Adriana POV
I don’t know what went through my head, Alberto and I are not even close to been friends, and I am crying in his shoulder like he is everything to me. Am I wrong that I feel his presence calm me, like all I need is him, his presence. “We are here” I heard Jackson said, that means we are in school, I have to class. I inhale once more his cologne before I remove myself from his warm embrace, immediately I feel cold like am missing something. He then takes my chin making me look at him in the eye, “You know, you can ditch school today, we could go somewhere else.” ‘Am I dreaming? Is he doing this for me?’ Before I could answer he call out for Jackson “Jackson lets go to the winery.” Winery? Soon enough the car starts moving. All the way to this winery the car drive is silent, a good silent though, it was like we were giving each other space of some sort. It was the first time since I met him that we could actually be without fighting, or arguing or even kissing. This was good, I was glad we could at least be nice to each other, and I was happy to know that I could count on his if I needed someone like today. We arrived at the winery it was beautiful, a lot of people working around mostly men. “Why are most of the employees here men?” I asked getting out of the car, he held his hand for me to get which I did. I thought maybe he was just helping me out of the car but he didn’t let go of my hand, we walk through a long wall til we got to a door. As he open the door for me to go in he answered my question, “because most women think they can sleep their way up, that is something not aceptable here.” I just did an oh shaped with my mouth not knowing what to say to that. I mean he sleeps around, wouldn’t he feel lucky finding an employee wanting to sleep with him? I take a look around this is a nice office, it really doesn’t even look like an office except for the marble looking desk in the middle of the room. The room has no windows but it does have two brown sofas on one side while in the other side their is a long countertop with different alcohol beverages “I didn’t know godfather had a winery, now I know why your family is so rich.” I said while looking around admiring the good looking office.
Alberto POV
While she admire the office I was admiring her, her beauty even when she is wearing a big hoodie she looks good. ‘How can a girl look this good, after crying?’ *knock knock* there was a knock on the door I open the door and inn comes Rachel my secretary, she give Adriana a stare before she came to me. “I brought the papers you need to sign for the new wine.” She said giving me the papers, as I was signing I felt her hand on my shoulder, she was closer, I look up and saw Adriana turn to face the other way. She might think I have something with Rachel but I don’t. She is very attractive but she is not my type, plus she is new here, she was hired by my father after Adriana came to live with us. Since I met Adriana I haven’t been able to look at another women. Not in a s****l way at least, I tried but nothing worked, I moved her hand away from me. “You know I fired the secretary before you for not respecting my personal space. I suggest you keep your hand to yourself and some distance, unless you want to be the next to be fired.” She was surprise of what I have said to her but nothing less she walked out my office with the signed papers on her hand. I went to Adriana and led her to one of the sofas to sit and talk. After a while I excuse myself and called my mother telling her how Adriana felt, I feel like it’s not alright for us to celebrate. She agreed with me so she decided to cancel the party but not the cake.
Adriana POV
I don’t know what it is about Alberto but he has something in him that makes me comfortable, safe, I even forget the pain I have in my heart. I can’t let this keep on happening because I know I can’t trust him, I’m just another female he wants to bed. I sight in frustration because I think I’m starting to develop some kind of feelings towards him. Feelings that scare me, I don’t know him well enough I don’t even know how is it that I can feel this attraction to someone I don’t know.
Days kept passing by I was happy my friends called they said they were making plans to come visit in the one week vacation they were having soon. I wanted the distraction so badly the thing is since my birthday I have been trying to get as far as possible from Alberto. Fearing the feelings I’m starting to develop, I talked to my friends daily they know what I’m going through. I decided to go shopping today, I mean just to walk around the mall I really don’t need to buy anything. Jackson took me to the mall he insisted on walking with me that was until I needed to use the restroom. “Jackson I need to go use the restroom do you mind waiting here?” “I’m coming with you I will wait outside.” We walk to the restroom and just as promise he waited outside while I went inside. I felt a sharp pain the back of my neck close to the spine. I instantly put my hand on the area of which the pain is located, the room was spinning I tried to push my self to the near wall. Before I could reach the wall everything went black, I saw my parents with their handstraight out to me. I walk to them and hug them while crying, “I love you both so much please don’t leave me ever again.” “We love you more princess” my father’s voice how I miss them both, ‘wait..... does that mean I'm dead??’
