The next morning I went to meet up with Marco at the rink so we can start working again, but half way I got a phone call from Lodo...
- Heeeeey, girl!! I'm coming to Milano next week and to your show too!! - said Lodo excitedly and I suddenly screamed as well as she did.
Luckily I was already at the rink and Marco saw me and he didn't seem so surprised. He probably thinks I'm crazy now, or talking to a friend.
- That's amazing!! - I replied to her - I can't wait to see you again!!
- Me too!!
- Stop screaming already!! - said suddenly Marco.
- Sorry - I giggled and a few minutes later me and Lodo hung up the phone and I went to Marco to start working.
----- TIME SKIP -----
A few hours of practising we took a break. I've been thrown into the air for a few times by now and I honestly enjoyed it.
I never thought I'm gonna say this, but yeah... I did enjoy it.
- This was sooo good! - I sighed deeply as I sat down - You're the best teacher ever! - I said to Marco and hugged him.
He seemed surprised at first, but then he returned my hug.
- And you're the best student I've ever had - he said, smiling at me.
For some reason... The way he was smiling at me made me really happy and my heart beating faster than usual.
Do I really like him this much, or...?
Wait... No! We're just friends!
- Anyway... Who did you talk to when you came here? - he asked.
- Oh! It was my friend, Lodovica - I replied - She's coming here soon and I can't wait to see her! She's even coming to Notti Sul Ghiaccio to sing!
- Oh!
- Yeah! And I'm so excited to see her again soon! - I giggled - She has been away on her own tour for a few months now so I haven't got the chance to see her.
- I see... Then you'll see her again.
- Yes!
After some seconds of silent he spoke up again...
- Uhm... Would you like to come with me for a dinner tonight? - he asked, nervously - So... So we can relax together... What do you say?
- Well... Sure - I nodded - That would be good!
He smiled happily as I replied and soon we went back to practise.
----- HOURS LATER -----
When we finished with work it was already early evening so Marco took me home first and he went home too. On the way we agreed to meet two hours later at my house so we both have time to get dressed.
As soon as it was time I heard a knock on the door and I knew it's him so I went to open it and when I did I could see how surprised Marco was when he saw me.
- Wow... - he moaned - You look amazing...!
- Thank you - I giggled and couldn't help blushing as he said that - You don't look bad yourself either!
- Thank you - he smiled - Anyway... Shall we go?
- Yes! - I nodded and soon we left.
