You know that moment that you don't know what to do, you're just standing there watching how everything unfolds. You don't know whether to speak, move, or breathe. Well, I feel that way right now. When we got to his super-expensive apartment a lady was standing in the middle of it, to whom Lorenzo claimed is his mother. First, does he live with her? Second, why does she look so mad?

"Chi è questa ragazza? Questa è la tua ragazza? Non porti mai nessuno qui" the woman said. I took my time to look closely, she had hair the same color as Lorenzo, she was tall and elegant, she doesn't seem to be more than forty. Lorenzo seemed nervous when answering her in the language that she spoke "Non è la mia ragazza o altro. Che ci fai qui comunque?"
(Translation: Who is this girl? Is this your girlfriend? You never bring anyone here.
She's not my girlfriend or anything. What are you doing here anyway?)

The woman separated her sight from Lorenzo to look at me and smiled "Hi sweetheart, sorry for that" she said in the most polite tone ever. Her just telling me those few words made me happy. I never actually experienced anything caring or nice with my mother nor with my dad since I don't know anything about him "Ohh emm..no, it's ok." I stuttered, I gave the impression that I couldn't speak correctly. "Are you nervous?" she asked, eyeing me carefully.

"Yes"

She suddenly gasped and looked at Lorenzo then back at me "You guys are dating, that's why you're nervous. Why would you hide this from me? I knew it, he never brings anyone home"

He started shooking his head before denying it completely "Mom we are not dating. Plus this is my home, what are you doing here?"

I just stood there, looking around without saying a word. Do I deny too? Do I let him do all the talking?

She answered back some works that I couldn't hear because I was too focused on watching the beautiful view this penthouse had. You could see the whole city, it was already night so everything was light up. The tall buildings were shining like stars, some helicopters were going around, probably tourists. Just to imagine that every single person behind those windows had a different story, is amazing.

A pitcher and smaller voice took me out of my thoughts "Enzo, you're here" a little girl came out of one of the room screaming on her way to Lorenzo's arm. He waited patiently for her with his arms open. As soon as she collided in his embrace he picked her up and showered her in kisses. I looked back trying to see if the elevator was still open so I could get out of this situation. This was all a big mistake.

I feel out of place. Whenever someone is being affectionate I feel weird.

"Damn it" I sighed disappointedly when I turned around and the elevator doors were closed. I know it's my fault because I was the one who insisted to help him clean up his wound but I never intended to meet his whole ass family. I heard the little girl ask "Who is the girl with the drawings?"

That little bitch. Drawings?

I turned around to see them all looking at me "I'm Maya and you are?" I replied with a big fake smile. She didn't reply right away instead she looked at Lorenzo and said "Put me down"

This kid is dramatic.

She went to speak to who I was supposed to be her mother too.  She whispered something in her ear. Lorenzo looked like he was about to burst so he spoke before the girl even had time to finish whatever she was saying "Ok that's it. Mom, she is here because" his brain stop functioning, so I help him out "He needed it my help with...the club"
