With their fathers being business partners, and their families taking annual summer trips to Sicily together Micheal and Michelle were inseparable. That was, until Michael's family had to move away to sunny California. Leaving Michelle and their fri...
I woke up the next morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed last night. I sit up massaging my temples, still trying to process that it's the morning. A loud bang had entered my room, I look up to see that Michael had swung my door open. "Michael wtf are you doing? Why are you so energetic this morning? It's only 7 am" I say slightly annoyed "What are you talking about" he says coming to jump into my bed. "It's 12pm. Your the one sleeping the day away. Now come on, get up so you can buy me that gelato from Frugellios" he saying pulling on my arm forcing me out of bed. "Ughhhh" I moan not wanting to leave my warm, cozy bed. I decided to go limp in hopes to have more time in bed. "Come on limp ass" he says not caring at my motionless state. "Fine be that way" Michael says right before he drops me on the floor causing me to land right on my tail bone. "OUCH" I yell out to Michael as he ran away from my room. "Fine... I'll get up" I groan to my self. I make my way to the bathroom that's connected to my room and hop into the shower to wash my long-ish brown hair.
~after the shower~
I head over to my closet to pick out my out fit for today.
Today I went with... My new sunflower dress I just gotten for my birthday

I finished it off with some gold hoop earrings. and a bracelet or two and I was ready to go. I decided to just put some mascara on and a little bit of lip balm on today, and to let my hair dry in it's natural state.
I walk down stairs to see most everyone in the back yard hanging out by the pool. I slide open the back door looking for Michael to let him know I'm ready to go. I see him over by the jacuzzi talking with all three of my brothers as well as his one brother. He looks up at me and smiles, moving his eyes up and down I was a little confused as to what he was doing. I look around to see who he was looking at, but there was no one around me. I stand there blushing motioning him to come on so we can leave. He stands up saying his good byes to my brothers and jogs his way towards me. "New dress?" Michael asks while walking inside. "Yea, I uhh got it last night. Aunt Carla gave it to me. She said "now this is what will bring you a husband"" I say impersonating my aunts thick Italian accent. We laugh at my aunts comment about my being single while Michael goes and grabs couple water bottles from the fridge and tossing one over to me. I catch it with ease and slide it into my purse. I grab my wallet and start my way towards the door. "Where the hell are you going" Michael says rushing to my side. "To Frugellios, you were taking to long so I decided to get a head start" I say chuckling at him being offended. "What ever. Come on let's go" he says slightly punching my arm and walks out the door. Frugellios was a 15 minute walk from the villa so we decided to head there on foot.
~at Frugellios~
"Okay so what do you want?" I ask Michael, as I'm the one who has to order since I'm the only one who spoke Sicilian out of the two of us. "Let me get a large pistachio" he says rubbing his hands together "Eww... pistachio are you kidding me" I say laughing at his order "that's so gross" "Well fine if mine is so gross then what kind are you getting?" He says acting all defensive I roll my eyes and smile while answering "well for your information, I get the dark chocolate and sea salt" *cough "basic" *cough he replies "Oh whatever" I laugh back. "PROSSIMA" I turn to hear the lady calling us up to her. I order and pay for our gelato, and we head over to one of the many outside tables to enjoy it.
"I cant believe we're going home tomorrow! It always go by so fast." I exclaimed. Michael seemed a little off, I just assume it's because we're heading home tomorrow. "Yeah, I cant believe it either" he says back in a slightly sad voice. "Hey, is everything okay mike? What's up with you?" I say putting my hand on his. "Yeah, it's just... I'm not ready to go home yet. It not time yet. Ya know?" I nod slightly confused by his response. We sat in quiet for a couple minutes until I decided to speak up and ask "hey what time is it mike?" I don't have a phone yet so I'm not able to check the time for my self. "It is 2:00, do you want to start heading back? Were probably gonna get back in time for lunch. I heard your mom was gonna make that eggplant parmigiana you talk so much about." My eyes light up when he says my favorite thing my mom makes me. "Really!! Well come on Sanzone! That egg plants not gonna eat it's self" I say eager to get home now. "Pfft thats what she said" Michael says under his breath. I roll my eyes at his response. "how are you almost a year older than me and I'm still more mature than you" I say chuckling. "I have no idea, but I love that your more mature than me. Makes me feel young again haha" he says back.
~on the walk home~
"Hey Shell... I umm wanted to talk to you about something" Michael says nervously. "What's up Mike?" I respond. We pull off at a local park that's on the way home, and sit on one of the benches in front of the fountain. I look up at Michael to see his head down and him playing with his fingers. Unsure of when he was going to say something, I started "Michael I don't know what's going on with you, but your making me nervou..." I was cut off by Michaels lips smashing into mine.
