"Let's talk, Arabella."

I feel my heart speed up. I sit on his bed and wait for him to continue. "I need your help in decorating a party for me. On Sunday night. There won't be too many people attending and don't worry about money you can use my card. You'll be going with Luca to the place and he'll help you out." He explains.

Without control, a slight frown appears on my lips, hoping for him to say something more. "He'll be here in 30 minutes. I'll meet you two at the place at 2 and we can buy lunch somewhere."

I nod my head and proceed to go back to my room. "Oh, and Arabella." I turn around to face him. "You might want to button up your shirt. I can see you're the colour bra you're wearing." I look down and notice it too.

I quickly button myself up as embarrassment stains my face with a red hue. "It's not your fault, you have boobs." He shrugs with a smirk.

I immediately leave his room trying to forget about what happened.

"This place is huge." I whisper even though it echoes through the whole hall. "How many people are really coming?"

"Like, a good 50 people." He shrugs.

I stare at him in disbelief. I recall him saying not too many people. "You're not in a talky mood are you?" He asks.

I shake my head. "I got back home pretty late." I confess.

"Were you out with you lover boy?" He says with sarcastic enthusiasm.

"Does everyone hate my relationship with him?" I ask with a smile.

"Vincenzo is the devil to your angel." He cries.

I roll my eyes. "Which colours did Aurora tell us to work with?"

"Since the floor is marble she advised ruby." He showed me a book with different colour shades Aurora gave to me. "But she warned me that lipstick would be an awful choice."

"They're all the same." I sigh trying to contain my cool. "But whatever. The chairs should be white with red cushions, the tables should have a red cloth." I instruct.

"What about the curtains or the cutlery?"

"Um, we spent so much time looking at how the toilet flushes we barely have any time to buy everything." I exclaim.

"But it flushed backwards." He wonders.

"Are you high, because I think you're high?" I say wearing a bored expression. "Here's what I'm thinking. In the centre is the table for Mr Varallo and his associates which will be extra big and the tables around with other people. Also all the tables should be round, no square tables." I envisioned.

"Okay, we can go order the stuff right now."

"Vince, I love the fact you can so comfortably be yourself out in the open." Luca says, taking a bite into his burger.

Mr Varallo throws some French fries into his mouth. "It's nice being a normal person every once in a while." He smiles.

"It's either, two are high, I'm high or I'm so tired I'm hallucinating. Why are you boys acting like kids?" I question.

They both look at me with childish smiles on their faces. "So what Disney movie are we watching after this?" Mr Varallo asks, grinning like an idiot.

"Have you seen Tangled!" Luca sings causing a few glances from people.

"The songs slap!" Vincenzo laughed, earning more glares.

"My eardrums, please." I cry slamming my head on the table. "Stop shouting." I mumble

"Excuse me," Someone says, grabbing our attention. I look up and see our waiter. "Could you please tone it down?" He asks.

"I would but, my burger keeps talking back to me and using inappropriate language." Luca says, waving his burger in the air.

"Sir, I'm going to ask you to please exit along with your friends." He glares at us.

"I'll give you $100 to shut the fuck up." Mr Varallo says, pulling out $100 dollar from his wallet.

"Deal." He smiles completely forgetting what just happened.

With a smile, he makes a 'Tsk' sound three times wagging his finger. "You just lost the money. I said to shut up and you spoke." He laughs putting the money back in his wallet.

"Get out of here." He orders us.

The two of them begin laughing as Luca puts the burger with a tone of ketchup in his hands. "The burgers here are shit anyway." He says walking out with Vincenzo leaving me to follow behind.

"What's wrong with you two?" I shriek.

"Get in the car." Luca orders opening the door for me. I step inside and he closes the door behind me. Quickly after they enter the car sitting in front and having a conversation in Italian while laughing.

"I love being left out." I mumble sarcastically staring outside. They stop talking and glance at me. "Want me to come back there and make you feel better, baby." Luca coos with a laugh.

Mr Varallo quickly joins in. "Oh, yes please." I moan, sarcastically.

This seems to cause him to speed up the speed. "Calm down, she has a boyfriend." Luca reassures, patting his shoulder.

"I know." He responds. "Do- do you want to cause more trouble?" He asks with a devious smirk.

*-*-*

I honestly wanted to make it up to you guys since the last chapter was like 100 words so I made this one 800 words.

I hope after reading this chapter you guys see Luca and Vincenzo's relationship. It isn't some bad relationship. Luca and Vincenzo are best friends and Luca brings out the playfulness in Vincenzo. Don't worry, Vincenzo isn't an asshole to him, I promise!
