Scarlett
I quickly made breakfast and after we ate, we both got ready and headed to his place so he can get dressed before we headed to the mall.
"Are you ready yet?" I groan in boredom
"Yes, love" He chuckled and I made a face
"let's go. I'm starving"
"We just had breakfast"
"So? let's go" I pouted and walked outside to his car.
I'm pretty glad that I can be myself around Alessandro
———
Have you ever stopped and look at the person you love?
Do you ever smile as you realize that this is the person you don't mind growing old with?
Well, I can't relate because right now, I want to kill Alessandro. Why?
"I'm not putting on these barely there lingerie Alessandro!" I pick up a bra from the basket and throw it at him
"I remember how you like to save money and look, they have a sale. Just try some please?" He pleaded and walked closer to me, making me swallow a lump on my throat as I remember what happened last night
"Okay! Fine" I pouted and walked inside the fitting room.
I look at the lingerie and proceeded to put it on before gaging at how I look like, "It's on. It looks disgusting so I'm not buying it"
"Come out and let me see"
"Do you have a death wish?"
"Let me seeee"
I rolled my eyes and slowly walked out, "happy?" I look at Alessandro and he struggled to get words out of his mouth
"You should buy it," he finally said
"No Alessandro. It's not suited for my body"
"Oh this definitely does. Maybe we should go home" he winked and I scoffed
"Maybe you should go ho-" I stopped talking when Alessandro's eyes widened
"Alessandro" a girl mumbled as she walked out of the fitting room. She looks beautiful. Like an angel perhaps. She has a long brown hair, with curls, blue eyes, and she's tall as well. If she were to stand next to Alessandro, they'd look more of a couple than him and I do.
I suddenly had the urge to go back inside the fitting room and change back due to how uncomfortable she makes me feel. The lingerie fit her perfectly. It hugged her curves and complimented her face.
"Claire"
As her name escaped his lips, I felt a pain on my chest. Alessandro looked at her the way he looks at me.
I frowned, thinking if I should change or not. I mean, why shouldn't I? She's Gucci and I'm the Walmart version.
"I see you're with someone" she smiled and oh god! Even with her smile, guys would quickly get hard. Whereas if I were to smile, they would gag.
"Oh. Yeah. I'm with Scarlett" he smiled and shook her hand
She was his first love and I guess they were right. Your feelings for your first love never goes away. It will always be there. You'll only love the next person more than you loved your first love but in Alessandro's position, maybe he loves her more.
"I'm gonna go change" I mumbled and walked back inside, changing back to my clothes.
As soon as I walked out, they were both gone. I felt a pain on my chest once again but I decided to shake it off by walking out of the store and into the food court.
———
I look at the sad burger I ordered from McDonald's before taking a big bite.
He really left me inside the store to talk to "Claire". How did she even change so fast? Why did he leave me?
I feel my phone ring but I decided to ignore it, savoring my cheeseburger and fries.
I took a sip of my milkshake before feeling my phone ring again. I groaned and picked up the phone
"What?" I said, in anger
"Where are you?" I realized it was Alessandro and suddenly, I felt sad
"I'm going to Uber home"
"Why?"
"Don't worry about it. Go talk to Claire. Maybe if you see her again, you'll kick me out of the car and leave me. Just like what you did earlier"
I hear him whisper oh shit, "I'm sorry Scarlett. I got carried away. We were catching up and I had to apologize for what I did to Emilio when I last saw him at his place"
"Save your sorries" I hang up the phone and threw my food away, losing my appetite. Before I could walk to the exit, I feel someone grab my hand, "What the hell?" I look at the person
"Scarlett. Can you please just come with me?" Alessandro pleaded
"How did you find me?"
"I figured you'd go to the food court"
"I'm going home" I took his hand off my wrist
"Let me take you home. Please"
"Take Claire home. You might catch up more in the car ride to her place"
"Can I please just take you home? I'm sorry. You can stay mad at me but at least let me drive you home, knowing you're safe"
I sighed and gave in

"Look. I didn't mean to leave you" Alessandro tried to start a conversation and I shake my head
"You looked at her the way you looked at me" I mumbled.
"Yes. I did. She was my first love but that doesn't mean I love her again, if that's what you think. I remembered how she made me feel but that was in the past. I am grateful for what I have now. You."
I looked at Alessandro, taking in what he just said
"It just hurts to know that you can look at someone the way you look at me. Especially getting left behind? Do you know how fucked up that is?" I frowned and feel him put his hand on top of mine
"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings Scarlett. It is never my intention and I don't like hurting your feelings. It hurts me too. I feel really guilty for what I did to you and I hope that doesn't make you see me Differently. I hope you can forgive me" he said as he parked the car
I look at him and nodded, "I'm not okay with it but I understand. Though, that doesn't mean I will forget what you did to me"
"I'm really sorry Scarlett" he turned to me and grabbed my hands slowly
"I forgive you"
