I knew it, I know you

My...girlfriend

Albert POV

We spent our last day together. Now Gracie was with me in my car trying to maintain a brave expression. We reached the airport.

-So that's it? - She said forcing a smile.

-"Yes. - I said feeling the tension.-But I'll only be traveling for two weeks. I'll call you every night.

-I know... I'll just miss you.

Gracie looked at me. She looked stressed.

-' And I'll miss you too.'I open the car door, but pause before I get out. - Gracie, you have to say exactly one word to stop me. If you want I can refuse...

-Shut up. - She laughed.-This is a big chance for you, Albert. We're in this together and I can't take that away from you.

I got out of the car, and she did the same and hugged me.

-'' Knock them down. I will watch every show and support you. - Gray whispered and kissed my forehead as she lifted up on her toes.

-I'll do my best.

-'Call me when you get to Milan.

-' Okay.' I smile and take my luggage from the car. She climbs into the front seat and waves at me.

I watch Gracie drive off in my car.

When I arrived in Milan, the excitement hit me immediately. It was the first stop of my European tour, and everything felt new and exhilarating. After a meeting with the Versace team, I was heading back to my hotel when I bumped into someone in the lobby.

-Hey, you must be Albert Christian, right? - said a cheerful voice.

I turned to see a woman with a bright smile and vibrant energy. -Yeah, that's me. And you are...?

-Sophie Green, - she said, extending her hand. -I'm performing at the Versace show. It's my first big gig in Europe.

I shook her hand, feeling an immediate connection. -Nice to meet you, Sophie. I'm modeling for the show. It's my first big gig here too.

She laughed. -Well, looks like we're both in the same boat. How are you finding Milan so far?

-It's amazing. A bit overwhelming, but in a good way. How about you?

-Oh, definitely overwhelming, - Sophie admitted. -But I'm loving every moment. Maybe we could explore the city together when we have some free time?

-That sounds great. I'd love to.

-When you are free?

-When are you free?

I stopped and looked at my phone.

-I need to call a guy, but maybe later tonight I can. - I smile.

-'Okay.' She hands me her number. - 'When you're done with this guy you can call me.

-'Thank you.'I started to leave, but she stopped me.

-Who is this guy?

A smile painted itself on my face.

-My... girlfriend.

-Oh... won't she be jealous?- she joked.

-I won't give her a reason to.

Then I got on the elevator and pushed the button. I opened the door. The room was large, with a spacious balcony, a king-size bed, a classic bathroom and a sofa. I took the phone out of my bag as soon as I saw all the gifts I had received.
