"𝗕𝗨𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗔 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗜𝗘!" 𝗟𝗘𝗢 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗗 wrapping me into a tight hug as he stood outside the car. I was glad to see Leo, he was one of the few people that actually forgave me and still talked to me, he was the only one out of the team that knew the truth. "Buonasera Leo!" I smiled, kissing both of his cheeks as he returned the favour. "Let's get on the road huh?" Leo offered with a smile, opening the car door for me. "Well what about my cases?" I nodded to them. "I'll put them in the trunk, don't worry one bit." He assured me, I went to interrupt yet Leo gave me that look that told me not to argue. So, I sat in the passenger seat and let him put my bags away.
"I've missed you so much." I told him seriously as he got in the car, "Same here." He smiled to me. "I'm glad you're still happy to see me, I doubt anyone else on the team will be." I stated with a sigh. Leo rolled his eyes as he started driving away from Roma airport, "Don't worry about that, it's just because they don't know the reason like I do." He told me, he was trying to assure me but in a twisted way I just felt an odd guilt. "How's the job going?" I finally asked him, rolling down the window and lighting up a cigarette.
"It's going good, so good in fact that you're stuck with me as well as the rest of the band." He smirked to me. "You say that like it's a bad thing, I need someone like you around to keep me company and get the cute pictures of me." I smirked back to him, taking a drag on my cigarette and offering him a drag, he took it. "How's Damiano?" I finally asked, avoiding Leo's gaze as I asked him. I kept looking out the window as if I'd never been to Roma before, I didn't want to meet Leo's eyes as he told me how horrible Damiano did without me and that he hated my guts. "He's great, he's loving the direction the band are in and the attention from fans. Honestly, you have nothing to worry about." Leo told me. I wasn't convinced by everything he said, so instead of answering- I handed Leo the rest of the cigarette and closed my eyes, hoping to sleep..

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗥 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗢 a sudden stop which woke me up in seconds, "Welcome to your casa, Marlena." Leo declared, taking the keys out of the ignition. I looked out the window to see the most amazing villa I'd ever set my eyes on, it had a lovely garden and was very modern. I knew there'd be a pool too which excited me even more, the two of us got out of the car and I could barely take my eyes off of the house. "I'll get your stuff out the car Marlie then you can go look around." Leo offered, I shook my head in refusal. "No Leo, I can get my own stuff." I refused softly. "Marlena, I'm literally your pa whilst you're here, I don't mind." Leo smiled to me. "Okay, thank you." I smiled back, taking a deep breath before I dared to step into the house.
"Your bedroom is upstairs and to the right...Shit, what have you got in here?" Leo told me before grunting, I turned to him going to help but he shook his head. So I decided to just face the consequences and go in.
