Buzz Buzzz Buzzzzz !!

"Who ?" I switched my computer to the camera by the elevator to see who was buzzing for me. It's Victoria. She's just a friend I've known for a while. She's also my Italian teacher. We met at a pizza shop when I went to visit Italy for a few months. She just so happened to be visiting also and we met back up again when we were both back. She's from Italy and so she ended up teaching me Italian because I told her about a dish my grandfather made, essentially telling her that I'm half Italian.

She saw that as a common ground even though I didn't know dick shit about Italy or it's languages which is why I went for myself. I got some information from my dad and his dad and it made me want to explore that part of me. If feels good to be more than just 'unseasoned' as Dej would tease me for. Also I needed the distraction so I buried myself in books and constant practice of the language and culture. I learned Italian in no time and when we had a show there we stayed for a weekend and I communicated with the Italians comfortably.

Vic went with me both times and helped me around and I know, I know but I swear we've never done anything. She's pretty, sure but no one I'm searching for. Some people even assumed she was my girlfriend but that was quickly shut down. I buzzed the button, allowing permission to let her in and waited for her to come upstairs.

"Jake !?" Her voice muffled from behind the door.

I got up and walked out of the glass box that is my office. The glass is only a clear sight from inside. From the outside it's tinted completely and you can't see or hear anything. I could watch you eat in my living room and you'd never know it. I made the turn and walked down the stairs and towards the door to open it.

"What's up Vic ? Why are you here today ?"

"Che vuoi dire? Sono venuto a trovarti"
[What do you mean ? I came to see you]

"At 8 AM ?"

"You just got back you've been gone for months"

"I could have been sleeping or something"

"You never sleep Jake"

"That doesn't explain you coming to my place this early without me knowing. We're good friends Vic but I have privacy and you need to respect that"

"You're right, my apologies amico mio"
[My friend]

"You're here, what's up ?"

"I just came to check on you and ask how was the tour ?"

"Tiring but it was amazing each city was beautiful as the crowds were nothing less than"

"So I see. I've seen all the fanpages and site updates about you guys. They have such nice things to say about you. 'He's so tall' 'He's so sweet and he smells really nice' 'His voice' 'His looks'. They're all over you"

"Yeah," I laugh to myself. "That's the modest portion of what's said"

"Believe me I know" She giggled. "Hai praticato il tuo italiano ?" (Have you practiced your Italian ?"

"Sì. È nel mio cervello ora" (Yes. It's in my brain now)

She giggled harder and a red flush crossed her cheeks. " Sono felice" (I am glad)
