Stella's POV
"Did you see me cry?" I questioned, sadly. "Yes, I noticed you sitting alone and sobbing." He stated,
"And you made no attempt to console me." I murmured, my gaze fixed on him. My question took him by surprise. "umm I didn't like you- umm I didn't know you before so i- I don't know why I didn't do anything im not used to comforting anyone im sorry" he said looking down
"oh its ok but if you see someone crying you can give them a hug it will make them feel better" I said "hmm ok noted now can u tell me why u were crying?" He inquired once more, curious.
"oh that's because- *took a deep breath* I felt lonely I didn't have any friends I noticed that everyone in the party had someone to talk to other than their family but I had no one I wished to have someone to talk to other than my family, I was always lonely and I never had friends and when I talked to you you ignored me so thought that my personality was bad that's why-" Alessio embracing me cut me off from ranting.
"I'm sorry. That was not my intention. I had no intention of hurting you. I apologize "He apologized and patted my back.
"It's fine; you're my friend now, and you're the reason I have so many friends now," I answered cheerfully, hugging him.
"HEY, PAY ATTENTION, YOU TWO!" The professor glared at us, breaking our embrace. "I'm sorry," I said quietly, and the professor resumed his lecture.
"Could we please match tomorrow for the party?" I asked "Well, sure," .
"What color will you be wearing?" "Well, maybe blood red or something akin to that; why?" He replied. "Well, I'll wear the same color as well," I exclaimed, making him smile.
The class ended quickly, and we all went outside to discuss. "We'll come pick you up at 7," Jeremiah said.
"All well, I'll be ready by then." "Alright, byee, see ya," he waved as everyone went, leaving only me and Alessio. He turned to face me.
"Well, I guess I should get going now." "Take care," he said as he hugged me. I returned his hug. "You too, bye," I whispered, pulling away but he kept his hands on my waist and starring at my face.
He quickly brought his face near to mine and placed his gentle lips on my forehead. I was taken aback. He drew away and walked away without looking at me, which puzzled me.
I stood there with a red face and a tiny smile on my face at the time. "Should we go?" I noticed my brother approaching. So, if he had arrived a minute earlier, he would have seen it. Thank God.
"Ye-yeah, let's go," I replied as I followed him to his car.
When I got home, I pulled Mama aside and dashed towards my room, saying, "Mama, I have a party tomorrow, and I need to make an excuse for Papa, please." asked her with my puppy eyes,
"Oh wow, don't worry, hmmm, I'll tell him that you are staying at my sister's house."
"Awww, thank you, mama," I hugged her fiercely, "is that boy coming?" She inquired playfully.
"Which one?" I mentioned acting clueless. "Oh, please, no more acting! anyways "What do you plan to wear tomorrow?"
"mhmmm, I don't know, maybe anything with the color blood red?" "But why that particular color?" She asked. "Mhhm, I'm matching with someone," i inquired.
"Ohhhh, I happen to know who that someone is," She said smirking. "MAMA" I whined "OK, get fresh and come down to eat something," She said and left, leaving me flustered.
I was lying in my bed, trying to sleep, but I couldn't. I was much too thrilled about tomorrow, and even more excited about Alessio kissing me.... on the forehead, but that still counts, right...?
I reflected on how his gentle lips gradually touched my skin, creating an electric sensation I'd never felt before. I enjoy that sensation.
I quickly fell asleep while thinking about him well that how I feel asleep for the past few days thinking about him
