The One Where He Reads To Her

Seriously, I don’t know what this is... but here it is, whatever this is xD

,,I’m so so tired!" Luna burst through Matteo's bedroom door, sighing out as she made her way over to his king-sized bed. Matteo was right behind her, chuckling at her when he saw how she collapsed on the bed, hitting the sheets face first dramatically.

,, I don't blame you, you worked really hard today, " he told her proudly, leaning on the door frame. ,,although, I think you should ease it down a bit, you know what Juliana told you."

As If the name of their usually very strict coach suddenly woke her up from her sleepy state, she raised her head from the pillows, ignoring the warning look he gave her as the exciment returned to her eyes. ,,But do you want to know what she told me yesterday?’’ She had her finger pointed at him, eyebrows raised and the widest grin on her face.

,,Um, that you might hurt yourself if you don't slow down?" Matteo guessed while raising his eyebrows to mimic her, going to his closet to hang up both of their jackets.

,,No!’’ She called after him, sitting up on the bed quickly to get rid of her sneakers. ,,After that! She said we have a really high chance to win this competition with the choreography we came up with, and that's something huge coming from her!’’

Luna clapped her hands like a little child, too cheerful to contain the happiness she felt. And no one could blame her, really, others were also surprised when they heard the words, asking the older woman If she really meant that. They put the choreography together all by themselves as a surprise, and Juliana was so happy with it she insisted on using it in the next competition.

,,Are you sure it was real? Wasn't that another dream of yours, moon girl?" Luna rolled her eyes even thought he couldn’t see her, smoothing out her shirt.

,,No, Matteo, it wasn’t one of my dreams! It was real and you can ask the others, they were there unless like you,’’

He duck his head out of the closet just to give her a pointed look at which she stuck her tongue out with a laugh. He had to go to his father’s meeting that day since the older man insisted on it and Luna knew how much Matteo hated it, whining to her through the phone all evening about this woman around her thirties that kept on flirting with him and he couldn’t get rid of her or do anything to make her leave, since she was the host of the meeting and he had to be polite and kind on behalf of his dad. Luna laughed so hard that day.

,,Anyways, when do we have to go back to the roller? Jasmín said she wanted us to meet someone.‘‘ Luna sighed tiredly, glancing at the clock on Matteo‘s nightstand.

,,Not until 4pm, I believe.’’

,,Oh! That gives me a plenty of time for a nap!’’ Matteo chuckled at her, returning back to the room and leaning against the doorframe to watch her as she made herself comfortable on his bed. Everyone knew that Luna was the definition of energy, and before he got to know her better, he always wondered if this girl ever slept, since she always seemed to be so full of energy, always jumping around, always moving, never sitting still. But truth be told, Luna‘s favorite thing to do, after skating of course, was to nap, something he never knew she was capable of.

,,Will you read to me?’’ Luna asked him softly, bringing him out of his thoughts.

Matteo smiled down at her with a small nod, knowing the girl had already picked out some book that caught her eye, and he was right, seeing how her small hand reached for the book lying on his nightstand.

,,How about this one? That’s the book your boyfriend got you, no?’’ She teased him, studying the dark cover with a smile tugging at the corner of her lips as he came closer to her.

,,Gastón’s not my boyfriend,’’ He corrected her with the roll of his eyes, bumping her nose and nudging her in the ribs playfully so she would move and make a room for him to lie next to her.

,,Astronomy book?” The brunette huffed once she realized what is the book about, judging it with her stare. ,,I won’t understand a thing!’’

Matteo took the book from her hands protectively, leaning on the headboard of the bed and letting her curl up against his side like a small cat. ,,I will explain everything to you, chica delivery.’’ He kissed the crown of her head when she laid her head on his chest, patting down her hair a bit to get it away from tickling his nose.

,,I know you love stars and everything connected to them, but I always wondered where did it came from? Is this like an italian thing that runs in the family?’’ Luna asked curiously, looking at the pictures in the book, scanning them with her fingers.

Matteo bit the inside of his cheek as he thought about it. ,,I guess you could say so, yeah,’’ he nodded. ,,My grandfather teached astronomy in college, my aunt always took me and my cousins to planetariums when we were little and one of my cousins actually brought his girlfriend a star,’’

Luna gasped, looking up at him with wide green eyes. ,,Are you serious?’’

Matteo nodded, brushing a piece of hair behind her ear. ,,She loved stars just as much, if not even more, so it was only fair.’’

,,That’s so romantic!’’ Luna bit her lip and laid back down on his chest, looking at all the pretty pictures as Matteo listed through the book, trying to find something interesting he could read to her.

,,Everyone has some bits and pieces from astronomy in my family, be it love for the nights full of stars, stargazing or owning an observatory like my great-uncle, but I still have something special that no one achieved to have, ever.’’

Luna raised her head to look up at him with a frown, slightly confused as she never noticed any special star-tracking device or anything similiar to it lying around the Balsano Villa, especially not in his new apartment, since she pretty much knows it as the back of her hand. Does he and Gaston have some secret room they never told her about?

,,I have the moon and the sun, ‘’ Matteo chuckled at her, since she was always so obvious, brushing his fingers over her cheek softly as the realization hit her and a deep red color spread over her rosy cheeks. ,,I have them both, mixed together in the brightest person to ever walk on this earth.’’ He looked at her with such an adoration, his eyes soft and full of love, she couldn’t help the blush spreading to her cheeks as she quickly hid her face in his chest. He chuckled at her, running his hand up and down her spine.

,, You just gotta win in everything, don’t you, Chico Fresa?’’ She mumbled softly, trying to concentrate on the words and letters in the book rather than the heat taking over her body. She curled her fingers under her head to nuzzle closer to him.

,, Always chica Delivery, ‘’ He responded with a kiss to the top of her head, smiling satisfiedly. He started reading to her then, answering her curious questions, explaining definitions and telling her stories until he felt her breathing slow down, saw how her eyelashes rested against her cheeks peacefully, lips slightly parted as she finally fell asleep soundly.

He gave the crown of her head few small kisses before he rested his head against hers, wrapping his free arm around her waist to draw little circles on the skin beneath her ridden top.

He didn’t stop reading though, only without a sound this time, getting lost in the book every passing second.

This became quite a ritual for the both of them when they had a free time that they could spend together, be it at his house or hers, when they werent skating or in the park and the brunette wanted to take a nap, he would read to her softly or tell her stories about his childhood and the time he spend in Italy, listing all the things he‘s going to show her when he takes her there, and it always helped her fall asleep easily, listening to his voice and holding onto him like a small koala.

