Life With Falling Gravity

~Chapter 2~

~Chapter 2~

after my surgery, i had to stay over night for 3 nights. On day one, i was very uncomfortable from the access gas they used to expand my stomach for the operation; i couldnt sleep much. if i wasnt trying to sleep, they were walking me around. being so anxious, i couldnt stand still.

so i fixed my hair so i didnt have to deal with it. i put it up in a bun, with my bangs tilted to the side, hanging passed my right eye.

it was around 2am in the morning, and i was doped up on pain killers. i dont know why, but i opened my laptop and logged on to my live streaming account. no video, i just wanted to email my celebrity crush; Donivan Bozeli.

he was my dream man. tall, strong, beautiful eyes, and a voice to match. and his style? oh, s*x appeal all over. (punker s*x appeal)

i wasnt expecting him to write back. he was a celebrity and i was an unwealthy, fat girl. i just wanted to let him know who i was, and that i wasnt like every other fan. that i was there if he ever needed to talk to someone {without judgement} like a regular individual. i wrote:

*"Hello Mr. Bozeli,

My name is Arina DePinto, i appologize to bother you at such an hour. i am in the hospital, and you just crossed my mind. And no worries, it's nothing serious. i just wanted to let you know, that i'm not your typical fan. Underneith your fame, you are human. you're normal. and i understand that being in the spotlight, can be stressful or even agrivating. i am a person who stays to myself, i take care of my mom, and i rely only on myself alone. I want you to understand, that if you ever need anyone just to talk to, or even vent to, i'm here. you can vent to me, without fear of judgment. everything you say to me, i will take to my grave...what i'm saying is; you can rely on me. i dont care about your fame or anything. your a normal person. i suppose most people forget that. i dont want any money, i dont want any fame. i just thought, maybe, just maybe, you would like a friend; a real friend. one who sees you for you, and not as a celebrity.

Sincerly: Arina DePinto*"

about 5 minutes later, i receieved a live streaming messaging bubble {no video}. he replied, and i swear my heart stopped; i was so excited. i couldnt believe it.

the more i read it the more happy i got.

"Hey Arina, you seem like an amazing person. i actually would like a friend. not a fan. why are you in the hospital?"

i instantly replied back,

"i have some medical issues that are fixable by weightloss surgery, so i gave it a try. i am also heavy set so it's going to hep me all around. tonight is my first night here and i have to stay here for at least 3 nights."

"What about your mom, you said you take care of her?" He asked.

"yea, my mom is very sick. i just recently placed her in a beautiful 24 hour care facility. enough about me, i told you, that you can vent to me. so what's on your mind."

"you." his reply took me off guard.

"if we are going to be friends i need to know about you too silly." he explained.

"i dont know, i'm really boring. i am to myself. i work hard. i take care of my mom. there's honestly not much to know about me" i said.

"i can think of a few."

"ok, ask away."

"what are your conditions?" he asked.

"well, its complicated, not deadly. and i dont want you thinking of me any less."

"honey, everything in life is complicated. and trust me, you seem like a gorgeous person; on the inside and out, by the looks of your photo on your profile. i will never think of you any less, especially over some medical issues. no one is perfect." he explained.

"so why are you up so late." i asked changing the subject.

"lol, avoiding my question i see. I had a dream, and couldnt go back to sleep. something told me to log on here, and well, here i am." he explained.

"was it a bad dream?"

"no, it was actually the oposite. it was actually about me on here, talking to someone. but then a noise woke me up and i couldnt get back to sleep. so i figured, let me just log on for the hell of it. as soon as i was about to log off, i got your email." he explained.

"can i ask you a question, if you dont to, i totally understand." he asked.

"sure, anything. i'm an honest goose."

"ok, well, does the honest goose feel well enough to video chat?" he asked.

i just froze. i couldnt believe it. and then i paniced. i looked horrible.

"um, well i look horrible Donivan. i'm in the hospital." i explained.

