You were downstairs in your kitchen eating a bowl of fruit, leaning your elbows on the counter. You heard footsteps behind you and stood up straight before turning around.
Penelope was walking toward you in a light pink romper with white accents. It was flowy at the bottom and she had fake flower clips in her curled hair that matched.
You tossed a piece of a strawberry in your mouth and leaned your back against the counter as you smirked. "Good morning, gorgeous."
She stood in front of you and giggled. "Good morning." She leaned over and grabbed a strawberry from your bowl of fruit. "You told me to get dressed up. So, where are we going?" She asked as she ate the strawberry.
"We aren't going anywhere." You said as you crossed your arms.
She slightly furrowed her brows and tilted her head to the side.
"You're going."
She shook her head. "Now I'm lost."
"My driver is on his way to pick you up. I'm making you take a day to yourself to enjoy Italy." You reached into your bag on the counter and grabbed an envelope. You handed the envelope and she took it with her brows still furrowed. "Here's some cash. He's gonna take you to some of my favorite places to shop, buy whatever you want. Then you can go do whatever you want, relax by the beach, walk around Venice. Whatever you'd like." You explained.
Her expression softened. "Is this a joke?" She asked.
You softly chuckled. "Why would it be?"
"I- Just- I-" She stuttered while looking at the envelope in her hand. "How much money is this?" She asked quietly as she looked up at you.
"Enough." You said.
"Oh my god." She shook her head before letting out an adorable giggle. "I can't with you."
You softly smiled before there was a knock at the door and you both looked over in the direction of it.
"I'll get it!" Angela called out.
Giuseppe, your driver, walked into the kitchen with a black suit on and sunglasses. "Bongiorno." He said.
You both walked over to him. "Good morning, Giuseppe. This is Penelope, Penelope this is Giuseppe. He's gonna be driving you around today."
They shook each others hands. "Nice to meet you." Penelope said with a soft smile.
"Likewise."
You turned yourself to stand in front of Penelope. "Enjoy your day, call me if you need anything." You leaned in and laid a gentle kiss on her cheek.
"Thank you." She said softly with a smile on her face.
"You two have fun." You said as you looked at the both of them.
Giuseppe stepped aside and let Penelope walk out first. You walked to the doorway and watched as he opened the back door to the black SUV for her to get in. You leaned against the doorway with your arms crossed. Before she got in the car she looked back at you and smiled.
You softly smiled to yourself and gave her a small wave before she got in the car and Giuseppe closed the door.
You watched the car pull away before you walked back inside and closed the door behind you. You walked into the living room and walked down the small step into the conversation pit. You sat on the couch and took a deep breath before your eyes wandered over to your laptop sitting on the coffee table.
Without thinking twice you grabbed the laptop and laid your feet out in front of you as you placed the laptop on your lap. You turned it on and started typing away.
