⬆️ Donna

——————————

Its been a month working at the Cafe now and I have honestly enjoyed working there. Customers are always nice and my co-workers treat me with kindness. And the tips are great.

I even made a friend named Donna. She is also 24 and 5'7 making her taller than me which makes me sad really because everyone I meet seems to be taller than me. Donna is quite a character I must say. She kind of forced herself to become my friend since im always just quiet and shy. She is very outspoken and just bubbly, total opposite of me actually but I really like her.

"Hey short-stuff" Donna said bouncing her way to me after our shift ended. "Hello Donna and my name is Nicole not short-stuff". I mumbled, She snorted "Whatever, wanna get some pizza and chill at my place?" she said smiling wildly.

"I-I don't know, are you sure?" "Of course I'm sure dummy " she said sounding a little annoyed and rolling her eyes. I nodded and collected my stuff. "Shall we then, my lady?" She said sounding classy and extending her arm out for me. Hooking my arm with her and giggling "yes we shall".

We said goodnight to Kathy and went to Donnas' car. I've never had anyone invite me over their place so I was a little nervous but also excited to spend time with my new friend.

We arrive at her place or apartment, its so much better than my place. While I was busy gawking at the place, Donna called out my named bringing me back to reality and I obviously blushed that she caught me. "What pizza do you want to get? Oh God! please tell me your not a Hawaiian pizza person" She asked laughing a little and crossing her fingers. "N-no, Anything is fine really" I said shyly. "Pepperoni it is then" she said going upstairs while ordering pizza.

Totally leaving me standing awkwardly alone in her dinning room. I chose to make myself comfortable and sit down while waiting for her to come downstairs. She was back in less than five minutes took out white wine from the fridge and two wine glasses. I haven't told her I have never had a sip of liqour before but I also didn't want to dissapoint her.

"Since we are both not working tomorrow, we are having wine" before I could respond, she continued after she put the glasses down, "and I know you don't drink but you will be sleeping over so it doesn't matter if you get a little tipsy" she said wiggling her thick eyebrows making me giggle. I nodded and took a sip while she put on a movie called Me before you. Apparently its really good.

I wasn't fond of the taste of the wine at the beginning but after three sips, I got used to it. After 30 minutes the pizza arrived and we ate while watching the movie. When the movie ended we were both crying not very happy with the ending.

"Why did he not choose her? I mean she was willing to be with the guy but he just chooses to die!!" Donna said sniffling. "I know, I get he wanted to be at peace but he said he loved her!" I said sobbing. Donna looked at me and started laughing and I joined her. After we calmed Down, Donna said out of the blue, "so tell me about yourself Nicki" I tensed "What do you want to know?"

"Anything about yourself, where you're from, parents still in the picture, anything about you" I started getting nervous, I didn't feel comfortable talking about myself but I felt I should atleast try and answer her without revealing too much.

"Well Im an only child, I don't have siblings or cousins I know of, I grew up alone actually and my parents and I are not on great terms, I'd rather not say more about that though. Im from Los Angeles California, I love shopping and checking out new clothing trends and reading I guess. Thats all and you?" She nodded

"Well... Im not an only child, I have two older brat brothers who are annoying ass heads but I love them. My Parents are always traveling but I see them as much as I can. Im originally from Italy but I grew up here in New York. I love shopping too, We are so doing that!! Oh and you're the only girl I actually consider a friend, so congratulations Bitch you are Donna Morettis' best friend" she said smiling wildly.

I giggled at her and said " you're my only friend too Donna and thanks for making me your best friend, I've never had one before" I said blushing and fidgeting with my fingers.

Donna genuinely smiled and whispering while hugging me tightly, " I hope that never changes in the future"

I could tell by the way she was hugging me she also didn't have many friends which made me happy that we actually found each other and now officially "Besties".

"Okay, lets talk boys! so do you have anyone in your life in this moment" I looked at her shocked, "N-no I don't date actually" she raised her eyebrows with a confused face "why? You do see how pretty and cute you are right? and look at that thick body! Honey boys must be drooling over you!" I giggled at her statement, "I just never found someone who I can be comfortable with I guess" she looked at me with a surprised expression "oh honey, you're still a virgin aren't you?" I just looked down and blushed. Donna just giggled at me and said "Don't worry love, I am too"

I looked at her with wide eyes before looking at the floor again and awkwardly said "that's cool". Donna laughed at my response "you're so cute Nicki" she said while pinching my chubby cheeks. I just blushed and smiled at her.

"Its not like I haven't dated before but with my type of Brothers, guys tend to get scared to approach me. I don't mind it though I kinda have a crush on someone else really" she said blushing.

"Why? Are they overprotective?" I ask confused "Oh my God YES!! It's seriously annoying" she said rolling her eyes. "Who is this guy you like" she smiled widely "Stefano Alfonsi" she said blushing. "It doesn't matter though because he is both my older brothers best friend so that's never going to happen" she said sounding sad and huffing.

"Hey don't give up, there is always a chance if you try" she smiles a little and chuckles "he doesn't even notice me Nicki, what makes you think I have a chance with a guy who hardly smiles nor even look at me, sometimes he seriously looks like an emotionless robot" she shakes her head.

"Maybe you just start talking to him make him feel more comfortable with you and maybe he will see how lucky he is to have gained your attention" she fake sniffed with puppy eyes, " oh my God, Nicki you make me feel so special, I'll try talking to him. He is coming back from Italy tommorow afternoon with my brothers, I can't wait to see him" she said happy dancing, I laughed at her.

"Do you wanna come with me and maybe meet my family, they would love to know I have a new genuine friend" she said with so much hope, "I-I can't, not yet but I promise I will meet them soon"

She looked dissapointed but said "I understand but know Im dragging you next time" I laughed at her and nodded.

We continued chatting and drinking wine until 3am in the morning and then went to bed.

Best night ever!