He was protective over these moments for many reasons. First, he was in his first year of college while she was graduating from the Blake so both of them had to dedicate a lot of time to keep up the perfect grades both of them had, then there were also the skating competitions for which they had to train harder than ever, their friends who wouldn‘t stop bugging them since the two got together recently, Jasmín‘s tablet in front of their faces right the moment they stepped into the roller, Delfi in tow with the most annoying questions she could think off, Jim, Yam and even Nina bombarding the tiny brunette with giggles and they just keep asking and asking over again, and while they both just laughed at all of this, they still wanted to enjoy some quiet time together, without a sound or their friends bugging them all the time, just the two them.

But most importantly, the girl has dreams that leave her crying in the morning, confused and scared, these dreams that she has no control over and while the nightmares usually come at night, naps were a lot safer and he wants her to get all the sleep she could get without anyone waking her up.

And just as he thought he might actually join her and nap with her, a loud noise brought him back from his thoughts, and the next thing he saw was his rude best friend bursting through the door.

,,Hey! Where were you?? I‘ve been calling you alm-woah!‘‘ The pillow Matteo threw at his face muffled him, luckily, but it still didn‘t give him the sign to stay quiet. ,,What was th-ohhh!‘‘ Gaston winced and quickly shut up when he realized, bringing his hands up in defeat.

,,I‘m sorry!‘‘ he whispered, before both of them checked if they woke the sleeping girl up, and when she didn‘t move a bit, Matteo threw his friend and glare.  ,,What do you want?‘‘

,,I just came to tell you that Jasmín canceled the meeting since the mysterious person didn‘t show up, so you two can continue with what you‘re doing,‘‘ Gaston said in a whisper while Matteo just showed him a thumbs up as a thanks.

It took him two clicks and a flash until he realized what his friend was doing, rolling his eyes at him as Gaston grinned proudly at his captured photos.

,,This is so cute, I‘m sure it‘s going to brighten Jasmín‘s mood. What a great Fab and Chic content!‘‘

,,Luna‘s going to kill you, just sayin,‘‘ Matteo shrugged, already picturing the angry pout on his girlfriend‘s face as she goes after Gaston. For someone so small, she brings out a lot of fear when angry. ,,and I will let her,‘‘

,,This is so worth it, besides, I‘m spending the night at Nina‘s,‘‘ Gaston gushed.

,,You realize thats also her house, right? That‘s not a hard place where to find you,‘‘ Matteo shook his head, confused by his best friend‘s game he played with the tiny brunette.

,,Oh, I‘m taking her keys, too.‘‘ Gaston grinned, reaching out for the sparkly bundle of keys lying on the colorful backpack. ,,So, I kinda got you a date, enjoy it and be safe!‘‘ He said as he left the bedroom, the keys clutched in his palm proudly.

,,Oh don‘t worry, we will!‘‘ Matteo called out after him softly, chuckling lightly at the sound of a gasp and what must have been a chair falling over.

The One Where No One Interupts

This is something I came up with after 3x15, aka what If Nina and Jasmín didn’t come :I It doesn’t even make sense but I had it in my head and thought I would share this with you :D 

The moment Luna fell into Matteo's arms, his heart skipped a beat. He knew it was a bad idea, letting her climb up the tall mountain of tech workstations*, but that didn't matter now, the only thing that mattered was her in his arms, eyes wide as a doe caught in a streetlight, heart beating fast and loud against his chest for him to feel - or was it his heart he felt? He couldn't tell, adrenaline rushed through his veins because she could've hurt herself, he shouldn't have let her do that.

He searched her eyes, getting lost in the beauty of green in them for a second.

, Are you okay?''

, Yea-yeah,'' she panted, watching him with these big eyes, probably still taken aback by how close they were. He was too, his eyes drifting to her parted lips for just a millisecond, and Luna couldn't help but do the same.

, Are you sure?''

She didn't register what he had asked her, too distracted, and so she just nodded. She couldn't even remember the last time when they got so close that she could see him - really see him - when she could count the light freckles that dotted his nose or see the crease on his forehead that showed up whenever he smirked. Or the curve of his lip, that shaped whenever he smiled at her with that one smile reserved only for her. He was too distracting, and she couldn't concentrate on anything but him.

Luna didn't even know how her feet made contact with the floor beneath her but when they did, she stumbled a bit, making her move even closer to him. A blush spread across her cheeks and she cursed her little legs for being so clumsy and not holding her upright when she needs it the most.

Matteo caught her elbow lightly, smiling down at her. He didn't move away from her, not even a little bit. He could have, If he wanted to but instead, he only got closer (If even possible) by slowly leaning in.

His eyes flickered to her lips and back to her eyes, twice, giving her the time to pull away, and when she didn't, he closed the gap between them.

If Luna wanted to pull away, or at least stop him by saying something, it was too late - her mind was blurred and anything responsible or sane inside of her screaming at her to stop this got locked far away from Luna's reach. She found herself tugging at his sweater to bring him closer, her lips moving in synchrony with his, so gentle and caring.

How is it possible she survived without this? Without the feeling of his soft lips on hers, his hands bringing her closer, tangling his fingers in the messy curls of her hair. The sensation of feeling suddenly alive, her whole body tingling with energy as If she just now woke up from a long sleep.

She felt the thin fabric of her sweater sliding down her arms and Matteo's hands on her cheeks as he pulled away slowly, tugging at her bottom lip.

It took Luna awhile to catch her breath and open her eyes. Something in Matteo's eyes shifted, they were pure and full of adoration as he brushed his thumb over her left cheek, and that's how she knew she was blushing, a rose color spreading over her cheeks. He wasn't smirking or smiling really, he looked serious, and suddenly, Luna remembered.

, No,'' She backed off a few steps, fixing her sweater and wrapping her arms around her small frame. , This- this shouldn't have happened, we're friends.'' 

She shook her head and walked over the opposite side of the dressing room, trying to make as much of a space between them as she could - even though the furthest she got was not even two meters away.

, You and I both know we're not just friends, Luna.'' He didn't move,

only turning to lean his back on the wall next to him, keeping the space she created clear.

Luna shot him a nasty look, the one saying it's not true, but in reality, deep down, she knew he was right, she just didn't want to admit it.

, It can't be like that, what we were before, means nothing now. We're friends.''

