AN: I had this stuck in my head after my Italian exam yesterday and knocked this out in about half an hour so I know there will be some mistakes with my Italian, apologies to native speakers! Translation for all the Italian can be found at the end but you can read it without the translations as well (hopefully).
Edit: Thanks to thatrhubarbpieomine on tumblr for the Italian corrections! (this deffos counts as studying now, right?)


"Sto bene, ovviamente! Allora, Mamma ti ha detto che ho cambiato casa?" Angie was excited to finally talk to her cousin, she hadn't had the chance since she moved out. Carla was like a sister to her growing up... she was also the only person who knew about Angie's inclinations and thankfully had similar ones herself.

"Sì, con la ragazza inglese ... no non complicherà le cose." Angie sighed, of course it was going to complicate things but she didn't want to think about that right now. And she'd never admit it to Carla, who'd no doubt tease her to no end.

"Ugh, comunque non succederà niente, lo sai. Sì, cavolo, Carla è straordinario! C'è un telefono in tutte le camere ... ho anche un bagno per me! Sì, tutto per me!" Angie made an attempt to change subject, Carla would have plenty of questions to ask about the house. And Angie didn't want her mind to linger on Peggy too long.

It was at this point that Peggy walked past the dining room, where Angie was taking her call. She noticed how excited Angie sounded, and managed to pick up 'I have my own bathroom! Yeah, just for me!'. Peggy smiled to herself, Angie's family must be used to sharing between all of them, all eight of them... or was it more, Peggy couldn't quite remember. She went to continue on to the kitchen, however she overheard 'the English girl' and couldn't help herself. She would never listen in on Angie's conversations intentionally, she just happened to be passing by of course.

"No, ascolta, non c'è più niente di cui parlare con la ragazza inglese...Sì, lei è carina... No, non ho intenzione di fare nulla! Carla, non so nemmeno se lei è in questo modo." Angie rolled her eyes at Carla, she was hardly going to go after her new housemate. And she didn't know if Peggy was that way inclined, though she had her theories... hopeful ones.

Peggy, who had been eavesdropping, had caught parts of the conversation. Her Italian was very rusty but the words 'yes, she's cute.' and 'no, I'm not going to do anything about it!' she had managed to catch. She hastily moved on to the kitchen at that point, hoping Angie wouldn't hear her. But damn these heels and wooden squeaking floorboards. Shit. She should just pretend she hadn't heard, they lived together, this could only end badly, but now she knew for sure Angie liked her, couldn't just ignore that, could she? Peggy's mind raced as she busied herself making a cup of tea.

"Hey, Pegs. Just got off the phone with my cousin, Carla. She wants to visit sometime soon, that ok?" Angie entered the kitchen and leant her hip against the countertop, watching Peggy's back.

"Of course, Angie, your family can visit whenever you'd like. Although I'll admit my Italian may need a little going over." Peggy turned to face Angie who's eyes widened and face paled. She tried to recall exactly what she'd said and how loud she'd been.

"You...you speak Italian, English?" She bit her lip and prayed Peggy hadn't managed to overhear her.

"I used to, only really remember the basics now, to be honest. My French has always been better."

Oh, thank God, she hadn't heard, Angie thought. Peggy placed her cup of tea down and moved closer towards Angie, leaning a foot apart from her. She looked down at the ground before returning her gaze to Angie, placing her hand on the side of the Italian woman's cheek, and saying, "Penso che anche tu sia carina, cara." Peggy leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on Angie's lips, pulled back and smiled sweetly at her.

Angie's eyes were wide and her mouth agape, what the hell had just happened?
"Porca vacca..." Angie breathed after her brain caught up with her, Peggy had overheard her.

She closed the small gap between her and Peggy, bringing their lips together and thought to herself, man is Carla gonna be smug about this.


These are the translations for all the Italian:

Angie:
" I'm good, ovbiously! So, Mama told you about me moving house then?"

"Yes, with the english girl... no it won't complicate things."
"Ugh, nothing's going to happen anyways, you know that. Yeah, Jeez, Carla it's so huge! There's a telephone every room... I even have my own bathroom. Yeah, just for me!"
"No, listen, there's nothing more to talk about with the english girl... Yeah, she's cute... No, I'm not going to do anything about it! Carla, I don't even know if she's in that way."
"Holy shit..."

Peggy:
"I think you're cute too, darling."
