Nothing else matters
Chapter 12
Ana’s POV
When we arrived at his place, he was so sweet to me after what he witnessed I thought he wouldn’t look at me again. I sat on the couch and Brian handed me a glass of water.
"I know that you don’t want talk about your family, but..." He grabbed my hand and squeezed lightly.
"Brian, I'm really sorry for… what happened there…"
"Stop, it's not your fault!"
I took a deep breath, let’s get this over with.
"Ok, so… I was always the black sheep in the family.My Dad made me responsible for everything that happen. Everything was my fault. He was never interested in me or my life. He never really talked to me. But when he is drunk and does talk to me the only sentence I ever heard are:‘You will never become someone, why study’. That I am a shame for the family and why should he waste his time with me…My mom was mostly quiet; when she is at home alone with me she is a little different.She asked me about my day at college or work, but nothing else. When my dad is drunk he always argues with my mom. And the arguments are always about me. My brother is his pride and joy. His son and heir was the only important person in his life.
One time during an argument I heard my dad say 'She shouldn't be here'.
I knew that I was an unplanned child. We hadn't much money and I made it even worse.
He hated me for that alone. And he let me know it ever since.”
I couldn’t look at Brian, I just watched how he held my hand in his. So I started the rest of my confession.
“I had a lot of problems when I was at the high school. Girls from my school laughed at me for not being... you know like them. I was an outcast and didn’t have many friends. I couldn’t wear the new clothes and didn’t have make up at that time. My parents just couldn’t afford it.”
I started to cry again that was the first time to ever talk to someone about all this. And now I confessed everything to Brian. How would he react? I just hoped that he didn’t betray the trust I laid upon him.
For the first time since I started talking I looked directly into his beautiful brown eyes and there was nothing like pity or disgust just… friendship and maybe a little love.
Zacky’s POV
We were at the restaurant and at the table Matt and Val sat next to each other and I was sitting next to Romy. Damn, she still looked so beautiful. When I looked at her she smiled at me. How can I tell her that it meant nothing that the kiss was a mistake?Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!
“So, Romy, when was your last date?!” Val asked casually.
I nearly choked on my water and spit it across the table. Thank god, Matt had nearly the same reaction.
Val looked from her fiancée back to me and then at Romy.
“What? I haven’t seen you with a guy lately.” Val justified her question.
“I… well…” Romy started.
“That’s what I thought. So what would you think if I say I have this friend from work and I told him about you and he would like to meet you…”
“VAL! She is my little sister!”
Val just kept on talking as if Matt never said anything, ”so what do you think?!”
She wouldn’t say yes, would she?! Matt needed to say something. I stared at Matt, begging him to forbid this! Come on, Matt.
“Val… what friend? You know that I won’t allow my little sister on a date…” Matt started and I wanted to applaud him.
“Matthew ,damn it! She is only 2 years younger than you. Let her have some fun for gods-fucking-sake! And by the way, you know him. His name is Jason and he is the photographer from one of my last shootings. And you said yourself that he was a nice guy…” Val continued again.
No no no no… Matt… !!! Don’t give in… !
“Thanks Val. But I don’t think that… I just don’t want to have a blind date.” Romy interrupted.
I could see her looking over at me from the corner of my eyes.
“Ohh.. but he is really nice. Think about it, ok?!”
“Ok, thanks… I will go find the restroom.” Romy got up and walked towards the back of the restaurant.
I looked at my phone, over at Matt and Val already kissing and cuddling not paying attention to me.
I showed up my phone and, “I need to make a call…so…”
I walked also to the back and waited for Romy to reappear.
She walked out and was surprised to see me but she smiled. A breathtaking smile, focus Zack, focus!
“Hi, what are you doing here, Zacky?” Romy smiled shyly at me but stepped one step towards me.
“I need to talk to you.” I am such an idiot!
“Ok, so what is it?” She took another step forward and I took one step back.
“Romy, the kiss after I walked you home, I just wanted to make sure that we are on the same page there, that… we both know that it meant nothing and that it won’t happen again… It was a mistake… And it shouldn’t have happened in the first place, that was my fault. You are a beautiful girl… but you are still…” Oh damn, in my head that sounded better then what just came out of my mouth.
At first I could see every of her feelings clearly showing on her beautiful face but then she shut down.
She nodded, “I am still Matt’s little sister. Sure, Zachary, it was a mistake. We shouldn’t talk about it. That’s it?”
“Well, ahhh… I think so.” I didn’t expect that.
She turned around and went back to Val and Matt, I followed shortly behind.
“Hey Val, I changed my mind, would you set up this date with Jason. I would love to meet him?!”
“Oh yeaayy.. awesome. I will call him right now.”Val replied.
What the fuck?!
