Il Mio Dolce Desiderio (My Sweet Desire)

02|| To new beginnings..

Ilaria's POV

Thursday 15th April 12:30 pm.

The excitement started creeping up to me even more now, as it was the very last day of college for me. Finally, I thought. No more feeling lonely and bored, no more dealing with the schools bitches and idiots around me. It felt more peaceful this way. People started crying and hugging each other saying their goodbyes and getting their certificates. If I was them, I'd be crying out of happiness, not crying for leaving this place.

The hall was quite loud and full, with people trying to enjoy their last few minutes of college and friends and trying to get their certificates, most taking pictures of one another, I simply just wanted to take my certificate and belongings and leave as soon as possible. Sometimes it'd feel like school was a prison, and whenever I would be out, I'd breathe heavily thanking God it would be over soon. This was repetitive.

Just as I was about to get my certificate, Sally, one of the most annoying girls at school came and pushed me on the side slightly, replying sarcastically "Oh I'm so sorry, accidents happen". I rolled my eyes and said "Sure sure, whatever you say". Then to annoy me, even more, she came up to me and said, "You know, you were one of the ugliest girls in the school right? That's why you never had any friends".

Oh, you wanna start this thing again?

"You know you were one of the most bitchiest girls in school right. That's why you were surrounded by all the fake people around you, which I understand totally, example given in front of me. And they used you not for who you are, but for your money. So sweetheart if I was you, I'd shut the fuck up". I said in a tight smile showing her I wasn't scared of no one.

"Yeah whatever, at least I won't be seeing you again which I'm happy about ".
"The feelings are mutual trust me". Then she went past me without saying another word.

Ms Clarke then came next to me, smiling brightly. "Ilaria, I've been very proud of your progress in the past few years. I hope you can carry on this outstanding work till University sweetheart". I smiled back, her words motivating me, "thanks miss. I hope so too".

She then handed my certificate, hugged me and said, " this is going to be a whole new chapter for you Ilaria and trust me, darling, if I was you, I'd take my time to see which University best suits my liking. Good luck with your future and what's to come, sweetie".

To that, I smiled in response to thank her for the considerate thought she gave me. "Will do Miss, take care".

And on that note, it was over. College was finally over. I could cry from enjoyment right now. Thank God.

************1:30 p.m.************

It literally took me forty-five minutes to get to the shopping centre. When I was there, the fresh smell of coffee and cinnamon rolls filled the air so obviously first things first, I had to fill myself up.

After eating all the lovely food,  I rushed over to the best makeup store in the mall called  'Claire D'amour'. I usually got all my makeup products from there because of the quality of the brushes and how they were so smooth. The foundations and concealers were also a winner, just for every skin type as well. My skin tone is olive, just like dads. Mums skin was a little lighter like my sisters.

After looking at what to get and what not, three whole bags were filled with makeup already. Well oops, I have to seriously stop this addiction with makeup. It's the solution to anything. Bored? Makeup, argued? Makeup, after crying to cheer yourself up? Makeup, to make yourself feel like you're doing a youtube video on makeup tutorials in your bathroom? Makeup. Plus one bag was for me, other was for Tina and the other was for Bella, so we're good.

Next part was to visit the baby stores and get things for my little niece. I honestly couldn't wait to meet her. I got her a nice pink top with white tights and a skirt, and to make the perfect combination, shiny pink shoes. And then a few accessories to go with it. I know she has clothes all the way in Italy, but this was my little beginning present for her.

After getting her a few more clothes and other necessary things, I headed to the lingerie store to see what I could get for me and Valentina. The best store for lingerie here was 'Casie Beckingham's store. It had the best shades of bras and underwear. I don't know, I just always came here, and they fit perfectly and comfortably too. I also got both of us and Bella some satin Pjs along with cotton ones because they were the most comfortable ones, along with more tops, vests, shorts and some accessories too.

And after getting a full bag of what I needed there, I headed to men's shop named 'Bradfordham' for the brother in law. What I knew about Antonio was that he preferred to have strong scent perfumes, which I don't really mind but I like softly scented perfumes on men more. So I got him a few perfumes, tops and PJs.

For mum and dad, well for dad I got him perfume in the same store as Antonios because he had an obsession with perfume, and some PJs to go along with it. I knew he'd like it because dad really pays attention to the little details, like me and he's forever grateful for what he receives, whatever it is.

For mum, I also got her some perfumes, along with tops, PJs and other stuff. She loved money and clothes a lot, as it represented her in some sort. But oh well, we move.

After all the shopping, I went back to my car and put everything inside, filling nearly the whole car with presents, and drove back home to start the packing.

I swear time goes so fast when you're having fun. Well, it was currently eight-thirty pm and my room was a MESS. I had my whole four luggage's open, ready to be filled. I loved getting everything ready and set, but sometimes I couldn't be asked. But the thought of me leaving in two days, made me feel way happier and energetic, and I started my playlist to keep me going, listening to a mix of Ariana, Doja and some romantic love songs for a few hours or so.

With that, I kept in mind of the wonderful times we'll have when I get there, hopefully with Tina and Bella and Carina. Even though it sounds weird, I also wanted to feel loved, loved by someone, in a romantic way. I just had to hope, or dream that these will come true. To not let the past ruin my future. After all, it's the past and no one can change it, right?
