It had become the last day that we're staying in Italy, the week we were there had past by in a blink of in eye. We were packing our things before the flight was going take off, and we're saying goodbye to everyone. I had hugged and kissed my family and told Elio to send me a letter about how Japan is going to be, and told him that him and kairi were going to the same place and how they should meet up. Of course he agreed since he loved having kairi around.

I walked toward our cars with one hand holding my suitcase and the other holding Adela's hand. She was sad that we were leaving so soon but happy to see my friends, especially Ale. She had told me earlier that she wanted to tell him that she was no longer going with him to Paris and that she was going to break things off with him nicely, I just smiled nodded when she said so.

The car ride seemed forever, and the pit stops at gas stations where we stretched at were just making the ride even longer. Finally we got to the plane and off we went back home, Adela was playing cards with my brother and I, and would beat us most of the time. Sometimes we would talk about the first thing we're going to do when we get home, especially her and her crazy ideas she wanted to sneak out to the city at night just to look at the buildings.

"I don't see why not", I said as she said that she wanted to go on the tallest building and see the stars.

"Great, you can take us when we get back won't you?", she asked me.

"Anything for you", I said as I kissed her hand.

"Grand, it will be blast",she was excited and began to talk about other things.

Her skin had became more tan, and her freckles had popped up all of sudden from her nose to her cheeks. Her hair became darker and she was just a beautiful bronzed goddess, I couldn't help but lose my train of thought every time I looked at her.

She coughed a small cough and I snapped back to reality.

"Only a couple of more minutes til we land!", she was so happy to be on our way home.

Finally we had landed and she ran to the car, and was ready to go.

"ADELA YOUR LUGGAGE!!", her mother had yelled, but it was already too late because one of my fathers men had grabbed it for her.

"I'm sorry, that is very unladylike", Adela's mother had apologized to my parents, who just laughed it off.

I opened her car door, and she smiled.

"Are you coming with me to my house right now?", she asked.

"No baby, I'm going home right now, I'll pick you up tonight though, okay?", I asked.

"Okay, I love you, see you soon bambino", she said and kissed my cheek and I closed her door and walked over to my car.

"Mattia, I see you and Adela became friends over the trip", my mother smirked.

"You noticed?", I asked.

"I saw the kiss, and I heard you bringing her back home from Elio's party the other nights", she said.

"Yeah, I really like her actually, she's a great girl", I said.

She winked and hugged me.

"I knew it was just a matter of time before you would fall for her, she's stunning and very unique lady", she said.

I smiled and nodded and got inside the car, on our way home.

When we had gotten to our house and I've never felt more at home than this moment, I ran up to my room and saw balloons and a flyer, that said welcome home mattia,
And seconds later I hear, "WELCOME HOME!".

I looked and saw Alejandro and Kairi, they always do this to me whenever I get back from a vacation.

"Hey guys!", I said, happy to see my friends.

We all hugged and sat and talked about how the parties my cousin threw and how the beach was, they were shocked how I didn't sleep with Cynthia and how I didn't talk about her much. All of sudden Ale had a brought up a question I wasn't sure I wanted to answer.

"How was it this time with my girl? You guys didn't do anything did you?", Ale had asked jokingly.

I felt guilty inside and felt like I was an awful friend for sleeping with his girl almost every night there, but she had said that she was going to tell him, and I knew he would be beyond pissed.

"Ale, can we talk about something else please", I said.

"You slept with her didn't you?", he asked.

I stared at him and kept quiet.

"Stop Alejandro, Mattia wouldn't do that to you now, right Mattia?", kairi had asked.

"Right Mattia?",kairi asked once more.

"That's what I fucking thought, you want anymore of my leftovers I think I have some in my fridge", Ale had snapped at me.

"Don't fucking talk about her like that, Ale", I raised my voice.

"Mattia, that's a dick move, you know Ale actually liked her", kairi had pitched in the argument.

"I couldn't tell after all those girls he fucked over before", I said.

"Oh go fuck yourself, you're not innocent either, so don't you dare turn this on me", Ale walked closer to the door.

"Of course you're leaving, because you're too pussy to do anything!", I yelled.

"No, because I have better things to do than to fight with a guy who fucked their best friends girl", he opened the door and looked a kairi to see if he was going to follow him.

"She doesn't even like you Ale", I spat.

"Oh really, did she sneak over to your house and brought a blanket in the backyard, talked about how nice it was to be with her?", he asked, "because if so then welcome to the club, dickhead".

He walked out the door.

"Not cool Mattia, and we had just gotten here too", kairi said after Ale left, he walked out as well.

I close my door and popped all the stupid balloons and took down the dumb flyer. I was so angry how Ale spoke about Adela, and how Adela did the same things with Ale and with me. What else was she lying about?

I called Adela and wanted to see what she had to say about herself.

"Hey baby! I missed you already", she said.

"How'd you know I'd call?", I asked.

"Because you love me", she giggled and followed by a cough.

"All those things we did before we went to Italy, did you do that with Ale?", I asked immediately.

"That's random, but no not really, I just went over one night to his backyard and talked, but I didn't give him head or even kissed him", she said, "I mean it was before I actually realized I love you Mattia".

"Are you sure Adela?", I asked. I

I began to doubt her, was this really the girl I'm in love with, fighting with my best friends because of her?

"Hey amor, we can talk about this tonight okay, pick me up at 12", she said and hung up.
