Hello everyone!! This has been my favorite chapter to write so far. I picture Luca as Theo James <3 Let me know what y'all think!! Enjoy :)

My heart is literally racing. The guy just stands there staring at me and I can't seem to stop staring back. You know those moments you see in movies where the girl meets the guy and instantly falls in love? Well I didn't know that was actually possible, but it seems I was wrong. Once I finally take a breath, I take in his appearance. This man is beyond gorgeous. He has short brown wavy hair that is pushed back perfectly, dark brown eyes that you could get lost in, a 6 o clock shadow that enhances his features, and I can tell he is built... really built. He is wearing black pants with a black sport coat and a white button down shirt that has most of the top buttons undone so you can see the top of his chest. And that accent might be the sexiest thing I have ever heard.

I can tell neither one of us knows what to say and neither one of us wants to break our stare. I finally build up the courage to smile and say, "Again I am so sorry. I really need to watch where I am going." He smiles back and I swoon. His teeth are so perfectly straight and so perfectly white. He has one the prettiest smiles I've ever seen. "Really it is okay. I'm Luca. And you are, signora?" He puts his hand out towards me. I slowly put my hand in his and he brings it up to his lips and kisses it. "I uh I'm.. I'm Jane," I say trying to stay cool, but who can stay cool at a time like this. He lowers my hand down but doesn't let go. "Well, Jane, it is really nice to meet you," he replies looking into my eyes again. I look down blushing. "Unfortunately I must go," Luca says, "but hopefully we will see each other again one day." He squeezes my hand, smiles, then lets go and walks away. I watch him walk towards the exit with another guy and then leaves.

I don't understand what just happened. How can someone have such an affect on you when you don't even know them. Liam has never made me feel that way. Ever. It was like we had an instant connection and I think he felt it too. And then when he kissed my hand, I felt like I was going to melt into a puddle. I wonder if I will see him again? I feel like I have to see him again. Maybe this trip will truly change my life forever.

I see Mandy walking towards me, which breaks my chain of thought. She isn't walking very straight and I think that is our que to head back to the hotel. When she reaches me I tell her, "Hey I think it is time we head back. Remember we have class in the morning." I see the rest of my classmates heading towards us. We all decide it's best to leave. It is about a 20 minute walk back to the hotel. Once we get back, I help Mandy take off her makeup and get in her pajamas. She keeps going on and on about the guy she was dancing with. "Did you see the way he was dancing with me? Or the way he kissed me? It was AMAZING," she says excitedly. I smile back at her, " I did see. We can talk about it in the morning. How about you get some rest." We say our good nights and as I'm drifting off, I get a text from my mom. I realize then that I haven't texted anyone back home since I got here. I had a few missed calls from Liam, a couple of texts from Emily, and few from my mom. They must have called and texted me while I was in the club. I send them all a quick text saying:"Sorry. I am just now seeing this. It has been a long day. I promise I will call you tomorrow. Love you."

Liam instantly replies back. "I have been so worried. I hope you are having a great time. I miss you so much baby. I can't wait until I get to see you again. Love you so much." I then realized that I hadn't really thought about Liam since I have been here, especially in the club when I met Luca. I then started to feel a little guilty because the way I was thinking about Luca, is not the way I think about Liam. But maybe this is a sign. I have been contemplating if I should stay in a relationship with Liam, and I think I have finally made my decision. I know what you are thinking, but this decision has nothing to do with Luca. I think to be able to find my true self, I need to be free to do so. I just don't want to hurt him.

I finally fall asleep, excited for what tomorrow holds.
