The next summer- Luca x Alberto

Three- Movie night

GIULIA'S POV-

I look out of the window as I pet one of the many kittens from my cat. And see Luca and Alberto climbing up the tree. They're both laughing and talking. What are they going to do up there? I thought we were going to watch a movie? Maybe they're getting something I don't know. I have to laugh thinking about today. " Psst! Giulia! " I hear someone call me. I look around and my heart drops. I cannot believe my eyes...its Ercoles cousin. I walk downstairs and straight out of the door. " My name is Lucia and I live around here and- " she says. " Ugh Lucia I already know who you are! Why are you here? Are you planning something with Ercole? " I ask annoyed. " No! I'm not... I just..." She stops talking and stares at the ground. " Nevermind " she murmurs and turns around. I sigh and grab her arm stopping her. " Why were you here? " I ask once again. " Um...I...heard you were back so I wondered if you'd like to go swimming? " She asks me. I look at her confused. " Uh- you can bring Luca and...the other one " she says quickly.
" Alberto, his name is Alberto! " I correct her then I sigh. I can feel the pain from earlier come back, but this time it's worse. " So are you and your friends coming? " She asks again. I look at her and point my finger to her face. " How can I know I can trust you? " I ask. " Well um, I don't know, guess you'll have to find out " Lucia smiles. I look at her for a second and then look away. " I'll let you know if we'll come, now Vai! " I yell the 'vai' part. She walks away. " Giulia are you not going to watch the movie with us? " Alberto asks. I grab my stomach. " Yeah, aren't you going to watch the movie with us? " Luca asks the same question again. I shake my head no. " Actually I think I'm going to sleep guys..." I smile. Crap what is this pain?! It keeps coming and going? What if I have some type of sickness? Santa mozzarella! It hurts! I feel like I'm dying. " Well...okay, but are you sure you're- " I interrupt Luca by pushing the two away. " I'm lovely! Just peachy! You two go enjoy the movie I'm going to bed! " I laughed nervously. They both looked at each other and then smiled at me. " If you change your mind you can always come and watch with us! " Then the two of them finally disappeared. I sigh of relief. I walk back to my room, I walk past Alberto and Luca but don't even look at them, suddenly I just feel like sleeping? Or crying? Or treating someone's life apart? I don't know what's going on but I don't like it. I go under the sheets and just pray that pain goes away. Because it hurts like heck!

LUCA'S POV-

I look at Alberto. He seems to like the movie. I smile. He then looks at me. " Are you hungry Luca? " Alberto asks.
" Oh um, a little " I respond. Alberto stands up and runs to the kitchen, then comes back with some popcorn. " Popcorn! " I say in awe " I've never tried those! I've always wanted to! " I exclaim. " You've never tried them? Dude, they're like THE BEST! " Alberto hands them over to me as he sits back down. I put one in my mouth. " Hmmm it's not that great as I thought..." I say disappointed. " Oh, do you want something else? I can get you some..." Alberto asks. " No! It's fine, it's fine really " I smile at him. I really want to hold his hand again. Alberto totally likes the movie but it's no wonder it's right up his alley, action, murder, romance, horror he likes this type of stuff. But I personally only enjoy romance and comedy. Me and Giulia once went to the Cinema! That's what she called it. And it was scary! I couldn't sleep for a week! I was scared that's some thing was going to pull me off my bed and eat me! I stare at Alberto's hand, it's right beside mines. I went to grab it but he just dodges. I'm embarrassed. Did I do something wrong? Is he mad at me? " Shoot the leg! Shoot the leg! " Alberto yells at the man in the TV. " Don't shout Alberto.." I say a little mad at him. " Oh sorry...didn't notice I was being so loud " Alberto says. He shifts closer to me. I don't get if we're just friends or not. I'm so confused. " Oooh here comes the girl " Alberto said excited. I also don't get if he is like me or not? I look at the movie and the woman and the man start kissing. I blush a little and look at Alberto, he was blushing too! I would live it if he would just kiss me but knowing Alberto, he'd never do that. Or would he? I don't know. I'm sure I wouldn't because if I did something would go wrong and I know that as a fact. But I guess I could hold his hand again. Or at least try. I'm not sure how I should get him to hold my hand?
" Alberto..."
" Yeah? " He says without even looking at me. " I wan- " I stop myself. I can't say that I want to hold hands? That sounds weird! " Luca what is it? " He now asks looking at me. " No nothing..." I murmur. " Are you mad at me? " Alberto asks. " Wh-what? No ofcourse not Alberto! " I reassure him. He smiles at me and then looks Back at the TV. I stare at him for a second but he interrupts the gaze, because he suddenly looks at me and smiles. I look away really fast. After the first movie ended, we started watching a movie that I wanted to see. " Alberto look! Don't fall asleep you'll miss the best part! " I exclaim smiling. " I'm a little tired " Alberto admitted. I looked at him, he was looking directly at me. " Why are you looking at me? " I ask a little nervous. Alberto sighs and rolls his eyes. " You ruined the moment " he said as he yawns. Moment? I'm thinking about kissing him, well not on the mouth but on the cheek. I think I should do it. Silenzio Bruno. Silenzio Bruno. Silenzio Bruno. You can do this.
