After my little lunch date, I went straight to Rose and told her everything. Even about my awful Italian to the waitress. She laughed at Romeos playing and with me.

As our laughs died down, I had a sudden urge to ask her about when she caught us together in bed after that night when we went for dinner.
"Rose... can I ask you something?"
"Hit me!"
"You know the night after me and Romeo left fr dinner"
"Oh god what?"

It was nothing bad. I didn't mean to scare her.
"No no. I just wanted to ask you something. Well I woke up to you and him shouting and you sounded mad. Like you'd found him in bed with a girlfriend or something. Is that it?"

As soon as I finished my sentence she turned to me quite a shocked, taken aback look.
"You really want to know?"
"Yeah. I don't care. Tell me everything!"

Rose took a deep breath and sat next to me.
"His ex. My ex best friend. I uhh caught them. In her bed. It was her birthday and I was going to surprise her with a huge party because she loved social events like that. But instead, I came to find them together. On top of eachother."

"Oh I'm so sorry. That's awful!"
"I had to except that they were together and apparently it had been on for ages and 'they "couldn't find the right time to tell me' or whatever. To be honest if they had told me I would have been so happy for them but because they had betrayed me I felt hurt. I did let them be together and happy for a good 5 months but then the girl came to me and told me that he had cheated-"

I gasped. Once a cheater, always a cheater. I didn't want to get involved with that.
"Oh. The poor girl!"
"Yeah. After that she stopped talking to the both of us. I haven't spoke to her in ages now. And I'm not planning to."
"Of course! I feel so bad for her. Cheaters are never worth it!"

Romeo walked in right after I had said that. The room fell silent. Romeo felt the tension and just asked if we wanted food. Both of us shook our head.

"I'm planning to order something. Maybe a small pizza... i don't know yet." I muttered.
"Oh I can order that. Where from?" Romeo chirped happily. I looked towards Rose eyeing for help.

"Oh. No Chiara wanted to pay. New bank account and all." She smiled. I looked at her and gave her a look to say she saved me.
"Oh yeah forgot Leonardo did that."he whisked off before winking to me.

"Oh my god, Rose! When were you going to tell me I had a new bank account!?" I whispered in case Romeo could overhear me.
"Now. You're Dad opened up a bank account for you!"

We laughed in unison and as we slowly quietened Rose practically shouted, "Well, let's get this food then!"
I shot up and wandered to the phone. I called up a local pizza place and held the phone out to Rose. I forgot that I couldn't speak Italian and ask for a meaty pizza. Rose took over and ordered for us. When it got to the paying part I took over.

That was the pizza ordered.

Our girly chat continued and we got into the conversation of celebrity crushes. I found out that Rose has the biggest crush on Johnny Depp. Being girls, I asked her all the questions and why she liked him. She was really obsessed with him. You could tell by the way she talked about him.

"What about you Chiaraaaaa?"
I laughed to myself because I knew it was really basic. "Cmon! Tell me. I told you mine!"
"Ok ok! I'll tell you. Mr Leo DiCaprio" I said, getting quieter as I continued my sentence.

Romeo walked in again. "Ooh DiCaprio. Nice pick. Personally, I love Kylie Jenner."
"Oh my god Romeo. Get out. This is girl talk"
I threw a pillow at him.
"Oh my god Chiaraaaaa! You're pizzas here." He said as his voice went from mocking to monotonous.

"Oh thanks. Do you mind bringing it up?" I asked in a pleading voice. To my surprise he already had it behind his back. I was quite taken aback but then I remembered the story Rose was telling me. His cheating.

My mood immediately changed and he noticed. "Hey Chi, do ya mind helping me downstairs quickly? You're Dad asked me to do something but I can't do it alone."
"Yeah sure." I tried to sound casual. Just because I couldn't be with him doesn't mean I can't be around him.

When I got downstairs, Romeo leant against the door frame. I awkward stood in the middle of the kitchen. I dazed out into the gorgeous fields surrounding the house. I became lost in thought whilst staring into the sun.

"You're off?" He pulled me out of my trance.
"What?"
"You're off. What's up, Bella?"
"Oh...uh um? Nothing. Why?" I felt quite embarrassed. Why did he have to be there when something was wrong. He's the issue here, sort of?

He cupped my cheek and turned my head towards him.
"There is something wrong. What is it?"
"Nothing. God. Just leave me alone. Whatever."

I walked off rolling my eyes at him. He was annoying me. He was being so sweet but I can't be with him. I don't want a cheater. I'm better than that. If he wants to cheat, he can. Just not on or with me.

As I went back to my room, Rose had set everything up. Pizza on the bed. Drinks. Netflix. Everything. It was great.

"Girls night?"

"Oh- of course!"

I was always up for girls night.
