Do I have to know who you are? / Måneskin / Damiano David

𝟔

Damiano looks up and sees Luna which really surprises him.

"Is everything okay? are you sick?" Damiano jokes

Luna doesn't really get the joke.

"Yeah I'm alright why?" she asks confused

"Because you just voluntarily decided to sit down right across from me. That's like 1 meter apart" Damiano laughs

"Omg I hate you so much" Luna answers laughing as well

"We both know that you don't actually hate me, you probably love seeing me here everyday and can't wait for me to come back" Damiano chuckles

"Stop with that shit no I don't, anyway what are you even doing here in the first place?" Luna quickly changes the topic

"what do you mean?" Damiano asks confused

"I mean you popped into this coffee shop two days ago and came back ever since. I have no idea who you are and believe me I know everyone and everything in this village" Luna says laughing

"I'm the devil and I will kidnap you once I know everything about you." Damiano burst outs in laughter

Luna starts laughing too: "omg stop joking I hate you so much"

"Okay well to be honest me and my band came here so we can completely focus on like writing songs and everything" Damiano explains

"a band? you didn't mention that the first time we talked. I thought you are just a very small musician" Luna repeats what he once said to her

"Yeah I'm in a band sorry for not telling you the first time you asked" he answers

"oh so you're one of those wannabe musicians who think they're famous because their song reached 100 clicks on YouTube" Luna laughs thinking what she assumes is right

"Actually" Damiano starts talking "we're pretty good, we can live from the music without having to worry about money and that's all that matters because we can live our dream"

"oh wow I didn't expect that, sounds exciting" Luna answers

"It is" Damiano confirms "it's always so much fun with my bandmates and it's never boring. They are amazing and I don't know what I would be doing without them"

"and where are your amazing bandmates now? Did they leave you alone because you're too annoying and scary for them?" Luna asks laughing

"well no, it was my own decision to spent the day alone and stay in this coffee shop until it closes," Damiano tells

"wait you just said until it closes, does that mean Ibstock with you for another 7 hours" Luna wants to know

"yeah that's exactly what I just said" Damiano laughs
"maybe I will leave later to buy some food because I'm really hungry but otherwise I will spend the whole day sitting here and observing you"

"oh please I know exactly why I hate you, you're a creepy stalker" Luna laughs and goes back behind her counter because a group of 7 customers just entered the shop.
They all are tourists and barely speak our language which makes it really hard for Luna to serve the all and coordinate everything.
After about 30 minutes they finally leave again.

"Hey...uhm... Damiano?" Luna says shy

"oh you talk with me that's something new" he grins

"yeah whatever I'm ordering pizza for me and I wanted to ask if you maybe want some too since you obviously don't plan to leave" the girl nervously asks the boy while blushing and looking at the ground.

"oh since when do you care for me?" Damiano asks confident

Luna gets nervous: "I just don't want you to die since you don't eat because of me but I guess it was a bad idea to ask you since you obviously don't want anything and now you're probably thinking I'm weird but I don't really care because-"

"Hey Luna please don't forget breathing and look at me" she gets interrupted by Damiano

The shy and nervous girl lifts her view from the ground and looks over the counter directly into Damiano's eyes.

"I would love some and I really appreciate it that you asked me," Damiano says

Luna starts to smile and the nervous feeling leaves her body. She picks up her phone and calls the local pizza place.

"We have to wait 20 minutes," she says before starting to clean everything.

In those 20 minutes, neither of them said a word. In the air is this weird silence but luckily the delivery man came and rescued them from this situation.

Damiano instantly stands up and grabs his wallet because he wants to pay but Luna is faster.

"I will not let a man pay for my food" she replies takes the Pizza and brings them to the table they both sat on.

"uhm excuse me girl," the delivery man says

"yes? Is there a problem?" Luna asked concerned

"I'm sorry but a phone number is written down on this banknote and unfortunately I can't accept it like this"

"uhm what?" Luna asks confused and has no idea what the delivery guy is talking about. She takes the banknote to take a look at it.

Damiano takes his chance and pays for both of them. The delivery guy leaves again and Luna is just confused.

"That's your number rights?" Luna confronts the boy

"I would never do something like this" Damiano says ironically and starts laughing

"Oh shut up you literally wrote your name on it and you're the only Damiano I know" Luna laughs

"well yeah you got me" Damiano smiles

Luna looks at the banknote and smiles at it.  After a while of just smiling she
folds the banknote and puts it in her back pocket.

"I saw that" Damiano smirks

"You saw nothing" Luna answers
"anyway our pizza gets cold"

They both sit down at the table and start eating their pizza. They laugh a lot and talk about the most random stuff.
Every once in a while Luna has to serve customers and Damiano writes some lyrics but other than that they spent the rest of the day laughing.

In half an hour the coffee shop closes and Damiano has to go back to his hotel. He kind of gets sad when he thinks about it but he tries to enjoy the rest of the time with Luna and today is definitely not the last day he will come to this coffee shop.

They are both sitting at the table near the window when a familiar face enters the coffee shop.

"Ethan?!" Damiano shouts surprised.
