"You really do look beautiful right now. You know?" Luciano said as he stared into my eyes.

"Oh I think I know by now, this is like the fifth time you've said it. Come on tell me about you, your family, anything."

"Ok, Well as you know my father retired, I own the company and I do like it but the thing is...I don't have the motivation or more like I don't push myself enough, which I want to change soon. So that's a goal. I haven't heard from my brother since he moved away to a random place, he just left a letter saying he's going away to take his years of relaxation and he isn't planning on coming back, he threw away his phone too."

"Good things so far but tell me about Amara nowww."

"Well, she's got a new bestie now, her husband. She's been married to julian for about 4 years now and she's never been better they even have a daughter now, you know I always thought you'd have a kid before she did because, I had planned out our possible future."

"Wow so she's been busy then, glad she's doing good but me with kids...no not my style. I'm guessing that your plan didn't involve all of this happening?"

"Nope, you know that night, I was gonna give you a promise ring, but then I got the call..."

"Can you actually explain what happened that night?" He took a deep breath before talking.

"Ok so that night everything was going good but then my dad called me, saying that he had 'accidentally' got me into a marriage. He said they were talking about business and then the guy's daughter came up and yeah my father just popped the idea out and the guy agreed, so I panicked and I fucked everything up. My sister was just as confused and so she booked her ticket and was on her way there and so was I except I had nothing to come back to in New York. I finished school in italy and stayed. I called, texted even sent mail and nothing."

"I am sorry, as much as I would like to blame you for everything I was still the one who ended the relationship and still never saw your five years of texts that you went through for me."

"So you saw it?" I nodded my head

"I just saw it today and fuck, do you know how romantic that all is?"

"I meant everything on there from the first year to the very last. Also I only became a play boy because it was a way to run from my emotions about you...worked a bit at times but truly I never healed from you."

"Me neither, but now I don't really look at it as a bad thing."

"It was a bad thing?"

"Let me live try not being able to forget about an ex for ages. It sucks."

"True, looks like we've already got something in common."
