So...

------------------Age 8

"I'm going to get you, Lovi! Come back here!" I shouted chasing the Italian around the garden of my parents' house.

"Never-a, ragazza!" he shouted running back inside. I smirked, "Lovi! I have tomatoes!" This caught his attention and he ran straight back outside to me and tackled me on the ground, "Give-a me the-a tomatoes!"

I flipped us over so I was sitting on his stomach, "I didn't actually have tomatoes, Lovi, I just said that so I could catch you. Now, I get to dress you up!"

-----------------Age 17

"Hey, Lovi!" I squeaked as he came up the stairs to our shared house due to the two of us being roommates.

"Don't-a call me Lovi!" was the only reply I got before he walked off and up to his room. This hurt me as I started to develop a crush on him. I followed him upstairs, "Fine, be like that, Mr Vargas," I replied before walking back downstairs and into the kitchen. I decided to make myself some lunch as it was that time of day.

---------------------

A few hours later, I was sitting in my room. Bored out of my mind. Usually, I'd have been playing a game with Lovino but he didn't want to talk to me so, that was out of the question. I sighed and flopped onto my bed, just as I heard a knock on the door, "Ragazza, can I-a come in?"

I sighed, "What do you want Mr Vargas?" I replied, putting emphasis on his name.

"I-a wanted to apologise, Bella."

"Come in then."

I then heard the sound of the door opening and I soon felt myself being comforted, "Listen, Bella, I-a didn't mean to upset you by telling you to-a stop calling me 'Lovi' it's-a just that I-a get-a flustered when you-a do. Do you-a know why?" I smiled slightly, "I think I have an idea, Lovino-"

"Lovi. You can call me Lovi again."

"I have an idea Lovi, I think you have a crush on me," my face lit up as I said this and I noticed his doing the same.

"Bella, what do you-a mean?"

"Can I test my theory?"

He nodded, his face red. I smiled and leaned in, kissing him. His eyes widened before he pushed me down on the bed kissing me back.

"You're-a right, Bella. I-a love you. Ti amo."

"I love you too, Lovi."
