Mio Amato

Chapter two

Not more than an hour later, Amy came back from shopping with her friends and we left the mall. The whole car ride back Amy kept on talking about Giovanni and how she saw him at the mall looking 'hot as ever'. "I'm telling you Emily, he is one sexy man I need a piece of that Italian meat." Amy gushed. I refrained from telling her that I met him because I wanted to keep that memory to myself, I don't know why but her talking about Giovanni like that made me angry. "I heard some dumb bitch bumped into him today, I still can't believe it. People will do whatever it takes to talk to him." I flushed in anger how dare she call me a dumb bitch "you never know, it could've been a mistake" I defended myself "oh please, I know a gold digging bitch when I see one" "said the pit to the kettle" I muttered under my breath "what did you say?" she asked non committedly "I was just saying that maybe that could've been a mistake, after all you weren't there" she started laughing "oh and you?" "n-no, but we both never know, so we can't just assume" "huh whatever. I just can't wait to meet him, when I do he's going to wish he'd met me earlier" I decided to ignore her before I said anything id regret later on.

When we got back to our apartment I just felt like going to bed because I was too tired. "oh can you cook dinner, I'm really hungry" I nearly blew a fuse "why didn't you eat at the mall?" I gritted out "because I want to eat something healthy, I need to maintain this body if I'm going to be meeting Gio" that moment I weigh like 10 pounds more than her. FML. "ok what do you want me to make" the reason why I cook is because she can't cook and I'm the one that does all the cooking around here. "can you please make a vegetable stir fry and boiled chicken? You're the best" she says while opening the door. We were enveloped in a delightful aroma. "Hey Emi m in the kitchen!" my day went from a zero to hundred real quick. I dropped my books and ran to my best friend "JAKE! I can't believe you're here, when did you get back?" "about an hour ago I thought I'd come surprise you babe, I've missed you so much" Jake and I have been best friends since I started UCLA. We met in Philosophy and we hit it off from then on.

He's always been there for me since. "I've missed you too, you and I have a lot to catch up on, you have to tell me about your trip." "we should eat first, I made your favourite; seafood Paella. We have the whole night to talk about everything." Amy decided to intervene "uhuhm, you said you'd make me supper, get to it now." Before I could reply Jake intervened "I think you should eat what I made for all of us, shouldn't you now?" Amy started getting angry and she huffed in anger and stormed up to her room. Jake turned to me and shook his head sympathetically "Emmy babe, I seriously don't know why you put up with that. You deserve so much better" "well its life, not everyone can be as confident as you Jay" I mumbled while shrugging my shoulders. Jake decided not to push it because we have talked about it enough to last us a life time.

I hugged him once mire to thank him for cooking me dinner. I swear the world is conspiring against me to get me fat... but alas food is life. I really love Jake, he cooked me my favourite meal even though he's allergic to seafood, that's true love right there. I prepared Jake and I some food of course his Paella didn't have seafood in it. We ate for twenty minutes while catching up. "It was so much fun Emmy! I just wish you could of been there but I hooked up with this hot guy and it looked like we were getting somewhere and then I found out he had a girlfriend through his voicemail on his phone. I got so angry that I punched him and left. Not after taking $300 from him." I gasped "No you didn't, you bad, bad boy" I laughed "well it was used for a good cause I used it to buy drinks at the club the next night. You know this trip was exactly what I needed, I just wish you could've come with me then it would've been perfect" I wish I went too but it's too late for wishes and what nots "well, there's still plenty of trips we could go to together. I'm just glad you had an amazing time you deserve it after all you've been through" the happy vibes turned gloom as we both reminisced the past.

 Jake recently got out of a bad relationship that nearly ruined him do this trip was his getaway trip from his past. "I do don't I?" I nodded and smiled "you do babe" he suddenly smiled as if nothing happened "enough of that now! What have you been up to love?" I suddenly blushed after remembering what happened and unfortunately Jake saw it and his eyes lit up "oh! Do tell" "well hum, today I went shopping and I bumped into a man" I paused and he urged me on impatiently "well I literally bumped into him and he was so arrogant and rude! I couldn't believe it and guess who he was?" he waited for me to carry on "it was Giovanni Fra-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence as he shrieked "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR AND OPEN IT AGAIN! You're joking now aren't you, you're fucking with me. You met HIM the sexiest man ever! Did you get his number?" I rolled my eyes "of course not he was a jerk" "a hot jerk" he wiggled his eyes suggestively "I've seen better" I said nonchalantly "hmm whatever you say girl. I'm taking you out tomorrow and you can't say no" he said when he saw that I was about to protest I agreed reluctantly. I've never been to a club before so this ought to be interesting. I started yawning "I think we should call it a day Emmy before you swallow the whole house" I blushed "Shit up you bitch. Let's go sleep, it seems like tomorrow is going to be a long day" he agreed and led the way to my room.
