Explain To Best Friend Part 4: Digging Her Own Grave

As the trio reach Rome they slowly disembark the plane and walk over to their luggage carousel before exiting the arrival gate and was greeted by their car rental serviceman before they all head over to the car they rented that was parked at the main entrance of Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.

"Here's your key mam and have a great day at Rome," said the man as he hands over the car key to Skylar as Stella busy putting Marius in his car seat.

"Here Lia, you drive while I seat with Baby Mar," said Skylar as she hands over the key to Stella and hops at the back passenger seat with Marius.

"Okay, let's go. Wait, do you want to eat dinner first or settle in the house first?" asked Stella as she uses her seat belt.

"Up to you" reply Skylar as she plays with Marius' finger.

"Okay then, let's go and eat our dinner since it's 6.30 pm and I bet by the time we reach home it'll be around 7.30 pm, not to forget we need to get freshen up and so on so let's go and eat our dinner first," said Stella as she drove out from the airport and hit the freeway.

"Okay, let's eat before we head back" reply Skylar.

Almost an hour later, Stella, Marius and Skylar exit their car and head towards the local restaurant that's not far from their house. They dine and have fun chatting while savouring their food while Stella busies giving food to Marius and attend to his needs before hers.

"Specially made by the sous chef to our lovely couple," said the handsome waiter, out of the blue while put the plate in front of them in the middle of the table.

"What?" said Stella as she looks puzzled while Skylar raises her eyebrow looking at the waitress.

"We didn't order this," said Stella as she truly perplexed at that moment as she quickly gives Marius his food.

"It's the special dish that made by our sous chef personally for our lovely couple that dines here tonight" explain the waiter again.

"Oh, okay. Sorry I lost you for a minute there, can you please tell you sous chef thank you" said Stella as she wipes Marius's lips with a baby wipes.

"Tell him that the food is excellent," said Skylar as she takes a bite of the food that was made by the sous chef.

"Most welcome mam and I will inform the sous chef immediately" reply the waiter as he walks away from them and towards the kitchen area.

A few minutes later the sous chef come out from the kitchen and walk towards Stella, Marius and Skylar's table that was located next to the window.

"Do you enjoy your food here ladies?" asked the chef in his Italian accent making both Stella and Skylar look at them including Marius.

"Yes, the food is marvellous and are you the sous chef?" asked Stella as she gives her honest feedback.

"Yes, indeed I am. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier my name is Daniel and its good to hear that you love the food" reply the sous chef.

"It was delicious and thank you for the special dish, Chef Daniel," said Skylar as she smiles at the sous chef who smiles back.

"No, no. It was my pleasure to serve two mother's enjoying their date with a toddler. It reminds me of my aunty and her family" said the sous chef.

"No, no we are not a couple, she's my best friend and this cutie pie is her son," said Skylar quickly to Daniel while Stella looks at her quizzical facial expression.

"Oh," said Daniel a little high as if he discovers something magical before he quickly changes his facial expression to a normal conversational expression.

Skylar facial expression speaks volume as she looks at Daniel with her eyes that was partly closed in a few seconds as she squinted at his reaction before faking her laugh as if she's unaware of what happened.

"Yea, we are here just to have a short 3 days vacation trip just to get away from our hectic schedule," said Skylar looking innocent yet believing.

"Oh, that's great. Anyway, Rome have good food and beautiful places to visit so have fun in Rome. Talk to you ladies another time and enjoy Rome to the fullest" said Daniel before he turns around and heads over to the kitchen.

"He's cute but not my type," said Skylar as she flips her hair before taking a bite of her food.

"Neither do I" reply Stella as she takes a bite of her food.

"You are single babe, you can have fun and no one will say anything about that," said Skylar just reminding her best friend about her single life.

"I am but not any more as I have my own responsibilities and I have a very cute son now so I won't do stupid stuff that will affect my son now or in the future," said Stella truthfully as she takes another bite of her food.

Meanwhile, Marius was banging at the baby chair trying to reach out for the apple that was seated near him but he couldn't reach it due to the high baby chair tray that holds him back from grabbing his favourite apple so the only thing he good at is babbling and banging.

"Okay, okay. Wait for a second baby, mummy will give your favourite apple to you. Here, now settle down" said Stella as she pushes the apple towards Marius and hands him one slice of apple in which he happily munches on.

"He's so hectic, how can you know what he wants and what he didn't?" asked Skylar as she finishes her food.

"You can blame it on my mother's intuition" reply Stella while smirking at Skylar before chuckle.

"Intuition my ass, you just got lucky that this champ is nice to you and only you," said Skylar as she rolls her eyes.

"That's when you are wrong," said Stella as she finished her food.

"Huh? Why so" asked Skylar as she sips her wine.

"Marius calms down whenever Luciano holds him" reply Stella in a small voice while trying to keep herself busy with Marius who was focusing on munching his apple.

"What did you just blur out," said Skylar as she slowly put down her champagne glass while looking at Stella with her suspicious eyes.

"Hmm, huh, you okay? Why you stop drinking, here, drink it finish" said Stella pretending to look lost and puzzled while handing over Skylar's champagne glass to her.

"Stop playing dumb, you better tell me. Why Marius would be calm when he's with Luciano? Since when did he ever be with him? Or a matter of fact did Luciano ever hold Marius?" asked Skylar as she moves slowly leaning towards Stella who still plays dumb at her question.

"Hmm, you okay? Do you need anything?" asked Stella while leaning forward while whispering to Skylar.

"Fine, play dumb all you want. I'll just call Lucian and told him that we are now in Rome" said Skylar as she fishes out her phone.

"Okay, okay. I'll tell you. Jeez, calm down woman" said Stella as she brings her eyebrow together before she slightly pouts her lips then she leans forward.

"Well I did skip the part where he was standing inside his bedroom with the half baked doctor and then Marius was crying at that moment so he asked the maid to give Marius to him in which makes Marius happy as his fake crying turn into a happy babble and he was producing noises that no one understands except for he himself, am I right baby boy, mummy is right baby boy," said Stella in which ended with her using her baby tone with Marius while slightly pinch her son's nose which makes him giggle more.

"Why am I getting the vibe of a woman with her son running away from her husband who is chasing after her just because he worries for his Donna and Son's safety while the Donna is having a blast playing cat and mouse game," said Skylar as she makes her own deduction while pointing her fingers from Stella to Marius to her disappointment both mother-son duo ignore her completely.

"Jeez, you are getting better and better at ignoring people. You two are really two peas in a pot, like mother like son" murmur Skylar as she bottoms up her champagne.

Stella was smirking at Skylar attitude while playing with Marius who is still hyper, so they quickly clean up themselves and head over to the counter, they pay their bills and exit the restaurant.

Along the way to their parents' house, both Skylar and Stella talk about their own company in which they both wanted to expand their company to a new branch just an overview of what they actually wanted.
