valentina's pov
i take a deep breath as i stand outside his house. it's currently pouring with rain which is rare for turin.
this is it, i thought.
i knock on the door and a few moments later the door opens. not revealing paulo but a small brunette who looks at me with a big smile on her face.
'hello.' she says in italian
'oh hi.' i say awkwardly, trying to remember some of the italian i tried learning.
'can i help you with something?' she asks politely.
'oh it's nothing, i think i got the wrong house. i'm sorry for disturbing you.' i say awkwardly.
'who are you looking for? i could perhaps help you?' she says.
'no it's quite alright, thank you. i should get going have a nice day.' i say quickly turning around and walking away.
'you have at least waited until the rain stopped!' she says after me but i don't turn around and just continue walking outside of his driveway.
once i've walked for about five minutes, in the pouring rain. i just stop and break down crying in the middle of the quiet empty road.
paulo's pov
'who was at the door?' i ask, sat down on the sofa playing on fifa.
'i don't know, she was a young woman. i think she was expecting to see you at the door or something but she left.' she says going into the kitchen.
'what did she look like?' i ask still focusing on my game.
'she was very pretty even though i couldn't tell with her coat. she had blue eyes and brown, i think, she was quite tall.' says antonella making me suddenly pause my game and turn around.
'did she have a slight accent?' i ask her.
'yes she did!' she says making me stand up.
'which way did she go?' i say as i go into the other room to put on my shoes and coat on.
'um, she turned right out of the driveway. do you know her paulo?' i ask.
'i'll tell you when i get back.' i say before quickly leaving. i put my hood up before running out of the driveway and turning right.
i can see her in the distance, sat in the middle of the road, as i run closer to her i call for her.
'tina!' i shout but she doesn't wear me, so i get a little closer.
'tina!' i shout as she turns around. once i get towards her i grab her hand and turn around to face me.
'leave me alone paulo.' she says sniffling.
'no, i am not losing you again.' i say holding onto her shoulders.
'oh really? try telling that to your girlfriend at your house!' she says angrily.
'you're an asshole paulo! you really used neymar's ex girlfriend bruna to get back at me. you were doing that on purpose because you knew he was still in love with bruna! i hate you!'
'you knew i wasn't sure about my feelings for you but still had to fuck it up if i was another guy. you blocked and removed my number paulo! i hate you.' she says crying and hitting my chest.
'i flew all the way from rosario to london to turin just to see you paulo but you've already moved one once again.' she says between sobs.
'tina.' i say looking at her.
'leave me alone paulo.' she says before walking away but i quickly grab her hand and pull her towards me before kissing her.
she doesn't even struggle once.
'still hate me now?' i say softly.
'listen to me tina. i know what i did was extremely immature, i was angry and jealous. seeing you with neymar honestly broke my heart into a million pieces, i thought i would never be able to love again. and the girl at my house, that's antonella, she's one of my best friends, not my girlfriend. i don't know what to say or what to do now to get you to forgive me, but i will do anything for you, i love you tina, i'm sorry.' i say.
i can't believe i just told her i loved her, it just seemed like the perfect moment, i'm just scared of what the reaction will be.
she doesn't say anything, but put her hand against my cheek and strokes it.
'kissing in the rain, how cliché.' she says laughing slightly.
i sigh in relief, that was a good reaction.
'come on, let's go home.' i say taking her hand.
'wait.' she says before kissing me once again.
'i love you too.'

'you look so hot in my clothes.' i say as tina walks in with my sweatpants on, my football jersey and a hoodie.
'probably because the person that owns them is pretty hot themselves.' she says with a wink, kissing my cheek and sitting next to me.
'i can't believe this is really happening.' i say with a smile.
it's been two hours and i haven't stopped smiling ever since. this is probably the happiest i've ever felt in a long time. the only two things i have to do now is love tina and never let her down.
we're currently watching a movie, my feet up against the coffee table while i carefully message tina's feet that are on my lap.
'me neither.' she says with a smile.
'i'm sorry, i can't do this.' i say moving her feet off my lap and going towards her.
'what?' she says in shock.
'you really expect me to just sit there and not make out with you?' i say.
'you didn't have to ask.' she says with a smirk, grabbing me by my t-shirt, pulling me closer to her and taking it off.
