Isabella Ricci, 23, no one knows about her hard past except her best friend. She has walls around her hart higher then the Eifel tower and no one gets through them until an extremely handsome Italian comes along who has set everything on breaking th...
I groan when I hear my alarm go of. Another worthless day.
I turn my alarm off and make my way into my bathroom. I step into the shower and let the warm water flow down my body. My stif muscles instantly relax at the feeling. I wash my hair with me lavender shampoo and wash my body.
I wrap a towel around my body and blow dry my black hair. I walk back to my room to my closet. I decide on black jeans with a long sleeve T-shirt and some sneakers. I also added some jewels.

(This I what I Imagine what she wears. Ofc you can choose another outfit. The person on the pictures is btw not how I picture Isabelle. This is just an picture for the outfit! This is not how I think a perfect body or anything looks like. Every size is beautiful. You are beautiful please remember that)
I decide on keeping my make-up as natural as possible as always. I don't like wearing much make up.
I look at the time '7.30 pm'. Shit I'm late. I run out of my bedroom in the living room.
There sits Katy my best (and only) friend.
We life together in her small but comfortable apartment. I still remember how we met like it was yesterday. It all happened very fast.
I sat on the street like the past 2 weeks. I barely have any food left. Then I see a girl around my age walking my way.
The girl had blond hair and big doe bleu eyes. She looked really pretty in her short, bleu dress.
"Hey" the girl says. I quickly stand up and say "hi" I try to keep my face black for the unknown girl but she could still see the fear in my eyes.
"I'm Katy" the girl says with a smile. "I'm Isabella" I say a bit hesitant but still put my hand forth so she can shake it. To my surprise she pulls me into a hug.
For a second I tense up. I don't like to be touched but I still don't stop her. I have met this girl only seconds ago but I still feel a kind of warm and safe in her arms.
"Sorry I Hug a lot. Why are you on the streets? Don't you have a house?" Katy asks. I shake my head and mumble a 'no'.
"You're coming with me home" she says. I look at her shocked. "W-what?" I ask afraid that I heard her wrong. I mean, I only now her for a few minutes and she wants me to move in? Yes there's obviously some kind of bond already between us but still.
" I don't know why Isabelle but I like you without knowing you really and I already know that we'll be good friends. Please come with me. It's not safe here alone on the streets"
A small smile makes it way on my face and I nod. Why would I say no to such an offer?
"Bellaaaaaa" Katy waves in front of my face "are you okay?" She asks. "Yeah I'm okay. Sorry I zoned out. I was thinking about how we met exactly" I answer. "Oh yeah that was a good day. 5 years later and you are still here. Bet you didn't expect that huh" I chuckle at her words. "No I did not expect it". She smiles and says "anyways you're late for work but I can make you something quick if you want" Katy says.
"No thanks. I'll get some coffee at the cafe then I'm good to go"
I hear her mumble "you and your coffee addiction" while I run out of the door. I giggle slightly at her words. It true. I'm addicted to coffee and can't go a day without it.
I work in a restaurant in the middle of (insert a place in America) as a waitress. I hate it there. My boss, Lola, hates me and the food she serves is disgusting, I feel guilty for serving it to tourist because the local town people don't come anymore. But it was the best I could get without a diploma.
Everyday I go to the cafe across the street for coffee.
I park my car outside the restaurant and run across the street. Lola is gonna be so mad at me for being late.
I walk in the small cafe and the smell of fresh coffee and pie immediately reaches me.
"Isabella! What a surprise. Shouldn't you be at work?" Violet asks. Violet owns the cafe with her husband. She's a small old woman from about 60 years old.
"Yes I'm late but I just needed coffee" I say.
The old woman laughs knowing my need for coffee. She turns around to make my coffee and after a minute she hands it to me.
I quickly pay and speed walk out of the door while focusing on not spilling my coffee.
When I walk outside I walk into a hard chest because I was walking fast I fall. I squeeze my eyes waiting for me to hit the ground but when it never happens I open my eyes.
I see a very handsome man looking straight into my eyes. He has beautiful deep brown eyes and messy light brown hair. He has a sharp jaw which you could crack a walnut with. He has an sent of power around him and it makes me slightly intimidated.
After a few minutes what feels like hours of staring into his eyes I realise his arm is around my waist.
My heart starts to beat harder and I feel my palms getting sweaty. I quickly push his arm away. "Don't. Touch. Me." I say trying to sound angry but you can hear a little fear.
"Well I'm sorry amore. I didn't want you to fall" the man says. His heavy voice with thick Italian accent makes my stomach turn. For a moment I want him to keep on speaking so I could hear more of his beautiful accent but I'm quick to gather myself. (Love)
"I didn't ask you to catch me so don't touch me and don't call me that!" I snap at him.
A hint of amusement in his eyes and something else that I don't quite understand.
"Alright I'm sorry. Amore." And with that he walked past me into the cafe.
I stood frozen for a few seconds. Once I was out of my trench I picked the now empty coffee cup of the floor because all the coffee was on the floor and threw it away. I quickly run to the restaurant and when i open the door I'm met by a very pissed Lola. Oh lord.
