Loving you

Lorenzo

The last few days have been really strange. I've been spending less time with Ella and Luca and  little bit more time with Annie and Gianni. Ella and Luca have been nice but there's some real tension between us. School has been getting more awkward the longer it goes on. The three of us just talk pointless small talk and we haven't been spending more time than we need to with each other.

Today is the day that Enzo, Guillietta's dad is coming to stay for the weekend. My moms asleep upstairs so I've been quiet cleaning up around the downstairs all morning. Enzo will be arriving in about 1 hour so it gives me enough time to have a shower, feed Gigi, change her and for me to get ready.

When I'm in the shower I here my phone ping, then it starts ringing letting me know someone's calling me then it pings again. I rub my hair to make sure all the conditioner is out and get out the shower wrapping a light peachy coloured towel around my body. I quickly towel dry my dripping wet hair a little bit and then grab my phone stepping out to my room. Enzo. Enzo. Enzo. All my unread messages and missed calls from Enzo. Just as I check on Gigi who is still asleep on the bed there's a knock on the door downstairs. I go downstairs still in my towel expecting to see Enzo but when I open it I see Gianni. "Hi. Come on." I smile opening the door wider giving him some space to come in.
"Hey I was just dropping by to see how you were. We haven't really spoke to much and I remembered Lorenzo was coming today." He Explains standing with me at the bottom of the stairs.
"Thank you, for being such a good friend. I'm actually just getting ready now for when Enzo gets here in about 30 minutes. Why don't you come upstairs and sit with me and Gigi while I do my hair!" I ask turning to walk upstairs.
He doesn't answer but when I hear him begin to walk upstairs I know he's following me.
When I go up Gigi is awake and moving her little hands and feet. I grab some flowy trousers with elephants on the side and a plain black vest top. "I'll be 5 minutes I'm just going to get changed... You can pick her up." I laugh walking out the room and into the bathroom.
I open up the bedroom door and see Gianni lying down on my bed with Gigi on his chest. " I see the pair of yous are comfortable. Aren't you?" I ask looking over.
"Of course we just had to relax before her dad comes." He smiles. I sit down on the other side of my bed with my brush and two small hair bands. As I brush through my hair I'm watching Gianni and Gigi and it's really nice to see them together. "So have you been speaking to Luca and Ella more recently?" Asks Gianni moving his gaze from Gigi to me.
"I mean if you include small talk. I'm not putting all the blame on them but it's really awkward and If they just spoke to me about it I would be completely honest with them. I've tried brining it up and just get shut down." I explain beginning to braid the hair at the to of my head.
"Yeah I bet it's still awkward. Maybe next time you come round we can all talk. They just need to get used to the idea." He smiles. I finish the braid that has fallen down the left side and begin with the right one.
"Yeah, time. That's what Annie says... I just guess everyone I've told they've taken it reasonably well so I'm just a bit in shock they haven't." I explain. The difference between the way Luca and Ella took it compared to Gianni and Annie is completely different. Just as a finish tying the hair band there's a knock at the door downstairs.
"I better go get that. I'll be back up soon, you keep her" i say standing up and almost running down to get the door for Enzo.
I open it fully and see him standing there. His tanned skin more tanned than I remember, dark hair lighter with the more sun. A big smile across his face. "Enzo!" I almost shout swinging my arms around him. Even though we haven't been together for a while this is the most happy i have been to see someone since Gigi was born.
"Hey, how are you," He asks moving one of his hands up to my neck and giving is a squeeze.
"Great. I'm doing really great. Sorry come in." I say opening the door and helping him with his bags. We sit down in the living room and i know he's looking for Gigi. "I'll go get her." I express standing up and walking to the stairs.
I firstly check in on my mom who is still asleep which I guess is good, since there's been quite a lot going on. Then I open my door and see Gianni and Gigi in the same position but Gigi had a blanket over her which only covers a tiny bit of Gianni. I lean over the bed and pick her up and she immediately gets fussy and I know it's because she needs fed. I readjust my top and she latches almost straight away. I get the blanket from across Gianni and drape it over my shoulder, covering Gianni with another blanket and go back downstairs.
"I'm just feeding her. I meant to do it before you came but she was really settled." I explain sitting down on the couch bedside Enzo close enough for him to see Gigi. "She's really great. Changing every day it's crazy." I smile. He's still so silent and when I look at him he just looks in complete awe.
"I've missed her so much, and you." He Explains pulling me into a hug.
We sit there mostly in silence just the odd noise from Gigi suckling. It's nice just being so at piece for some time. Then I feel it slowly start to break apart. Gigi gets fussy because now she'll have trapped gas, which makes me and Enzo move and I hear someone move about upstairs. It's either my mom or Gianni but Enzo doesn't know anyone else is here. "Jasmine, there's someone upstairs" He Explains getting ready to go upstairs when Gianni literally bounces downstairs almost falling at the end, clumsy boy. When he notices us sitting there he fixes his shirt and walks between us and the door. "Hey, Lorenzo I expect... I folded the blanket and everything's neat and tidy. I'll text you later, Jas. Nice to see you Lorenzo." He almost Jumps out the door. I've never seen him act this way. Jumpy and jittery it's strange.
I look to Enzo and the look on his face his shock. "Who on earth was that?" He asks moving back a little.
