Group chat

Giorgio is teasing Mariella by commenting ‘finally not single n miserable’ on her social media post when she actually posted a photo of herself with Leonardo grinning at the camera standing beside her, with a lipstick mark on his cheek, and he got a reply from Mariella telling him to shut up.

“Gio! Did you wait for long?”

Giorgio looks up to see Martin holding a tray of food that looks like something fried and coated with a layer of melted cheese, and the familiar pink milky drink at the side. The blonde smiles and he just shakes his head, while Martin gets comfortable.

Giorgio sips on his chocolate milkshake, and he shows his phone screen to Martin, “have you seen this?”

“Oh wow! There are already so many likes!” and Martin takes his own phone out and is laughing when he sees notifications from their group chat where the rest are congratulating Leonardo, and Rizzo tells Leonardo to be careful since he might have Giorgio as his brother in law, and that’s when Martin suddenly lights up and asks, “Gio! You and Mariella should really join our group chat!”

“Group chat?”

“Erm, if you are worried about Rizzo, it’s fine! He is just like that, always hating people because he is actually worried about us, you know? Father figure of the group.”

“If he is the father figure, then Alfonso is the mother figure?”

“Yeah!” and Giorgio immediately dm Martin his phone number, and he grins at his screen and starts adding him into their group chat, “what about Mariella?”

“Maybe let Leonardo add her himself.”

“Right.”

“Hey,” Giorgio looks up from his screen to see Martin points to his plate, “eat up, or mom will be mad if we don’t have time to finish our lunch just because we are busy texting.”

The blonde giggles and he continues eating, with Martin looking on with a fond look in his face while sipping on his milkshake.
