What Am I? | Victoria De Angelis

chapter 7: rethink everything

On 25th of January I got a call from Greta; Måneskin's manager. She told me that I needed to pack and she also told me when Måneskin are going on tour. I was pretty excited because I've never travelled to some of the countries she listed that the band is gonna tour in.
I was also pretty sad, I was gonna need to leave my mother for 3 months.

I was at the airport waiting for them with Greta. She was asking me about myself since we are going to be working together. I happily replied to all of her questions.
"Angie!" I heard yelling behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Vic running up to me. She hugged me very, very tightly. It reminded me of Marie. Oh, I missed her. I did see her before I left to go to the airport but three months without her? That was gonna be hard.
"How is my favourite personal assistant in the whole entire world doing?" Vic asked as she pulled away from the hug.
"A little sleepy, but other then that I'm doing amazing! How about you?"
"Ugh, same. I'm not used to waking up so early."
We both chatted a little until the other members got here, including their crew. We all followed Greta to the gate. The boarding was in 5 minutes so we quickly all lined up. We scanned our boarding passes and went inside the plane. I was so surprised. The plane was so luxurious.
I was seated between their crew members which I didn't meet yet. The one to my right had long curly blonde hair while the one to my long black hair. 
They both said 'hi' to me but that was about it.
When the plane took off and we were finally in the air, they started talking to me.
"Hi, I'm Vera. Nice to meet you," the blonde girl, Vera, said.
"Oh nice to meet you too, I'm Angelica," I replied, shaking hands with her.
"I'm Shanty! I'm the makeup artist," she pulled out her hand and shook mine.
"You are the personal assistant, right?" Shanty asked and I nodded. "Is it hard working for the band?" I asked.
"No, they are super easy to work with, especially Victoria and Thomas," Shanty replies.
I just nod.

France, Paris

We landed after an hour and half of flying. There was a black van waiting for us outside. We all got in and headed to the hotel. When we got there, I was shocked. It was a 5 star, luxury hotel. Yes, I did book the hotel rooms, but seeing it right in front of me was a whole different thing. I've never stayed in such hotel. We got the keys and went to our bedrooms. I was sharing a bedroom with Shanty. Since we arrived at 10 am, we had all day to explore Paris. I decides to spend my morning by going shopping with Shanty and Vera. We bought makeup, clothes, shoes and many, many other things. It was around 1 pm when we finished the shopping spree so we decided to find a restaurant. It took us 10 minutes to find the perfect restaurant but it was so worth it.
It looked modern and the food was affordable and very tasty. After our lunch we decided to take a taxi back to the hotel. We spent the whole afternoon talking in our hotel room.

It was about 10 pm and we were heading to this club. It was Vic's idea, of course. 
We got to the club and it was pretty crowded. We all entered and found a place to sit. As they all started ordering drinks, I excused myself to the bathroom. I was so embarrassed. I had never drank before. It took me, what felt like 20 minutes, to find the darn bathroom. There was no one in it. Just me. I stayed there for at least 10 minutes until I heard the door open. It was Victoria. Someone, please, kill me.

"Hey, are you okay? We got concerned about you."

" I-I'm okay."

"Are you sure? You can tell me anything, if there is something bothering you."

I took a deep breath.

"I never drank alcohol," I whispered.

"Oh... Oh yeah! I remember when we first met. Anyways, do you want to?" She asked.

I shrugged. I didn't believe in God anymore. What could I possibly lose?

"Yes?"

"Okay then, I'll order you some. Come!" She smiled, grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the bathroom. We pushed through the crowd to get to our friends.

Vic told me to sit down and quickly went over to order me a drink.
She came back with a martini, I think?
Yeah, it was definitely a martini.

"Here you go, madam," she jokingly said as she handed me my martini.
"Why, thank you," I replied as I took the martini into my hand. As soon as I did, I started sweating. What if I choke? Will they make fun of me? What if I don't like it? Will they realize that I've never drank a single bit of alcohol? Oh my, what the hell should I do?

I decided to be a big girl and take a sip. Surprisingly, it was not as bad as I expected. I felt proud. I finally drank alcohol at the ripe age of 23. Not bad at all.

"Angie! Let's go dance!" Victoria called out as she grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the dance floor. I honestly didn't know which song was playing but I could have cared less. The only thing that I knew was that I was dancing with Victoria. She was so, so beautiful.

Stop these thoughts! You aren't lesbian, you're straight. Plus, she's your boss.
But she is so gorgeous...

I quickly stopped these thoughts and only thought about the girl dancing right in front of me.

She was smiling so much that I thought her mouth was gonna rip.

Suddenly, she pulled me closer.

Oh, fuck.

She kissed me. On the lips.

Holy fuck, I just kissed Victoria De Angelis.

Her lips drifted from my lips to my ear.
"Hmm... Do you wanna go back to the hotel, my legs are starting to hurt."
I just gulped and nodded.

We went to our friends, said our goodbye's and went outside.
She called a taxi while I leaned against the club wall. She put her phone into her bag after she finished the call and went to lean next to me, against the cold wall.
"Did I ever tell you that you were gorgeous?" She asked as she leaned in closer to my ear.
I shivered.

"Yeah, I think you did actually."

"Good. I would have felt awful if I didn't," she said and pressed a kiss onto my earlobe.

She was so hot, I thought I was gonna die.
