thirty-seven: trapped

not proof-read!

There is a difference on being a bitch and showing a man the mistake that he has made. A bitch would be pushing him in his pool and letting him drown, but what I am doing is showing him what happens when he pushed me straight to the deep end of the pool and letting me find my way back to the surface.

There's a different. Obviously.

I decided to move back to the house. Despite, Michelle's arguments saying that it would just lead to chaos.

But I beg to differ. I am just teaching him a lesson, that's all.

I am teaching him that women will not always fall for his feet and things don't always goes his way. He needs learn that sometimes saying sorry will not always be enough. You may say the words, but how do we actually know you are sincere?

That's just it. You don't.

Not until they have proved themselves.

I am not asking him to jump off a cliff for me. I am just asking him to prove that he is actually being sincere, because the whole point of saying sorry is that you won't do it again and you learn from your mistakes.

Marco needs to learn from his mistakes.

"So you are punishing him." Rita stated as she takes a spoonful of Nutella.

"No." I took the Nutella from her. "I am just teaching him a lesson."

Rita gave me a puzzled look. "A lesson about what? Not to piss you off, because 'Hell Hath no fury like a woman scorned."

I dip my spoon in the Nutella. "That I am not like other women and just forgives him every time. What happened when Marco pissed you off when you two were together?"

Rita snatched the jar of Nutella from me. "We weren't together. We had some messed up friends with benefits relationship. It's all about the sex when it comes to being Marco's lover. Nothing more."

I felt the green little monster in me wanting claw out of my body. "Oh, really?"

Am I jealous?

Of course I am.

"Now that I think about it the last time he had a lover was before you arrived. Ever since then I think he hasn't had a lover. You must have been keeping him occupied." She winked

I blushed and stared down at my lap. "Um, yeah sure." I mummer.

Rita gaped open her mouth and widened her eyes. "No way! You haven't jumped his bones yet! But he sexes up with every woman he meets." She said. "Well, except for her sister. Cause that would be nasty."

I rolled my eyes at her, snatching the Nutella from her.

❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎

"Rita, where exactly are we going?" I asked as she dragged me to God knows where.

"We, my dear, are going to have fun. You do know what fun is, right?" She asked teasingly.

I rolled my eyes. "Rita your idea of fun is hiring a male stripper."

She laughed. "So true, so true."

After being dragged around like a suitcase and not to mention a very long car journey, we finally arrived.

"Ophelia, welcome to Lake Como!"

I let out an audible gasp as I see the crystal blue water and green hills surrounding it. As well as houses.

"Wow, just wow."

Rita grinned. "I knew you would like it. How about we get some brunch? I know this amazing restaurant, they honestly have the best wine."

Ooh, wine.

"I'll be the judge of that." I grinned.

We both walk to a restaurant close by Lake Como. The restaurant that Rita told me about was completely dark and empty as soon as we entered.

"Rita? What's going on-"

I hear the door suddenly slam shut and my eyes widened.

"What the f-"

"Ophelia, is that you?" I heard Marco say.

We've been trapped, by Rita.

❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎

I sat on the floor hugging my legs. I seriously want to get out of here. Did Marco plan all of this?

"I guess this was all Rita's idea." He laughed lightly. "I guess she wanted us to talk."

I ignored him. I was suppose to be teaching him a lesson, and yes that includes ignoring him. Pretty four-year old you, Ophelia.

"You know, I didn't mean anything that I said." He stated. "My anger overtook me."

I shot up and glared at him. "Everyone is using that excuse! Even Michelle! It's the same 'my anger overtook me!' When are you going to just say that you were the one who said and meant it all?"

Great, now I sound like a crazy woman.

"I'm not using it as an excuse." He argued. "Why won't you forgive me?"

I wanted to rip my hair out. "Because I am tired! Ever since I came here it's been drama!"

"And you are saying nothing good as ever happened since you arrived?" He asked bitterly

"Yes." I answered

Marco laughs, but not in amusement. "I see. Well despite all the shit we have been through so far there is one thing that hasn't changed. I still fucking love you, you infuriating woman."

I froze; I stay still; I don't move a muscle. Did he just say that he loves me? Marco Donati loves me? After everything that I said? After saying that I didn't forgive him?

"I'm a bastard. A fucking bastard. I don't deserve you at all. But yet I can't seem to let you go. I love you. Even though you don't love me back, I love you. And I will love you until my last dying breathe." He confessed. His bright eyes stare into mine so intensely that I feel like I should look away before I melt into a pool from his gaze.

"Do you still think nothing good has ever happened now?"

No.

I sucked in a breathe. "You're an idiot."

"What?"

"I said you're an idiot! Why do you think I didn't go with Finn after he crushed me?! I still loved him. But I still didn't go with him!  Why do you think I kissed you back?! Why do you think I opened my heart out you?! I love you, Marco! Of course, I love you!" I screamed.

"You love me." He breathes. "You actually love me."

I smiled sadly. "I do. I love so much. But this is getting too much. One minute we are wanting to rip each other's heads off, the next we want to love each other. This is just so confusing. We need space until we both know what we want."

"I know what I want, Ophelia. I want you." He said the last part huskily.

"I can't be so sure of that." I whispered.

❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
