Ruggero. p.o.v

In the mid night it's the same thing over and over, it's 4;30 a.m and here we go, the loud annoying beeping sound  of my alarm clock making me know it's time to roll out of bed. As I wake up, slowly pulling the comforter off me and grasping every last moment of comfort, I rub the sleep out of my eye and groggily stand up.

I walk into my closet and threw on a running outfit, one of my favorite things to do before starting the day it's to take jog in the local park. My mind will clear and I will be able to stop thinking about Veronica and also about the couple interview Anna and I  got with ABC news.

Entering the park, a slightly breeze rustles the leaves making them fall, to the ground one by one, the sun begins to rise. The park is barren except from some few couple of fellow joggers.

The joggers offers variety of scenery, which make the jogging more worthwhile, as the end of the jog nears, my mind is refreshed and and my body is energized for the day.

I walked home and it was already 6;00, No one was awake except from the bodyguard and some of the maids, knowing Anna she is probably still on bed. I walk to the bathroom and and stripped down my cloths.

I stepped into the shower, toes flinching as the touch the chilled ceramic floor hands falls to the lever and the water begins to releasing thousands luke drops, so cold at first that I almost groan it out. Then the stream thickens, warm, steam rises to my aching face. Though the heat brings pleasure.

After taking a shower, I walked I to my closet and dressed into a blue suit with matching pants.

I headed downstairs, the dining room was exquisite, the walls are covers into shining white paper and in the middle of the ceiling above the large white table was a Green plastic flower ornaments

I headed downstairs, the dining room was exquisite, the walls are covers into shining white paper and in the middle of the ceiling above the large white table was a Green plastic flower ornaments. At the end of the table were a floor to ceiling French door, left slightly ajar to let in the scented summer air. At each place stood a tall empty juice glass and there were beautiful folded napkins to match runner. All that was missing was the guests.

The moment I slid into my chair I'm with a platter of food, egg, ham, pancakes, a turned of frits sits in ice to keep it chilled and am elegant glass of orange juice beside the plate. At the end of the table at a happy anna, with a simple make up and descent cloths with her hair pulled up in a neat ponytail.

"Good morning ruggero" Anna greeted, I nodded my head before resuming to my food.

"I want to invite Veronica to stay some days here  " she locked at me straight in the eye before looking back at her plate, I drop my fork and look at her raising my eyebrow.

"Excuse me"

"I said I want Veronica to stay here for some days, this house is huge and I'm here alone, you are either working or who knows where, it's just going to be a few days "

"No" I said calmly

"This is my house also, I take decision too ruggero"

"No, this is my house, I bought it with my money and you seem to forget that"
