Danielle ^^

Scarlett

11 more days before you leave Scarlett.

The closer I get with Alessandro, the closer I am to liking him more.

Oh God I don't want to leave this place.

"Hey Scarlett" I hear a familiar voice greet me and I looked at the person

"Alessandro. Um what do you need?"

"Do you want to come with me and the others to a club?" He scratched the back of his neck, eager to get an answer from me

"Uh sure. I'll go get ready" I stood up and walked towards my closet. When I opened the door, I turned to see Alessandro still standing in front of the door

"Um?" I coughed and his cheeks turned red

"Oh right. Sorry. I'll uh go" he opened the door and left

He's cute

~~

"What's this place" I frowned as I looked at the club

"A club duh!" Cris chuckled

"Like I didn't now that," I paused and panicked "wait. I don't have an I.D how will I enter?"

"Well we were wondering if you can flash your boobs to the bouncer"

"What?!? No!" My eyes widened and everyone started laughing

"I'm kidding sheesh. We have that covered" I sighed in relief

These people

~~

"You having fun?" Alessandro stood beside me with a drink on his hand.

I went to the balcony because I wasn't enjoying the party.

"Yeah. I guess" I shrugged and looked at the stars.

"Beautiful aren't they?" I looked at him and nodded "just like you" he then looked back at me and smiled

"Alessandro, yo-"

"Don't Scarlett. I know you are hurting. I know you are wounded. I know you have cracks in your body from people who hurt you and I know that you don't like those cracks so you hide it. Just promise me that you will never conceal your cracks because I will only see those cracks as places in which to fill with love." My lips trembled at what Alessandro just said. He stepped closer to me and cupped my face with both of his hands "You might not know what you deserve at the moment, and that is okay. Promise me that you will believe that you do not deserve to be unhappy. Promise me you will believe that you mean something." A tear escaped from his eyes and before I know it, his lips touched my lips.

Alessandro Raniero, the man who I never thought would be capable of liking a woman, is kissing me right now and he managed to make me feel... worth it

I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

A few seconds later, we broke our kiss.

"I like you Scarlett"

"I like you too Alessandro"  he smiled and hugged me

"Shall we go back inside?" He chuckled and I nod

"Yeah. We should" he lets me go and intertwined his fingers with mine before walking back inside the club.

This feels nice... I finally feel wanted. Maybe not by everyone but by Alessandro

"Alessandro?" A woman stops us and Alessandro let's go of my hand

"Danielle" Alessandro looked at her with wide eyes

"God! Alessandro! I've been looking for you everywhere! Where have you been? You got me worried and sick!" She frowned and pushed me aside

"I've been busy." Alessandro replied and Danielle giggled

"Of course you've been busy. Don't fret! I'm here now." She wrapped her arms around his neck before kissing his lips.

Right at that moment, my heart broke and everything that I felt for Alessandro was torn into pieces.

What broke my heart even more is, he kissed her back.

Yikes! wasn't expecting that huh?
