Two Hearts

ISABELLA

PRACTICE WAS COMPLETED, and as Gianna had promised, she watched us practice. I was eager to be with her after it was finished, so I showered quickly. Unfortunately, Scarlett beat me to it, even though I quickly fixed myself.

She was now in the hallway with Gianna. They were talking, and I'm not sure if it was funny, but Scarlett kept laughing while occasionally touching Gianna's arms.

Scarlett is getting ahead of me. And, despite Scarlett's confession to Gianna, they appear to be getting closer. Does this imply that they are now dating?

"Hello there, Isa. You appear to have intended to murder someone "Claire stated the obvious. I didn't notice she was walking with me towards Gianna and Scarlett, who were flirting at the time.

"What? No!" I denied it. But I'd like to murder someone right now. Let's just hide and give her a fictitious name, S.

"Oh, you look so angry there..." Claire added. I fixed my gaze on her. "Oh, relax... What is the matter with you? "She enquired.

"Nothing..." I sighed.

This is not good. I'm furious right now. I walked quickly to get closer to Gianna and Scarlett. When they saw me coming, they stopped talking.

Scarlett smiled and said, "Hi, Isa." I didn't look at Gianna because I was angry. I'm not sure why I'm so upset with her. I should be upset with Scarlett, not Gianna.

"Hey," I simply said in a neutral tone. "What were you talking about? You appear to be pleased with your topic."

"Oh... that?" Scarlett laughs softly and gently touches Gianna's arm once more. Scarlett, what's the fucking joke? "I invited her to the victory party this weekend," she added.

"Ah..."

She invited her to the victory party, but she laughed and moved just to touch Gianna. What was so amusing about inviting her to the victory party? I wanted to kill someone right now.

"Should we go now?" I overheard Gianna say. I jerked my head towards her and gave her a blank stare.

"Let's go..." I said as I dragged her by her other arm.

I had just heard Scarlett and Claire say good-by when I decided not to look back. On the other hand, Gianna had time to say and wave goodbye.

"Uh... Belle..." Gianna said. I was still dragging her. We've exited the school and are walking back home.

"What?!" I glared at her.

"Belle, are you upset? W-why?"

I let go of her and took the lead. She catches up quickly.

"Belle, did I make a mistake? Belle? Please accept my apologies if I made a mistake. Please don't get angry at me, Belle. Please speak with me, Belle "she said as we walked side by side.

"I am not enraged. I'm just tired," I said without looking.

"Oh... okay," she said.

I was irritated once more because she did not ask me what was wrong. Instead of ranting, I walked quickly and ignored her the entire time.

I went straight to my room when I got home. Gianna didn't bother talking to me again after that.

I buried my face in my pillow and yelled. After that, I sat up in my bed and stared at the ceiling. My mind wondered about the real deal between Gianna and Scarlett since the latter had already confessed her feelings to the former.

And why didn't Gianna tell me about it? We agreed and promised each other that there would be no more secrets between us. Why isn't she telling me about this? Argh. All of this is giving me a headache.

Even when that confession occurs, they appear to get along and become closer to one another. What does this mean for Gianna and Scarlett? What does this mean for us?

I couldn't take it any longer and decided to confront Gianna. But I was surprised to see Gianna standing there when I opened the door. She appeared to be about to knock, but I shut the door before she could.

She smiled. My heart skipped a beat. I wanted to kiss her right then and there, but instead, I pouted.

"What exactly do you require?" I inquired with a poker face. She was charming in her usual house attire. A loose T-shirt and short shorts. That was quick; she had changed clothes, but I was still wearing my school uniform.

"Can we talk?" she asked. I sighed.

However, before I could say anything, she entered my room without my permission. Before I could protest, she grabbed my neck with her other arm, and her other hand was on my hips.

"What are you—-" I couldn't finish what I was about to say because Gianna devoured my lips with hers.

I had been craving her lips all day, so I eagerly returned her kisses. I closed my eyes because I enjoyed the kisses she was giving me. As I felt my knees weakening from her kisses, I leaned against the wall for support. I wrap my arms around her neck and pull her in closer.

Her lips are delectably sweet. She is so sweet.

We were calculating how many minutes it would take until we were out of breath.

We stopped kissing but remained standing. Gianna rested her brow on mine, and I did the same. My heart was racing so fast.

"Belle," she said. I opened my eyes and saw those lovely brown orbs. "I have something to tell you... please don't get angry..."

I came to my senses as a result of what she said. As I became nervous, I took a step back and turned my back on her. Is she going to tell me now that she has a girlfriend?

I was unprepared for this, but did I have the authority to tell her not to choose Scarlett?

"Belle..."

"Just tell me what it is..." Even though I felt like choking on my saliva, I managed to say.

"I wanted to be honest with you because I can't take it any longer. I don't expect things to stay the same, but I hope you'll be patient with me no matter what. Belle..."

Is she going to go with Scarlett now? Oh, why am I so upset?

