Zara's pov
It's been 2 weeks since the night we went bowling, I babysat Mia a handful of times, Enzo and I text sometimes but it's mostly him checking in on Mia and a tiny bit of small talk
I guess he doesn't like me? I'm not sure
Ava has not told me what happened when she and Matt had their basketball date...though Ava swears it wasn't a date
But she won't tell me anything about it, Like hello she's my best friend WHAT GIVES??! What I do know is she lost the game they played
So of-course since I am noisy I am calling Enzo to get Matteo's number so I can meet with him and get the tea on what happened
* call with Enzo*
Enzo: hey zar what's up?
Zara: nothing much, I did have a little favor to ask you
Enzo: anything
Anything? Mhm me likey the sound of that UGH ZARA STOP FOCUS
Zara: I was wondering if you could give me Matteo's number, Ava won't tell me what happened on their little basketball date and I NEED to know!
Enzo: *laughs* sure thing I'll text it to you
Zara: THANK YOU!
Enzo: I am going to meet him for coffee in about an hour you can join and ask him then if you want
Zara: that's perfect! Thank you so much enz
Shit...I just said Enz oh well hope he doesn't mind nicknames? Meh I don't care if he doesn't like it, I LOVE a good nickname
Enzo: alright I'll pick you up soon then, bye muffin
Aww that's cute
Zara: *laughs* bye enzyyy
Enzo: *laughs*
Ugh, his laugh is so hot !!!!
*end of call *
Well looks like I'm getting the tea!!
I quickly put on a boring outfit
( fun fact that's an actual pic of me^â™¡ï¸ )
And by the time I quickly get dressed
Enzo is texting me that he's here
The cafe we're going to is about 15 minutes away so I decided to ask him something I have been wondering
"Can I ask you something, if it isn't too personal?" I ask hesitantly
"Sure," he says
"What happened to Mia's mom?"
He hesitates before speaking
"I had a one night stand with her, and then she got pregnant with Mia, she wanted to get rid of her but then said the only way she would have her is if I paid her...so I did she took 1 mill and I have never seen her since, it also taught me that one-night stands are a pretty stupid thing, though I will never regret having Mia she's the best thing to happen to me...I do regret sleeping around for a time in my life" he says
"Wow I'm sorry about her mother, I absolutely hate gold diggers...no offense to her," I say with a sour look on my face even thinking about a mother leaving her child
"I can't believe a mother would leave there own child," he says shaking his head
"Wait? So you haven't had a one-night stand since?" I ask curious...not that it's any of my business
He laughs "no the next person I'm gonna have any form of intimacy in that level I plan on spending the rest of my life with them," he says...respect that
"Ya Ive never actually had sex before...so I can say I definitely agree with that," I say laughing
"Wait? You've never had..." he hesitated
"Ya no, I've never had sex..." I say laughing
"Sorry that probably came out wrong it's not that I thought you slept around..." he says
"No it's fine, I have never really had any sort of boyfriend or anything like that, like I said no men have ever shown interest" I shrug
"That's weird," he says
"What is?" I ask
"Well I don't mean to be blunt but, your probably the most beautiful girl I have seen...so it seems weird that no guys would show interest in you," he says
I think I might actually faint...is this man trying to kill me!! LORD HAVE MERCY
"That's sweet but no...they never have," I say blushing
I try to change the subject...and I very much regret what I said now...
"So what's your family like?" I ask
"They're pretty great my parent's names are Antonio and Sofia, I am not super close with them because they ended up moving back to Italy a couple of years back but I still talk to them, they're coming up here for thanksgiving, oh and I am an only child," he says
"Wait your Italian!? So am I!! Except I cant speak Italian " I say a little annoyed, I always loved the language but never learned
" sì, sono Italiano, sei molto Carino, Quando ti infastidisci," he says while chuckling
(yes I am Italian, you're very cute when you are annoyed)
Damn I don't know what he said but that was HOT
"What did you say?" I ask
"I said 'yes I am Italian," he says while smirking
"Ya right you said more than that, what did the rest mean!!" I ask getting annoyed
He quickly eyes me and chuckles
"Così Carino," he says while shaking his head chuckling ( so cute)
"Excuse me! I'm not gonna lie it's a very attractive language so please keep talking, but at least translate!"
" No, Puoi fare Tesoro, mi piace vederti arrabbiarti " he chuckles
( no can do sweetheart, I like seeing you get mad)
"Ooo! You said sweetheart...but that's all I got from that" I say smiling
He chuckles while giving me a slight eye roll
"What! I like to read" I say
"So what about your family " and shit...now I regret asking about his family
Well time to lie to a guy that I am actually really liking and don't want to lie to...
"They're ok I guess, I stopped talking to them since I moved out of Seattle 5 years ago, and I am an only child," I ask starting to breathe a little more difficult
I think he could tell I was uncomfortable cus he moved the subject along
"So you're Italian?" He asks
"Ya but sadly never learned, I moved to Seattle for my parents work when I was a kid so I don't remember living in Italy or anything"
I'm not lying there... it's hard to remember anything from your childhood when it was built on you getting hit, beaten, tortured, cut, and neglected by your parents
"Well then maybe I can teach you some" he smiles at me
"I would like that...as long as you actually translate what you say," I say
"no promises on me telling you everything I say but I'll try" he winks
Damn that was hot
"Ok say this " sei molto Bello" ( you are very handsome)
"Alright...sei molto Bello," I say and butcher it a bit
"Why thank you zara how nice of you to say that," he says grinning like an idiot
"Wait what did you make me say..." I say
"You are very handsome," he says laughing
"Well you are so guess what I said was true," I say smiling while shrugging
Well shit I just said that
