Eventually our time in Italy had to come to an end. We had a flight back to the states later in the evening, so we spent our day doing other stuff with Mattias grandma.
"Grandma I don't want to eat more. I'm already full." I heard Mattia say as his grandma put another spoon full up to his mouth. I couldn't help but laugh.
After breakfast Mattia wanted to take me to a park he used to go to as a kid.
"I used to sit at the top of the slide and pretend like I owned the playground." He said.
"Why am I not surprised." I responded
The evening rolled around, and we had to say our goodbyes. I really did like his family in Italy. It was fun seeing his family's home.
"I love you too Grandma. Yes I'll be back. Yes soon" His Grandma kept asking him questions.
"Hey Layla, do you mind waiting outside for me." He asked me.
"Uh sure." I didn't question him I just stepped outside.
I shut the door behind me, but I was a little curious, I heard them all talking and then the door opened.
"Are you ready?" He said with his bags. "Yep"
After the flight:
We got off the flight and met with my parents.
"Oh, my Layla. How was your trip? Was everyone nice to you? Did you eat?" My mom started asking. My dad was as nonchalant as always.
"Yes mom. The trip was nice, everyone was nice, but yes I'm hungry." I told her.
"Yes Yes you must be starving. We can go get something to eat."
Back home:
Mattia and I had separated so we could be home for a little while. I Showered and talked to my mom more about my trip.
I checked my phone and seen a notification from Mattia.
Mattia ~ Do you want to go somewhere?
"Is that Mattia?" My mom asked.
"Uh yeah. He wants to go somewhere."
"You should go." She said.
"We just got back from being with each other for a week."
"So? I've spent every day for 20 years with your father. You should go....AND wear something nice." She said.
"Uhm okay." I said and texted him back.
I sat at my mirror getting ready until I heard a knock at the door.
"Layla it's Mattia." She screamed from downstairs.
This is all so weird. Usually, he would just come upstairs and get me, or he would tell me he's hear.
I walked downstairs and saw him in a nice outfit.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Nothing we're just going somewhere." He said and gave me flowers.
"I'll put these in some water. You two go have fun.... Not too much though." My mom said and pushed us out of the doorway.
"Everyone's being so weird right now."
"Nah it's okay." He said and he opened the door for me.
We had been driving for a while before he pulled into an empty dark parking lot.
"Mm It's really dark..." I said and opened my door.
"I promise it's not that dark when we get up there."
He took my hand and walked my up the side of a small hill where a bench was. The whole hill was lit up with stars.
"Here." He wiped the seat off for me to sit down and pulled and blanket over the both of us.
"This place is so pretty, where did you find it?" I asked him.
"When we took a break, I just drove around and somehow I found this place." He said looking up at the sky.
It was silent. It was a comfortable silence.
"Layla." He spoke softly.
"Yes?" I responded.
"I wanted to give you this."
I looked over and it was a beautiful ring.
"Mattia I can-"
"You can take it." He grabbed my right and put the ring on my 4th finger.
"Its a promise ring. Its only temporary." He said.
"It's beautiful Mattia, really." I said and I admired it.
"Thats really the whole reason we went to Milan. It was my grandmas ring. She told me to give it to the girl I wanted to love forever." He said.
I could feel the tears form in my eyes.
"So...I know we haven't had the best or strongest relationship, but I really do love you Layla. You're my universe, forget that corny ass world line." He said and smiled.
I smiled with him.
"Mattia I promise to love you forever too." I kissed him. Has his lips always been this soft?
"Layla, can I be your boyfriend?" He took my hands and asked.
"Only if I can be your girlfriend." I said and laughed.
"Of course you can." He hugged me.
We both looked back at the stars. I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"I love you forever Layla."
I love you forever Mattia."
The End~
Authors note: It has been a rough two years, but it has been so fun writing for all of my viewers. Sadly, I don't think I'll be writing another Mattia fanfic, but I know for sure I'll write other stories in the future. I hope everyone enjoyed this series as much I did. And thank you for all the support. I love all of my babies XO.
