Selfies with Luke Brooks

Passerotto Mio

"Luke," I shouted from the kitchen. I was holding the phone with one hand and a pizza menu in the other. "What topping should I get?" Luke leapt up from the sofa and grabbed the menu from my hand. "Pepperoni."

Luke said after browsing the menu for a minute. "Ew no" I replied. "Why not?" "Because that's dumb." "Why'd you ask then?" "Because I thought you'd be smart and say meat feast but I guess you're not.." I drifted off teasingly.

"Lace. Pepperoni is the best pizza topping." Luke smirked. "Um no. Meat feast." "Pepperoni." "Meat feast." I suddenly heard a voice coming from the phone. I had forgotten that I'd dialled the number of the pizza place. "Ciao. Chi è questo?" "Uhh. I. Um."

I didn't realise they'd be Italian, the menu was in English. Luke must have heard the voice because he took the phone from me and said "Un pepperoni pizza per favore." He continued to tell them my address and eventually put the phone down. "What?"

He said when he saw I was gawping at him. I blushed and ignored the fact that he looked extremely attractive when he spoke Italian. I raised an eyebrow at him. " You speak Italian?" I asked, still shocked. " What gave you that idea Lace?" He teased as he smiled at me and put down the phone and menu. He walked back over to the couch and sat back down. " Shut up." I smiled back.

" I'm half Italian" He replied, referring to my previous question. " Oh my gosh, cool. Say something else in Italian." I said joining him on the sofa, careful not to sit too close in case I set off the butterflies in the pit of my stomach.

" Lace, I just said loads."

" I want more though." I pouted.

" Thats what they all say." He winked and smirked. " Okay, fine." he said after he saw my unamused expression.

" Um, passerotto mio, dammi la tua mano e corriamo uniti per tutta la vita."

"Thats beautiful. What does it mean?" I asked after being in awe of it.

"Um." He blushed. "Um. I. Um. I don't know. Just forget about it." He smiled a little. I frowned, I knew he was lying. I was about to say something when he interrupted my thoughts.

"Anyway. Looking forward to the pepperoni pizza?" He grinned, I could tell he was trying to change the subject but he was still blushing a little.

"Oh my gosh. You ordered pepperoni? I hate you." I laughed a bit and joke hit him.

Three hours passed and Luke had to go, I discovered I didn't mind pepperoni that much. Maybe it was just the company distracting me from the taste. It was the perfect night. So much for acting distant. Well done, Lacey. One thing I was still confused about though. What had Luke said? I remembered bits and pieces of it so I got out my laptop and opened it to a search engine and typed it in.

After fifteen minutes I found a result. And when I did, it was like my heart had decided to go into cardiac arrest. It said:

"My little bird, give me your hand. And we will run together, our whole lives."
