I stood watching Danielle and Stefania goofing around in the kitchen. They both looked so relaxed and chilled around one another.

I quickly took out my phone and snapped a picture of them.
"You two are so cute," I laughed, showing them my phone.
"Ha you're silly," Stefania laughed, pointing at Danielle in the photo.
"We're not as cute as you though baby girl," Danielle grinned, walking around the kitchen island to kiss the top of head and ruffle my hair.
"Hey," I laughed, flattening it back down as Danielle turned to walk into the lounge.
"How're you feeling bambina?" Stefania asked, taking hold of my hand.
"I'm okay, my stomach hurts a little bit," I admitted, following her to join Danielle.
"This might make you feel better," Danielle said with a smirk, sitting on the sofa and resting her laptop on her knee.
She patted the space beside her. I sat down and leant back into Stefania as she sat next to me, wrapping her arm around me. She let me rest into her, her warmth instantly comforting me.
"Here you go beautiful girl," Dani smiled, handing me her bank card.
"What's this for?" I asked, staring at her blankly.
"We're going to Italy next week. You my sunshine need new clothes," she grinned excitedly.
"I have clothes," I laughed awkwardly.
"It will be really warm bambina, it's the middle of summer," Stefania said, twirling a piece of my hair around her finger.
"You don't need to," I told Danielle, placing her card back in her hand.
"I know but I want to, so let's get shopping," she smiled, shuffling closer so we could all see her laptop.
So far Danielle had ordered me a new pair of converse and a pair of denim shorts.
"What about this one?" Stefania suggested, leaning forward to point at a little pink thin strapped dress on the Zara website.
"That's really pretty," Danielle nodded.
"Do you like it Mali?" She asked.
"It's really nice but it won't suit me," I said, shrugging my shoulders.
"You'll look amazing in it sunshine," Danielle said seriously, turning to look at me.
"I don't know," I said, playing with the rings on Stefania's hand.
"I can order it for you and send it back if you don't like it?" Dani suggested.
"What if it doesn't look good?," I said, biting down on my cheek to stop myself getting upset.
