I close the door of the small room me and my two friends booked for our little vacation.
The bed and breakfast was prettier than I immagine, if we consider that was James the one who chose it. Not too big, between Firenze and Pisa so we can visit both. Three floors, three rooms each, they are kinda like mini apartments with the kitchen, the bathroom and a two size bed plus a one size.
The thing that captures my attention of this old but cleaned place was the big terrace in the second floor. Consider that I can't sleep recently, insomnia sometimes keeps me awake and certenly Ethan's snoring doesn't help, I decided to go there and smoke a sigaret.
There was six roundwhite tables, I sit on the first one in the left, close to the railing. I didn't do anything more than looking at the stars, gladly in this place there isn't a lot of artificial light so I can see a really considerate amount of star.
My sister, Artemide, she was a big fan of stars, when we were little we count them as if we can count them all. The memory make my laugh.
Someone join me, I ear the door window opened and a dark blond haired girl enters. She didn't notice me, she sit in the opposite side of the terrace with a cup, if cafe or tea I can't tell but she looks like a tea person with her big black pants, dark green tank top and the crystal on the neck.
I look at her while she but stuff out of the bag she had brought with her, three books and a pencil case.
Probably she feel my eyes on her so she start to look around notice my presence.
-Sorry I didn't know somebody was already here- She started to pick up her stuff but I stop her.
-It's a common place I think there is no problem if you stay- She smiled and bring her attention back on her stuff.
First she started to writing in something I misunderstood as a book but in reality was a notebook, then she switched to the other book that in reality was a coloring book, she get tired of it too and she star reading the only real book between all her suff. While passing from an activity to the others she sims to get more frustrated that, in the end, she smash violently the book on the table and look directly at me.
-You look kinda creepy- Her sentence have totally sense since I looked at her the all time without even hid it.
-You are the only interesting thing to look at-
-What was you looking at before I came here?-
-The stars-
-Than bring back you attention at them-
-I know them too well. What are you trying to do?- I want to be a writer but I don't like guessing real people life, they have the reality as a story.
-I'm trying to get tired. I guess you can't feel asleep too- I get up and I go to sit in front of her, she pulled her body away from me and I laughed once again.
-Apollo, nice to meet you-
-Olivia- She sims younger than me just a couple of years and probably scared of the way I approached her.
-I have trouble sleeping and my friend is snoring. Why are you here?-
-I can't sleep without my pillow-
-Like Stiles from teen wolf?-
-Did you watch it?-
-Everybody watch it-
Then silence for some minutes, she was trying to look at everything but me, I'm just looking at her.
I don't know if the color of her eyes was black or the darkness makes them look like it, she have a little mole on the right side of her nose.
-Do you like looking at people?-
-As I said, you are the only interesting thing here but yes, I'm a watcher, I love...- I forgot how they said it in English.
-Be a creep?- She suggested smiling.
-No, osservare- I said in Italian hope she understood.
-Observe?- I clap to her.
-Yes, I love observe- I finish my sentences.
-Your English is good, I thought you wore a native- She said impressed.
-Kinda, mama in from Canada, papà is the Italian one. We grow here but at home we switch language really easily-
-We?-
-Me and my twin sister, Artemide-
-Artemis and Apollo, I like your parents-
-Artemide, not Artemis-
-Ok... I'm sorry-
Olivia started to look at her phone, scrolling video on tiktok.
-Can you tell me a story?- She ask out of nowhere.
-What?- She put her phone down.
-You said you like to observe, you probably invented people story while watching them. So tell me one of your story-
I just objectively look, Artemide was the one who invented the story, I ruined them for her explaining the truth with the fact I see. She hated that. But I can invent a story.
-None of those. But give me a plot and I'll try- Not a lot of second and she already have her idea.
-That one tiktok sound: The soldier; the poet and the king-
I like that one so I started.📚🚬📚
