Torna a Casa | Damiano David

IV. X-factor star

"I kinda sleep in the middle too." said Damiano smirking. I was a bit uncomfortable, after all that happened this night. But I just hopped on the bed and turned my back on him. I don't know why but I was kinda hoping he would spoon me but he didn't.

"Good night Marlèna." he said and turned around. Did he just pronounced my name wrong? I just shook my head and tried to sleep.

After half and hour of tossing and turning I finally fell asleep. He obviously did not like me in that way, I thought to myself. I need to snap out of it and sleep.

The sun rays woke me up and I felt a pair of hands around me. He actually spooned me?  I turned around to look at him peacefully sleeping and got up trying not to wake him.

I quietly walked to the bathroom and as I stepped in I saw his rings and necklace on the shelf. They were really pretty. I tried a ring on and looked at it with amusement. It kinda suited me even tho it was a little big for me. I was distracted by the beauty of his jewelry and I didn't see him standing behind me. He was running his fingers through his messy medium length hair and smiling.

"It looks good on you." he said.

"Oh sorry, I was just noisy and I shouldn't have touched it." I quickly taking the ring of my finger and gaving it to him.

"No, no. Keep it, it suits you." said he as he put the ring back on my finger.

"Thank you Damiano, I really like it." I smiled and looked down.

"No problem, Marlèna. And when I become an X-factor star you'll be able to say that a famous person gave you a ring." he jocked and crossed his arms.

"Why do you keep miss pronouncing my name? It's Malèna, without the r."

"I know, I think of it as kind of a nickname."

I just looked down feeling myself blush. He gave me a nickname. Malèna, stop it, he just broke up and you have Luca to deal with.

"Okay, if you say so. Do you want to eat something?"

"Um, yeah sure. I'll just hop to the store to buy anything if you need it."

"Um, no. You don't have to do that. I'll be downstairs making us breakfast and coffee." I said and walked out of the bathroom. Turning around I saw him glance at my ass and close the door. Was he checking me out?

We ate, drank our cappuccino and smoked on the terrace of my house. I saw a taxi pulling over and Vic getting out of it.

She just ran into my house and got to the terrace as quickly as she could. After hugging me tightly she looked at Damiano.

"Did you actually sleep over? You guys had sex or what?" she laughed looking at both of us now.

"No." we said in unison.

"Okay, you're losers who have chemistry. Damiano, we have rehearsal at 12. You better be there on time!  Now go, I want to be alone with my best friend!" Victoria said and I looked her.

"C'mon Vic don't be rude. Damiano you don't have to go."

"No, no, Vic is right. But I'll call you tomorrow and we can hang out." he said standing up. He grabbed his stuff from my room and I walked him to the door.

"If you don't want to go back home, you can sleep over tonight. Just text me and I'll order dinner or something." I really wanted him to sleep over again. He was so magnetic and Vic was right, we really had chemistry.

"I would really like that. I'll text you when we finish the rehearsal. Ci vediamo stasera, bella Marlèna." (I'll see you tonight, beautiful Marlèna) said he and kissed my cheek.
