“Damiano was engaged?”

“How do you know?”

Arianna and Cara asked their questions at the same time, though Arianna was tense with a firm expression on her face.

“I wasn’t too sure about it, but you just confirmed it for me.” I said, raising a brow at her. “I have known for a while, actually, but he doesn’t know that I know.” I observed her closely, trying to figure out why she had reacted like that.

“Why didn’t you ask him the minute you learned about it?” Arianna played it off by checking her nails as if she wasn’t interested in the conversation anymore.

“I don’t know.” I sighed. “I figured he would tell me if he wanted to. I’m not exactly eager to hear about the women he has been with.”

“Why did they break up?” Cara asked.

“That’s not my story to tell. If you want to know, ask him.” She smirked at Cara, making her roll her eyes at her before getting comfortable on the bed again. “But you’re right, it doesn’t matter. I can’t believe you two are going to have a little one.” She gave me a soft smile.

“Ever heard of a condom?” Cara suddenly asked, making Arianna groan.

“We used protection!” I said to my defense. “Well, the first time at least…” I mumbled quietly.

“Damiano was so eager to get his dick wet that he forgot to wrap it up.” Cara snickered.

“I fucking hate you right now.” Arianna shuddered in disgust.

I let out a laugh when Cara did hip thrusts to provoke Arianna, and it was only a matter of seconds before she would have Cara in a headlock to shut her up.

I sat up with a grumble, stirred awake by my rumbling stomach. It was early enough that everyone else was still asleep.

I looked at Cara’s sprawled body on my bed. It made me want to smack her face with a pillow for all the times she has barged into my room at the crack of dawn. But it would have to be another time since I was so hungry that I almost felt sick.

“Oh, it smells so good!” Cara appeared with Arianna just as I finished making a breakfast buffet and placed everything on the dining table.

“I’m starving!” Arianna said and took a seat.

“Well, dig in!” Just as I was about to take a seat, the doorbell rang. “Who would come at this hour?” I said to myself as I went to check.

“Hello there, beautiful! Missed me?!” Raffaele's voice filled the room with joy as he yelled out and wrapped me in a tight hug the instant I opened the door. It took me a full minute to process that Raffaele was here. I hugged him tightly, letting out a laugh as he caught me off guard.

“Oh my God! What are you doing here?” I leaned back to look at him with a smile.

“Everyone just left me and I was feeling lonely. So, I thought why not join you here!” He grinned from ear to ear and pulled me into a tight hug once more.

“Careful, Raffaele.” Damiano’s voice came out of nowhere when Raffaele squeezed me a bit too much.

“Don’t worry, you will get her to yourself in a moment.” Raffaele teased but stepped aside for me to see Damiano and Lorenzo. I hadn’t even noticed them as Raffaele practically ambushed me.

“You came at the right time. I just made breakfast.” I gestured for them to come in, and Raffaele eagerly skipped toward the mouthwatering aroma of the food. Lorenzo shook his head at Raffaele’s behavior as he followed him.

Damiano halted right in front of me with a frown on his face.

“You answer the door dressed like that?” His eyes narrowed in on what I was wearing.

“I wasn’t expecting anyone to come.” I shrugged. Damiano’s shirts were big, almost knee-length on me. I have worn dresses more revealing than this.

Which he ruined by cutting and cuming all over it.

I wrapped my arms around him, giving him a sweet smile.

“I’ve missed you.” I gave him a quick peck on the lips, which melted the frown away from his face, and a small smile appeared on his lips.
