“You won't see me coming,” Orazio tuts.
“Heads up, we are on our way to you, so in your face,” she giggles.
“I can't wait to meet this Rosa,” Orazio exhales sharply and I know he is smiling, “She has a nice ring to her.” he clears his throat, “My ray of sunshine, I'll be waiting for you love,” he chimes and ends the call.
I toss the phone on the dashboard and grunt.
“I wish I had a friend like that,” Rosaline mumbles.
“Be careful what you wish for,” I scoff.
“If you're tired of him, you can send him to me, I can make do with some real friendship.”
“No bloody way I'm sending Orazio to you, the guy is a manwhore.”
“Someone called me a slut a few times, I think we can manage,” she bites her lips to hold in her giggle.
“My despicable personality is beginning to rub off on you,” I smile and she laughs softly, “I thought you and Evelyn had something,” I point out.
“See where it got me, hideous dresses,” she pouts and now it's my turn to laugh.
“I will tell her that,” I threaten.
“I'll kill you,” she stabs her finger at me, and she exhales, “I guess we have something there, but we need to discuss her fashion sense, it's a matter of emergency.”
I nod, “What do you want for breakfast?”
“Burger and fries,” she shrieks.
“Is that even breakfast food?”
“Any food can be breakfast food, and it's perfect for a road trip,” she shrugs.
“A road trip?”
“Yeah, isn't that what this is?” She puckers, “Although we need music,” she looks at the radio.
“Knock yourself out.”
“I'll pick some for Orazio and Evelyn too,” she smiles giddily.
That smile on her face is a weapon. Fuck me, because If she wants me to exchange my car for a burger truck this instant, I won't even bat an eye .
Now I know why my attraction to her is so strong it has me in a chokehold. It's not just fucking her that I had been craving. It's having her in every way possible. It's knowing her from the inside out. What makes her smile and cry, what evokes her laughter, what she is passionate about and what brings her aloofness to the limelight. What she dreams about and what nightmares keep her awake.
I smile, finally grasping the reason for my quiet mind. It's the same with a traveler who just found a home after years of wandering.
She is home for my wandering mind.
A million ways to get fucked over by life and this is mine?
Fuck me.
I'm in love with her.