"Belle... please look at me while I say this..." Is she a masochist? Does she want to see how upset I'll be if she tells me she's chosen, Scarlett? Gianna, you're a scumbag!

I ignored what she said. I stood there with my back to her. As a result, I was taken aback when I felt her arms wrap around me. Her head was resting on my shoulders. There it is again, that tingling and soothing sensation.

"I adore you, Belle. Not as a step-sister or a friend. But I adore you romantically. I wanted you to be mine, Belle. However, I understand if you don't feel the same way. That is acceptable to me. I just wanted to let you know because I couldn't take it any longer. I'm sorry, Belle. I understand if you are disgusted with me right now."

When Gianna said that, she let go of my back hug, but before she could, I turned around and grabbed her neck.

I could tell she was perplexed by what I did, but I didn't give her time to respond because I kissed her instead. It was only a quick kiss, but it was the sweetest kiss ever. Her mouth was open, and she was just staring at me, perplexed.

"I love you, too, Gianna," I finally said. "I love you not just as a step-sister or a friend, but also romantically. And, yes, I am completely yours."

I felt as if a weight had been lifted from within me after saying those words. I was liberated and content.

Gianna's lips curled into a smile, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"N-Belle..." she stuttered, and her tears began to fall. I'm crying with joy.

I kissed her tears away. We then kissed again, this time for a more extended period. It was getting tense when my stomach growled. Gianna and I exchanged glances and began to laugh.

"I'm going downstairs to cook dinner. Get some cash and come back to me later, okay?" Gianna said as she kissed my lips quickly.

"Okay," I said. Gianna was out of my room before I knew it.

Stupid stomach. Why do you have the worst timing ever?

Anyway, I changed my clothes and went downstairs right away to assist Gianna. I was content and happy to be with her. It was as if we were destined to be this way as a couple.

Oh my God! Did I just say a couple? Yipee... That was so cheesy, but I love it!

We cooked dinner and washed the dishes together. Gianna was as sweet as ever. She always sneaks in, giving me quick kisses all the time. Oh my goodness, this is incredible!

After washing the dishes, we decided to watch a movie, so we cuddled and made out on the couch. When I remembered something, I was overjoyed.

"How about Scarlett, Luna?" I asked her out of nowhere.

She was lying on the couch, watching TV, while I was on top of her. That was our stance. I'm getting hot and bothered for some reason, but I need to talk to her about it if we're going to keep this relationship going.

"Huh? What about her?"

"I heard when she confessed to you in the hallway," I admitted. That drew her attention to me.

"Oh... that one... Is that why you were so snobbish earlier?"

"Hmph..." I tried to run away from her, but she was stronger than me. Instead, I grew closer to her. Our noses almost touched. Oh, I wished I could kiss her again and do something more. Shit!

"You were envious, weren't you?" She was making fun of me.

"And if I am?" I retaliated.

"You don't have to be envious of Scarlett, Belle. Yes, she confessed her feelings to me, but I told her that my heart belonged to someone else. So she accepted it and simply asked me not to be awkward with her and to continue to treat her as her friend. "

I was relieved by what she said.

"D-did you tell her about you know... that someone? Oh, you're referring to me, right?" Shit. Again, I'm assuming.

"Silly," she laughs. "Of course, it's you. It's always been you, Belle. Since the moment I saw you that night, my heart has been racing for you and only you."

"Aww... Why are you so sweet?"

"I love you," she said again, and I couldn't help but smile.

"I love you, too," I replied. Gianna bit her lower lip, and her face was flushed. "But you didn't answer my other question earlier. Did you tell her about that person?"

"You're good at killing the mood, Belle," she said. I just laugh. "Anyway, I didn't tell her about it. I was unsure how you felt, and I still respect your privacy, Belle. So don't worry about it, okay?"

"It wasn't a big deal to me, Luna. I'm no longer concerned with my school's reputation. What matters to me is only you and us."

"Really? Are you certain?"

"I've never felt so certain in my life as I do now, Luna. I am certain. How about you? Are you sure about us?"

"Belle, I'm certain of it as well. Thank you for giving us a chance. I wasn't expecting you to feel the same way." Gianna hugged me so tightly. It was a hot and pleasant sensation.

"No, Luna. Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for waiting, staying, and loving me despite everything I did to you back then. I consider myself fortunate to have you in my life," I said wholeheartedly.

Gianna let go of the hug and turned to face me. When the phone rang, our eyes locked, and our lips were about to touch again. No one dialed the landline phone because we now have mobile phones on which our family and friends can contact us at any time. As a result, this must be a crucial call.

I stood up and grabbed the phone. I immediately recognized my mother's voice on the other end of the line.

"Yes, Mom. This is Belle speaking. Oh, I'm sorry, my phone is in my room. Gianna? Yes, she's with me. You called her?" I looked at Gianna, looking at me and listening from the couch. She signed with her hands that her phone was also upstairs. "Her phone was also upstairs, Mom. What's the matter, mom?" I let my mother speak, listening to what she had to say. When I heard what my mother had said, I almost dropped the phone.
