The Italian Man

Chapter 3: Gelato & Room Service

Veronica

Daniella and I decided to stay in for the rest of the day, like who really wants to go out after getting completely wasted the night before. Since there really wasn't much to do in the hotel room Dani and I decided to to order room service and have a dance party.

"Dani what do you want from room service?" I asked her.

"Um can we get gelato and some pizza or something?" She replied.

"Sounds like a plan, I just want to be a couch potato today." I said

After I called room service I turned on the speaker and blasted the music. We danced to every thing you could think of, it was just fun to be in each other's presence. It didn't mattered how stupid we looked, we were having fun. During our little dance party someone called the hotel phone, we took this time like breathe and I turned down the music a little bit. I wasn't familiar with the number but I thought it was room service so I answered anyways.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Who's this?" The person replied, it was a man as far as I could tell and he had an Italian accent.

"You tell me you called me." I said chuckling.

"I only called because you called me earlier and hung up in my face signornia." The man replied.

I put the phone to my chest and turned to Dani.

"Holy Shit Dani, the guy I called earlier just called back what do I do?" I asked her.

All she did was laugh. I honestly can't stand this girl, I don't even know how we're friends.

"Hello?" Said the man.

"Yeah, sorry I got distracted for a second." I replied. "So I was just wondering how your number got into my bag last night.."

"You don't remember, do you." He said chuckling.

"I mean if I'm asking you, no not really." I replied.

"Have dinner with me." He said.

"Have dinner with you? You could be a serial killer for all I know." I replied.

"Please just one dinner and I will explain everything signorina." He pleaded.

"Fine just one dinner and it has to be in a public place." I told him.

"See you soon signorina." He replied and hung up.

Holy crap, did I really just agree to go on a date with a complete and total stranger. What am I gonna do?

"Dani, what did I just do?" I looked at her wide eyed.

"You just got yourself a date" Dani said smirking.

"But I mean we didn't pick a date, or time. I am so confused right now, and I overthinking it-" I babbled.

"V, shut up it isn't that serious. He'll call back he has no choice." She said.

She's right maybe I am overthinking it.. Wait I even have anything to wear? I'll worry about it when the time comes I guess. During my little metal breakdown the front desk called yo let us know that we could come pick up our food. I found a little odd that we had to get our food from the front desk but I didn't mind. I changed into something a little more appropriate and made my way down to the elevator. I clicked the button for the elevator to come to my floor and when it finally did , the doors opened up to reveal a man in a grey colored suit and sunglasses. He looked pretty young maybe about 22, but I mean who wears sunglasses inside?  Weird .. but me being the friendly person I am decided to try and make conversation.

"So lovely weather we're having today." I said smiling at him.

"Yes, I guess you can say so." The man replied with an Italian accent.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I own this hotel signornia." He replied, with a huge smirk on his face.

My eyes widened as big as saucers and my mouth formed an O and guessing from my face, the mystery man found it amusing because he let out a chuckle. Thankfully the elevator doors opened to reveal the hotel lobby.

"Well, this is my stop. Nice to meet you!" I said while my face was a red as it could go and basically running out the elevator.

After picking up the pizza and gelato I made my way back to my room where Dani is waiting, I unlock the door and set everything down in our little living area. We watched a couple of episode of Gossip Girl on Netflix and shameless. By this time it was already 6:30 o I decided to hop in the shower and get dressed because most dates are usually around 7 right? I don't now but better safe then sorry.

"Dani, can you help me pick out an outfit please?" I asked her.

"Ugh, okayy." She replied

"Thanks, I love you." I said with a smile on my face, while hugging her to death. "I'm just gonna take a quick shower."

I hopped into the shower and turned on the water all the way to hot which made steam start to fill the room. Mhm, just as I like it. I could feel my muscles starting to relax and just kinda stood there taking in the heat. After about 15 minutes I hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself and opened the door to find Dani on my bed with her phone in her hands. I looked at the outfit she picked and instantly fell in love. It was a type of dress that you could either wear up or down and it had really nice embellishments on it.

"Thanks Dani, it's super cute" I told her.

I only got a nod in response letting me know that she heard me. I did my makeup full face because I have to make a good first impression, took the flexi rods out of my hair and proceeded to actually put on the dress and some cute shoes. When I was finally done I check the time on my phone to see that it was 7:49. Just ask I was about to walk to the fridge for a glass of water I heard at knock on the door. 'Right on time." I thought to myself. I opened the door only to find the guy in the elevator ? My face starts to heat up from thinking about what happened on the elevator.

"Are you ready to go signornia?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

My jaw dropped, he was my date ? Oh my goodness, how could this day get any worse.
