Chapter 24
Third Person Pov
Because of that order by giovanni to release the girl. Belinda then forgot to say what she intended, because it was lost in her mind because of what Giovanni did to her.
It was as if that had a different effect on her even though it wasn't the first time that giovanni had kissed her.
But he feels strange. It's as if he likes that even though he doesn't know what every kiss the young man gives is for.
Night that day, while belinda was in the living room watching an animation she saw on YouTube. He saw giovanni coming down the stairs who had just woken up. It didn't come down earlier so they would almost only meet now after what happened in the young man's room.
"Gio!" the girl immediately noticed him as he went down the stairs. Belinda had a big smile on her lips as she waited for Giovanni to come down.
After the young man got off, he immediately came behind the girl to see what she was watching.
"What's that?" he asked while raising his eyebrows.
"He's funny, watch it!"
"I don't like those videos." The young man frowned and ignored what the girl was showing him. But he walked over and sat next to her. "Have you eaten yet?"
"A while ago, gio. Why did you come down now?"
"I fell asleep."
"Are you tired? You didn't work did you?"
"Yes, but I need some rest even this once. Humans need that." Belinda nodded at what Giovanni said.
It didn't even watch again because its attention was already on giovanni.
"I'm over resting, I'm always here inside."
"That's for your own goods.." the girl snorted because of what he said.
"I know, but Grandpa Rod has allowed me to study at Fatima." Because of what Belinda said, Giovanni frowned quickly while looking at it.
"What did you say?"
"Didn't you hear me? I said, Grandpa Rod has agreed to let me study. It's just that, it's in the next school year. He said not now because I still have to study hard."
Giovanni was shocked when he found out. "Why didn't you ask me first if I would agree?"
Belinda's mouth opened slightly causing Giovanni to glance at it. He knows that when it comes to the girl, his system changes, it's like a robot whose system suddenly breaks down.
"You won't agree either, I know that. But I want to study."
"Its a no for me..“
"Oh right! I shouldn't have told you!"
"It's too dangerous if you enter Fatima, you'll meet a lot of people and that won't do you any good." the girl snorted but was still not convinced.
"If you can join me, why did grandfather rod agree?"
"Because he can't refuse you, he doesn't want you to be sad so he agreed!"
"I'm really sad because of you." giovanni was stunned because of what he said. "I already know how to speak and read. I know the taboos, besides. I also know that you will watch over me there."
Giovanni sighed, in truth he still did not agree with that idea of ​​his grandfather. He didn't want the girl to go out because he didn't want other people to see it. In truth, he wasn't in favor of his birthday party either, but since it was his grandfather's decision, he didn't do anything.
"I can't always watch over you, bella. What if someone hurts you there? What will you do?"
The girl snorted. "Why would they hurt me? I haven't done anything bad to them."
"What if, you don't know the other people there.."
"I'll introduce myself, it's easy bro. Your problem is really too big."
Giovanni blinked because the girl said that to him. "You really won't listen to me?"
Belinda approached him before she hugged giovanni's arm. He leaned there before looking at the young man's face.
"I won't be stubborn there, I will follow all your orders gio." the young man's muzzle moved because he wanted to say something but he couldn't say it because of the girl's closeness to him. "You agree, gio. I don't want you to be angry with me."
"I'm not mad, I'm just concerned."
"Concern?"
"I'm worried about you if you study there, you'll meet a lot of people and you might change."
"I don't think so, at the party I really enjoyed it. Maybe I'll enjoy Fatima more!"
Giovanni washed his face because the girl seemed really determined to study at Fatima. But the young man hesitated because the truth is, he just wanted to spite her because the girl might meet another man there.
"Will you obey everything I say if I agree?"
The girl quickly nodded at what he said. He also adjusted his sitting position but remained close to the young man.
"Everything you say I will listen to, I will obey all your orders."
"I only want one thing, I don't want you to have a boyfriend."
The girl blinked twice as she stared at giovanni's face.
"Boyfriend?"
"Yes, boyfriend or girlfriend, it's like a husband. I don't want you to have that."
"Hey, aren't you my boyfriend?"
The young man frowned because of his question. "Don't tell that here in the mansion, or to anyone. It's just a secret."
"Secret?"
"Yes, a secret. Because if they find out I'm your boyfriend, they'll be mad at me." the girl nodded before looking around her. After that, he returned to Giovanni who was now happy with every reaction the girl showed.
"So, are you my secret boyfriend?"
giovanni bit his lip before nodding, holding back a smile because until now the girl remained innocent.
"Yes."
"Will you allow me to study at Fatima?"
"Yes, as long as I don't want you to have another boyfriend there. You can talk to them but we are not allowed to do that."
Belinda just nodded at her condition. The only thing that matters to him is that Giovanni has agreed to let him study at Fatima.
"I promise, I won't have another boyfriend. You're the only one I want, including Kal--"
"Don't mention that." giovanni raised his eyebrows after cutting off what the girl was about to say. "You should only like me, you can't like Carlo. Carlo is just your tutor."
"I really like carlo because he's a good teacher, but I like you more because you brought me here." the young man couldn't answer because of his simple words. It was as if a strange thrill enveloped his personality so he just looked away.
"I like you, you're my boyfriend. I like you more than anything." Giovanni nodded at what the girl said. "I like you too because you've become kinder, you're not grumpy anymore. You kiss me all the time."
Because of what Belinda said, Giovanni put his index finger on her lips to silence her.
"Don't tell anyone that either." Belinda nodded while the young man's finger was on her lips.
"I know, it's just our secret." giovanni smiled because of what he heard. But suddenly the girl was surprised because of the suddenness of what he did.
