I got out of the shower and put on the black sweatpants and black tshirt that Damiano gave me. I couldn't resist but take a minute to inhale his perfume through his clothes.
I felt insane. I found the courage inside me to just put away my fears, but I felt like I was going insane. I had no idea how to cope with the strong emotions that took over me.
I exited the bathroom and saw Damiano in his bedroom. He was at his desk, writing something. I sneaked behind his back, but he noticed me. He closed the notebook and put it in his drawer.
'Are you sleepy?' he asked standing up.
'A little' I answered and crawled in his bed.
He sat besides me and we both sat in silence, face to face.
'Your clothes are comfortable' I giggled.
'They look better on you' he grinned and lean in to kiss the tip of my nose.
'Aren't you feeling like.. weird?' I asked looking at the ceiling.
'Weird? Why weird?' he asked putting his head on my chest.
'I don't know what scares me most- the fact that you want to explore my depths or that I am actually willing to let you.' I sighed.
'I did relationships before, it's always scary at first. I care about you, Sorn. And if anything makes you uncomfortable you should tell me right away.' he said looking up to me.
'It's not that I am uncomfortable, I am too comfortable' I laughed.
'Why is it a bad thing?'
I didn't say anything for a moment, trying to choose the words I wanted to use. I didn't want to give him the wrong impression.
'It's hard to think that I'm in the position of giving my heart when it can be easily torn apart by anyone.'
'You have no idea how to respond to someone that wants to give you what you deserve..'
'Don't say that so directly! I don't want to admit it' I laughed and he did too.
'Let your walls down and let light come in. If you didn't realize I am the light.' he giggled like a kid.
-
'Wake up' I whispered, but Damiano just wined at me.
'It's still so early..' he moaned and tossed around in bed.
'It's 6, I need to go home and change. I'll just take an uber, I said and kissed his cheek. See you later!'
'Waaait- I'm coming' he sighed dramatically and stood up in a sitting position.
'Well then come on, it's already late.' I smiled.
'How are you such a morning person?' he made a confused face and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
He got dressed pretty quickly and drove me to my apartament.
'Do you want to come in?' I asked.
'I need to make some calls, I'll just wait for you in the car.' he answered.
I nodded and left the car. I unlocked my door and expected to see Ethan sleeping on the couch, but he wasn't there. I chekes Thomas's room and found the both of them, shirtless, sleeping. They looked so close, even though they weren't even touching. I couldn't resist but wander if something was going on between them. After all, they were both teenagers living their lives.
I changed trying not to make any noise and it 10 minutes I was down. I noticed Damiano talking to someone on his phone and it looked like a fight. I got in the car, trying not to ask myself so many questions.
'I have to go. Yeah, bye' he said an hung up the phone.
'Are you ok?' I asked.
'Mhm, just my mom.' he answered and drove off.
'Will you stay with me at the shop today?'
'Uh no, I have some work to do so I can be free in the weekend. I thought maybe we could all go in a small holiday like in the mountains or something.'
'That's a great idea.. I really want to get out of Rome for a couple of days. You can talk to the others to arrange everything.'
He pulled over the car in front of my flower shop since it was really close to my home. I kissed his cheek goodbye and got out of the car. He seemed nervous, he wasn't in his usual happy mood and I wanted to help. I knew Damiano was the kind of guy who is open about his feelings and likes to talk about them, but I didn't want to be too nosy.
-
The day went on as usual, nothing too out of the ordinary. All of us decided to go see Vic and also talk about the trip that Damiano planned. He was supposed to pick me up at 2pm, but he cancelled last minute.
This wasn't Damiano, he wouldn't just call me to cancel things. Also he wouldn't cancel seeing his friend who is in hospital. I felt so distracted and concerned and kind of guiltuy that he wasn't reaching out for my help. After all, we spent most of our days together.
I got to the hospital and Ethan, Meike and Thomas were already there.
'Tomorrow I can go home' said Vic grinning.
'That's wonderful! So, I was thinking about going on a trip this weekend, actually Damiano thought about this-' I started.
'Why isn't he here?' asked Ethan raising his eyebrow.
'He said he had some work to do' I shrugged and everyone could see the frustration in my eyes.
'Oh- anyways. He must be busy, that's all' smiled Vic.
'But a few days off sound so good. My dad has a van with like six seats and I can drive.'
'We should leave on Friday right? Or Thursday?' asked Thomas.
'I mean, I have work on Thursday.. Friday sounds better if we leave in the morning' I shrugged.
We all decided to talk to Damiano and see if he was ok with leaving on Friday. He didn't answer any of my text and my anxiety kept rising every moment.
I left the hospital kind of early saying that I wasn't feeling well. And I wasn't. Something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what.
