After the conversation with Alfredo another few days passed and we were on our last day in shooting, but before I could even speak to Diego he left. Earlier than I expected.
- Why did he leave so early? - I asked Alfredo as he's the only one that knows everything about him.
- I have no idea. He only said he has some business to take care about - he replied.
- I see... - I sighed deeply as I sat down on the bench nearby.
- Clari... Just admit it... - Alfredo sighed as he sat next to me - You do love him...
I just sighed deeply. I really didn't want to answer him, but I knew he was right.
I do still love him... But nothing should be changed on this because if I don't tell Diego the truth he'd have never ever notice how heartbroken I am.
At this moment I suddenly felt two strong arms around my waist and it immediately calmed me down as I knew it was Rodrigo.
- Are you okay? - he asked - You seem really upset now...
- I'm okay now that you're here... - I sighed as I turned around and hugged him tightly.
- I have a question to you...
- Hm? What is it?
- Would you like to go out on a date with me tomorrow evening?
- Sure - I nodded, smiling and blushing slightly.
- Good - he smiled too - Anyway shall I take you home now? As I heard you have no more scenes today.
- Okay... That would be good - I smiled - Uhm... Actually I'm gonna have a meeting with Marco at the rink... In around 2 hours...
- Then I shall take you there too - he grinned as he nuzzled into my neck playfully - Besides I don't trust him...
- Eh? Are you jealous of him too?
- Kind of. I guess... - he sighed deeply - But I have a good reason to that!
- Oh? And what is that good reason?
At this moment he grabbed both my hands and squeezed then gently.
- Because I love you... I love you and all I want is to see you happy...
- Rodri... - I sighed - Don't do this to me, or I'm gonna cry...
- I only hope that this is from happiness because this is the only way that you're allowed to cry - he smiled as he kissed my forehead gently.
- It's from happiness... - I muttered - Happiness from knowing how caring you really are...
- This is only because I love you - he smiled then kissed me softly on the lips and later on he took me home.
----- TIME SKIP -----
Later Rodrigo came with me to the meeting too where Marco was already waiting for us and was a bit surprised as he noticed Rodri with me as well.
- I hope you don't mind him being here today - I said after greeting Marco.
- No, it's totally fine - Marco replied, a bit unsure then a few minutes later we started ice dancing together and luckily the place was big enough that when we were far away Marco asked - What's going on? Now seriously.
- What do you mean by that? - I asked back.
- I mean... First the other guy's jealousy... Diego... And now this guy?
- Our relationship is a bit complicated... But I'm with this jealous guy - I said as I looked over to Rodri and grinned - The other one is... I don't actually know what to say about him, but yeah...
- I see - he mumbled.
- But what do you care about my relationships? None of them will actually come to Italy so I can focus there to work more than now!
- That's actually nice to hear because this is unbelieveable how both of these guys make you not to focus on skating at all - he joked, but this was actually true.
- Shut up! - I hit his arm jokingly and I almost fell as I did, but he caught me and both of us burst out laughing.
I think working with him will be one amazing experience...
