Riccardo De Luca

"Can you pretend to be my boyfriend for one night?" - honestly, I still don't know what came over me when I said that. But after the third “are you alone again?” and “when is the wedding?” I was ready for anything.

He looked at me with that slight squint that always makes my fingers tremble. Riccardo De Luca. Everything about him, starting with his name, sounded like a scene from an Italian film. He sighed and said:

• What will I get in return? — Pie. Cherry. Homemade.
• Hmm. Add some coffee and we're in business.

Now we have two days to figure out how we "fell in love", "met" and why I didn't tell my parents about such an ideal guy earlier.
