The rest of the week went by so fast, Isabella hadn’t even noticed it was already Saturday when she had a chance to speak to her friend Cristina and tell her about living with Christopher.

Skimming through cereals and walking down the cookie aisle, Isabella took out her phone and dialed her friend’s number.

“Are you sitting down?” was the first thing Isabella asked when Cristina had answered the call.

“I hate when people say that. It gets me all nervous. I can say ‘yes I am sitting down’ and maybe I am not, you can’t see me so what’s the point…”

“Jesus, Cristina. You are in a good mood today” Isabella’s eyes went wide. She pursed her lips and examined a packet of chocolate cookies. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing, nothing I am just very tired. I keep going back and forth from Milan to Rome. I am just so happy it’s Saturday today. I can relax… but then you call and say that…” Cristina said, her voice playful now.

“Sorry, you know me. The drama queen” Isabella giggled and went on. “I’m just going to say it. Wait. I should have called you up and just blurted out the news, plain and simple. Can I hang up and do it again?” Isabella played along.

“Just say it, Isabella for the love of God”

“I am living with Christopher” she told her friend.

Plain and simple and so incredibly fantastic, she thought her stomach jittery.

When had she ever lived with a man? Never. She had always lived on her own, Isabella had always been put off the idea of sharing her house with someone.

Salvo had been living in her hometown, while she had been in Rome living with a friend.

“It’s easier for me to live in the city, for work” Isabella had always told her boyfriends.

And even when one of her exes was living in Rome, they had never taken the big step to move in somewhere together and leave their friends’ apartments.

“Oh, wow. Isabella, it’s a big step… huge for you” Cristina pointed out, her voice so surprised, the news had been unexpected.

She knows me too well.

“It really isn’t” Isabella shrugged it off.

It really wasn’t. It didn’t feel like a big thing. It didn’t feel weird or annoying or unnatural to share her things with Christopher. It was absolutely fantastic to live with him, so amazing Isabella couldn’t stop smiling.

She explained to her what had brought her there- in Christopher’s house in Maida Vale- and she told Cristina their days together, how Christopher worked out and went out to the MB facility to run on the simulator, while she was out with Hillary most of the times, working on the blog and preparing the next race in Rome. They would only see each other in the evenings.

“Is he okay now?” Cristina asked, wondering if Christopher’s physical conditions had improved since he was back on his schedule.

“He’s doing great” Isabella said and moved down to the wine section, to pick a good bottle of red.

Her eyes scanned her little food basket and nodded.