Matteo caught her mistake before she did, and at that moment she decided she should keep her mouth shut before she makes it even worse.

, It means nothing? So everything that we've been through, means nothing to you? You just gonna wipe it all off?!''

, That's not what I meant!'' Luna stood up to make a point, walking a bit closer to him, knowing she had to explain this because, Matteo, the hot-headed chico fresa got it all wrong. She stopped when she got in front of him, not making the mistake of getting into his space because she knows how that would've ended, just like 5 minutes ago and nothing would be solved. They need to talk about this.

, We hurt each other,'' Luna started slowly, bringing her hand up to stop him when she saw Matteo straight up, opening his mouth to speak.

, We both made mistakes, ones that didn't even had to be made, but we did them.'' She dug her hands into the sleeves of her sweater, biting her lower lip. , we hurt each other so bad it ruined what we had, and the good that remained got ruined by our fear of destroying it, too,'' Luna slid down the wall opposite to Matteo, shrugging her shoulders.

, We can't solve this by just going back to where we left off, saying we're going to do better, or making out in a dressing room Matteo-,'' she sighed, ,I think we both need time to heal,''

Matteo nodded his head, knowing that Luna was right, there's nothing they can do except for gaining back the lost trust and understanding they had

for each other. , So, you're saying there's still chance for us,''

, I don't know,'' Luna whispered, ,,but what I do know is that I still love you, Matteo, more than anything,'' she added quietly.

Matteo's eyes flickered with hope, a grin creeping up on his face.

Luna realized what she had said, and blushed, again.

, I love you too, chica delivery,'' Matteo told her to let her know, and maybe to keep her from the blushing, but it didn't help, it only got worse. ,,You mean to much to me to screw this chance up,'' Luna covered her face with her hands so he couldn't see her, feeling like a shy little girl watched by hundreds of people.

He laughed at her fondly, because she was adorable, and nudged her with his foot, making her laugh with him.

They probably didn't even notice the sound of the door unlocking and muffled awe's of Jazmín as Nina dragged her away, closing the doors quietly to give the healing lovers some space to be with each other.

*I have no idea what are these things called, uncle Google helped.

The One Where She’s Scared

Super late kinda Valentine’s day one shot, although I’m not very fond of this one. Nevermind, here it is… 

Matteo couldn’t wait to be home already. He was a bit down, tired, and the weather didn’t help the mood that much since it rained the whole day. Today was Valentine’s day, the celebration of love, happiness & what not, and he couldn’t even take his girlfriend out on a date cause of the University’s late classes that couldn’t be canceled. It didn’t matter, anyways, since Luna had to stay in school longer too, because of some group project she needed to work on, and so they decided to make their own Valentine’s day the next day.

He was happy about that, obviously, he’s going to see her tomorrow, but It was just that they didn’t get to spend as much time together these days, since they both got pretty busy with school, and they couldn’t even have a free time on a day that they should spend together - Valentine’s day.

(That didn’t mean the brunette didn’t get her gifts send to her this morning, though)

He had it all planned out for tomorrow though, he’d pick her up at 7 pm to take her to a Mexican restaurant, since that’s what she’s been craving from the moment they came back from the competition in Cancún. Nothing fancy cause, him being a Balsano, son of the wealthy diplomatic, he spends all his life living in the fanciness and luxury of tight smiles, strict rules & uncomfortable clothes and her, being the newfound Benson, just entered the world of it and swore she hated it. Then, he’ll take her to the city cause she hasn’t seen much of its beauty at night, and he also promised he’d show her a wonderful spot for star-gazing. Simple but unique date, exactly how they wanted.

Now, as Matteo fidgeted with the keys of his apartment door, he wanted nothing but to get some food and call his chica delivery to ask how her day went. He hasn’t seen her in few days, but he checked up on her every day. He didn’t even have to call, though, a curious smile making his way on his lips when he opened the door and noticed the familiar sneakers and backpack lying on the floor. Dropping his keys in the bow and shrugging the jacket off his shoulder, he peaked his head into the kitchen as he made his way towards the living room.

“ Luna? ” He called out, his mood instantly lighting up as he spotted her. There she was, sitting cross-legged on the couch in front of his TV, big bow of popcorn in her arms as she read what seemed like a cover of a DVD, surrounded by a bunch of blankets and pillows thrown all around the big couch.

“ Oh, hey Matteo!” She smiled up at him, getting up from the couch to walk towards him, “ We finished the project a bit quicker than I thought we would, so I thought I’d come over here and wait for you. I know we decided to have our date tomorrow but, I just really wanted to thank you for the roses you got me so I thought we could maybe watch a movie or something.” She had this big smile on her face, and Matteo just watched her with a grin of his own, cause he loved how adorable she looked when she talked too much too fast, waving her hands around. All his tiredness suddenly disappeared and he couldn’t be happier to have her here.

“ You have no idea how wonderful that sounds, Chica Delivery,” He told her truthfully, sighing a bit as he brought her closer to him to hug her tightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he buried his head into her neck. She had styled her hair into a french braid and he could smell the perfume he didn’t breath in for a few days.

Although, her being over to his place so much, almost everything smelled like her, still, he missed breathing in the scent on her so he just closed his eyes and enjoyed her presence.

“ I missed you,” she mumbled into his chest and he tightened his grip on her, slightly picking her up from the floor as he swayed them side to side. “ I missed you more, moon girl,”

He didn’t know how he could’ve gone a whole week and a half without seeing her, but he’s glad she surprised him like this.

“ The roses are beautiful, Matteo, you really didn’t have to do that,” She pulled away slightly, just to look him in the eyes and he grinned down at her, “ I know, I just wanted to surprise you,”

,, Well you surely did.“ She smiled up at him, before giving him a quick peck on the cheek before pulling his hand towards the couch.

Matteo pouted at the gesture since he wanted a bit more than a kiss on the cheek, but let her drag him to the couch.

, I thought we could watch your favorite movie, since the only movies we ever watch are mine.” She showed him the DVD and he quirked his brows at her, ,,this seems quite suspicious, Luna, are you sure you’re okay? You’re obsessed with your movies.“

She rolled her eyes at him, ,,Keep it up and we’ll watch a Disney movie!” She joked, but it did shut him up. He put his hands up in defeat, laughing.

