in his face. His breathing is heavy, he's angry too.
"Alessia why are you doing this?"
It's like I can't hear him, I start waving my arms "let me go!".
Valentino catches my arms and pins them against the side of the truck. "I'm sorry okey, what more do you want me to do!"
My voice is calm "I want you to let me go."
He sighs, his head bowed down against my shoulder. Valentino's grip around my wrist loosen. I bring my arms to my side but I stay with my back against the truck door. Valentino's head is still bowed down against my shoulder, he moves around a bit caressing the crease of my neck with his lips. I collect myself to try to move, however I can't. He has let go of my wrist but his whole body is still pushed against me preventing me from moving a muscle. "Valentino, let me go now, I wanna go home." I whisper, my lips caress his cheek.
"I'll take you home." He mumbles, his voice is hoarse. Suddenly I feel him plant soft kisses on my neck. I want to reject the electricity it is sending through my whole body. One of his hands slowly moves over my torso all the way up to my collar bone, where he stops for a second before continuing to my neck. He grips his hand around my neck, my mouth automatically falls open, gasping for more air as the grip tightens. His head leaves my neck to look at me, Valentino's bright eyes aren't visible in the dark.
Suddenly he looks down as my hands reaches for his belt. Our eyes meet again. I've never felt this way before, my body screams for him but my mind is telling me no.
Our lips never touch during. I remember the car door opening behind me, I lay down in the backseat, Valentino climbs on top of me. There is tears running down from the corner of my eye, occasionally I let out a quiet moan while his hips thrust against me, otherwise I just lay there like a dead fish staring up at the sealing.
His heavy breathing stops after a while and we lay still, his body on top of mine. I feel him shiver, not because he's cold, he is crying too.
No! :(
It was a though one to write, what's your thoughts?
