~ Valeria's POV ~

I woke up by the sound of my alarm clock, I turned it off, let out a groan, got off the bed, fixed it and do my routine. I walked out of my bathroom wearing my office wear.

Grabbed my phone, purse, walked over to the kitchen, made myself something to eat. Once I am done, I grabbed a mug and poured myself some coffee.

Once I am done eating, I cleaned up a bit, grabbed my purse, walked out of the house to my car, stepped in and I am on my way to work.

A few minutes later, I arrived at work, I scanned my card, greeted Wilson, walked in the building to the elevator. I press the button that my floor is in, once I got there, I walked over to my office and set my purse down on the desk.

Took my phone out of my purse, set it down on the desk, put my purse away, sit down on the office chair and reply some emails. Once I am done, I got off the chair, put on my lab coat, and put my phone in the coat pocket.

Walked out of my office to Victoria's, knocked on the door, heard her said " Come in. "

I opened the door, looked at her and said " Good morning Vic. "

She looked up from her computer, looked at me and said " Hey Val, come in. "

I walked in, closed the door behind me, walked over to her desk, sat down on the living chair she has in front of her desk. She looked at me and said " How was the fair with Alberto. "

" It was good. "

" Did you had fun? "

" Yeah. Alberto had a really good time. "

" That's nice of you to take him. He really misses you. "

" I missed him too. "

" Whenever I go visit, he would always ask for you. "

" I'm so happy that I get to spend time with him again. Well, I better get to work. "

" Okay. "

I walked out of her office, walked to my station, played some music with low medium volume, and get started on designing.

It is almost time for Vincenzo to pick me up so we can go to lunch together. I took my phone out of my lab coat, set it down on the desk. Set my coat down on the office chair and walked over to my office.

Grabbed my purse, walked over to my mirror, looked at myself to see if I look good. Walked out of my office to Victoria's office, I knocked on the door and heard her said to come in.

I opened the door, she looked up at me from her computer and said " What's up? "

" I'm going to go out for lunch with Vincenzo. "

She nod her head and said " Okay, have fun. "

" I will. " I walked out of her office.

I walked down the hallway, saw Vincenzo walking to my office and I said " Hey. "

He turned around, looked at me, smiled and said " Hey babe. "

I walked over to him, wrapped my arms around his neck, I kissed his lips, he kissed me back and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled away from the kiss, looked at me and said " You ready? "

" Yeah, let's go. "

We walked out of the building to his car, we stepped in, he kissed my lips, I kissed him back and we are on our way to this restaurant.

**

Vincenzo dropped me off at work, I kissed his lips, he kissed me back, I pulled away from the kiss, looked at him and said " Thanks for the lunch. "

" Of course. "

We kissed one more time, he walked away, I walked over to my office and put my purse away, I get started on working on the clothes. I saw Victoria, she looked at me and said " Hey, how was lunch? "

" It was good. "

" Hi girls. "

We turned around, saw our Abuela ( Grandma ) we smiled at her and said " Hi Abuela. "

We gave her a hug, pulled away, she looked at us and said " How are my girls doing? "

" Good. "

Abuela looked at Victoria and said " How are you and Adriano? "

" We're doing good. "

Abuela looked at me and said " How are you and what's his name? "

" Vincenzo. "

" Right. I like Sandro better. "

" Abuela.."

All my family loves Alessandro. He, Adriano and my siblings grew up together. So it's a little weird for them to see me dating someone other than Alessandro.

" Christina. "

Abuela turned around, smiled when she saw Adriano, and said " Adriano. "

He walked over to her, they hugged and he said " How are you? "

They pulled away, Abuela looked at him and said " I am good mijo, how are you? "

" I'm good. * Looked at Valeria * Hi Val. "

I smiled at him and said " Hi Adriano. "

He and Victoria kissed, they pulled away and Abuela said " Are you treating my nieta ( granddaughter) right? "

" Of course I am. "

" You better. "

Abuela's phone rang, she took it out of her purse, looked at the caller ID and said " I gotta answer this, excuse me. " She walked away.

Adriano looked at me and said " How was the fair with Alberto? "

" It was good. We had a good time. "

" Raffaele told me that Alberto tricked you and Sandro into going togethe- "

Victoria let out a gasp, looked at me and said " You didn't tell me Sandro came with you two. Oh my God, was it awkward? "

Abuela walked back to us and said " I'm going to get going, * Looked at Adriano * it's nice seeing you again. "

Adriano smiled at her and said " It's nice seeing you too. Drive safely. "

" I will. "

She looked at my sister and I and said " I'll see you two soon. I love you. "

" I love you too. " We said.

She gave us each a kiss on our foreheads, Victoria and I said " Bye Abuela. "

She walked away, Victoria looked at me and said " You didn't answer me. Was it awkward? "

" Come on, let's start working. "

Victoria was gonna say something but Adriano interrupted her and said " Come on babe, let's go get some coffee. "

She looked at him, nod her head and said " Okay, * Looked at Valeria * I'll be back. "

" Okay. "

They walked away and I continued working on the clothes.

