Chapter 184: The One Everyone Wanted
Maybe Gabriella realized that she is speaking of the wrong thing, she stopped. "How did you end up here, Melanie?" she asked.
Viviana turned with a smile and offered her the wine she poured for her pretending that she didn’t notice her pause. "It’s a long story..." Viviana let out a long breath. "Or it might be a very short one... I don’t know why I’m here or what he..." she stared at the distance as she remembered what happened in the morning.
She can try to ignore it all she wants to. But it happened. And he implied a lot. It can’t be good. It can’t be. It’s her life. Nothing good comes for her.
"How did you end up here? How do you know Leander?" Viviana asked.
Gabriella sipped the wine and stared at the glass for some time. "Those two were my classmates. Leander and...Lionel. We were friends... before everything went wrong..." Gabriella bowed her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Viviana could see that Gabriella was distressed thinking about the past. If she was crying, then that means those memories she made with them were so precious.
"You’re not going to ask me how Leander was back then?" Gabriella looked up with a smile after wiping her face.
Viviana’s heart skipped a beat. She would want to know how Leander was as a teenager. The boy she met that day was very different from the man she knows now. He must have been very different when he was a teenager.
She leaned forward as she wanted to know.
Gabriella giggled. "He was silent. The dangerous-looking guy, brooding with his dark features and with that questionable tattoo all over his chest... Enticing, like a dark temptation... you know, the one every girl dreams of having for herself, to fix him, or to see the side of him where he only shows all his good sides only to her... the masculine hunk, the dangerous~"
"All right, all right," Viviana stopped Gabriella. For some reason, she didn’t want to hear more.
"He was my first crush, you know?" Gabriella added and Viviana glared at her.
