Mi Náufrago

Una Probadita

*In Rome*
Luna's POV:

"Benvenuti a tutti!" A dirty blonde guy with dark brown eyes said to Perla and I as we had gotten off the plane.

"Cugino! Ciao! Come stai?" Perla said hi to him and gave him the typical double kiss and hug to him.

"Sto bene. Oh! And who is this bella donna?" He asked while he spotted me. Without another word, he came straight towards where I was.

"Ciao!" Was the only thing I said before he embraced me in a hug and double kissed me on the cheeks. I totally didn't expect that.

"She is my good friend Luna." Perla introduced me to him.

"So you are the one and only famous Luna huh? It's a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Maxim but you can call me Max." He told me and I smiled. He suddenly took my hand and pulled up to his lips, laying a gentle kiss on the top.

"Oh! Wow, that's... Very sweet of you." I only said and looked over to Perla, whom was holding back a big laugh.

"You guys should be exhausted. Come, I'll pack the car and drive you guys to the house." Maxim said.

"What? No, I told you we had reserved a room at this Bed & Breakfast Inn. I thought I was clear with that." Perla said and put a hand on her hip.

"You are in Rome. I live here and I won't let no cousin ,with her friend, of mine stay in an Inn for tonight. Whenever we go to the party tomorrow, we can stay in a hotel if you want. You should save that money, I'm just saying." Maxim said and picked up our luggage.

Both of us just looked at each other in confusion, for a couple of seconds but then we just ended following him with our luggage. The car he drove wasn't as big as we thought, we even thought our luggage wasn't going to fit, but it did.

In less than 15 minutes we arrived at the Inn we had a room reserved. I looked at Perla and she looked at me back in confusion. "I'm not mean nor will force you guys to do anything, but I respect what my cousin says. You guys won't pay all the check, I'll make sure a friend of mine give you guys a good discount." Maxim winked at us and got off the car.

"I think he likes you." Perla said and slapped me gently in my arm.

"Don't start." I told and got off the car. We grabbed our luggage and entered the Inn. The Inn itself wasn't that bad, it had it's luxurious details and all but it wasn't that big as a 5 star hotel. Well that's what I thought of it up until I saw our room.

It was a huge suite with two bedrooms. As you walked inside,the first thing you saw was a huge wide window with white curtains. I couldn't resist on running over to it and see the landscape it held. The landscape was breathtaking as it was the gorgeous city of Rome just by this small looking beach on a housetop.

It was just passing through the back of parking lot. Everything was beautiful and a bit luxurious. I loved it... Well WE loved it.

"I'm taking the first room!" Perla shouted and we both ran like kids to check out the rooms. Both rooms were enormous but I liked one of them better than the other.

"I like this one." I said as I had just opened the room to see it. There was a Queen size bed right in front of me with teal and white sheets. The color of the room itself was white with golden borders. To me, it looked like a palace room.

"I don't like the colors, you stay here I'll get the other room." Perla said and turned to leave.

"I wanted to stay here anyways." I shouted at her and she only waved back. I noticed I still carried my bags so I put them in the bed.

I began to unpack and placed my clothes in the drawers and closet. Once I stepped inside the bathroom, I stood frozen in place. The shower, the toilet and the hand washer were close to the entrance. But once you walked in further, there was a huge jacuzzi.

"But what is..." I stuttered to myself as I admired the stuff in the bathroom. There were towels of all sizes, soaps that smelled beautiful, shampoo and conditioners, even body oils that smelled and made you feel like if you were in heaven.

My legs were getting weak as I saw all this beauty. "And I'll be staying here a month? Yeah... I'm in love with Italy now." I tried to stop admiring everything and went back out to the room to keep unpacking.

*That night*

We both relaxed and took a nice long shower after the long trip over here. We laid in the fluffy carpet in the small living room by the entrance when Perla's phone suddenly rang.

"Can you answer that?" She said.

"And why me, if the one who's calling them is you not me." I replied as I put my arm over my face. She growled a bit before her stomps were heard across the room.

"Ciao cugino! Ah ha... No nothing, why?... Em, right now?... YES! WOO HOO! I'LL TELL HER. Yes, I'll see you there, Ciaaaooo!"

"What in the world did he tell you?" I asked after she hung up and shouted at the phone at the end.

"Guess what?" She said jumping in the sofa and sitting down in a cool position.

"Just tell me!" I gently hit her knee and she smiled.

"We are invited to our first Italian party!" She raised her arms as she was in some kind of concert.

"Really? That's great! I just hope your cousin has good taste on parties. I don't want it to be like last year's party." I warned her as we both remembered that lame party we went before going back to school.

"Oh no! My cousin knows about the awesome kind of parties. Where do you think I get the great ideas to organize parties? I have it in my veins, it runs in all my body. The party is in me!" I laughed as she rubbed her arms and neck as she said this stupidness.

"Perla, sometimes I think your mom dropped you when you were little and you ended up being all crazy like right now." I said to her and she threw a small pillow at my face, ending both laughing like crazy.

"Wait! I just remembered that I didn't bring pretty shoes for the dress I last bought." She said.

"Is this for real? You're going to simple party not a beach party. Just take some nice sandals and it'll be okay." She sure likes to complicate her life sometimes.

"Ah. But what if there's a dance floor? Huh?" She crossed her arms and stared at me. "Plus, the color of the sandals I brought don't match with the dress."

"I'll let you borrow ones okay? Now let's go before I say no because I'm really tired. Or are you just not going because you have no shoes?" I stood up in front of her and she only stared at me.

She then smiled and said, "No. We came here to have fun." She stood up and continued, "You're the best!" She then hugged me for an eternity before she dragged me to her room.

I nodded and followed her down the hall. After finishing up with her dressing situation, I went to my room and searched for the perfect dress. It was a simple one, nothing too bright or attractive looking. I picked up my long dirty blonde hair from the front and let the ends fall in their wavy form.

My make-up was simple: eyeliner, eye shadow, and a little bit of mascara... Something so... Well, me. I took a small purse and put my wallet and cellphone in. I lastly glanced over myself in the big mirror and smiled. "At least today I'll be experiencing a little taste of Italy and it's parties."
