They made a deal. A deal to spend a month in the same house together.
But a month might be too much time to let go of someone.
-Isabella Rose is a woman that knows how to smile through her trauma.
She just ran away from her own wedding and is now...
"Tanya there is a ball tonight and you have to come" I say through the phone. She screams so loud out of excitement.
"I need to find a dress...wait I don't have a date" she says.
"I am going to find one for you don't worry, just find a dress and meet me at Valentinos" I say hanging up the phone.
I run outside to find Matteo. I knock on his door. "Come in"
"Matteo you are going to the ball tonight right?" I ask.
He shakes his head. "No I don't like attending stuff like that" he says not interested.
"But Tanya needs a date." I say.
"Sorry I'm not a ball guy" he says.
"Alright I will call Oliver he can take her" I say taking out my phone from my back pocket. "Wait..." he says. I raise my eyebrow.
"Maybe it isn't so bad going, I have nothing to do anyway" he says.
"Are you and Oliver mad at each other?" I ask because lately he's been ignoring him. And as soon as I bring him up Matteo tries to change the subject or walk away. "Yeah we aren't talking at the moment" he says. I do not push him further, he will tell me when he is ready.
"Alright then I'm telling Tanya you are her date" I say as he nods.
Great now I need a dress. I walk into Valentinos room. A big black dress is hanging on his wardrobe. It's beautiful. Sparkles everywhere. He is leaning against a table watching my reaction.

My jaw is on the floor. "It's yours for tonight" he says.
"Val it's beautiful!" I say touching the ruffles.
"You have great taste huh?" I say walking up to him. His eyes follow me.
"I can't wait to put it on, thank you so much" I say planting a kiss on his cheek.
"I can't wait to take it off of you" he says with a smirk on his face. I laugh. He really knows how to make me smile.
"See you at 7" he says as I take the dress and run to my room to get ready. This will be such a fun night.

It takes me three hours to be done. And this whole time I've had a weird feeling. A lump in my stomach. It feels like something is going to go wrong. Maybe I'm overthinking.
Valentino knocks on the door. I open it. Hands in his pockets he is looking at me. Not finding any words.
He swallows. "Amore you look... god... you look enchanting" he says not once taking his eyes off of me. I hug him. "What is it love?" He asks knowing something is wrong.
