German after this party also decided to have a little party in his house.

He told Ramallo and Bertuccio to take care of everything and tell him whenever they're ready.

He wanted to make this as soon as possible.

Why?

He didn't know fully himself, but he wanted to show some things to everybody, including the fact that he isn't that alone here after all.

----- TIME SKIP -----

In the morning he was reading the news in the salon area when Selvaggia came in as well, greeting him with a kiss on the cheek.

- Good morning - she said as she sat in front of him.

- Good morning - he smiled at her - Did you sleep well? I hope I wasn't too loud when I arrived him last night.

- No... I actually didn't hear you coming home.

- That's good then.

- Anyway... How did it go?

- Pretty good, I think - he sighed as he put the news paper down - I also got some news that might be useful for us...

- Oh really?

- Yes and I'll tell you about that later. But now... Would you help me out today? I have some business to take care about... And you speak better italian than I do - he said jokingly.

- What? You're kidding me?! You have been talking better than I do and I'm the one from Italy! - she laughed.

- Maybe - he laughed too - But I still need your help.

- Okay, I'll help you - she smiled - You know I'd help you in anything...

- Yeah... And I'm really grateful for that - he said as he kissed her hand - Anyway... Did you have breakfast?

- Not yet.

- Then how about we eat together?

- That sounds lovely! Atleast you can now tell me more about this woman you came after for as well! - said Selvaggia the way German didn't know if he dares to say no to.

- Uh... I didn't actually come after her, you know...

- Not ONLY after her.

- Yes... And I really hope you don't think I only have you here because of her because it's not true.

Selvaggia grew quiet as they way her friend was talking surprised her.

Meanwhile German stood up and went to sit right beside her...

- Don't think you don't mean anything to me because you do... More than you'd think... - he said while he was looking into her eyes - You're one of those people I'll always call "my friend" and always be there for... So if you're not into doing this tell me anytime and you won't d---

- Who said I don't want to do it? - she mumbled - Yes, I do feel like I'm nothing to you sometimes... But I'm your friend and I promised to help you and I will! These people need to get what they deserve!

German couldn't help smiling as she said that then he pulled her into a tight hug.

- I love you so much, you know that? - he said while hugging her tightly.

- I love you too... But be a bit more gentle on me! - she laughed which made him laugh too.

- Sorry - he said as he let her go - I just had to...

- Who told you that you can let go of me?! - she snapped as she hugged me this time.

- My bad - he laughed while hugging her again.
