Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 10
Giannaâs P. O. V
âHe just ignored you? Didnât even say anything after?â she gasped.
I nodded and took a sip of the cocktail in front of me. After the awkward happenings at the Moritello house, I came straight home and told Celine all about it. She instantly suggested we make some drinks and thatâs what we were doing at the moment.
âAre you okay?â she asked attentively.
I sighed and placed the drink down, staring at the chipped silver nail polish on my finger nails. âI guess so, I didnât expect him to welcome the situation openly. Also, his wife was right there.â She smiled softly.
âDoesnât make it hurt any less.â I shrugged and looked away from her sympathetic smile. I wasnât at all heartbroken, but it stung. I didnât want to admit how smitten I had become over Alex in just a short period of time.
I blamed it on how long it has been since Iâve enjoyed any sÂŁxual experience. That was definitely the only logical reason as to why I was acting so deprived.
Celine stood up and dusted the back of her skirt. I looked up at her in question and she spoke, âCome on, no more moping around, and letâs go out.â
âWhere?â I asked skeptically, wanting to stay in my apartment all day and lounge around.
âWeâll have a girlâs day, itâs been way too long. Also, donât think I donât notice how messy your nails look.â
I groaned at her and she winked at me, walking off to freshen up, probably. Soon after, I followed suit, touching up my make-up.
The sound of my best friendâs heels echoed across the room and she picked up her purse and keys.
âReady to go?â

âWhich colour should I go with? Pink or white?â she asked, placing a hand on her hip in thought.
We were currently sitting in one of the most well-known Spaâs in our area. Deciding on what nail polish to choose, out of the vast variety of shades.
I looked up in the direction of all the fake nails and pondered on which colour would suit her better.
âDefinitely go with the nude pink- itâll match with your skin tone more.â
She snapped her fingers and looked at me in thanks. âTotal lifesaver, I would have been here forever. What are you choosing?â
I adjusted the cucumber slice over my eyes once more and sighed in content at the relaxing feeling of my feet sitting in a tub of warm water.
âRose gold.â She hummed in agreement and I felt her sit next to me and heard the water splash from her feet matching the place where mine were.
Celine was right. This was definitely needed.
I always took for granted how special and enjoyable hanging out with your best friend is. My friendship with her was one of the most important things in my life and I couldnât see myself living without her. We had a pact that promised us to always be friends no matter what tried to come between us, weâve stuck to that for the most part.
âDonât you feel much better now?â she asked, breaking my train of thought. âNow that youâve gotten Mr. âSexy Jerk faceâ out of your head.â
I replied, âWell now that youâve mentioned him, heâs right back in my mind.â
I had successfully forgotten all about Alex and our awkward encounter. I couldnât help but wonder what was going through his head at this moment. Was he thinking about me? Was he getting his nails done and bitching about me to his best friend?
Probably not, but the thoughts still lingered.
She sighed and reached across from her massage chair, gripping my hand slightly. âSorry, you know me, I donât think before I speak.â I laughed at that and shrugged my shoulders, thinking of something to say but couldnât find the right words. Settling us into a comfortable silence.
I pulled the strap of my purse, over my shoulder and walked out of the Spa, smiling over at Celine.
âThat was so relaxing, I feel like all my chakras are finally aligned.â I erupted into a fit of laughter and nodded my head in agreement.
We were just about to head over to Leoâs Pizzeria and pick up something to eat, starving from not having lunch prior to leaving our apartment.
The bell at the top of the door chimed as we entered, allowing everyone to be notified of the new presence in the aromatic restaurant.
My eyes roamed over the surrounding, slowly taking note of all the customerâs faces, when suddenly, in my peripheral vision, I recognized a mop of blonde hair, eating alone at one of the tables. Before I could act upon it, I felt a tug on my elbow and looked over at Celine in question.
âIsnât that the snarky Moritello bitch who gave you the stink eye over her husband?â she whispered, even though Sarah was far enough for her not to be able to hear us. She hasnât even noticed us yet.
I nodded my head and turned to look back at the older woman, freezing in my place when her eyes caught mine. She scraped her chair against the floor and walked towards us. My hands slightly trembled in nervousness at the idea of her causing a scene.
Sarah cleared her throat and looked at me for a mere second before shifting towards Celine and extending her hand forward. âHi, Iâm Sarah, the mother of the children Gianna looks after.â Celine slowly shook hands with her and immediately let go.
âIâve heard all about you Mrs. Moritello.â She answered with a snappy undertone, smiling slightly.
The tension in the room was as thick as possible.

âIve heard all about you Mrs. Moritello.â She answered with a snappy undertone,

The tension in the room was as thick as possible.
âGianna.â She started anxiously. âI came over here to apologize to you for my rude
behavior early today. I had talken out all my frustration on you and I It was highly
unprofessional. I hope you can forgive me for it.â
I didnât really have a choice. I thought, not wanting to come off as rude.
The way she acted towards me was unjustifiable and I had no intention of taking
her apology, so I settled for nodding lightly and smiling at the woman.
âIâd like to make it up to you. Would you consider coming to house tomorrow, for
dinner? No babysitting involved.â
I considered the idea for a bit and ended up agreeing to her invitation. Not wanting
to pass up the free food.
She smiled gratefuly. âAwesome. Iâl see you tomorrow at three.â
She gazedat Celine who stood there somewhat surprised, and waved, before doing
the same to me and turning around, heading back to her food
I stared at her retreating figure dumbfounded.
What have I just gotten myself into?
I hopeyâall enjoyed this chapter. I feel like Celine and Gianna should have a
girlâs day every once in a while, just so you have a look at other things in her
