Something About You

21- What Are We?

We've been working on us for a while now if you count since the very first date we had. I try my hardest to resist doing inadequate things at the office. It almost always work, but then he comes and does a little something, little touching, little whispering in my ear, just a little action, and he knows I'm all his right there, no matter what I've said before. He drives me mad most of the time ­–always, actually. In such a short period of time, he's shown me he's a great person, but I'm still trying to get to know him better. Every single thing he has to say. If that was going to work, he had to open up to me. I've gotten to know him a bit better each time. A few things I do know about him, his family, some friends, some exes –yes, some exes too. Angela. As I said, we've been working on us, but we haven't set anything, there was not a label yet, I was not his girlfriend, I was just, his date, "We are dating", hanging out.

We respect each other, our time, our space, not really since he's almost always at my apartment, but I like it.  That night when he asked me about what was that thing that I held on to, I don't know why, but I felt like telling him everything, as I did.

I felt like something inside of me was telling me to just rely on him. I stopped fearing what I feared before. Ever since we had that conversation back then, things have been easier for me, because he understands me and why I act the way I do sometimes.

After that night we made love for the first time, We've been seeing each other constantly –To be honest, every single day, not only for work, but literally.

My birthday was this weekend and we haven't talked about that. I would like to hang out with my friends, and Gino, but I was not sure just yet.

Leah was still in standby, she didn't know what was gonna happen. I mean, she knew he apparently said he needed to go with it without her. But he wasn't expecting her to just back off and let him go, he kind of feared losing her which was something cute, in my opinion. After all I told her to just follow her heart, if she was sure about him, she needed to do it. At least give it a try, as she told me to and as I did.

Hannah has, surprisingly, been quite, I didn't know how I  should've felt about that but since she's not bothering me, I won't make a move.

None of the Brown Family have been around. That's really good. Gino hung out with Rodrigo like twice after the party but nothing else. Just as with Hannah, if they're not bothering me, then it's okay.

I was reading some paper when I felt a knock on the door. "Come on in" I didn't look up. "Baby!" "Leah!!! What a great surprise" she gave me a side smile, "What are you doing here?" "Well, so it's your birthday this weekend and of course, I needed to plan something, so you and me are flying over to Los Angeles this Friday. It's all planned so please don't say no, I mean, you can't...and don't worry...I talked to some people and it's completely fine if you take this Friday off" oh my god. "But..." "Don't say anything, just pack your things."

She was talking when Gino came in. "Hey bab-" he was cut off by Leah. "Leah...Nice surprise" "I'm a surprise today" she said with a teasing tone. "Come here" I said to Gino as he leaned closer kissing me. "Oh...Okay so what's going on here?" I did that on purpose, I believe that was the first time she saw us actually kissing like that. I smirked. "Well...I don't know" Gino said and I looked at him biting my lip. "You and I are having a little conversation later" Leah said grabbing her purse coming to me, "You own me a conversation too, remember" "We'll have enough time for that. I'll see you later" she kissed me and walked away.

Gino stayed there. "Close the door and come here please" I demanded. "What are we?" I asked sitting at the edge of my desk as he placed his hands on my waist. "What do you want us to be?" He softly said. I smirked. "Quit the bullshit. I'm serious" "So am I" he assured. "What do you want us to be?" he asked again and held my waist firmly giving me this sweet smile he has.
