Chapter 8- Stranger- RomanoXReader

You walked out of the building and called over a gondole. You looked out at the other buildings in beautiful Venice, Italy. The were old, maybe, but it was still very beautiful. Then, a gondole pulled up beside you.

"Hop on in!" The gondolier yelled, pointing to the seat. You nodded and hopped in. "Where do you want to go? I can take you wherever."

"I hope you don't mind me asking, but can you take me around the city? I'm just sight-seeing today, Mr...-?" I ask, gesturing him to tell me his name.

"Lovino Vargas." He finishes, smiling. "Normally I would cuss out anyone who asked me to take them sight seeing, but, I wouldn't ever do that to a pretty thing like yourself. Tell you what, its free of charge too. How does that sound?"

You turn, looking at him, astounded. "I couldn't possibly ask you to do that!"

"Its on me." He asked, starting to move the boat. You smiled and look at him kindly.

"Thank you, Mr. Vargas." You say kindly.

"Call me Lovino; and what would your name happen to be?" He asked.

"________." You reply.

"How lovely. The name suits you well." He states, looking at the riverways ahead.

"Thank you, Lovino. Your quite sweet." You crow, looking around.

"Like my brother would say, 'I'm Italian! Of course I am!'" He answered. You giggle, smiling.

"Do you keep in touch with your brother?" You question.

"I did, until he started hanging out with the quiet one and that fat potato eater!" He squeaked, angrily.

"I'm sorry. I wish I had a brother or sister. You should be grateful for what you have, because someone who doesn't could want one really bad." You state.

"WHY YOU?!" He yelled. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT I- Ah, you're right!" He calmed down. You stared at him, a little scared of what kind of button you had just pushed. "I'm sorry, ______. I shouldn't have lost my temper." You curl up in a ball and look out. He stops the Gondole and hops down to your side.

"Hey, look at me. I really am sorry. It just makes me angry that my stupid fratello wants to be around those people!" He sighs, looking at you sadly.

You smile and nod. "Its okay, Lovino. It would anger me as well. The only thing you can do now is find someone of your own to be with."

His eyes widen and then he squints. "You don't happen to know Antonio, do you?" You chuckle and shake your head. "Good, because I got enough of him when I was a kid. His house was so big! And he never showed me where anything was!"

You laugh and pull your hair back behind your ear. "So anyways, if you find someone to talk to then you might get along with your brother a little better." He looks down at his thumbs. You put your hand on his shoulder and he shoots his head straight up at you. You look into his brown eyes for a while, and he stares into yours.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have really pretty eyes?" He asked, cupping your face with one of his warm hands. It sends shivers down your spine, and your hands begin to shake.

"Uh, n-n-no. At least I don't think-k-k so." You stammer, beggining to blush like crazy. He smiles, kissing the top of your forhead.

"Hey, its my brother, Lovino! Hey! Who's that lady you have with you?!" A man yells from behind. Lovino turns his head, cursing under his breath.

"Excuse me. My fratello is calling me." He whispered, standing up. He walked over to the man and sighed. "Feliciano! I'm kind of in the middle of something here!" You here him say.

"Who's that lady? Have you showed her how your muscles yet? All the chicks dig it! Have you gotten her into your bed yet?" Filiciano asks.You try to stifle your laughter.

"Like you need to know! No, and no!" Lovino grabs his neck and shakes it back and forth. "You idiot! At least I can get a girl! All you have is that fat potato eater!"

You rush over, splitting the two apart. "Stop it, you two!" You scream. You turn to Feliciano and smile. "I know you don't get to talk to your vrother often, but could you give us some privacy?" You ask kindly.

He nods and smirks. "Okay! By the way, my brother is slow to respond in the bed, so I suggest you not go that far unless you want to be let down. Bye now, bambina!" He waves, skipping away.

"How would he know?" You ask, turning back to Lovino. "Sorry about that." You sigh, smiling.

"No, I'm sorry my brother's an idiot!" He squeaks. He recups your face and smiles. "How about we get out of here and go somewhere a bit more closed off, hm?"

You nod and take his hand. "I would love that. Show me the way." You began to realize something:

You were beggining to fall in love with a near stranger.
