  Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
A sigh escaped her parted lips as she found a seat in the busy and crowded starbucks, she held her expensive tazo chai iced tea latte close to her, preparing for to take a drink. Though she did not complete the drink, she stopped and stared at the steam coming from the small opening in the lid.
Although it was nice to be alone for once, to walk the streets without listening to the latest gossip or talking about the latest fashion trends, Aurora missed her friends, and she missed conversation. She usually was the one leading the conversation, the one most up to date on gossip and on fashion, but today she did not really care about that, that is why she sought refuge in the starbucks, away from everyone else.
She curled a strand of dark auburn hair behind her ear, reaching into her Chanel bag for a school book to read while sitting there alone. She opened the book, taking a sip of her chair iced latte her hot chocolate colored eyes began scanning the pages of the thick book, in hopes of attaining every bit of information they held.
Lately she had sought refuge in the comforting words of books, whether they be a book from school a a purely fictional book she picked up from Barnes and Nobles. She usually was never seen with a book, never seen with school work, she was the airhead, the ditsy one, but this was a break for her and she thought that no one was watching.

gianni awoke that morning rather early. though he ahd stayed up extrmely late to finish the book he had been reading. he fumbled his way into his bathroom, adn into the shower. after getting out he dressed himself in his usual attire and finished getting ready for the day. gianni then made his way down stairs and into the kicteh, he looked at th coffee pot adn decided starbucks would be easier.
the itailian ahd been drinking a lot of coffee lately. it calmed his nerves.. which he had a lot of at that moment. gianni grabbed the keys to his range rover adn walked out of the door and off to the black car. this car cost as much as some homes did, but he had the money to burn so why not burn it on luxury cars? gianni drove into the town, spending his car ride mumbling under his breath. og those deep thoughts were getting old now.
it took gianni nearly twenty minutes to find a place to park, and it had irritated him. he wasn't his usual self lately. beyond pissed he was right now, and confused. and never was he confused and he didn't like the feeling of being confused. gianni waited in the long line, tapping the foot to his itailian leather shoe barely able to to keep himself from cursing the store out in his native tongue. the same girl from the other day quickly took giann'i order adn gianni paid her then took his coffee.
he made his way over to a table, not the one he ahd sat in the past few days. a girl sat there, so he took the table next to it. he was surprised he didn't know this woman, he seemed to be best friend swith every other girl on campus it seemed. gianni's blue green eyes danced from his phone and coffee to the girl. he turned in his chair and cleared his throat.
er, i don't think i know you,... i'm gianni martenetti
gianni stuck out his hand, his accent was able to be covered that morning. he was too frustrated to focous that hard at the moment.

She took a small sip of her coffee as she continued reading, watching in her peripherals as a boy she though was rather familiar sat down at the table next to her. She cocked her head and continued reading, cursing to herself slightly as the thought dawned on her that he was from school.
She thought about getting up and leaving, without even saying a word to this boy. She could walk down the street and forget all about him, but if he did recognize her then that would be incredibly rude. She did not want to come off as rude to a person she had never met, then the rumors might fly.
She sighed, and looked up, taking a sip of her chai just as the boy turned his chair to face her. He had recognized her, and part of her wanted to strangle him, but the other part of her recognized that he was in fact quite cute, she would give him credit for that, most certainly foreign.
As he introduced himself, her mouth nearly fell open at the soft sound of his accent, well hidden, but it was so incredibly attractive. The corned of her mouth tipped up as she dropped the book onto the table, starring at his hand for a moment, she reached out and shook it politely, "No. We have not had the pleasure of meeting, Gianni. I am Aurora Collins." She flashed a smile, her pearly whites bright and shinning.

even in the most terrible mood gianni still managed to be kind to women. it was the repsect thing really. yes some got tired of that rant, but respect was the center of his life. everything he did and said was based off a resepect factor. sure, he had a lot more resepct for his female peers then his male, but that didn't mean he was going to be a total jerk to the male population.
that stupid phone buzzed against the table over and over. gianni was about to throw it at a wall, he was tired of his cousin trying to apologize. it was all because he knew he had something bad coming to him, and that gianni figured out he was a rat. it was sad when family went against you. but it was done deeply into history. normal thing,.. right?
gianni turned himeself more in his seat to face the woman, he softly smiled as she returned the introduction. gianni was a man who was very oblivious to things. he didn't get that women found him drop dead gorgeous, it enver even crossed his mind really. he thought they all saw him like a best friend, a confidant, even like a brother. and that was the way he liked to think. gianni nodded, it was nice to hear that women still had pleasure manners in introductions, it was a nice change of tone to his ears.
well the pleasure is mine
yes, gianni was a gentlemen. he lightly kissed aurora's hand, he did this in all introductions. it was how his mother had taught him to respond after a lady had spoke her name. and he still did it to this day. he was one of the few who didn't have a probelm with doing it even in his teen years.

Aurora studied him intensely, the fact that he did not pick up his cellular phone. That he looked slightly irritated by tried very hard to hide it, and he did an amazing job.
as he took her hand she stared surprised, she had never dated anyone or met anyone who did this. she found it refreshing and nice, though slightly awkward, she found handshakes to be extremely awkward as well.
she smiled again, a laugh pushed slightly from her throat, short and brief, her raspy voice came again this time as she spoke, "Well." She smiled again and paused, "I must say, I wish I had met you sooner. You are quite the gentleman." Her brown eyes alive and sparking with pure enjoyment.
She looked back at her book, closing it slowly, "To be honest, I hadn't expected anyone from school to be here. I usually am not this much of nerd." She grinned, and she laughed a brief small laugh more at herself than anything else.
OOC: Sorry its so short..my muse is like running on empty for some reason.

a gentlemen, women told him that a lot. and then there was the other males at school,.. yes they called him things like "fag" and "homo". all becasue he was best friends with all these women, and yet wasn't hooking up with any of them. but that wasn't who he was. though the insults never carried on to long. some of the guys were beaten and bashed,.. others were,.. well they just didn't speak anymore.
gianni rolled with a tough crowd outside of school. it was why he didn't have any guy friends through the school. he ahd all the male friends he needed through his family. he didn't trust other guys too much. and with what his rat of a cousin had done, it all had made it more clear as to why the young man didn't trust other guys.
ah, another thing guys called him. a nerd,.. but he had to study hard. he was out to be a lawyer adn take over a very well established firm after his father. he had to hit the books hard, but he'd be the one laughing when he was sitting on pounds and pounds of money only three years out of school. after graduation gianni would take over being co-owner with his father. and about five to ten years from there, he'd be full time owner. and would have life more then well from that point on. and people thought he ahd it good now, adn that was off father's money.
yes,.. i've been here everyday this week actually. been trying to cut back on the other addictions.
yes sir, gianni had a hard alcohol addiction. and an even nastier drug addiction to follow. it wasn't something he was proud of. he ahd tried to clean up,.. but never had the reason to really.nothing to make him want to clean up.
