It's been a month.. A month since the kiss between Mar and Ale happened. A month since Alessya has been acting like it never happened, meanwhile Mariano has been trying to bring it up, trying to talk about it. They had been talking for roughly two months now, as friends. It's also been a month since she's been in contact with anyone in New Jersey though.
Tonight was a party being thrown between some friends, the night before the boys meet and greet. Currently Merrit and her were getting ready for the meetup, excited to see familiar faces like Donae and Malcom. Putting some mousse in her hair, she fluffed up her curls before looking in the mirror at her overall appearance. She decided to just wear jeans with a navy blue shirt, tying it up in a knot towards the front.
Throwing on her air forces, she grabbed the sweater from off her vanity chair. The Kappa sweater that Merrit let her keep when she first arrived. She still didn't know whose sweater it was, but the smell of the faint cologne was familiar. It reminded of her someone without actually knowing who it belonged to. Sliding her arms through the sweater, she applied a layer of lip gloss before hearing Merrit walk out the bathroom, her ready as well.
"Ready to go?" Alessya asked with a smile as she grabbed her phone off the charger, sliding it into her back pocket.
"Yeah, let's go," Merrit responded before grabbing her phone and charger as well.
Both heading down the stairs, they said a quick goodbye to Alessya's parents before walking outside. Alessya closing the door behind her before they made their way over to her BMW and got in.
"Do you know the address?" Alessya looked over at Merrit and asked, before placing her phone in the cup holder, her phone dinging repeatedly.
"Oh yeah, it's at Malcom's house," Merrit responded before typing the address in her phone's GPS and attaching it to the phone holder for Alessya to follow along with.
Nodding her head, Alessya waited for them both to have on their seat belt before taking off down the road, in the direction that the GPS directed her towards. She had known her phone was being blown up by the occasional text from the group back home. Or at least, her old home. After facetiming the boys that one day after the kiss, she pretty much fell off the face of the planet from them.
She had been enjoying her life too much in Canada to really focus on the boys; but she did miss them.. Snapping out her thoughts, she shook her head. They reminded her too much of Mattia and her past with him, she wanted a fresh start. And with keeping the boys around, she couldn't do that. She had made a new group of friends, she was content with Merrit and everyone else. Compared to New Jersey, Alessya had been able to get out a lot more. Taking advantage of that as she'd been going to parties or hanging with their little group every weekend, sometimes even on school nights, staying out until like 2am.
Smiling in contentment at the thought of her newfound freedom and personality, being someone whose more open and strong; they continued their half an hour drive talking about recent news along with singing along to whatever songs played on the radio. Halfway through, getting tired of the commercial breaks and taking turns picking songs on the AUX.

No longer than an additional fifteen minutes later, due to traffic, they had arrived to Malcom's complex where his condo was located. Pulling up in the back, they found a parking spot before hopping out the car. The crisp, Canadian night breeze hitting them.
"Oh fuck, it's chilly." Alessya stayed before wrapping the sweater around herself. Merrit nodding in agreement as they headed towards the front door.
After being buzzed into the main building, they located the stairs before jogging up them, looking for the floor that Malcom was located on. It had taken them a minute considering they're 'slow and slower' like two lay brain cells trying to work. But eventually they landed upon his door, knocking on it as they waited for an answer.
The doors locks were heard from outside, as someone was twisting them to unlock the door and open it. After a minute of waiting, considering the person seemed to be talking while doing so, the door was whipped open. And there in the door stood Mariano..
"What's up mamas," he greeted with his signature smirk plastered across his face, causing Alessya to roll her eyes. She couldn't help it, she hated when he was cocky.
"Um yeah, party," Merrit butt in to say before pushing past Mariano, pulling Alessya close behind her. Mariano couldn't help but to look down at Alessya's ass as she walked past, biting down onto his bottom lip.
"Damn," he muttered to himself, his eyes filling with lust as he closed the door behind them.

The rest of the night was spent with more people arriving, a lot of them being friends of either Donae or the boys. But Alessya was quick to socialize and catch on.
Alessya surprisingly had began to speak to Mariano again, after avoiding the conversation for so long. He seemed to only act like a dick when present around other females. So most the night was spent with only them in the living room, which everyone else crowded around the kitchen to create tiktoks.
Eventually everyone had gathered around in the kitchen, Mar getting up to see what was going on. And of course Alessya followed close behind, being a nosy little shit as well. What they hadn't known was Donae took Mar's phone in order to create a tiktok off his account. Alessya not thinking too much of it, standing on her tiptoes to be seen in the back, her tiny frame practically hidden.

After the video was over, Alessya let out a soft laughing, seeing how ridiculous Mar and Luca looked in the video. She hadn't seen that Donae had posted it though, until her phone began to buzz uncontrollably.
Confused, she pulled out her phone before seeing she was being tagged in a bunch of comments. Pulling up the video, she had realized people were tagging mattia as well. Reading over the comments, she read 'is that @alessyafarrugia in the back with mar??' '@mattiapolibio bro he took your girl' 'my heart hurts but is happy at the same time, I ship ale and mar!' Liking all the positive comments, she ignored the ones that pertained to her ex before hearing someone approach her.
"Come on," Mar said as Alessya looked up to meet his gaze, "let's get away from them." He stated as he held his hand out to her.
Shrugging, she grabbed hold of his hand before being led away to the bathroom. Seeing as no one was down the hall.
"Well looks like we got caught up anyway, so let's give them something to talk about." Mar said before leaning down and placing a kiss upon Alessya's lips, grabbing her by the back of the neck to keep her head in place.
Shocked in that moment, her eyes went wide before slowly giving into the kiss, closing her eyes as she placed her small hands upon his chest. Gripping the fabric of his t-shirt as she kissed back.