She set the movie up, while Matteo ordered them some food, before they snuggled on the couch just as the movie was starting. Neither one was currently watching it though since they both got slightly distracted with each other. When a loud scream erupted in the room, coming from the TV, Luna jumped at the loud sound. She pulled away from the kiss, startled, and both of their attention was turned to the TV, Matteo’s lips curving into a smile,

,,Um, love?“ he titled his head to the side as he watched the movie, and Luna only hummed in response, trying to understand why there was a black screen with unusual creepy sounds coming from it.

,,I appreciate you giving up your movies to watch one of the mines but, I’m pretty sure this is not my favorite movie. ” Luna shook her head.

,,It’s a horror movie,“ He chucked when a bloody girl screamed at the top of her lungs, making Luna jump in fear again.

,,How is that possible! It says it’s an action movie, look at the cover!” She was hiding her face in the blanket now, only peeking to see what’s about to happen when no sound came from the TV. Another scream and Luna buried her head back into the blanket with a shriek. Matteo found the whole situation very amusing, as he took the DVD cover to check it. Luna was a very distracted person, he wouldn’t be surprised If she accidentally bought a horror movie, but the cover didn’t lie, it was supposed to be an action movie, one of his favorites, actually, but the thing playing on his TV was not.

,,Somebody probably swapped the movies and put them in the wrong covers, “ Matteo reassured her, running his hand up and down her leg to calm her, ,,It doesn’t matter, I like horrors.”

Luna took the blanket off of her head to gape at him, but quickly put it back when a murder came on the screen lifting the knife in the air.

,, You want to watch that? Are you out of your mind!“ She winced when the guy killed another girl, scooting over to Matteo, literally getting on his lap and hiding in his chest. Matteo had a big grin on his face as he watched her actions. It was getting hilarious, watching Luna getting all scared over a movie. He didn’t complain, though, since he got to hold her in his arms, and so he wrapped his arms around her.

They continued to watch the movie quietly, Luna looking up only when Matteo promised her no scary scenes were about to happen. He loved how she buried her face in his neck at the start, but soon, getting more into the movie she winced every time the person on the screen didn’t listen to her silent pleas of don’t go in there, please, don’t- ouch, why do they always go in there!

It was already dark outside, and Luna demanded that Matteo at least turned the small lamp on, so she didn’t feel as frightened, although it didn’t give the room much light. When a doorbell rang, Luna almost fell out of Matteo’s lap If he didn’t catch her. ,,No! Don’t go there!”

She gasped, looking over his shoulder and holding onto his arm.

“ Luna, calm down, we ordered pizza, remember?” He brushed her a strand of hair behind her ear and got up slowly, chuckling at her. This truly was amusing.

Even when the movie ended, she wouldn’t want him to move, anywhere, paranoid that a creepy guy in a mask will show up and kill them. The only thing he could do was laugh and remind her that it was just a movie.

And when they laid in his bed, ready to go to sleep, her toes securely tucked under the blanket, her hold on him a little bit tighter than normal, head hidden in his neck, he’d grin down at her, secretly so she wouldn’t notice, running his fingers through her hair. ,,Luna? I think I heard weird noises coming from down the hall!“

,,Matteo!”

He only laughed harder.

The One Where She’s Hurt

I wrote this on phone and It’s currently 1AM on a school night :)

Luna loved when Matteo helped out the guys at the Roller, taking orders & preparing smoothies, she’d sit at one of the tables closest to the bar doing her homework, occasionally talking with him when he wasnt taking orders from the costumers. He’d help her solve her mathematics or whatever she didn’t understand in her class while she was trying not to die from frustration at how hard the homework was.

Like right now, when she’s going through her paper sheets about a book they had to read and write about, but her being distracted with everything happening around her, she couldn’t get this done and has been sitting here for hours. She was getting pretty annoyed, she couldn’t understand a bit from the book so how was she supposed to write a review about it?! Damn her teacher. Damn that book!

Matteo, on the other hand, was in a wonderful mood and found her frustration amusing as he told her, numerous times, to not run her hand through her hair so much, or she’ll go bald. And that’s not a pretty face to make at someone, Chica Delivery.

Luna only glared at him. ,, Haha, very funny, Chico Fresa. Why don’t you rather shut up and make me a smoothie.’’ She commanded, annoyed.

Matteo’s brows shot up as he gave her a surprised look, cleaning up the bar with a towel. ,, Woah, what was that? I thought I heard Ámbar for a minute?’’ He gave her a big smile as she rubbed her forehead and growled lightly. ,,I’m sorry, okay? I just can’t concentrate on this damn book and I’ve been trying to come up with something good to write about it for a good 2 hours already, and It’s hard since I have no idea what this book is about, and yes, I’ve read it but I couldn’t understand-“

,,It’s okay, I get it.’’ Matteo stoped her babbling, walking over to her and sitting at the chair across from her. He took her hands in his and run his fingers over her knuckles to calm her down.

,,This book is very hard to understand, I know. I had to read it twice and talk about it with one of my teacher to fully understand the meaning. I can help you with it.’’

Luna smiled at him gracefully. How is it possible that he’s always there when she needs him the most? ,,Thank you Matteo,‘’ she sighed out.

,,I think it’s too much for me for this couple of days, I’m sorry If I’m being all mean.’’ Looking down at their hands, she blushed as he played with her fingers, ticking her lightly.

,, I know you, moon girl, and I know you’re stressed over a lot of stuff, but don’t be, okay? Everything’s going to be alright.’’ He leaned down a bit, compelling her to look in his eyes as he gave her one of his smiles that he had reserved only for her, and Luna shivered. It was true, he really did know her, and she had to look away from his beautiful eyes before she’d start blushing like crazy because when he looked at her like that, his eyes all calming and reassuring she got weak in knees.

,,Now in return, ‘’ he started again, his smirk making its way back on his face as he leaned back into the chair, ,,You have to help me clean up.’’ He lifted his brow as Luna pondered on that, her brows furrowed and smile tugging at her lips as she played their usual game.

,Mhm, okay, I will help you, but...’’

The Italian gasped, throwing his hands up in disbelief, ,, Wait, you can’t just want something back from something I want back!’’ He made a good point but chuckled at her, making Luna laugh with him. ,,I want the smoothie you still didn’t make me.’’ She challenged, her voice playful.

,,That’s your price?’’ He asked her amusingly, getting up from his spot back behind the bar.

Luna hummed in agreement and followed him, skipping happily behind the bar. She was feeling much better, knowing she had Matteo to help her and was a bit calmer now. How is it possible that he always lightened up her mood?

