no more skipping ropes,
skipping heart beats
with the boys downtown

The first day of summer was always Summers favorite. And not because it was her name. She loved the way the bright sun warmed her tan skin as the hot wind blew around her. Her long brown hair swayed down her back as she skipped through the garden, and past her mother's winery, toward the castle like house.

The first day of summer symbolized freedom to the girl. A time where she truly let herself be herself.

As she approached the house she noticed the families driver pulling out of the long driveway. She thought it was strange considering no one else seemed to be in the car. Instead of overthinking it she decides to roam into the kitchen catching her mother in a rush.

"Hi mamma, what's the rush?" Summer ask with a head tilt

"First client of the summer season is arriving soon, I'm off the the winery to meet them" Her mother, Valentina, replies with a warming smile.

"Oh how lovely, mind if I go out with some friends?" Summer ask before her mother can run off.

"Of course not, just be home for dinner" She smiles and exits through the back door.

Summer understood that today was the start of a busy few months for her mother, who owned a successful winery in Tuscany, Italy. Summer didn't mind however, for it only gave her more liberty's. Without any further waiting Summer begins to call her boyfriend, Giovanni, who answers on the second ring.

"Hello beautiful" his raspy voice comes through the phone. He didn't know english all to well, but he tried his best, especially for Summer, who was fluent in both languages.

"Ciao bello" "hello handsome" she smiles into the phone.

"Why the call?" he asks in what Summer believes is the sweetest voice on earth.

"Well what are you doing?" she asks.

"Market" he responds after a pause.

"Do you wanna meet up after you are done?" she ask hopefully. She desperately misses her boyfriend.

"Yes when, where" he responds quickly and brings a bright smile to Summers face.

"Not sure when, the driver left a while ago and I'm not sure when he'll be home"

"Where do want to go?" he ask her instead

"Hmm how about Mancini's, then a movie, then your house? Is that good?" She responds quickly, she's always been the type to know what she wants.

"Yes that's good, tell me when you leave house" He responds to her agreeing.

"Kk see you lovey" she smiles and waits for his goodbye.

"Baci" "kisses" he responds before the line goes dead.

Summer Immediately shoots up the stairs and down the hall to her bedroom to begin getting ready. She turns on her speaker and puts it as loud as it goes. She prances around throwing clothes onto her bed attempting to make an outfit.
