The Bythesea and Hinsen family has alaways been at odds with each other for years. This was something everybody in the town knew and the one person who got first haand information on this relationship is Gianna considering she and Maria Bythesea are best friends. Even as at that, Gianna couldn't really stop the attraction she felt for Nate Hinsen which eventually reultee in them dating. It was supposed to be her happy ending but it all crumbles when Nate leaves town without a word to her in 6 years. He's back now and is more determined than ever to get her back and not even her best friend could come between them
Chapter 1 Americano
Gianna's pov
"Can you believe it?" Maria asked.
"What is it Maria? Would you tell me already?" I replied almost annoyed.
She giggled. I wonder what she had to tell me, she never calls me out by this time at night except she had a fight with Alex which was a bit annoying seeing as they fought constantly but a friend has got to be a friend right?
She had told me about their fight already which was no surprise. Maria always said Alex was at fault which I was prone to believing at first but now I do wonder what if both parties were equally at fault. I mean Alex does try to keep up with someone like Maria even with all the baggage. You could see they clearly loved each other which brought a pang to my chest.I wanted a relationship like theirs too maybe even better. Someone I could tell everything and anything.
"You remember Nate right?"
"Nate? You mean Nate Hinsen? " I asked.
'It couldn't be him could it?' I thought to myself.
"Yes"she replied taking a sip from her drink "That bastard is back. You should have seen him..."
Impossible! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Nate was back? After all this time? No she's probably just joking with me it can't be, There's no way this is happening "...anna! Gianna!" Maria shouted bringing me back to reality "What are you thinking? Do you miss him?" She asked.
"What hell no!" I replied
She laughed "You were staring like he was your long lost lover"
'Well he is' I said to myself not that it was something I could tell Maria. She'd freak out if she found out Nate and I had tangled in the sheets in the past.
"Why would I even date that scumbag puff" I laughed sipping my drink.
"You should have seen the way he drove in today
Almost like he owned the town. Bastard"
He probably drove in like every other person would but ... Let's just say the Hinsen and Bythesea has got history together and that history started with being friends for generations and becoming enemies all of a sudden for generations the story is not mine to tell.
"Maria!"Alex shouted walking up to us
"About time"I whispered picking up my coat
"Alex?"She asked "what are you doing here?"
I turned to the bartender "He'll pay for our drinks"
"Gianna you did not!"Maria screamed at me as I smiled. I loved her but seriously this feud between them has been going on for some days and even if she had cried her eyes out two nights prior, she still refuses to see him.
"Thanks for the drink Alex"I said as I left the bar while blowing Maria a kiss.
Maria is gonna kill me for calling Alex but oh well it's not like I could leave her there. With my hands in pokect I looked at the sky Nate was back. Should I be happy or sad? Because I feel like shit right now.
After going missing for almost seven years he had to return now just when I was starting to get over him. I do better get home the night is cold just like my mood.
As I walked closer to my apartment I could see someone seated at the front. Huh? I thought to myself a burglar? But if it's a burglar he should already be inside my house. Who was it? Why isn't he leaving?
After walking around for over an hour I finally got the courage to walk up to this person. "Uhm excuse me?" I asked
He raised he's head looking up at me "Hey" he whispered. I paused almost falling. I remember this! I remember this green eyes that stared at me like they haven't got a problem in the world. No it can't be. This was impossible and why is he looking at me like that almost like he was saying finally.
"Nate?"
"Yes Gianna" He replied with a genuine smile. I had always thought what would be the first thing I would do if I ever see him again, maybe beat the crap out of him or telling to get out but the first thing I said was
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see you obviously."
"Don't get sacarstic with me right now. You disappeared for six years seven months and thirteen days not that I was counting and you think you can just waltz into my life like the fucking Cinderella right now?"
"Gianna I can explain."
"Yeah of course you can but do I look like I'm interested in hearing it?"
"Gianna please just listen to me" he said.
I loved the way he says my name. It always made my heart skip a bit. The lovely bass of his voice. Seeing him here in front of my house brought back memories I was so desperate to forget. I hate him for making me feel like this. For making me still want nothing more than for him to kiss me at this moment but no my anger supersedes any other emotion right now.
"I don't want to see you Nate. Standing at the front of my house and having this conversation in itself will spark rumors and you know it. Get out Nate and don't come back."
"No wait I've got..." I closed the door in his face before he could finish whatever he was saying. I was sick of this, all this time I've been trying to forget about him and he just comes up here smiling like he didn't mean to do anything? I fell to the ground sobbing.
"Gianna" I heard someone whisper. I knew that voice too well because I heard it just a moment ago
"What?" I asked with disbelieve. I stood up putting on the lights "How did you getting in?"
"The windows where opened" he said pointing at them. I forgot my ex was fucking Nate Hinsen. He do jump through any window to come find me or he used too.
"So? If it was open did it scream 'Nate if the door is locked I am the way' huh? Tell me!"
"Gianna listen to me would you"
"No!"I screamed throwing my bag at him "I don't want to!"
"Gia..."
I threw the nearest item my hand could reach to at him "Is it so had to leave me!"
"Wait..."
And the next one "wait? I should wait? Are u being serious right now? Don't you think I have waited enough?"
"No that's not what I mean"
"Right it's never what you mean!"
"Gianna listen to me please"He begged
"No!" I screamed "Nate please just leave me alone" I cried unable to bear it anymore "Haven't you done enough damage already"
"Gianna"
"Please Nate"
He opened his mouth about saying something but just whispered "Goodnight" jumping out the window. I fell to the ground crying. I was sick of