I am here at home, walked over to my bedroom, set my purse down on the living chair, got out my phone, and charged it.

Walked over to my closet, grabbed my outfit, walked to the bathroom and do my routine. Walked out of the bathroom wearing this:

I walked over to the nightstand, unplugged my phone, walked over to my home office, sat down on the office chair, unlock my phone and post a picture of me Vincenzo on Instagram.

I set my phone on the desk, opened the drawer, grabbed my sketch book, and get started on sketching designs.

~ Alessandro's POV ~

I am here sitting down on the living room couch going through my Instagram, refreshed my page and saw a picture that Vincenzo posted:

( A/N: This is not Valeria. )

I saw that Vincenzo tagged Valeria, with curiosity I went to her profile, saw that it's not on private and saw her recent photo she posted.

( A/N: This is not Valeria. )

My jaw clenched, seeing them together really bothers me, I don't know what's going on with me.

I let out a sigh, run my fingers through my hair, looked at her pictures, stopped at one of them, I admire the picture. I accidentally liked the picture which made my eyes widened.

" Shit. " I said to myself and quickly unliked the picture.

The thing that is weird is that Valeria has pictures of her and Vincenzo and he has only one picture of her and him.

When we were dating we had a lot of pictures together, I wonder why Vincenzo only posted one picture?

I exit out of Instagram and get ready for guys night.

~ Valeria's POV ~

I am done sketching, I am in love with how they came out. My phone rang, I looked at the caller ID, it's Özlem.

Me: Hey!

Özlem: Hey, what are you doing?

Me: Finished sketching some designs. What about you?

Özlem: I just finished doing some errands.

Me: Wanna come over and have a movie night?

Özlem: Sure, I'm on my way.

Me: Drive safely.

Özlem: I will.

The call ended, I got the stuff ready for the movie night, a few minutes later, I heard the doorbell rang. I walked over to the front door, opened it, looked at Özlem, smiled at her and said " Oh great, you brought some pizza. "

She walked in the house, looked at me and said " What's a movie night without pizza? "

I locked the door behind her and said " Right. "

We walked over to the movie room, sat down on the couch like bed and picked out a movie to watch. We ate some pizza, I looked at Özlem and said " This is some good pizza. "

She nod her head and said " It really is. "

I set my pizza down on the plastic plate, dried my hands on the napkin, grabbed my phone and go on Instagram. Took a sip out of my drink, go to Vincenzo's story and almost spit out my drink at what I saw.

( A/N: Please ignore the writing on the picture. Thank you! )

Vincenzo and Alessandro. Of course they are together, it's guys night. To be honest, when I found out that they are friends I was shocked. I never thought I'll be seeing Alessandro again after what happened.

" You okay? " Özlem said.

I nod my head and said " Yeah, I'm fine. "

I exit out of Instagram, locked my phone, set it down on the coffee table, and watched the movie.

**

We are done having our movie night and now it's time go to sleep. We cleaned up, walked over to my room to my closet to find something to wear. Once we found what to wear, we walked to my bedroom.

Özlem gasp, I looked at her in confusion and said " What? "

" That's a really cute stuffed animal. "

I looked at the stuffed animal that Alessandro got for me at the fair and said " Thanks. "

" Where did you get it? "

" From the fair with Alberto. "

She nod her head and said " I'm going to go get ready for bed. Good night. "

" Good night. "

She walked out of my bedroom, I got ready for bed, lay down, got out my phone, go on Instagram and go back to Vincenzo's story. Go to the picture of him and Alessandro and saw that he tagged him.

With curiosity I went to Alessandro's account, looked at his pictures and looked at his recent photo.

( A/N: Use a ❤️ as a like button for his photo. )

I couldn't help myself but to check him out, I accidentally liked his photo, my eyes widened and said " Oh shit. "

Quickly unliked his photo, exit out of Instagram, let out a sigh, locked my phone, set it on the nightstand, looked up at the ceiling and let out another sigh.

I looked at the stuffed animal Alessandro got for me that is sitting on the living chair, looked at the ceiling again and heard my phone dinged.

Grabbed my phone, saw that Vincenzo send me a message:

Vincenzo: Hey babe, just to let you know that I just got home.

Me: Alright my love. Good night, I love you.

Vincenzo: I love you too, good night.

I put my phone back on the nightstand and fell asleep.

~ Alessandro's POV ~

I am here in bed on my Instagram looking through my feed, saw that I got a notification, I go to it and saw that Valeria liked my recent photo.

I sat up, tapped on it and saw that she quickly unliked it. I was debating to text her but I don't want to make things awkward so I just left it alone.

Put my phone on the nightstand, looked up at the ceiling, let out a sigh, looked at the stuffed animal she got me from the fair that is sitting down on the living chair, looked back at the ceiling for a while before going to sleep.

She liked my photo. I wonder if she saw that I liked her photo as well.

( A/N: Have you guys ever accidentally liked someone's photo? )
