Noah Pushing It
BiancaOn the ride home, Bianca's stomach turned when she saw she had several missed calls and texts from Felix. Lying to him was out of the question. All it would take was one call to the driver to get an update on her if he was worried. She felt weird about even reading his texts in front of Gio, so she waited until she got back to the cabin in the bedroom to read them. But she did tell Gio that if he talked to Felix before she did, not to lie. She was telling him almost exactly what they did today leaving out, of course, all the parts about making out with his friend all day.Most of the missed texts were basically the same, asking her how things were except for the last one about a half-hour ago.:TEXT: Babe I'm getting worried. Please call me as soon as you can. :TEXT:She listened to the voicemail that he left just a few minutes after the text."Look, if this is about that story they've been airing, I promise I can explain that too. We talked about this already, remember? I'
Noah Feeling Weak
GioOut of habit, Gio had clicked the TV on in his room as he walked in. Halfway through rushing to change into his swim trunks, the words of the reporter on the television hit him like a bolt, and he grabbed the remote, clicking record like he had back home anytime something about this aired."Felicita Morales, the widow of Trinidad Morales gave birth today to a baby girl, Trini Morales, named after the father she'll never get to meet. Trinidad, who lost his life just over a month ago in the ring after a blow to the head during a fight that burst an aneurism in his brain, was only twenty-two when the tragedy occurred."Gio went numb. He stared at the screen as they went into detail retelling the story of the fight, Trinidad's death, and the ongoing investigation of the physician who released him to fight. He picked up the remote, turning up the volume as the cameras zeroed in on Trinidad's father, who was being interviewed at the hospital. He spoke solemnly about the birth of his g

//They lay in a meadow. It looked very different than the one Bianca had taken him to because there was no snow, only grass and flowers in every color. Gio was certain it was still the same one. He lay there next to her, his weight on his elbow while his other hand stroked her hair as he stared into her eyes. "I wanna kiss you," he whispered.Bianca smiled, making the day suddenly brighter, the intoxicating scent of the flowers that much stronger. "I want you to."Gio leaned in with anxious anticipation of tasting her mouth and kissed her—for a very long time. He didn't need to breathe. He didn't need anything anymore. This was all he needed—forever. To be lost in Bianca's world, in her mouth, her kisses. He'd never felt happier in his life. Finally, he pulled his lips away from her, and instantly he was lost in her eyes. She smiled again. A smile so blissful—so content. "I love you, Bianca.""I love you too," she whispered back.The strong smell of coffee suddenly trounced the sme
Noah Hypocrisy
BiancaIt kept happening. As much as Bianca tried to act normally, she couldn't help but tense up every time Felix snuggled up to her. It was just a matter of time before he noticed there was something very wrong. He'd already noticed it earlier when he kissed her neck on their way into the bedroom and she all but moved away. When he asked what was wrong she played it off, but she saw it in his confused expression, though he let it go.After a day away, she'd normally be all for a quickie before she had to leave to go work, but today she'd told him she was in a hurry even though she didn't actually have to be at her grandmother's shop for another hour.What had she been thinking? That it would all go back to normal? That being with him again after yesterday would feel the same? Nothing felt the same now. This was all wrong, but Bianca didn't know how to fix it without calling the whole thing off and walking out of not only Felix's life but Gio's as well. That was a sacrifice she jus
Noah Harsh Reality
GioGio's magic pill had come through again. Just reading those three little words had been enough to calm him from the torment he'd been feeling ever since he'd seen Bianca with Felix earlier. Then reading her follow up text confirming that she was feeling just as anxious as he was about being forced to be apart was enough to convince him that staying here was the right thing to do. Even a moment alone with her would make it all worthwhile. Though he still worried about how he would handle seeing them have their moments together. He didn't even want to think about that right now. For now, he'd concentrate on the positive news that she was feeling just as tortured by all of this as he was. That had to be good thing somehow.Since Gio started training with Felix, between the other trainers and Bianca always being around, he hadn't had a moment alone with him. Because Felix showed up unexpectedly early, Gio finally had time alone with him. The other trainers wouldn't be back until late
Noah Enormous Risk
BiancaThe three days following Felix's early return, Bianca managed to keep him at arm's length. She spent the days working and at school. Then in the evenings, Felix was understanding of the fact that she was still hurt about his betrayal to even cuddle, much less do anything else. The guilt would start to become too much to bear. Then she and Gio would have one of their silent moments where she was caught in his eyes again, or he'd send her a text that would have her walking on air, and she'd be back to square one, feeling ready to do or say whatever it took just to be near him.Felix was doing everything he could to try and remedy things. Now that Bianca didn't really care and since he supposedly confessed to the real truth behind the stories, she'd begun to watch more of the tabloid shows. It helped ease her guilt. At the same time, whenever she came across any of the stories while he was in the room with her, it helped support why she wouldn't be engaging in any intimate activi
Noah Seed of Suspicion.
Taking a step away from Bianca, Gio glanced around. "We gotta go. Felix was just caught up for a few minutes with one of the skaters. Go this way." He pointed to the quickest route back to where Felix was, then pointed in the opposite direction. "I'll go that way." He started to walk away then rushed back and took her face in his hands, kissing her deeply one last time before letting go and speeding around the small building.Bianca walked around her side cautiously, her mind still swimming in a blissful daze as her heart continued to attack her rib cage with each wallop. Her phone buzzed in her pocket, and she was certain it was Felix looking for her, but it was a text—from Lala. With her body still reveling the euphoria of having finally quenched her aching need to be near Gio again—feel his touch—kiss his lips, she stared at the screen, elated. Just seeing the envelope with the code-name for him now as she had so much in the past few days made her want to do a little dance, but she
Noah Doubts
GioJack, Abel, and Hector arrived first. Gio and Felix walked out to meet them. Felix had offered to send a car for them, but Abel insisted on driving his newly purchased Gran Torino. Gio and Felix laughed when Abel revved the heavy engine as they pulled in."Hey," Gio said, tapping the hood as he walked around the car. "You should paint it red and white. Then we could call you and Hector Starsky and Hutch."Abel laughed, getting out of the car, grabbing Gio's outstretched hand for a quick handshake and a pat on the back. "This shit is badass," Abel said, turning back to the car. "I hardly had to do anything to it.""And it's fast," Hector added from across the car.It hit Gio suddenly. Both Abel and Jack were sticklers about Hector missing school for any reason. "You actually let this guy miss school today to come up here?"Before Abel responded, Hector announced almost proudly. "I got suspended yesterday."Gio brought his fist to his mouth with a smirk but was surprised neith
