trespasser of personal boundaries

part three

- You know, I had such a weird dream today..

- About what?

Fabio asks me with a note of curiosity, kissing me on the right cheek.

-I don't think you'll like its contents.

- And yet. What was your dream about, Kimi?

I briefly tell about my dream, seeing Fedeli's absolutely impartial face. Surprised, I hit him in the chest, causing the guy to hiss.

- I'm sorry!

- Nothing, it's fine. So why are you so surprised at my reaction?

- It's just-I lick my dry lips-everything happened like in reality, I even hated myself at some point. I hated it for giving up the slack.

-Hey, look at me.

I slowly raise my gaze to Fabio, afraid to meet his gaze. Barely noticeable touches cause me complete delight. I never would have thought that I would be able to trust a person in a relationship so much.

- It's not your fault, do you hear? It's just one of those stupid dreams. I didn't love you any less.

He pats me on the back, calming me down. I allow myself to vent my emotions out, hugging Fabio. I don't know if I deserve such a guy, but I know one thing, I will never be able to cheat on him. Under no circumstances.

***

-You were with him again.

Niccolo states the obvious fact, squeezing the fork in his hands until his fingers turn white.

- And? He's my boyfriend, Nico. You can't control me all my life.

I speak calmly, starting to get annoyed.

- Oh, really? Have you probably already forgotten how your past relationship with Brando ended?

The brunette sitting next to me compresses his lips into a thin line, silently swallowing Nikko's sarcastic response.

- Maybe our relationship ended thanks to you, Nicollo! Because of your eternal control and desire to fence me off from all the guys. Have sex? You can't! Hugging guys? The same as with the first point. Kiss their cheek? Definitely not! Dear Lord, what can I do at all? Sit and wait for your permission? I can't do this! For once in your life, please sincerely rejoice in my relationship with Fabio. Or at least pretend.

I looked from my brother to his friend and giggled, pointing to Brando's broken nose.

- Desantis, I'm afraid to upset you, but Halloween has long passed. You're late.

He snorted, but I managed to notice a slight smile on his lips.

- Fuck you, Kimi.

- I'll probably refuse.

***

- Is everything okay?

The guy anxiously takes my face in his hands.

- Yes, we quarreled with Niccolo again.

I rolled my eyes in displeasure, closing my locker.

-Is it because of me?

- Mostly? Yes. But it's not your fault, it's just that my brother has to understand that he can no longer control me when he wants.

- I've been thinking and decided to introduce you to my father. I understand if this is a responsible step for you, but I love you and our relationship is very serious for me.

- Of course I don't mind. When?

- Today, if you don't mind.

- No, I'm in favor.

- Great, I'll text you, right?

Fabio gently kisses on the forehead, and then goes to class with a smile from ear to ear.

I feel my brother's irritated gaze, not paying proper attention to him. Maybe I'll talk to him, but definitely not today. And not tomorrow.

- Come on?! Dinner and meeting his father? I didn't think you and Fabio were that serious.

Ludo rolls her eyes playfully, and I slap her lightly on the shoulder with a grin.

- No, Kimi, we are really surprised.

Chiara joins Ludovica's words by hugging me.

- How do you think his father will react to me? I'm worried.

- Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine.

I smile at the two of them, my gaze moves smoothly with the hands of the clock, and I immediately get up.

-Is something wrong?

My friend asks anxiously, taking my hands. I shake my head negatively, gently pushing the blonde away.

- Not really, I have to get ready for dinner.

-Then we dare not detain you.

Ludo says with a sly smile and hugs me, Chiara does the same.

- Have fun, honey!