She collected few glasses and helped him clean them while he did some smoothies for the costumers. When he placed a pink strawberry smoothie in front of her and wandered of to clean some table, she sighed out a laugh and rolled her eyes.

,,Really Chico Fresa? A strawberry smoothie?’’ He just wiggled an eyebrow at her and went back to his work.

When it was almost time to close and they were cleaning up the last tables, Nico was already gone and Pedro somewhere shooing last skaters out of the rink so he could close, Luna decided to clean up the shelves and reorganize the glasses to save the guys times. She was humming some song she knew Simon was writing for the next open, her thoughts in the clouds as she placed the glasses back on the shelves. Suddenly, one of them slipped from her hand and crushed to the ground. Luna winced at that sound and scrunched down to clean up the mess, picking up the bigger pieces to throw them out and reaching for the small broom with her other hand.

It might have been Pedro who was the cause of the loud bang on the rink but Luna got startled and the sharp piece in her hand cut her hand. She flinched at the sudden pain in her palm.

Great, exactly what I needed!

,,Luna, are you okay? Did you cut yourself?’’

,,It’s nothing Matteo, just a little cut.’’ She swore, turning her back to him as she waved her hand slightly, wincing at the burning pain. She heard him rummaging throught the drawers before pulling out a small box. ,,Come here,’’ he told her.

Sighing, she turns back to him knowing he’s not going to let it go until he’ll know she’s okay. He widened his eyes and quickly but gently took her hand in his, observing it.

,,Luna, this is definitely not a small cut!’’

It indeed wasn’t small, she had cut herself a bit deeper than she thought, the blood from her palm was slowly dripping on the floor and Matteo had to lead her to the sink so she didn’t make any bigger mess with her blood around the Roller.

,,Stay here,’’ he got a hold of her waist and sat her on the counter near the sink, holding her palm over the sink before going back for the small box of first-aid. Luna blushed because he always picked her up so effortlessly, the feeling of his fingers on her bare skin on her waist where her shirt had ridden up a bit still dancing.

When he came back with the life saving box, he stood between her legs and pulled out a couple of stuff, including the desinfection.

,,No, no, no no!’’ Luna shook her head at the little bottle of pain, because she hated this stuff more that anything. Okay, that was exaggerated, but still a bit true.

Luna remembers every single time whenever she fell while skating as a child, her mom would take this and spray it over her scratches, making her cry. She hated it from the moment she first saw it and she’s not going to stop now, even though she’s big enough to handle a little bit of pain.

,,Luna, we have to clean the wound! You don’t want to get infection do you?’’ She glared at him, or the bottle, but she did let him spray her palm. She hissed and growled under her breath, and Matteo gave her a knowing smile. Then, he took a paper towel and cleaned the wound gently.

Luna took the time while he was concentrating on her hand to look at him, since they were so close. She watched as a small crease made its way on his forehead as his brows scrunched a bit. She noticed the small light freckles that decorated his nose, his eyes, soft and brown, pure as he gently worked on her hand. She watched as his lips curled up slightly, and she wondered If they still tasted the same like she remembers.

,,Feel free to admire me,’’ he lifted his gaze to her eyes, winking at her. He smirked at her when she blushed, looking down at her feet and hiding her face in her curls. He noticed me staring at him, oh boy.

,,I wasn’t admiring you, Chico Fresa.’’ She lied, still not calm enough to look up at him and see the smirk on his face.

,,Sure you weren’t,’’ he teased her, lightly tickling her knee with his fingers, getting a giggle out of her. She was probably out of her mind because she looked up, knowing that his eyes were already on her, of course, and she had to bite her lip because, she couldn’t run since he had her trapped on a counter, standing between her legs while her injured hand was secured in his hands.

The only thing she could do was stare at him as his eyes fell to her lips, her eyes doing the same as certain thoughts made their way in her head. Both of their heads.

Was this it? Are they finally getting out of this weird state of - friends but not just any friends, since we like each other but dance around each other like nothing happened while it’s obvious to everyone - friendship / relationship?

,,What happened here?!’’

Matteo closed his eyes in frustration as he heard Pedro’s confused voice, and Luna might say the Italian was beyond annoyed that their friend had interrupted them. Well, she was too.

She cleared her throat as Pedro made his way around the bar island where the two of them tried saving her palm, Matteo making a bit room between him and Luna, but obviously not too much given the look they got from Pedro.

,, Did I miss something?’’ He asked, amusement in his voice.

,,Yes, you did. Luna broke few glasses and cut herself, could you please clean the mess while I take care of her hand?’’ Matteo’s voice was back to being all calm as he took the bandage and carefully started bandaging her hand.

Pedro’s face got serious as he noticed what had truly happened, ,,Are you sure you’re okay Luna? Do you need to go to the hospital?’’

Luna looked up at his worried face, reassuring him with a smile, ,,It’s okay Pedro, I don’t think It’s too big for stitches.’’

When Pedro nodded and left them to go and clean the mess in the front, Luna’s hand was securely bandaged. She looked up at Matteo and tightly hugged him.

,,Thanks, Chico Fresa.’’ He hugged her back, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly. ,,That’s like the 50th time I saved you, Moon Girl, you owe me so much.’’

,,That I do,’’ she nodded, before bringing her lips to his. She had caught him of guard a little bit, which she later has to brag about, but he quickly caught up and brought his hand to her cheek, deepening the kiss. His thumb run over her cheekbone as she leaned into his hand, her own hand going up to his hair while the bandaged one rested on his chest.

He pulled her closer to him and she smiled into the kiss, letting him take control.

,,Okay, everything is cleane-‘’ Pedro stopped in his tracks when he saw what he was about to interrupt, and sighed, shrugging his shoulders as he left the keys of Jam&Roller on the counter.

,,Close up this place when you’re done eating your faces!’’

The One Where She Falls Asleep

Wrote this super quickly although I should be studying for exams…  But nevermind! ♥ :D

Studying for exams was never hard for Matteo Balsano. He could have had multiple tests in one day, school projects plus tons of homework that needed to be handed the very next day, long training after school & hanging out with friends, but he’d still manage to have perfect grades, getting praised by his teacher’s for working hard and being motivated. It was no secret that learning was very easy for him - reading a paper a few times and he’s all prepared. But this…

He didn’t know what made his brain not work properly, maybe it was the annoying ticking of a clock echoing from his kitchen through the apartment, maybe the muffled sound of some Italian telenovela that just happened to play on his TV, or the unstoppable rain that kept on rumbling on the window sills, but he couldn’t concentrate on his English paper sheets. The project wasn’t due till Monday, but he thought he’d do his school work now so he could have a free weekend.

