Valentina's POV
With my hands tightly wrapped around him firmly and my head on his back, I let the sound of the motorcycle engine drown my thoughts, concerns, and worries.
I am also ignoring the suspicion I am having about Rocco lying to me about the kiss. I don't want to think about anything now. I just want to enjoy the evening air brushing past my face and hair.
If I wasn't in a sad mood, I would have loved to shout into the air with one of my hands flying around and the other holding onto Rocco as he drives.
I don't know where he is driving me to but I don't care. I just want to be far away from that cold room and let my worries go.
My father is still in the hospital. I wanted to spend the night with him but my mom insisted on having me gone. From her persistence, I can see how much she wants me and Rocco to work unlike what I told Rocco a few minutes ago.
Even with that, I still believe that the person who needs this sort of assurance i

Valentina's POVFred and Brenda are the only ones who know that I am a virgin. No one else knows. Not even my mother.Because of the wild parties Brenda and I go to and the fact that I had a boyfriend, she must have assumed that I have lost my virginity.She never asked me but I know that is what she thinks. She is my mother yet she doesn't know a lot about me.If only Mother knows, I will think she told Rocco this behind my back but Mother doesn't know so who did?"You can't have sex with someone you don't love but you never had sex with Fred and you two have been together for years. Don't you love him?""Ho..w..how did you know that?" I find myself stammering as I ask him with intense curiosity."How I know doesn't matter, does it?""It does", I retort back, desperate for him to answer me.Silence ensues, except for the loud beating of my heart which I can hear. I continue to watch him, anticipating the answer to

Valentina's POVFather is refusing to answer all my questions. I gave him enough time before bombarding him with the questions but his aloofness shows how much he doesn't want to talk about it.Now, I am sure he knows something. I am sure he is either hiding something or he wants to protect Rocco's father just because he is my father-in-law.Just like Rocco said, how can we help him if we don't know what they had in the past?I try to touch him to see if I can persuade him once more when the door opens without a knock.I turn to the door to see Mother come in with a huge smile on her face."Guess who is here?" She beams in excitement as she stretches her arms toward the ajar door and it reveals Rocco.I don't know if it's from my imagination or if Rocco is really looking upset tonight. His jaws are clenched and he is looking at me with a sort of new gaze that

Rocco's POVThe rage that fills me up even after apologizing to her is unexplainable. I can't explain the tightness in my chest and the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.I can't even control my anger anymore as I grit my teeth while sitting down in front of the bar counter downstairs and drinking the combination of wine and whiskey in my glass cup.I wish this never happened. I wish I never told her how I felt, then maybe this wouldn't be happening.She is still in love with him. He is her boyfriend. Or rather he was her boyfriend before I came along.Perhaps, if she didn't get to know about the betrothal, she would have accepted his apology and accepted him back.I guess it's not so easy to get rid of her first love. I guess she misses how he used to kiss her."Shit!" I voice out, slamming my fist on the counter and groaning in pain.I neve

Or parties.I miss my old life. Not the relationship lifestyle but the enjoyable moments I had without having a cause to worry about anything.

Rocco's POVValentina seems like one hell of an adventurous woman. The laughter that leaves her mouth gets me reeling in laughter too, not because I found the whole running funny but because her laughter is contagious.When we sober up, I stretch my hand at her where she is squatting to help her up. She stands up with my help and we walk quietly to the car with hands entangled.I open the door for her, and she flashes me a cute smile and gets in. Suddenly, the tension is back.As high as ever.I close the door when she is seated inside the car and turn to the other side to get in too.It is a failed attempt already so we need to re-strategize and come back next time.
