Mi Náufrago

As Time Goes On

Piero's POV:

Today the love of my life would be parting home. At the moment we were in the middle of the airport, waiting for Maria and Perla to get out from the restroom.

"You really don't have to stay until I leave. I hate goodbyes." Luna told me as she took out her plane ticket.

"But I want to. I want to see you get safely to your plane. And this isn't a goodbye, this is a see you soon. I told you I would go to Miami as soon as I can." I told her.

"Don't be too overprotective, I can take care of myself." She laughed and so did I. "And it's okay. I know you'll go soon, I'll Skype with you once I get home okay?"

"That's perfect. And don't mind the time change, I'll stay up just for you." I told her once more and she only shook her head.

"Come on Luna! Our plane just got called." Perla shouted and I looked over.

"About time she got out from there." Maxim said and we all started laughing.

"Well then, amore mio I'll let you go, but you know I wouldn't do such thing. Please take care and let me know you got home safe." I told Luna and she smiled and nodded.

"I will. Thank you by the way." She said.

"For what?" I asked confused.

"For everything, from having the best days of my life to the greatest times of our lives." She said and laid a quick kiss on my cheek.

I only widen my eyes at the sudden act and once we locked eye contact, I quickly sent her a smile. "There's so many to come, so don't thank me yet."

She nodded and smiled at the same time. I gently took her hands and kissed the top of them. "Be careful bella."

"I will." She replied.

"Come on!" Perla's voice echoed through the airport.

"Til later my love." I lastly said before I placed a quick kiss on her forehead before she left.

She smiled and grabbed her luggage to catch up to Perla. I noticed how she slowly disappeared through the sea of people in the airport going to the same gate as she was.

"We should get going Piero." Francis said. Everytime he said that to me, made me feel better. It was as if he reassured me that life has to go on, than just stay in one place and wait for something to happen.

"Let's go." I said as I smiled and turned around to catch up with the rest of the Barone siblings.

*1 month later; 2 days before school starts*

Luna's POV:

"You what?" I said disappointed at the news.

"Yes little sister. I'm moving out. I told you I wanted to take a year off from school so that's what I'm going to do this year. Plus you know mom needs help with that new floral shop she just opened. I could help her out with the deliveries or whatever she needs help with." My bother said.

"But..."

"It's my decision and I took it when you were over in Italy. Sis..." he placed his big hands in my shoulders and said, "... look think of it as a good thing. I don't know, you can tell your friend Perla to come move with you so you guys can actually be roommates."

"That's something my head didn't came across with." I managed to say after a while.

"See?" He told me and then hugged me tightly. "Now I must go. I can't miss my flight back home nor I can let more time run then I'll be stuck in traffic. Luna... be careful and stay in school. I'll call you once I get home okay? I know you'll be alright without me."
