The Italian Man

Chapter 9: Girl's Day!

Veronica

After I got out the bath I put a white robe over myself and made my way into my room. I put on some comfy pjs and made my way out to our little kitchen area. I grabbed a tub of ice cream and whipped cream from the fridge and two spoons. I sat down next to Dani who looked at me with a little worry in her eyes and I sent her a small smile.

"I don't mean to pry.." She started to say as I handed her a spoon.

"Men ain't shit" I said cutting her off shoving a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth.

"Agreed" She replied laughing.

Dani and I spent the rest of the night eating ice cream and talking about how guys suck. I told her what happened after I left and to say she was pissed was an understatement. She wanted to find this girl and rip her hair out so did I but people like that aren't worth it.

"Dani can I sleep with you tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah V that ain't no problem." She replied.

We went to bed around 3 am, well Dani slept I just watched the time go by. I was so upset at how everything turned out. I mean of course I thought it was crazy that hot Italian guy took intrest in me but I like to think that I was pretty attractive. I just couldn't believe how this woman that he was messing with disrespected me like that and if that's who he surrounds himself with then that's probably who he is.

The thoughts just kept going through my mind so around 5:30 I decided to get up since I couldn't really sleep. I walked to the living room area, pushed all the furniture back to created a small dance floor. I grabbed my phone and saw 1 missed call and 3 texts from Giovanni, I rolled my eyes telling myself I'll deal with his bullshit later, maybe never.

I opened up Spotify, and started to play Make it Rain by Ed Sheeran. I dance my whole life up until I started high school where I found my love for softball. But dance has a special place in my heart that will never leave.

As the music started to play my body started to move on its own accord. Using my emotions to fuel me, I poured my heart out on my little makeshift dance floor. I got lost in the music and used my dancing to express how I felt.

Every time I let someone in I always get hurt, and I'm just over it at this point. I don't think my heart will be able to take it.

Once the song was over I realized that a few stray tears rolled down my face. I sat on the floor listening to music until darkness over took me.

The next morning I woke up to knocking at our hotel door. I opened the door to be greeted by a bellboy holding white roses.

"Buongiorno signora." he greeted handing me the flowers.

"Grazie." I thanked him grabbing the flowers.

The flowers could only be from one person and I wanted nothing to do with Giovanni at this point. There was a white card that came with the flowers that I took out to read.

'I'm sorry Bella, please call me' the card read.

I rolled my eyes and decided to fix the living room area back to how it was. Once that was done I took a nice hot shower and went to grab some clothes. I wanted to go out and explore today and have a girls day with Dani. We only have 3 more days until we head back to the states.

While trying to put together an outfit I realized that I left my overnight bag in Giovanni's car.. FUCK.

Once my outfit was picked I grabbed my phone to see that it was 11 am. Dani was still sleeping so I went to wake her and let her know of our plans.

After waking her, I went to the kitchen and made some avocado toast and a cup of coffee. Once I was done eating I decided to call my parents to see how they're doing and catch up. I really missed them, I can't wait to be back home.

Even though I really didn't want to speak to Giovanni , I needed my clothes. So I called him.

"Bella" He answered.

"Giovanni, I need my clothes.." I said.

"Si, when can can I drop them off" He asked.

"I have plans to go out soon but if you could bring them now that would be great" I replied.

"Okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes." He said.

I hung up and headed to Dani's room to see her getting dressed. I just kinda chilled with her until someone knocked at our front door.

She looked at me with her eye brow raise, as if to ask me who was there.

" I left my clothes in Giovanni's car last night" I told her.

She nodded and I made my way to the front to answer the door.

"Bella, Hi.." He said.

"Thank you for bringing my clothes." I told him grabbing my bag. I went to shut the door because I have nothing to say to him but he stuck his foot through the door not allowing me to close it.

"Bella please, I'm sorry" he pleaded.

"What Giovanni? What do you want from me? You let that bitch call me out my name and every damn name in the fucking book while you stood there like a dumbass! You let me be humiliated at disrespected while you did nothing! And you fucked her and had the audacity to kiss me with that dirty mouth of yours. So my fault if I don't want a half assed apologize from you. I'm done okay, this is done." I snapped.

He looked shocked that I didn't accept his apology as if I HAD to accept it .. Bullshit.

With that being said I slammed the door in his face.

"Hey Dani, are you ready to go?" I asked.

"Yeah let me just put my shoes on." She said.

Once she was ready we headed down to the lobby and went out. I saw Giovanni just wandering around the lobby but I just kept my head straight and walked out.

"What do you wanna do V?" She asked.

"Well I was thinking we could explore and do some touristy things and get some great food." I replied.

We ended up going to the Trevi Fountain and some more historic sights in Italy. Taking cute fun polaroids everywhere we went. By the time 7 came, both Dani and I were pretty hungry, so we grabbed a bite to eat. I don't even remember the name of the restaurant but the food was soooooo good. We ended getting some gelato as dessert too, which was equally as good.

"Are you ready to leave?" Dani asked.

"No, I actually really love it here" I replied sadly.

"Same, I kinda just wanna stay here and forget." She said.

I smiled giving her a smile.

"Are you gonna talk to Givonnai before we leave?" she asked.

"Talk to him for what? We have nothing to talk about." I said.

"Well, I don't know... I've never seen you so excited and happy before and I just want you to be happy" She said, giving me a small hug.

"Yeah, I know." I sighed.

After that we walked back to the hotel in a quiet silence. After we got back to the hotel I hopped in the shower put on some comfy pjs and sat in bed. I put my phone on the charger and saw I had a few texts. One from Giovanni and others from some friends and family.

I read Giovanni's text and it read,

I know you don't want to talk to me but please just hear me out.."

I mentally rolled my eyes and sighed. I don't really like holding grudges so I guess maybe I'll hear him out before I go.

With that final thought I drifted off into a deep slumber.
