Issues

29

Lorenzo woke me up before he left to say bye to me, and after that, I couldn't go back to bed.

I'm currently sitting in the dining area eating a bowl of cereal.

Last night.

Lorenzo said he would like to get serious with me.

Lorenzo wants to be my boyfriend.

I don't know. My mind is confused, and I know it shouldn't be confused. I should have the answer but I don't.

I want to say yes, but I don't know. I wish I could talk to someone. Ava doesn't answer any of my texts and my calls. And I'm afraid of even heading over to her place.

I don't want to tell Sam anything. I grab my phone and dial Domenico's number.

Yes, Domenico.

I took it out of Lorenzo's phone. He didn't have a problem. I wait as my phone rings to reach his phone. "Hello?" He says.

"Hey Dom, Tom." I say.

He chuckles at his nickname. "What's up princess? Your calling this early?" He asks.

"Oh sorry, were you busy?" I question.

"No. Just working out." He says.

"I wanted to talk to you." I start, "but you can't tell Lorenzo I called you." I say right after.

"Hmm." He hums. "Right, alright, sure. What's wrong, princess?" Domenico asks.

"Last night Lorenzo stayed over." I say.

"Are you pregnant!" He screams on the other side.

"Fuck no! Hell no! No!" I yell at him.

He dramatically sighs out in relief. "Oh thank god I'm not ready to be an uncle." He says.

"aren't you already an uncle?" I ask. Lorenzo's siblings, since Lorenzo and Domenico are best friends it makes logical sense.

"Oh yeah." He says after realizing.

"Anyway. Last night Lorenzo stayed over... and he started talking about getting serious with me." I mumble.

"Oh wow. You better have said yes," Domenico snaps at me.

"Well, I didn't." I mutter around.

"Amora." Domenico says.

"I don't know what I want. I think I'm afraid of commitment." I say to him, finishing up my bowl of cereal.

"So is Lorenzo." He starts. "After this one girl... Lorenzo hated the idea of getting with anyone else. Amora, you're the first one in years." Domenico adds on.

Really.

Wait what-

"Are you serious?" I ask.

"Deadly." He replies. "Look, Amora, trust me. Lorenzo will never break your heart. Never." Domenico reinsures me.

"But whatever decision you take upon. I'll support you." Domenico says.

I laugh a little. "Thanks, Domenico." We say our byes and I hang up the phone.

Fuck.

I hesitate before going onto the messages app. I press Lori's contact and text him.

'Ask me properly;)' I send him the text and immediately shut my phone and threw it onto the couch.

Fuck.
