Dancing Through Love

I wake up early the next morning and slip out of bed. I grab my key and walk down to Jenn's room. I knock quietly for a minute before she opens the door.

"Isa it's like 8 in the morning, what do you need?" She asks, still half asleep.

"Something happened last night."

"Did you two sleep together?"

"What? No! Why has everyone been saying that lately?" I ask before seeing the look she's giving me. "Don't answer that." I jump onto her bed as she closes the door.

"What happened?" Jenn asks, sitting in the chair.

"So I guess Dom thought I was asleep or something cause he said something."

"What did he say?"

"He- um he said 'I think I'm falling in love with you'." She squeals as I finish my sentence and hugs me tightly.

"He's so in love with you. I don't know how you don't see it."

"Cause he's not." I deadpan.

"Mhm. Do you love him back?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yes?"

"Well what do you feel for him then?"

"Look I-I don't know how to describe it, okay? I want him, not in a 'bend me over a table' kind of way, but more like the 'make me breakfast in bed and cuddle with cheesy nicknames' want him. Like emotionally, I want him."

"That, what you just described, is called love."

"Nuh-uh." I refuse.

"Isa," she says exasperated but before she can finish there's a knock at the door. "Hold on." She gets up and opens the door.

"Hey, have you seen Bella? She wasn't in our room when I woke up and-" Dom stops his little rant when I get up and walk to the door. He rushes in and hugs me tightly. I hug back and look at Jenn.

"Love." she mouths and I just shake my head slightly. Dom and I walk back to our room together, holding hands. I opened the door for us and let him go in first.

"Qualcuno era preoccupato, eh? (Someone was worried, huh?)" I tease, a smile on my face.

"Quizás (Maybe)," he says quietly before hugging me tightly again.

We go and see sights with the rest of the crew after a few hours. Dom and I split from the group at the Colosseum, taking our time walking around.

"I'm so happy that I got to see this." I admit as we sit on the grass and look up at it, eating a snack.

"I'm happy I got to see it with you," he smiles over at me. I blush and look away, glancing back after a second. We hold eye contact before he blinks and I grin.

"Haha I win!" I boast. He just smiles over at me, a dreamy expression on his face.

"Bella, look. I-"

Before he can finish Randy and Jenn call me over. "Isabella!" I look over and Randy beckons me over.

"Can you hold that thought?" He nods, looking slightly disappointed. "I'll be right back I promise." I say, kissing his cheek before getting up and walking over to Randy. "What's up?"

"I want a churro." He says, nodding at one of the vendors. I sigh, looking at Jenn who shrugs.

"Ciao, hai churros per caso? (Hi, do you have churros by any chance?)" I ask the vendor who shakes his head. "He said no."
