Geovanni Marino, my love. Where do I begin?
I WROTE IN MY JOURNAL. I smiled thinking of him, though he's seated beside me on the bed rubbing my feet softly as he watched some random anime show.
I looked over to him & my smile grew.
Everything about him is perfect.
I noticed everything about him, I mean everything. From the smallest facial expression, to how many times he blinks in one single minute.
It's 11. 11 times he blinks.
I noticed the way he nibbled on his bottom lip when he's deeply focused on something.
I closed my journal no longer wanting to write & it seemed to catch his attention. He turned his head & looked at me, then at my closed journal.
"You're not writing anymore?" He asked glancing at the tv before looking at me again.
"No, you're distracting me." I said, & it's true because he is distracting me.
"Me? I'm not doing anything." He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion & chuckled.
"Yes you are, you're sexy as fuck & that's distracting." I groaned & he turned his head looking away from me attempting to hide the smile that formed on his lips.
I took my legs off his lap & I sat with my legs crossed. I placed my journal on my nightstand & just looked at him.
He finally turned his head & looked at me with innocent eyes. I stared deeply into his beautiful grey eyes & smiled earning a smile from him.
He extended his hand in front of me gesturing me to take it. I placed my hand in his & he pulled me onto his lap. I straddled him & he let go of my hand before both of his hands found their way onto my ass.
He then laid his head on my chest, directly above my heart beat.
"Don't forget about my brother's wedding tomorrow." He spoke & I nodded remembering about the wedding he told me about 3 months ago.
Luckily, my father had bought me a dress the same week Geo mentioned his brother's wedding.
Though Geo invited me, Zuri wanted me to get a " proper " invitation. She sent me a beautiful paper invitation officially inviting me to their wedding.
