Ivy walked towards her apartment, a bounce in her step and a lingering smile. It's been 2 days since she and Matteo came back from their little getaway and everything felt amazing. She was still sore and flushed from all the séx they had, even her friends had commented on how she was glowing, they had even suspected she was seeing someone. She had confessed she was seeing someone, but didn't specify who because she wanted to wait to tell her family first.

As she reached her apartment door, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion when she saw Raphael waiting outside but quickly flashed him a smile when their eyes met. "Hey, what a surprise! Why didn't you tell me you were coming over or I would've came home earlier." She said cheerfully.

Her grin quickly turned into a frown when she noticed the serious look on his face. "We need to talk." He said, his voice grim. "Can we go inside and talk?"

"Of course! Come in." Ivy replied, unlocking the the door and stepping inside. Her confusion started turning into worry. She had known Raphael for a while now and she knew him very well. She had never seen him worried or so serious about something.

"Do you need something to drink first, coffee, tea, water...?" She asked but Raphael quickly shook his head no.

"Come sit down darling, I have a few things to tell you."

"Ok now your starting to really worry me Raph, what's going on did something bad happen? Is it my parents? Are they ok?" She asked as she took a seat next to him on the couch. She placed a hand on heart, trying to calm her racing heart.

Raphael pressed his lips together in a grim line before he spoke, "I know about you and that man... Matteo. Your fathers friend."

Ivy felt her heart stop and the blood drain from her face, "W-what?" She stuttered, "but... how?"

Raphael dropped his head forward, closed his eyes and let out a sigh before reaching inside his pocket and pulling out a CD. He handed it over to Ivy, "I think this belongs to you."

At first Ivy was confused but then looked down at the CD and saw her and Matteo's initials and immediately realized what it was. She let out a gasp, she looked at Raphael horrified and shocked. "What the fúck Raphael! How did you get this?! Did you watch it?!" She screamed.

Raphael put a hand to calm her down, "Let me explain."

Ivy didn't reply but sat back and folded her arms, indicating that she was going to let him talk.

"I found this at your fathers office. A woman, I think her name was Vanessa was inside your fathers office and was acting weird and suspicious when I walked in on her messing around your fathers desk. When she left, I had a bad feeling about her and went to check if anything was missing and found the CD." He said, nodding toward the CD, "I did watch it, but only the first few seconds and once I knew what it was I shut it off. Trust me darling the last thing I want to watch is you with another man." He grimaced.

Ivys eyes widened in disbelief and disgust, "That fúcking bítch!" She screeched, "That bítch had the audacity to steal something that didn't belong to her and go and give it to my dad! What the fùck is wrong with that woman?! I'm going to kill her!" She said, standing up about to walk out and drive to Vanessa's place and rip her head off.

Raphael quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled down to take a seat, "calm down. I know you want to hurt her but you can do that at another time. Right now, you need to think of a way to tell your father about you and Matteo before Vanessa or anyone else who knows does. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but trust me I think it would be better if he heard it from you first before anyone else." He said, seriously.

Ivy put her hands on her face and groaned, "You're right." She took a deep breath before looking at Raphael, "I'm going to go and tell Matteo about this and then we're going to go and tell my father. There just no point in avoiding it any longer and I don't want to take any risks."

Getting up, she grabbed her bag and car keys off of the table before looking back at Raphael. Her eyes softened with affection as she looked at him, "Thankyou Raph, you don't know how much this means to me. I owe you." She said, giving him a soft smile.

Raphael grinned back at her, "Anything for you. And hey, if you ever leave that idiot I'm always here, ready and willing to make a sex tape." He joked, well... kind of.

Ivy groaned, smacking him with her purse. "Shut up." She said, rushing out, "now I gotta go but you can stay here as long as you want, make yourself out home. Bye!" She yelled before closing the door to her apartment.

Matteo was waiting for Ivy to arrive. She had texted him moments ago telling him that she was coming over and they needed to talk. That immediately set him on edge, no message from a girlfriend telling her boyfriend they needed to talk would make any man feel good.

Suddenly Matteo heard loud knocks on his door and quickly rushed to open it. Pulling the door open, he opened his mouth to greet Ivy, "Iv-"

But his words were cut short by someone punching him in the face.
