Romeo and Julian

'Am I crazy or falling in love? Is it real or just another crush.'

" spegnerlo." (turn it off),"please." I reach for my phone to see whose calling at 8AM. It's Lila. I answer, and the first thing I ask is why. I told her to hold on while I moved to a quieter place. I tried moving, but Romeo arms were keeping me in place. "No, where are you going?" He pulled me even closer to him. He said sluggishly. I held in a chuckle.

" Let me go pee." He removes his arm from around me, and I rush into the bathroom and lock the door. " Okay, you're calling me this late. What's happening?"

" Wow, how was your night? Sounds like someone took a ride."

" Lila, you and your corny jokes have got to stop." I laugh, it's so dumb, but that's what makes it funny. I sit on the toilet to stop my kegs from giving out.

" So you know my boss,"

"Yes...?"

" Well, we've been hooking up for the past 3 months, and now he wants something more." She says all in one breath. " he also asked me out on a date, but I kind of jokingly said he had to have yours and Milo's permission. But only because you guys are so protective."

" What did Milo say." I nervously ask, feeling a bit of sadness when I say his name.

" The same thing you just said. Funny right." The last part drips with sarcasm.

" How about we go out on a triple date when I get back." I suggested.

" Yes! I'm so scared that it's going to make things awkward." I hear her awkward laugh through my phone.

" Girl, I'm going back to sleep, and so should you."

" Goodnight, love you."

" Love you too,"

I hung up and flushed the toilet and let the sink run for a minute before leaving the bathroom. I limp back to bed and lay in my space that's now cold. I pull the cover on me and go back to slee-

"What took you so long? I thought you said you had to pee?"

" I did, and now I wanna sleep."

" 30 minutes to pee is too long."
I'm not responding to him. I just need to respond to this bed that's calling me.

" What is that poking me?"

"Hey, let's do it again." I really want to do it again to but my sleep.

" I wanna sleep."

" You can sleep after, I promise. "

And that's how I ended up getting a hot stone massage.

Julian is fast asleep. After another round. When I kissed him last night, I just knew I had to do it again and again. It was like something took over me, and now I'm watching him sleep. I slap both sides of my face and snap myself out of it. He's cute and dumb and annoying, but he's also caring and sweet. I've been feeling this way ever since he helped my sister with her breakup. I get up from beside him and hit the showers. I put on fresh clothes and cologne and go downstairs to get some breakfast.

When I get to the kitchen, breakfast is already made with coffee. I sip it slowly while taking slow bites of my food.

"suppongo che tu abbia avuto una buonanotte e un buongiorno" (I guess you had a good night and a good morning.)

"mamma fermati, non ne voglio parlare." (Mom, stop, I don't want to talk about it.) I whine. Mamma just sits across from me, drinking her tea and watching me as I eat.
" Why are you staring at me like that, mamma?" I get up from sitting to put my dish in there. Sadly, I can never escape her gaze. " What mamma?"

"lo ami davvero" (You really love him.)

"Yes -"

" Just so you know, those cameras don't work. Just want you to be serious with someone. Don't take love as a joke. He's a keeper." Mamma says. " Also, I know the relationship is still in the early stages, but I can feel your two souls trying to be together, but something blocking you two. Give him a real chance, and you'll be head over heels, if you're not already. Remember, mother knows best." She kisses me on my cheek and leaves me alone with my thoughts. She scared me for a second. I almost thought she knew that it was fake.

I decided not to think too much of it and go back to the room.

When I wake up, Romeo is not here, and it makes me a little sad. So I get up and take a shower, by the time I'm done Romeo is back in the room putting new sheets on the bed.

" Breakfast is downstairs if you're hungry." I smile and start walking toward the door. " You don't want to wear clothes." I look down at myself and see that I only have underwear's on. I take another look and see bite marks and hickeys all over my chest.

"I forgot." I put on one of the random outfits, which ended up being sweats and a t-shirt. I grab my phone and my earbuds and leave the room for breakfast.

6pm and all of Romeos' families started showing up. Rosalee is here along with Raul. And his nana and some cousins. So in total, 20 people showed up for this dinner.

While the food is getting the final touches, I find myself alone in the backyard with Rome. So I did what any other person would do and talked to him. He looked my way, and his Icy blue eyes pierced through me. Now, he was walking up to me instead of the other way around.

He smelled like vanilla lavender. It's one of my favorite scents. His dyed platinum hair with his tan skin and his sharp round almond eyes. Gosh, I might be a cheater.

" I noticed you yesterday, but you seemed busy. My name is Rome."

" I've been wanting to talk to you, so sorry about the staring." I look around because I just suddenly got a chill.

He leads me into a garden where we can sit and chat. " So what brings you here, besides Romeo." He laughs gently. This makes me blush hard. I can't control how shy I'm getting. No, no, don't make me feel these things ever.

" I wanted to meet mamma Rossi and just here with my fiancé. " I flash him the ring on my finger that Romeo had gotten yesterday evening. We ended up talking for 30 minutes straight. Just conversation filled with laughter and warmth.

" I bet people say this all the time, but your eyes are so beautiful, not just the color but the shape to." He lets out another small chuckle, and I relax my shoulders.

" Can I tell you a secret." He inquiries. I nod my head slowly and lean in so he can whisper in my ear.

"Julian, it's time fo-" Rosalee looks between me and Rome like she's trying to decipher us. " I didn't see anything, and I'm not saying anything." She turns away and looks back at us. " Why are you still in that position. It looks like you're about to kiss."

" About to kiss? What are you talking about, rosie?" Raul comes from within the shadows and sees how close our faces are. " Oh. Oh!" He says it with a smirk.

" Dinner ready, let's go eat."
