DESTINED FOR YOU

Chapter 19: In love

Ana's tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably. Gabriel's words had been like needles that pierced her poor heart.

She knew from the beginning that this love was unrequited, and although she understood it, her pain did not diminish.

Maybe walking away is the best option, she thought. She would help him with her goal and get him out of her life, she told herself.

She wiped away her tears as she saw Gabriel approaching her again. Then her eyes fell on Ana and she stole not only her breath, but also her reason.

...Ana's point of view...

Every time she looks at me with her heavenly eyes, I lose my senses, time seems to stop. I get lost in her blue gaze and silence floods me... In it I can only find love, sweetness. Gabriel is an angel.

I see his lips move but I can't understand what he says, I was totally spellbound.

His hands approach my face...

_Anabella!, she's trying to wake me up.

_I'm sorry.

"You are very shameless to look at me like that!" he said, laughing. At that moment I realized that I just made a fool of myself.

My cheeks blushed...

What a shame!

_I don't think it's something difficult for you, she commented. Truly for me, enjoying her company is a gift.

_I will help you, I told her to hide my interest, although he has already realized it.

"You'll have to do it if you want to keep your job," she commented, and that made me come down from the cloud I was on.

_Do you think your grandmother would let me work here after breaking up with me.

_They have hired you for your talent. Personal life is another matter.

Just to clarify... I'm not looking for my grandmother to accept you as my future wife, I just want her to understand that I need my privacy.

_I understand. This scares me, I'm afraid of being hurt in this game.

_You started with this. Your dreams come true, here I am, in front of you.

_I have a question to ask you, she told me.

I'm not prepared for an interrogation, Gabriel is very direct. Unable to refuse, I nodded.

_Is it true that you like me a lot? he asked.

How can she ask me that when she knows the answer very well!... My heart started to race, as I'm tried to find the best answers.

_What you read was just an opinion... I don't know what you want to hear.

_At first I thought you were crazy, when you saw one of my wallpaper photos.

_And now what do you think?

_Now I'm sure you are. From being my stalker, you became my fake girlfriend, he smiled mockingly.

Now that she calls me a stalker out loud, it sounds terrible. I never thought things would happen this way, Gabriel should never know my secret. Also, he was supposed to be gay and from what I see he's not, he's just very private.

Gabriel is a very physically attractive man, his smile, his sky-high eyes can cast a spell on anyone and that is not good. He should have all the women he wants, even men if he were gay, but he is not. I would be the last woman he would look at and I say that because I know there are a lot of bitches interested in him.

He is a different man, all that mystery that surrounds him makes me like him much more.

It's hard to imagine what he's thinking, what he's feeling, and when something bothers him, no matter how hard he tries, I haven't been able to figure it out. Sometimes I get the feeling that he is attracted to me, but it's just my imagination.

My mind has started to wander since we have been together, or rather, we said we were together, much of the time I spend imagining things that can never happen. All my thoughts are saved in my memory, I already learned.

_Well, now that everything is clear, I must go, I took my bag and stood up.

_I agree. My driver will come to pick you up in ten minutes, he said, then he took his phone and without giving me any attention he headed towards the stairs.

I don't know why his disinterest bothered me.

_You could tell me that on the phone, I murmured and he managed to hear.

He stopped halfway so he could respond to my comment.

_I know, I just wanted to see how willing you are.

_Moron.

_Speak carefully Anabella, you won't like to make me angry.

_You would have no reason to do so.

_To be honest no.

_I hope I haven't ruined your date with Marcos.

Marcos? I asked myself and just why does his attitude make me angry I answered.

_Don't worry, he's waiting for me at home, I smiled triumphantly and walked towards the exit when I saw the driver waiting for me.

I don't think he's jealous of me, but I know Marcos' presence bothers him.

It wasn't the date he expected, but we were together and he made me coffee with his own hands.

I no longer have doubts, I am in love with him.