"well, i said that i want a real friendship, what's more real than being non-perfect?"

"ok, well give me a minute, let me just fix my hair." i explained.

i then took, my hair out, my appearance looked, scary to say the least. i eventually made myself presentable. i took a deep breath to collect myself. i was really nervous.

"ok, i'm ready when you are." i said.

my screen was beeping with a video chat call.

i answered it, but i showed only half of my face, i hid the crappy half. but his video didnt turn on yet.

"wow, you're...you're goegeous." he said.

"thanks. i wish i could say the same about you." i said with a giggle.

"oh s**t, why didnt it turn on. hold on......there we go. how about now?" he asked.

i couldnt believe it. it was really him.

it was really him!

"i, um...hi." i said studdering. my heart monitor beeping increased.

he chuckled, "is that beeping for me?" he asked "so how do you feel?"

"i'm doing better. so any shows anytime soon?"

"nah, our next show is in another 2 weeks." he explained.

We have been video calling nonstop since. He is so funny, and kind. he calls me beautiful all the time.

one night while he and his band were performing, i cleaned house, showered, did my makeup, my hair, and made a smoothie. before drinking it, i decided to weigh myself. in just 2 weeks, i lost 57lbs because of the surgery.

i was begining to see myself as the vision i always dreamt of myself to be. i was so excited.

*BEEP BEEP* *BEEP BEEP*

i answered the video call, "hey Doni guess what?" i said excitedly.

"what's up?"

"its only been 2 weeks and i already lost 57lbs."

"that's excelent." he said.

"where's your cam?"

"oh i just got out of the shower i'm not dressed yet." he explained.

"so...you're-you're naked?" i cant believe i just asked him that.

he chuckled, "yes, i'm naked. now stop fantisising Arina."

"i...i-i am not-"

"maybe you will see it in person one day." he said.

"....wh-what?"

"sorry, that was the wrong way for me to tell you that i like you huh?" he asked while putting his camera on.

"you....you look tired." i said trying to change the subject.

"and you look flustard with a side or major blushing," he said with a sexy crooked smile

"....in all honesty would you consider going on a date with me, you know, in person?" he asked.

"............" it took everything i had to speak. "....yes i would, but after i reach the weight of my goal." i explained.

"babe, you are perfect the way you are. i've only been on fake dates for publicity. but i really wana go on a real one with you. you...you're amazing." he explained.

i blushed, "did you just call me babe?"

he opened his mouth but didnt say anything, all he did was smile. "what do you say?" he asked.

"...after i reach my weight goal.."

he let out a smirkish sigh. "fine, i will wait for you then, i honestly dont mind. but dont let your exes talk you into dating them again. i hate you still talk to them."

i giggled, "jealous much? ha so how was your show?"

"only you make me jealous. the show was great, but all i could think about was coming back to vid you."

"really?" i asked with a devious look.

he tilted his head to the side and made a sexy smile, as if he knew i was up to no good.

"...what?" he asked.

"prove to me you like me."

"how?" he asked with a chuckle.

"....i tripple dog dare you...to run around your tour bus, butt ass naked, screaming, 'i love Arina', at the top of your lungs. for 5 minutes streight." i dared him in a devious sexy way.

"really?" he asked with a 'yea right' look.

"come on babe. i dare you." i said purposly pauseing at the word babe.

he turned away from the camera. after a moment he turned his eyes to the camera, and said, "only for you. if anyone sees me Arina-"

"i'm gana laugh my ass off." i interupted him.

he then laughed, "do you like torturing me?"

