"I loved today." Romeo says into my ear.
"Me too, well most of it." I giggle. I was over my Mother, I chose to forget it. This trip was to confirm all my school stuff and enjoy the time with Romeo. We were planning to go to my school tomorrow and I was pretty anxious to be honest.

"I'm going to go to sleep, it's been a long day and we have to be up early tomorrow." I whisper because I'm so exhausted.
"Okay I'm going to have a shower. I'll be in bed soon. Goodnight!" He replies in a low but soft voice.
"Goodnight." I reply.

I change into some shorts and an oversized tee and wrap myself in the duvet and close my eyes. My muscles relax and my body starts falling into a dream. I dream of the hazel coloured eyes that stared into mine only earlier today.

I wake up to my body pressed against Romeo's and his arm is draped over mine. I remove myself from the bed and start the shower in the bathroom. I step in the shower and droplets of water run down my face and down my back. I wash myself and let the water to keep falling down over me.

A knock on the bathroom door drags me out of my trance and I stop the shower water.
"Chiara I need to pee so bad. I've waited ages for you to finish!"He shouts. I unlock the door and he runs over to the toilet. I dry myself off and pull a dress over my head.I hear the water run again so I take it that Romeo is showering. I let my hair air dry since we don't have to leave for another 2 hours. I just wanted to be ready.

Romeo walks out with the towel hanging on his hips and I take in the view.
"Hey eyes up here pretty girl." He refers to the time I told him that. I smile and walk out of the room so he can have some privacy.

I pour out some orange juice along with a glass for Romeo and set it down on the table. Romeo walks out in black jeans and a black tee. I have no idea how he's wearing jeans because I know for sure I would be way to hot. I smile at him and tell him good morning and he does the same.

I go back to the bedroom and brush my hair in the mirror. I decide to leave it down and reach for my makeup bag in my suitcase. I hear the door creak and look up to Romeo standing in the door frame. I raise my eyebrow at him and he just looks back at me.

"What?" I question him.
"What I'm just watching you get ready, is that a problem?"
"Yes you're putting me off go watch TV!" I joke.
He doesn't move from the room but instead sits on the bed and watches me more intently.

I stare at him through the mirror and try to ignore him. I dab a little concealer under my eye and swipe some mascara over my lashes. I decide that I want to try eyeliner today so I also line my eyes with the black ink. I don't mess up even with the pressure of Romeo watching me.

I finish off with some clear lip gloss and rub my lips together. I finish my popping my lips and I turn to Romeo.
"How do I look?"
"Fucking perfect!"

I blush and he slides his legs off of the bed and pulls me into his chest. I hang my arms over his shoulder and lean my cheek against his chest.
"I'm so nervous." I say in a low voice.
"Hey you're going to do great. Even if you don't get what you wanted, you are still perfect to me."
"Thank you, you are way too kind."

He says nothing and we stay hugging each other. I pull away and smile up at him. He is much taller than me. I'm like 5"5 and he must be 5"11 or 6 foot.

"Hey Romeo can I ask you something?"
"Anything"
"What was school like for you."
"I finished 2 years ago, obviously and well it was okay. I hated school. I mean yes I was popular and that part was good. I hung out with people all the time and never spent my time alone. Until after I finished I kind of stayed to myself and with my ex I guess."
"Oh right." I finish the conversation and pick up a bag.

"Can we walk about, I don't want to stay in here for the next hour and a half."
"Of course, you lead the way."

We are out of the hotel and back into the streets. It's quite humid today and the sun is shining down on me. The streets are lit up in the golden essence and it's gorgeous, not as gorgeous as Italy though.

We walk together street after street and sometimes wonder around a store. We don't pick anything out. Nothing really speaks to me I guess. We step out of a corner store and I see someone I didn't want to.

Harry. The guy who commented "hot" on my post. I try to look away but he's already spotted me. He smirks and starts walking towards us.
"Hey Chiara!" He says, that same smirk plastering his face.

"Harry." I nod. I can't be asked for this shit.
"How have you been! Long time no see." He asks.
"Good. Yeah I don't live her anymore. Here for the week." I keep it short.
"Yeah saw your post. Italy looks cool. You're hot since you moved."

Romeo tenses and I look up to him. Something tells me he's not a fan of Harry. I mean I'm not either but he seems much worse.
"Come on Chi, we have stuff to do." He squeezes my hand.

"Where to? Can't you stay longer? Maybe get a drink?"
"Back off. Can't you see she's not interested." Romeo cuts in for me. It's true I'm not interested I just wanted to be polite.
"Woah chill out. I'm just saying. She's hot."

I tug Romeo's hand and we walk away from Harry. I roll my eyes and lean in closer to Romeo.
"That's the guy who commented. Wasn't it?"
I sigh, "yeah."

Honestly Harry was horrible to me in school. He was the only one who I guess hung out with me. But not for company. He would steal my lunch and mock me. Not the guy you wanted around.

"Anyways. Where's your school then?" Romeo asks breaking me from my thoughts about Harry.
