I woke up earlier than usual, to the sound of my door being almost knocked down. Truth is, I was a bit terrified because the only people I know here are Davi and Carol, and the Torres family. Which I doubt I've done anything to piss them off enough to murder me.
I slowly got up from my bed, and with quiet steps I approached the door. The banging was getting worser and worser, with every step I took closer.
'I HAVE A KNIFE!' I shouted. 'I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE!'
Pretty stupid of me, as probably the murderer only spoke Spanish. After a few seconds of continuous banging, the person bursted out laughing.
'You have a knife, my ass.' the person said, barely inaudible because of his laughter.
I opened the door in an instant, jumping on the person and wrapping my legs around their waist. I started placing kisses all over their face, missing out the lips.
'Oh my God!' I said through kisses. 'What the hell are you doing here?!' I said excitedly, looking at him.
'I missed you.' Luca shrugged his shoulders with a big grin on his face. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder. He walked into the apartment still carrying me.
After a few minutes of hugging and not saying anything, I returned my legs on the ground.
'Why the hell didn't you tell me you were coming?' I asked, pushing him playfully.
'That's the whole point of a surprise, don't you think?' he shook his head, pushing me back.
'I can't believe it!' I said falling on the couch, staring at him.
I was so relieved to see him. I missed him like crazy and the fact that he was here, standing in front of me... I wanted to hug him and never let him go.
After a few minutes I stood up and positioned myself in front of him, my arms crossed. 'What happened?'
'What do you mean?' he asked confused.
'Luca...' I frowned my eyebrows. 'I can see it on your face. What's up?'
'Nothing happened.' he shook his head.
'Where's Andrea?'
No answer.
'Luca...' I said, longing out his name.
'We broke up.' he said fast.
'What?!' I said my eyes widening. 'What the hell did you do?' I pushed him.
'I didn't do anything.' he said, raising his hands in defence.
'So why the hell did she break up with you?!'
'When did I even say she's the one that broke up with me?' Luca said, making me shrug my shoulders, because he did have a point. 'I broke up with her.' he said sternly.
'Why the hell would you do that?' I asked confused.
'Because she cheated on me.'
After a few seconds of silence, I bursted out laughing. 'Yeah, right.' I shook my head. 'You got me there, pal.'
'Why would I lie to you?' he said annoyed at my reaction.
'What the...' I said, dropping on the couch.
Because he was right. Why would he lie to me. We knew everything about eachother and would never judge one another. So why would he lie.
He dropped on the couch next to me and started telling me how she kept on visiting her family in Champagne, not only because of them, but because some farmer boy caught her eye.
'Unbelievable!' I said throwing my hands.
'I don't really care.' he said shrugging his shoulders. 'After you left...' he took a deep breath. 'Everything went south anyways.'
'How long are you staying?'
'How long do you want me to stay?' he smirked.
I screamed excitedly and threw myself on top of him, both of us erupting in laughter.
'I'm so, so, so glad that you're here.' I said, my eyes meeting his. 'Really.' I nodded my head.
'Yeah, well, I guess you just got yourself a roommate.' he said raising his hand, high fiving him.
'Okay, I need to start getting ready.' I said standing up. 'I need to go to work.'
'You work?' he asked chuckling.
'Yes.' I rolled my eyes at him. 'And you'll love it.' and with that I jumped straight into the shower and started getting ready.

'Okay, let's go.' I said 40 minutes later.
'This is how you go to work?' he smirked.
My outfit today was a pair of black leggings and a black oversized shirt, while my hair was up in a ponytail. I glanced at myself and then at him, confused.
'Do a little twirl for me.' he said gesturing with his finger.
'Gross.' I said hitting him with my bag and leaving the apartment, Luca following me.

It's been 4 days since Davi stayed over, 4 more days since Pedri made it a habit to come into the cafe. Truth is, he was kind of the highlight of my days. Everytime he walked in, his eyes will sparkle and a massive smile will spread across his face.
'I like it.' Luca said walking into the cafe, glancing around.
'I told you.' I smiled. 'Diego, this is Luca. Luca, this is Diego.' I introduced them.
'The boyfriend.' Luca said extending his arm towards Diego.
'The stupid.' I said slapping Luca's head, making Diego laugh.
'The underage lover.' Diego said laughing, shaking Luca's hand.
'I like this kid.' he said excitedly.
***
After serving Luca some croquettes, his reaction being the same as mine, we started getting everything ready to open the cafe.
'Where the hell do you find all these people?' Diego asked, glancing at Luca who was sorting out a few things.
'I'm just lucky.' I smiled, looking at my bestfriend.
***
The cafe was full with customers, everyone in a good mood, vibing to the music.
As I was serving my next customer, Luca came and gave me a kiss on my head. I smiled and looked towards the entrance of the cafe, catching a glimpse of our loyal customer, who turned around and exited as soon as he saw Luca's gesture.
Oh.