"Are you smiling?" giovanni's smile faded because of that question. "Oh, why did it disappear? Are you smiling?"
He was embarrassed by that question. "Of course."
"I just saw you smiling, I should have taken a picture of you so I can save it here."
"Tsk, its nonsense."
"Huh? Nonsense?"
"Go up there to your room, go to sleep. We were going on church tomorrow."
Suddenly the girl was happy to hear. "Let's go to church!"
"Yes, so go to sleep. I'll just eat."
the girl nodded but she also followed giovanni after he went to the kitchen. The maids are gone because they are resting, it's eight o'clock in the evening and the gentleman is already in the room.
"Are we going to wander tomorrow?" giovanni sighed because he heard that the girl was following him.
"Not if you can't sleep yet."
"Because I still want to talk to you, anyway. I want to sleep next to us." the young man cursed emphatically while heating the food he was going to serve.
"No, bella. Your going to sleep in your room."
"Why? Aren't you my boyfriend?"
"What the hell?"
"Too bad, you're cursing again. I don't want to slap you."
He faced the girl while waiting for the dish behind him to heat up. "Don't do that again, okay? That's bad."
"But cursing is worse, gio."
"Yes, I know. But I can't control it. I'm used to it."
"You can remove it, sir. The lord might be angry with you."
The young man sighed. "Fine, you can sleep now. Go to your room."
"Smile first, this one." the girl touched giovanni's cheek and forced it to curve into a smile. "Oh, you're especially handsome when you smile."
"Happy?"
"Hm" the girl nodded while smiling.
"Then go up stairs. Go to sleep.."
giovanni had no trouble obeying it. The girl left for her room to rest. Since they were leaving tomorrow, the girl decided to go to bed early tonight. He wanted Giovanni to stay by his side but he didn't agree so he forced himself to sleep so that the young man wouldn't change his mind.
The next day
Even though the girl had not had breakfast yet, she had already taken a bath and prepared something for her to wear. He is eager to go out because he knows that he and Giovanni have a walk now.
Wearing a floral dress with sleeves, she left the room where she was ready to face Giovanni. She wore it below the knee while she paired it with black flat shoes.
When he came down from the living room, he caught up with giovanni but he didn't immediately approach the young man because he was talking to a woman.
It was Architect Jhenny who visited the mansion to say hello to giovanni. But belinda could see that she was holding giovanni by the arm while lightly stroking his chest.
Because of the girl's curiosity, she approached them causing Jhenny's eyes and Giovanni's attention to turn to her.
"Oh, this is your grandfather's adopted daughter right?" Belinda just rubbed Jhenny's clothes because she was about to take off her clothes. No one answered his question, causing him to laugh. ”I know her issue, but i can be your sister belinda...”
"Why are you holding Gio?"
Instead of paying attention to what jhenny said, the girl asked a different question that she immediately noticed earlier.
"Giovanni is my partner, we have a secret that nobody knows.."
Belinda turned to giovanni because of what he heard from jhenny.
"You also have a secret?" Giovanni sighed but the girl didn't answer. She faced Jhenny who now couldn't erase the smile on her lips.
"You can leave now, jenny. We have a walk today.” His two eyebrows rose due to the young man's repulsion.
"Why are you pushing me away? Can't I go with you?"
"I'm sorry, your not.."
Because of what giovanni answered, jhenny laughed violently because it was as if he had been insulted. "Your hurting me, you shouldn't treat me like this!"
"Why are you yelling at gio?"
"Stop fvcking asking me lad--" jhenny didn't even finish speaking. This received a strong slap from Belinda which surprised Giovanni as well.
"You can't curse here.." said Belinda who just didn't have Jhenny's reaskyon.
"What the hell Did you just slap me!"
"You shouldn't be yelling at gio, he doesn't do anything to you."
"Why do you care? You're just adopted, but if you look up, you'll think who it is.."
"Jenny!" Giovanni firmly held the girl's arm while looking at her. "Don't tell Belinda that!"
"Why? Are you concerned with this beggar? You just picked this girl up!”
"Get out of my presence..."
jhenny laughed before violently pulling his arm back. "You owe my family a lot, giovanni. If it wasn't for my mommy, your father might have been in prison for a long time. So don't do this to me.." he took a deep breath before turning to look at Belinda but she just ignored him.
"I'll be back tomorrow.." jhenny smiled as if the young man's rejection did not seem to be in her mind. "See you tomorrow.." he kissed Giovanni on the cheek causing Belinda's eyes to widen.
And before jhenny could leave, he sneered at her but he was already frowning standing in front of the young man.
"Im sorry with her attitude.." Belinda looked at the young man with a bad look.
"You already have a girlfriend, gio.." the young man frowned because of what he heard, how did the girl know the word girlfriend. "I searched last night about the boyfriend, if the man is a boyfriend. The girl has a girlfriend, but why do you have two girlfriends?"
"She's not my girlfriend, bella. I-I don't like that girl..”
The girl snorted before looking away. "He kissed you, gio..."
giovanni closed his eyes before washing his own face. "And he said you also have a secret.."
"H-hey, you're thinking wrong."
"Huh, what's wrong with that?"
"I don't like that dvmn woman, don't think that I like someone there. I like you more than that girl."
The girl didn't say a word even though she was happy with what giovanni said. He just looked down because the truth is, he didn't like what that girl did earlier.
"Eat there first before we leave, you might get sick..."
The girl just nodded before walking past the young man. He went to the kitchen while giovanni followed because he didn't know how to tell Belinda that they had no relationship with the woman who visited him.
