Love in the sun

My ringtone made me stir on the bed, reluctantly I turned over to grab my phone.

"Nathan where are you?" I heard my dad ask and I groaned "At a hotel, somewhere in Spain." He sighed "I have a job for you and you can't make any kind of excuse." I kept quiet and he started "I want you to go to Italy and oversee the creation of our new hotel there " I sat up immediately "We already have a hotel in Rome."

"I'm not stupid son of course I know that very well." He stopped "I want a new place to be opened in Puglia."
"You're leaving me in charge? That could take months to organise."

"You're in charge, now if you want to become CEO someday you have to step up...I want to hear of your arrival in Italy either later today or tomorrow morning. Got it?"
"I'm not sure but I'll try."
"You better get ready now young man. I want you to leave tonight." I exhaled "Alright."

"Good morning."

Are you kidding me? Who says that at the end of a conversation?

"Good morning, my regards to mum and Zandra."
"Of course." He hung up and I slumped back to stretch. Remembering all that took place the previous night, I turned to my side to see a naked woman; she's apparently an Instagram model that I met at a party last night, after the party we went for the bar and let's just say one thing led to another and now we're here.

I have a huge one night reputation.

"Es hora de ir (It's time to go)." I shake her up and she stands up with the covers wrapped around her. "The gustariá ilamorme màs tarde? (Will you like to call me later?)"

"No es necesssario gue, con suerte no me veràs de nuevo (No need for that, hopefully you won't be seeing me again)." She kept quiet as pulled up my boxers to my waist.

"Deberiás estar salido antes del salir del baño (You should be out before I get out of the bathroom)." I didn't wait for her response and headed to the bathroom.

You must be wondering how I get to speak more languages than English, the truth is I was born to a successful man hence great responsibilities were waiting to be handed out to me. For each country my father established a hotel in, their languages became a part of me after many months of staying in their homeland just to learn how to speak their way in order to become a great leader someday.

As I got out of the bathroom, I was relieved to see that the model from the last night  had gone without causing any trouble. She seemed angry before I left for the bathroom and I didn't like that about her.

Love was something I wasn't ready for much less a relationship. Although, my mum said it will come when I least expected it, I was sure it wasn't now but I believed in love, I had seen it with my parents and someday I hope to have something like that. I remember a recent conversation at the dining table once.

"Someday Nathaniel, you'll find love. I'm sure of it." My sister scoffed at my mum's words "He's too immature for that. Have you seen the kind of ladies he hangs out with? One look at them and you're sure they're sluts."

"Those are some mean words there Zandra." Mum calmly replied.
"I agree with Zandra, she only spoke the truth and you know it."

"Dad also knows it, I'll be surprised if he ever lands a modest girl really?"

Talk about harsh

Mum paid no attention to them and instead placed her hand on mine and gave it a squeeze "He'll find one. I'll even pray for it to happen soon."

That was a months ago, I recalled as I got my things ready for later tonight.

Getting to Italy and making arrangements for my stay in Otranto wasn't easy. Since I was going to stay for quite a while, I couldn't lodge in a hotel so I asked Sean to arrange  accommodation according to my taste. Sean being a very smart guy got me a villa, one I was sure to never regret spending money on.
