Danielle's pov:

It's the second Day of vacation in this beautiful tiny city in Italy, Sicily, that's called Belpasso. It's so beautiful here. I was here before with my sister Stephanie and my Mom but this time I am on vacation with my friends, Barrett and Alisha. Alisha and Barrett are sharing their room cause I had to share with Barrett the last time on the Maledives and the other time before with Alisha in France. So I have this big room with a beautiful view of the north atlantic ocean all by myself. It's good cause I need some time off to get my mind off of him. Before we got here I just broke up with my Boyfriend cause I saw him sleeping with another woman in my, in our Bed. I was really in love with him and I was shattered as I saw him laying on that Bitch on my side of the Bed. I was madly in love but I don't think that I loved him. I am and always was a very romantic person. I love red roses and get surprise-dates in a cute Restaurant or watching the Sun set behind the Hollywood Hills while cuddling, wrapped up in a cozy blanket. That was all I dreamed of but never got. Jake was never a romantic person. When he had to decide where to get me on a date, he chose the diner between any fancy restaurant and it. He was more like a sitting on the couch and eating potatoe chips while watching football or any 'men sports' the whole day kind of guy. I don't even know how we ended up together but it was not really fun.

It's afternoon and Barrett and Alisha are away on some Beach party but I wasn't in the mood to join them. I have other plans. I put on my Bathing suit and a flowy light Blue dress on top and my sunglasses on my head. I put sunscreen, a bottle of water, my purse, my phone and two towels in my Beach bag, grab the key card to my hotel room and make my way out on the streets of Italy.

I saw this cute little restaurant on a little side street, the day we arrived here. That's where I'm heading now for Lunch/Dinner, cause all I had today was my crappy Breakfast, because I woke up too late and all the good things were already in the tummy's of the other people that are living in this hotel.
As I arrive there l am greeted by a friendly and family-like envoironment. It's way bigger than I thought and as you can assume from the outside but it's still cozy. I sit at a table, facing the door. I wanted to order but wait...there's a problem. The Menu is in Italian and as you can assume I don't speak Italian. I don't even know ten words I guess. I ask one of the waitresses over to my table and ask her in English if she could translate it for me.

"Hey I am sorry but I don't speak Italian...could you translate the menu for me?" I ask the mid thirty year old women who looked at me a little bit confused.

"I do not very well can speak English. I will go and get someone for you" that's what she said in a heavy Italian accent. She really had problems with her English but that's okay because I at least understood what she wanted to say. I saw her nearly running to the kitchen and returning back out of the door. Alone. That's when I hear the bell over the door ring, as someone enters the restaurant. I look to the door and wow... I lock eyes with a beautiful brunette and look away, after a second because I start to blush. The reason is her smiling at me. As I look back up after the blush disappeared a bit from my cheeks, I see her walking in my direction with the waitress pointing at me.

"Hi, I am Stefania, the daughter of the owner of this restaurant. I heard you struggled ordering?"
"Bambina? Everything alright?" I snap out of my gaze and flash her a nervous smile.

"Uh yeah...yeah..sure sorry" I smile. She's literally a goddess

"Yeah I have a few problems with the Menu" I laugh at my stupidness and she chuckles. I would love to hear her laugh...What? No! Stop it Danielle! You're a grown up adult and not some teenager in some Romance-Comedy movie!