"no, but it is kinda fun." i admitted with a big smile and a giggle.

he didn't even get dressed. he opened up the bus door, and started running around the bus with the camera still in his grasp, and still pointing at him. he then began screaming 'i love Arina!' over and over again.

the camera accidentally kept swinging down. i could see all of him. he was not small, at all.

after the 5 minutes, he started walking back to the bus, i could hear the guys laughing at him inside the bus. eventually he explained why he did what he did. we all had a laugh, and joked around some more.

i swear i felt my heart skip.

that night we flirted back and forth, got to know each other a little more for another 2 months. and then it was my birthday, i was turning 24. on the day of my birthday, i just got back from work, took a shower, got into a cute balck dress with red lace, did my makeup and hair.

and then my phone started ringing for a video call. i knew exactly who it was. a smile shot to my face.

his video was black but i heard him say,

"happy birthday princess. i got you a little something., hold on one sec, i'm standing my cell up." and when he did, i did not expect to see what i saw.

"happy birthday beautiful. but i think you should answer your door right..about... now."

and right on que my door bell rang. i walked to my door, and opened it. there stood an older gentleman in a black suit, and a black hat, with 5 dozen roses, and a small gift box.

"hello Ma'dam, are you Ma'dam Arina DePinto?" he asked.

"yes, Carlos, it's her. leave all of the flowers on the table in the door way for her and hand her the gift for me. please and thank you of course."

"of course sir." Carlos said with a slight bow. He then handed me the gift box, walked in and placed 7 glass vases of rainbow roses.

"Doni what is all of this?" i asked looking at all of the roses.

"it's my birthday gift to you. you said you love tie dye, so i found tie dye roses. and you said you love sea life so i got you a little gift. i hope you like it."

i then placed my phone between 2 vases aiming the camera at myself while i began to open his gift box.

"oh Doni, this is beautiful! but you really didnt have to get me anything."

"i know, im really into you, i wanted to get you something. put it on. its real aulstralian opal." he said with a cute smile.

as i was putting it on, "you look amazing." he said, you can see the admoration in his eyes, along with his tone.

"how much was this Doni?"

"oh just under 3 grand." he answered.

i felt like my eyes were about to pop out of my head, i slowly began to move it away.

"don't you dare take that off. 3 grand is not that much for me, but you make 3 grand look so amazing. please keep it." he begged.

i reclipped the clasp, and then i noticed an envalope at the bottom of the gift box. "Doni, what else did you get me? what is this?" i asked holding up the envalope.

"open it and see." he said with a crooked smile.

"AH!!! TICKETS TO SEE YOU GUYS LIVE?!" i screamed in excitement.

"yes, i figured you would want to experience our concert like a real fan before meeting me."

"meeting you? when?" i asked.

"tomarrow night. it's just a few town away from you. if you want, i can call you out onstage and kiss you infront of everyone for your birthday."

"oh uh, wait, you did all of this because you really are into me?" i asked.

"duh, wait you didnt believe me?"

"no but now i see how serious you are about it. but just so you know....i may just take up your offer on that stage kiss." i said with extreme reddness.

"really?!" he asked in excitement?

"what happened Don?" a guy's voice asked from the back ground of his vid.

"she said yes to the stage kiss!"

"really? thats great."

that night Doni and i fell asleep on video chat together. the next day came and i just texted him through the whole day, since i had work.

I was on my way to my first concert of my favorite band of all time Falling Gravity, {which is Doni's band} when I needed to stop for gas.

My car was a rust bucket; paint chipping off in the wind with every bump I hit. Muffler hanging by a thread, smoke engulfing everything around, and manual windows that won’t close all the way.

I only bought it to get to see my mother every now and then. but tonight i wanted to spoil myself a little and see my favorite guy. And here I thought tonight was going to be a magical one.

Boy was I in for a surprise.

As I was walking into the gas station, I noticed two guys standing by the door with cigarettes in their mouths. I normally wouldn’t think anything of it, except for the fact they were eyeing me as if they could see through my clothes.

I walked into the gas station, paid for my pump cost, asked where the rest room was, and headed out the door.

The bathroom was on the side of the building, so I started heading that way. When I began to twist the handle and open the door, someone tapped my shoulder, i turned, i must have blacked out because all I could remember was a alot of pain in the back of my head.
