She then sighed and said, "Gigi, come with me. I need to speak to you."novelbin
Damian was holding onto Gigi so tightly that she couldn't move. She gave Pearl a worried glance."Pea, I—"
"Let her go, Damian. I just want to talk to her for a minute," Pearl reassured him before she tookGigi's hand and led her aside.
"Do you know why I'm asking you to stay with me?"
Gigi nodded first, then hesitated and shook her head.
Pearl tried to explain, "It's pretty clear how Damian feels about you."
Gigi blushed.
"Don't get too excited. It's not what you think," Pearl said, noticing Gigi's shy look. "My mom askedme to look after you, and I don't want any guy, including my friend, to hurt you. He's not great withrelationships. He's not right for you."
Pearl was worried. Gigi was young, and she wasn't sure if Gigi fully understood the gravity of herwords.
"I know… Damian likes you…" Gigi admitted, looking both sad and disappointed.
"If you're aware of that, then you shouldn't let him take advantage of you," Pearl said gently,touching Gigi's face. "I'll find someone good for you. Don't fall into anyone's trap."
"I know you mean well," Gigi replied, though it was clear her feelings were complicated. Love wasn'tsomething people could control.
"But you still like him, right?" Pearl could see the truth in Gigi's eyes.
Gigi looked down, unable to respond.
"Does it make you happy, being used by him to make me jealous?" Pearl hoped the harsh truthwould help Gigi let go.
"I don't want to be used, and it doesn't make me happy, but I—" Despite everything, Gigi wascontent with any attention Damian gave her, even if she wasn't the one he truly wanted.
"Are you willing to overlook everything because you're in love?" Pearl asked, puzzled. "Can't yousee how this will end?"
"I know." Gigi understood the consequences but was still drawn to him, ready to face the inevitableheartache.
"If you've made up your mind, I won't try to change your mind. There's only one thing I can do tohelp," Pearl said after a moment of thought.
Gigi paused. "What's that?"
Pearl chuckled. "I'll keep my distance from him. If he stops focusing on me, maybe he'll have roomin his heart for someone else. That could be your chance to get closer to him."
Hearing this, tears began to well in Gigi's eyes.
