With food in hand, Claudia arrived to the house.
Laura was already here, so she had brought her a lasagne, it was Laura's all time favourite meal and of course a pizza for Mattia. Sadly, Claudia couldn't eat the Italian cuisine so she was simply going to go without.

Alejandro's mother opened the door with a warm smile and directed her to the basement, where shouting could be heard from the front door. The mother and the girl gave each other a knowing look: they were playing Fifa.

Her best friend was the first to greet her, giving her a big squeeze, feeling like she hadn't seen her in so long. She sat besides her, laying the pizza on the floor, the three boys had their eyes glued on to the small animated characters, currently it was Mattia VS. Kairi. The look of concentration made her boyfriend look adorable, with his eyes wide and nervously biting his lip, she couldn't help but stare at his beauty.

The game finished whilst the best friends caught up with each other, Mattia had won, and came over pulling his girl into a hug and sat down with her in his lap. Even though it had only probably been about twenty-four hours since they had last seen each other but God did Mattia miss her so much already. Laura was enticed into playing a game against Kairi, leaving the couple alone.

"I think me and you should go on a proper date, no fast food shit, somewhere proper, somewhere nice. You know start the relationship off with a bang."

"Where are you thinking?" She asked, playing with his hands.

"Just wear a dress and bring you're beautiful self, leave the rest to me."

"Does that mean we can go shopping?" Laura beamed, listening in on the conversation.

"No, I have plenty of dresses Laur."

This would be Claudia's first big fancy date, her mind raced with what dress she could wear, how she could have her hair, how long would she need to get ready. Her heart pounded with excitement and she couldn't think of a better boy to be her first everything. He made her stomach erupt fireworks when they kissed, he made her heart warm with the effort he showed her, even in front of his friends he wasn't afraid to show who was his girl and the affection he felt she deserved. He was perfect.

Mattia held the girl close all night, he was afraid to let go, he wanted to just be with her, he felt that she was safe in his arms and even though no harm would come to her it just felt right. They spent their time screaming and laughing, playing games like Fifa and Call of Duty, then watching all sorts of movies. It was at least 2am when the girls decided they'd travel back to Claudia's home, Laura adamant she was going to be of assistance for her best friend's date tomorrow.
