Gelato

We are off to tell the band what had happened. Im so nervous, of course. I didn't know if they liked me after seeing how hurt Damiano was after I broke up with him...

Dami thought it would be better if we would walk there together instead of driving. So that's what we're doing. We walk along, our hands intertwined with each other's. The streets of Rome are so pretty. All the cute little shops, the landmarks and the delicious smell of pizza.

So far, we had been fortunate enough not to see any paparazzi, so everything was ok. It's not that I hated the picture side of the media and paparazzi, it's the untrue rumors they would make up. Like the ones that ruined our whole relationship. I just couldn't have that happen again, so what other way then hiding from them completely could I do?

"Ooh" I say as we walk past an ice cream shop, looking into the window.

There are so many flavours. Flavours as basic as vanilla but also flavours as unique as strawberry shortcake. Damiano turns his head. His eyes lighten and he smiles at me.

"We are so getting one of those" He says, walking into the shop. I follow.

We both stand there, looking around at all the flavours making our choice on what to get.

"Amore mio, get the stracciatella, it's so good" he recommends.

"Yeah ok, what are you having?" I ask curiously.

"Gianduia is my favorite" he said.

I knew that.

"Here" I say, passing him my credit card.

"What are you doing?" He asks

"Here, use my card to pay" I say leaning my arm over to him.

"Bambina, no! I will pay!" He insists, handing his money instead to the shop worker.

I walk outside as it's a bit hot in the shop and stand outside cooling myself with a fan. I'm wearing a mini blue skirt with a white crop top but somehow I'm still hot.

"Here" Damiano says, passing me my ice cream.

"Mmm, thank you! Oh my god, it tastes so good" I tell him while tasting it.

"Mine too! Gesù cristo, ice cream is just heaven" he says while eating his ice cream.

"Can I try?"  I ask.

"Yes of course" he says.

He holds his ice cream out in his arm so I can try some. I go to lick it but he dabs it onto my nose.

"Dami!" I say laughing.

"Hahaha, you look cute" he says laughing back, wiping the ice cream off my face for me.

We continue to walk along the streets, almost at Victoria's house, where Thomas and Ethan also are. The sun is shining on us both. Dami, looks so good in the sun. His face is shining, he looks golden, he actually looks happy. I smile looking up at him as we walk, our hands still together. Then he sees me just looking at him.

"What?" He smiles.

"I've missed you" I say.

"Aw" He says as a smile lights up his face "mi amore, I've missed you too"

He leans forward to me and kisses me. The kiss lasts for a few seconds. I can feel his smile against my lips, it makes me smile too. How did I ever let him go?

We break apart. There are people staring at us. Great. Damiano notices as well and sees me looking a little nervous. He puts his arm around my shoulder as we walk the last few minutes to Victoria's. I feel so safe when he puts his arm like that.

We finally arrive at Vics.

"You good?" Damiano asks me as he goes to knock on the door.

"Yes, I'm ok" I say. I am ok. I'm just nervous of what they will do. I'm sure it will be a good reaction though.

We wait. Damiano's arm is around my waist now. Then, the door opens. Victoria has opened it. A few steps behind her are Ethan and Thomas. They all stop what they're doing and freeze.

"Oh. My. GOD!"
