I never thought I'd ever say to myself when I first arrived here that Tori and I have been seeing a lot of each other.

Dare I even say I've started feeling more for her.

After our little date a few days ago, we had more run ins and she's even taken me to see more hidden spots in Sicily.

We've had more intimate moments. No sex of any kind like she said. But we've held hands, had numerous make out sessions, soft kisses and she's even spent a night in my room.

That night was honestly everything. I re-explained my way of eating Oreo's to her and she finally got it. Thereafter we just talked a lot before inevitably falling asleep.

Or I fell asleep and somehow her arm was draped around me. But during the early hours of the morning, she was gone. And it was barely four in the morning.

But I haven't seen much of her the last two days. I know she's busy. The whole day I've been with Kylo, relaxing around the house and trying to think of things to do.

No one's been around all day. Not anyone I care to talk to anyways.

My phone started ringing and I looked to see who it was.

Anna

I immediately picked up.

"Hello." I spoke.

"Belle. How are you?" She asked me excitedly.

"Hey Anna, I'm good how are you?" I asked her

"I'm good. Arman is sending us to Italy next week." She said.

"Why?" I asked a little stunned.

To be honest, I didn't care they were coming here because they could be anywhere in Italy. But I didn't like the idea of my two worlds colliding. I missed my friends, of course, but I also know I'm doing fine without them.

Everyone back home knows I came here for my solo mission. While everyone here knows nothing.

And call it selfish if you will but Grey has been the last thing on my mind lately, he doesn't make me feel things like Tori does.

"He said we all needed a break before the annual ball and fall meeting. So we're coming out there." She said all excitedly. I stayed quiet on my end analysing what she's just said.

"Why do I get the feeling you aren't exactly happy about this." Anna said quietly noticing how silent I'd become.

"No, sorry, I am. Where in Italy will you l guys be?" I asked her.

"Sicily where else?" She said in a 'duh' tone. "Arman said he'd talk to Victoria already. We'd be staying with you. Oh that reminds me how's the mission coming along? Have you met Victoria already?" Anna asked fully explaining.

My blood boiled with confusion and annoyance. Why did they have to come here. Why couldn't they have gone to Brazil where it's warm or Hungary if they wanted another country in Europe. Why Italy?

"It's coming along fine. What do you mean staying here?" I asked as calmly as I could.

"I'm not entirely sure but Arman told us, the three of us would stay at the saints place, per Victoria's request."

"Victoria's request." I echoed her words.

"Yeah. Greys so excited to see you. He's thinking of buying you a gift but hes not sure what yet. Anything you'd like in particular?" She asked me. I could hear her move around so I knew she was doing something.
