A couple of weeks have passed since the whole Vincenzo fiasco. I haven't heard a word from him which is probably good for my mental well being and me and the girls have been hanging out more.

Work started back up last week, and i've officially decided to reveal my face to the public and all our fans. There have been many interviews about later games and new developments and technology that our company will acquire.

Damien and I haven't talked much these past weeks, which is honestly kind of surprising because of the whole we own a company together thing.

It isn't a bad thing though, it's just that as soon as I revealed my face we've both had our own business to attend to. So today I planned for us to have lunch together, and just catch up about some things.

Its not like we haven't been texting each other nonstop but it's just better to see him in person. I miss his bear hugs when i'm feeling down and I also haven't told him about Vincenzo.

There's also a slight problem with Vincenzo.

I found out from Matteo that, Vincenzo is his best friend. How did I never catch that?

This whole time i've been basically messing with my brothers best friend.

That's such a cliche.

Anyways, I found out because I got a lengthy text from Matteo saying how I broke his best friend's heart and now he has to deal with his drunken rage and rants about me. He was even more upset because Vincenzo was going into too much detail about our relationship and Matteo did not want to hear any of it.

So now I have to deal with Matteo when I see him.

That should be fun.

On the bright side, Saul and I have been hanging out. It's mostly just us getting lunch together everyday and talking about the thing we've been most interested in. Saul is good company he's always joking and he has a certain golden retriever energy about him.

It's like immediate happiness when he's around.

I'm sitting at my desk when all of a sudden I get a call from my mother.

Well shit I haven't talked to her in like 1 month I wonder what's going on.

"Hola mamá" I say happily because i've missed her so much.

"Oye nena cuando vienes a mexico te extrañamos" (Hey babe, when are you coming to Mexico we miss you)

My mom and dad moved to Mexico when I went to college in the states. My dad didn't really want to move to Mexico because he loves Italy so much but my mom convinced him and I have no clue how she did it. They live together with My Abuela and my little sister Celeste. She was going to move with me to the states for college but she currently does college online and she lives with My parents.

"I'll be home soon mommy, how's dad and Celeste?" I ask trying to change the topic.

My mother wants me to live with them, if she had it her way I would've never left the house.

"Look at you, you don't even speak your first language anymore." She sucks her teeth and I just know she has her hand on her hip.

My mom was born and raised in Mexico she may be mixed but her english isn't that good. My dad on the other hand is from Kenya which is why I speak Swahili. They met when my dad went on a trip to Mexico some time ago I don't really know the whole story but it's kind of cute.

Growing up my dad taught me and  Celeste english and Swahili while my mom mainly spoke to us in Spanish, which is the first language I was taught. My dad also speaks Spanish but that's a whole other story.
