AMIRA

Once I exited the car door the chauffeur opened for me, I looked around, breathed in the warm Italian air, and soaked up my surroundings. I got so lost in the moment that I didn't realize that the driver had driven off and was interrupted by an annoyingly deep voice. "Any day now, we've been standing here for 4 minutes"

well no one told him to stand there and wait

I looked over at him and almost opened my mouth to clap back at him but decided to let him have it as I made my way over to the hotel doors a couple of feet away

Alessandro stayed back conversing on his phone but I didn't care enough to wait for him to finish, I'm pretty sure he'll find his room later

I walked up the stairs to the front desk and said hello and mentioned our reservation to the older blond-haired woman with a name tag that read Margot

"Hello dear welcome to Italia!" She gave me a warm smiling and asked how I like it so far and I said it's beautiful. "What's your name for the reservation"

"Harper, 1 of 2 reserved for Namira Cosmetics"

"I'm sorry but I don't see t-" My phone ringed and interrupted my focus on Margot I was going to decline until I saw Nia's contact. "Hold on can you give me a second" I said to Margot and stepped to the side to tell Nia how much I love Italy so far

I remembered that Margot is waiting for me finish, "Of course I'll send pics but just let me get settle in first." I walk back to the front desk. "Okay I love you too" I hang up, and Margot hands me the hotel key and brochure with all of the customer service numbers and all excursions.

"Thank you so much," I looked at her and began to walk to the elevator, dragging my suitcase behind me, and I glanced back one more time, and she looked at me like she wanted to say something, but forgot. The elevator opened up and I walked into it and it went to the highest floor, which was the 5th, given it was a small non non-modern styled hotel

I walked to my door, scanned the hotel key, and entered my home for the next 4 days and 3 nights. "Beautiful," I breathed out and looked around both sides of the room. The king-sized bed had white linen bedsheets on it, and I couldn't wait to sleep in it tonight, binge-watch my fav shows for the rest of the night and eat some fire pizza or spaghetti or some Italian food

I unpacked my suitcase and put my clothes in the 3 draws provided not forgetting to set aside bra and underwear along with pajamas for the night on the bed. I took out my hygiene bag and bring it to the bath with me, I take in the large bathroom with a huge mirror and walk-in shower, and white towels in the closet. 

I connected my phone to the speaker and played Jhene Aiko's whole discography and walked into the shower opened my Dove exfoliating bar of soap and lathered the rag up to clean my body.
