Ultraviolence -Damiano David

11

"Are you having fun baby?"
John ask me when we leave the cinema.
He's trying hard to fix our relationship and that's something I appreciate but my mind can't leave Damiano.

He called me one time, after all these happened but I didn't answer.
It is for the better.
Victoria is the only one that I'm talking too.

"The movie was awesome. "
I answer honestly and eat the last popcorn.
His arm is around my waist and we walk through the streets of Rome in each other's arms.

I have to forget about him.
He's great with his fiancée, he considers me just his friend, I can't keep thinking about him.

It's one of the few times John does things for us and it's something I've been asking for a long time.

Maybe that's why I felt something for Damiano.
Right?

"What do you want to do now? Are you hungry my love?"

He is so sweet, it makes feel guilt.

"I would love to eat a waffle right now. "

He kisses me in the middle of the road and I kiss him back.
With him I can live what I'll never have with Damiano.

"Whatever you want. "

[. . . ]
A few minutes later we arrive at a beautiful little café.
I can say, I haven't had such a good time with John in a long time, he tries so hard for us and I was so stupid.

We eat while he tickles me, making me laugh.

"I hate this song. "
A familias song is playing and I raise my head towards the cafeteria screen.
It's a video of them singing and one of their best.

"Actually, i wanna be your slave is one of my favorites. "
I disagree with him. How can he hate that song?

"Can you still hear him?"
I see him getting serious and I curse the moment I opened this conversation.

"I don't just listen to him, it's a band. "

"It's your ex, Stella. "

I continue to eat without answering, this is not the time to open this conversation and let it slip that we had started hanging out or that a week ago I told him I was still thinking about him.

My cell phone rings and I'm irritated and leave my food to see who is it.
A notification from instagram is coming and I'm curiously looking at it.

"This movie sucks. "

It's him.
It has answered my story in the cinema.

"Who sent you?"
My boy next door asks me and I try to act nonchalant.
"Just Bella. "
I'm lying once again.

I decide not to reply to his message and put the phone down next to me.
A few minutes later it rings again.
"It's so rude leaving someone to read. "

I angrily chew my perfect waffle and turn down the sound. The last thing I want is for John to suspect something.

"Everything okay baby?"

"Yes everything is awesome!"

My phone lights up with no more sound and I almost choke on its message.

"Omg your responses are so fast, slow down i can't keep up. 😩"

"I'm trying to eat my waffles, shut the f up. "

"Ouch. "

I smile wanly but quickly hide it when John kisses me.
But once again my mind is on someone else.
To Damiano.