He leaned his back on his bed frame with a tired sigh, running his hand through the messy curls that lied on top of his head. Bringing his eyes up from the paper, he looked around himself and smiled.

A few months ago, he couldn’t wait until he graduated and could finally leave his parent’s place, get away from his too strict & ambitious father, moving into a nice open apartment close to his college. He shared the apartment with Gaston since they both needed to get away from their families, they were best buds and their colleges were only 30 mins apart so it worked perfectly.

Their place was pretty wonderful since they both came from very rich families, they could afford the best in the city of Buenos Aires. They both had their own room with their very own bathroom, there was a guest room for anyone that might want to stay over, big kitchen (since the Italian refused to live in an apartment that has a small kitchen) and a living room that was big enough for all of their friends whenever they decided to come over for a visit or game & movie night. Matteo was happy he finally had a place to call his, although now he’d be so much happier If the letters and words on his sheet would actually memorize in his head.

Trying to focus on his work again, he didn’t even notice the sudden new noises coming from down the hall, and only when he heard a loud thud and soft, innocent curse did he register someone else was in the apartment. His lip curled into a knowing smile as he recognized the voice and a few seconds later, heard the soft steps coming towards his bedroom.

“ Well well, who decided to come to my place uninvited and destroy it?”

He joked, not even looking up from his English paper as he quickly scribbled something in the corner.

“ That stupid chair of yours hurt my toe, Matteo,”  Luna emerged through his open bedroom door, a pint of chocolate ice cream in her hand, spoon in the other and a sad pout on her face. His own face softened at the sight of her because even though she looked beautiful as always, it was obvious something was bugging her and she looked super tired. Her eyes were watery and she sniffed, moving on to the bed next to him. He quickly placed his books and papers on the side of the nightstand, opening his arms for her so she could lean on him and eat the ice cream. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, bringing her closer and kissing the top of her head lovingly. “ Isn’t that my ice cream?” He questioned.

“ I had a really bad day and you have the pint of my favorite ice cream flavor.” She murmured.

“ Tell me, what happened to you moon girl?” He asked her softly, helping her unwrap the plastic of-of the ice cream pint. She took her time with answering, moving her hair from her tired eyes and digging the silver spoon into her ice cream, tasting it slowly.

“ Everything is just too much,” she sighed, licking the spoon before digging it back for another scoop. “ Our teachers want so many stuff from us even Nina can’t keep up with them, Juliana keeps making the training harder and harder, but you already know that and I know she’s stressed over the competition but she doesn’t have to take it out on us, no?” she stop for a while to take another chuck of her ice cream, letting out a satisfied sigh before continuing,

“Sharon-, um, my aunt wants me to be this perfect lady so I won’t ruin her reputation now that I know who I am and I can’t sleep in my new room because it’s too big and the floor cracks a lot, I can’t get a decent amount of sleep there and it all seems to fall on me, you know? It’s too much for me. I just want everything to calm down.”

Matteo listened to her carefully, drawing patterns on her arm with his fingers. “ It will calm down, don’t worry. I know you do your best in school, you’re prepared for all the exams, and about the competition, the new queen of the rink has nothing to worry about, no? You know the steps perfectly and we trained them like fifty times already.” She chuckled at that, still thinking it must be the most ridiculous rumor she had ever heard about herself. Luna - Queen of the rink.

“ Don’t stress over anything, okay? You’ll do wonderfully as always.”

He kissed her forehead when he felt her nod.

“And what am I supposed to do about my new room, I can’t sleep in there.” Luna fed him some of her ice cream, because it’s his ice cream, after all, so she should at least share.

He let her feed him before he licked his lips. “ Well, I think I could help you with that,”

Luna lifted her head from his’s chest, the spoon already in her mouth and eyes wide with surprise, “ Really? How?” He chuckled at her, cause she looked adorable, before his usual grin made his way onto his face.

“ Yes, I could sneak into your room from time to time. I’m sure you’d sleep a lot better with me by your side.” She rolled her eyes at him and hit him weakly in the chest before handing him a spoonful of ice cream again.

“ And how was your day? I interrupted you while you were studying right? Oh god, I’m so sorry, I came here to mumble about my stupid problems while-” he took her hand to stop her and laughed at her,

“No, delivery girl, calm down, I couldn’t study anyways and I still have few days to study for this test, I think I needed a break.”

Luna smiled up at him, setting the empty pint on the nightstand next to the big bed before nuzzling her head into his chest. She was getting a bit tired, and there was something about cuddling with Matteo that always made her sleepy. “ Tell me about your classes then,” she proposed, playing with his fingers resting on his stomach.

Matteo was halfway through the story of telling Luna about today’s incident with this poor scared guy Ambar had lashed out on in his chemistry class when he knew for sure that Luna was asleep. Her responses were shorter and shorter, her voice more tired by each sentence she said and he felt her breathing had calmed down. He smiled to himself, knowing he was right about the fact that she sleeps better when he’s by her side. He had noticed Luna’s basically a koala, she needs to hold onto something to sleep better. An idea popped into his head and his smile widened.  

He decided he’ll let her have her nap, since she needs it and he loves cuddling with her, so he doesn’t mind at all. He ran his fingers through her long curls, twirling it around his fingers lightly, admiring it.

He loved moments like this. Actually, he loved every moment with her, but these calm, quiet moments where there’s only them, no one else to interrupt them, where he can run his fingers along her spine to calm her, brush his fingers through her hair and breath her scent that still made him dizzy with love, feel the light weight of her body pressed against his side - he loved it.

He didn’t even register when he had fallen asleep, but when he woke up, Luna was still tightly wrapped in his arms and the rain still pounded annoyingly behind his window. He blinked a few times, since it got darker in the room, and adjusted his eyes to the clock on his table. It wasn’t that late yet, and he didn’t want to wake his princesa either, and so he took his phone and checked all of his social media, quietly, not to disturb her.

After a while, he felt Luna stir a bit, mumbling something before slowly looking up at him with sleepy eyes.

“ Did you have a nice nap?” He stroked her cheek lightly, putting his phone away, “ I told you you’re going to sleep better with me by your side,”

She smiled at him, stretching her arm above her head. “ It’s not you, I can’t help it, the rain makes me feel tired.” Lazily cuddling up to his side again, Matteo laughed at her, “ The rain huh? I’m pretty sure it’s all because you’re a koala, delivery girl. I’m gonna have to get you a big stuffed animal so you can hold onto it and sleep in your new bedroom. ”

Luna looked up at him through her eyelashes, trying to look serious, but ended up laughing along with him. “ I love stuffed animals, that is actually pretty good idea, strawberry boy,” she admitted, resting her chin on his chest, tracing his jaw with her fingers. ,, But until then, can I stay over?“

The One Where She Falls

My first ever fanfic for tumblr.. please don’t judge me :/ 

Luna Valente is a clumsy person - she falls, a lot. Everyone knows that. She trips over her own feet while casually talking with her friends, bumps into people and knocks things over when distracted, moves her hands around aggressively, often hitting someone in the process. It's apart of her unique personality and her friends love that part about her, it's what makes her Luna, and they wouldn't change a thing about her. (Even though some of them are a little bit more careful when they're near her) 

But even though she can trip over her own feet sometimes, she never falls while skating.  Okay, that's a lie, but she doesn't fall as much as she did when she first came to the Jam&Roller - she learned quickly, never giving up and following her dreams. She got from this wide-eyed girl who has never seen anything like freestyle skating, eager to learn it while her head seemed to be somewhere in the clouds, too stubborn to take a break because: No, I need to learn this steps perfectly.  Falling most of the time didn't stop her at all, and she got from this to a girl who's totally same, yes, still distracted and as much stubborn, but much better and experienced skater who now gets to represent her team as the protagonist in almost every competition the team takes part of. Some might even tell you, in a whisper, scared Ámbar could hear them, that the tiny brunette is the new queen of the rink. (When Matteo first heard about it, a proud grin made his way onto his face, and it only got bigger when the said brunette appeared on the rink.) 

Nevertheless, Luna Valente always gets back up when falling, and when she doesn't, it's serious. Matteo didn't even register what had happened, or what caused it, but he could've predicted that something bad would eventually happen, they weren't practicing on the rink and so the surface wasn't that good for tricks like this. It was a bit windy, too, and even Ámbar slipped once, not that she'd admit it or anything. Their team decided to surprise Juliana with a new trick that they wanted to include in a new choreography, and so they decided to head over to the park to train it. Bad idea. Matteo was standing off to the side talking with Jim and Nico, tying up his skates as Nico prepared his camera so he could record the choreography for them, while the others were warming up and showing each other the steps.

 They weren't quite easy, and Yam had a few problems with technique and one certain step (or maybe it was because of her recent fight with Ramiro that gets in the way of their connection) and so Ramiro demanded that Luna shows the blonde how to do the steps right with him, since she was the one who came up with them. Gaston and Delfi copied them, her getting up on Gaston's shoulders as he held her ankles to keep her steady. The others had to skate towards them, parting on the sides and circle around them. They had kept the space in the middle free, that's where Luna and Matteo do their part of the choreography. 

 Matteo could see them, from the corner of his eye, and he didn't know who had caused it, maybe the wind or Jasmin tripped or someone bumped into Ramiro who lost his balance, who knows, maybe this choreography didn’t even make sense but suddenly a loud thud was heard, followed by few gasps and his little moon was on the floor. His eyes widened and for a second, everything seemed to be still, no one moved a muscle and just watched.

  ''Luna!'' He skated towards her quickly, the others creating a circle around her to check If she's okay.  He lightly pushed his friends to the side to get to her, finally getting to see her better.  She blinked a couple times, frown on her face, her hand automatically going to her forehead. 

 ''Hey, look at me,'' He told her, she was obviously confused, and Matteo supported her head with his left hand, taking her own hand in the other. She was trembling, he noticed, and his heart was beating way too fast than it should.

''Luna do you feel okay?'' 

,,Oh my god!”

 ''Luna!”

He heard their friend's worried voices, they kept on asking questions and lapping for breath from how she had scared them, but he couldn't hear a thing, he was focused on her, on his chica delivery, trying to catch her eye but she just kept closing and opening them, until she didn't open them anymore, and he knew she was unconscious. 

 ''Matteo, she needs to be seen by a doctor,'' Jim touched his shoulder firmly to get his attention, and suddenly he felt as If his brain worked on his own. The only thing he felt was a rush of adrenaline because this was Luna, his Luna, who just fell unconscious in his arms and he needed her to be okay. He gathered her in his arms quickly, running, ignoring Gaston's shout after him. He had no idea what his best friend had shouted, but his mind was clear enough for him to remember to take his car keys from his front pocket before quickly getting to his car not so far away from the park.  On the way to the hospital, the only thought that ran through his head was Is she going to be okay?  She just fell, of course she’s going to be okay. Right?

She had to, this was Luna, he needed her. He tried to calm himself by the fact that there was no blood to be seen, she wasn't bleeding from her head, but isn't it even worse in situations like this? He shook his head to get these thoughts out of his head and parked the car in the spot closest to the hospital building. Getting out of the car, he ran up to her side to pick her up. She seemed to be waking up, her long lashes moved slowly and he swore he heard her whimper. 

 ''It's okay, baby,'' he gently moved a strand of hair away from her face and picked her up in his arms again. ''you're going to be okay, I promise.'' He had no idea If he'd said that for her or to calm himself.

 He didn't make a scene like the people you usually see in these situations do in the books or tv show, bursting through the doors, shouting at everyone to get their attention and save a life, he was quite surprised by his calm actions. Middle-aged nurse walking by the front hall noticed him and quickly called for a doctor. They took Luna from his arms, taking her to some kind of room out of his sight, and he was rushed to the front desk where a kind older woman asked him questions. He answered everything she had asked him, but the only thing he cared about was where did they take Luna and If he could see her. It seemed that as a reward for giving the lady the information she needed, she told him the number of the floor and gave him a warm, calming smile. 

Matteo thanked her, running his hand through the messy hair on his head, but he didn't care at all, his favorite navy button up was probably wrinkled, but he didn't care about that either.  As If the day couldn't be any better, the elevator took hours to get to the 7th floor, and he seriously considered using the stairs. By the time he got to the waiting room, he was alone. He sat in one of the uncomfortable white chairs, and as If being alone triggered everything, he felt his hands were shaking and he felt sick in the stomach. His eyes stung and he had to blink to keep the tears from forming in the corner of his eyes. His head rested in his hands, and his foot impatiently tapped the floor. Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

''Any news? Is she okay?'' Gaston wrote. 

 Matteo sighed loudly and typed quickly. ''I don't know yet, I'm waiting for the doctor. I'll call you later.''  

He remembered he couldn't even call Miguel or Monica since they've gone to Europe with Luna's aunt for a very rushed and important business things that couldn't be put on a hold.  His mind was clouded with her, and only her. Did she hit her head that badly? Is she even going to remember him? Remember them?  Matteo kept replaying all the memories that they have shared in the past 3 years of knowing each other, from the moment they met in Cancun, to her becoming his favorite person to talk with, from the teasing to the laughing with her and the nicknames they made for each other, calling each other names and making fun of each other, mostly him making fun of her and her trying to destroy his ego. (She always said someone has to do it, otherwise it'd grow until even he wouldn't be able to control it) He thought about how their friendship deepened and how they fell in love, all of their dates & conversations meant just for them, the talks when they're alone without their friends, him letting down the facade of chico fresa and her being the most supportive and serious he'd ever seen her. He had always liked her from the moment that they've met, he'd always thought she was the most beautiful girl (he told that to Gaston on her first day of school, watching her off to the side, and he told him about her beauty a numerous times after that, and of course, later he'd told her) and he didn't mean just her looks, (even though he thinks the word gorgeous had a true meaning only after she appeared in his life and he could see and feel what the word means) she is beautiful on the inside, too. She is so, so beautiful. The purest personality he has ever seen. She is a sun, yes, she is like a ray of sunshine, and her parents must've been geniuses because Sol suits her personality so well, but she is also Luna, and that is the funniest yet unique thing. She is loyal and stubborn, loving & loud and he loves her.  As to make him feel any worse, his mind kept replaying him also the bad times, the times when they argued, times when she couldn't even look at him without feeling angry, times when he felt like she was too much, even though it was just his angry feelings towards his dad boiling up in him, and her innocence and her being so pure had annoyed him. He remembers the hurt and the tears, her voice cracking and his voice loud for her to hear her clearly, he remembers the breakup and how they both felt so dead inside. 

Matteo shook his head. They were fine, they learned from their mistakes and they're fine than ever. But still, the guilt for his (and hers) mistakes in the past was still there.  Luckily, a middle-aged woman with dark eyes came out of the room, unreadable expression on her face. He got up, almost too quickly, and walked all the way to her, trying to peek into the room behind her.

  ''How is she?'' He asked, his voice rough, and he had to swallow to get rid of the lump in his throat. The lady before him gave him a small soothing smile. 

''Miss Valente is alright, no need to worry. Although I'd like to speak with her parents, I assume you're not related.'' She gave him a knowing smile and the weight fell off his shoulders. He needs to see her.

 ''No, we're not related, her parents can't be here now, they're aboard. I'm pretty sure Luna has my name written in the papers If anything would ever happen or something'' He waved his hand, hoping she'd tell him that he can see her, he needs to know she's fine. The lady let out a humming noise, shuffling through the papers before landing on the specific page.

 ''Ah, Matteo Balsano, is it? I see it now. '' She shuffled through the papers once more, taking a breath before explaining him the situation.

,,Miss Valente hit her head pretty hard, she was very lucky she didn't crack her skull or made any damages to her brain.'' Matteo breathed out a relieved sigh, but frowned a little.

 ''She fell unconscious tho, isn't that a bad thing?'' He asked.

'' It might happen that while hitting their head, people pass out, forget what happened before they hit their head, what's more important is the time after their head is hit. There can be damages that don't have to be visible, such as cerebral hemorrhage, but you don't have to worry about that, judging by Miss Valente's injury, I'd say there's a minimal chance that could happen.''

 '' But, it can still happen?'' He blinked, wanting nothing more but for Luna to be okay.

The doctor sighed, ''Yes, but Matteo, I assure you she's okay, Luna's a strong girl.'' Smiling at him, she looked down at her papers again and quickly added. '' As I said, the most dangerous time is after the incident, she needs to absolutely rest and nothing more, no hard activities and quick movements, she might feel a lot tired for awhile, and you need to make sure she sleeps a lot. She's ready to go home now, '' Matteo nodded, paying attention to every word the doctor said to him. 

''You can go see her'' The doctor nodded her head to the room, before saying her bye with a small smile.  Matteo ran his hand through his hair probably for the 15th time that day, taking in a deep breath before stepping into the room. 

There she was, sitting in the chair in front of the doctor's table, holding few sheets of papers. She must have heard him, as she looked up at him with a smile, her eyes lighting up happily. 

''Hey, there's my chica delivery,'' He chuckled, glad to finally see her. He hugged her, carefully, scared he might hurt her. Her arms wrapped around his middle as she giggled.

 ''Chico Fresa, thank god, I thought you'll leave me here forever'' He crouched before her, putting his hands on her knees while he searched her eyes.  

 ''How are you feeling? You scared me to death back there..'' He told her, smiling at her with sad eyes when she pouted, She must've seen the tears in his eyes.

  ''I'm sorry, I, -''

She took a breath, and he drew patterns on her knees with his fingers, letting her know she didn't do anything wrong at all, that it's not her fault.  

''I don't really know what happened. Um, I was helping with the steps and then, everything was a blur.'' Her hand went to her forehead as she tried to remember, her face scrunched in this cute way that always makes him laugh.

 ''Don't think about it okay? We don't want that pretty head of yours to hurt anymore. It wasn't your fault.''  She looked at him through her fingers, smiling at him slowly when she noticed the worry in his eyes.

 '' I'm really sorry I got you worried, Matteo, '' He helped her stand up, kissing her forehead gently before taking her hands. ''Don't be sorry, for anything, '' cupping her cheek, he made her look into his eyes, so she could see that he meant it before he kissed her quickly.

 ''Now let's get you home, little moon, you have to rest and I need to make a call to your parents.'' He brushed her knuckles with his fingers lightly, and she could hear the slight fear in his voice and she laughed slightly, leaning into his side.

 ''It won't be that bad, I'm sure.'' He chuckled at that, leading her through the doors and out of the building. 

''So, now that I have the excuse to rest all day, watch movies and eat, will you stay over and rest with me?'' she asked sleepily.

 '' Why do you ask when you already know the answer, Chica Delivery?'' He told her softly.  

She couldn't wait to be home already.
