HIM

Chapter 14

"C'mon stop playing and teach me some Italian" I said to Angel when we sat outside in the garden. 

"alright, alright. so lets first learn the basics" she said. "how do you say thank you"

"Grazie"

"good. now if you wanna say your welcome you're say Mi Scusi"

"ok what's next hit me with harder words"

"do you know how to say good morning, good evening, and good night?" 

"yes. good morning is Buon giorno, Good evening is Buona sera, and good night is Buona notte"

"nice girl you're a quick learner" she added. "lets learn some phrases for when you meet and greet someone"

"alright"

"if you wanna ask someone whether they speak English you ask Parla inglese?"

"and what if some asks me if I speak in Italian but I don't speak it very well what do I tell them?"

"you say Mi dispiace, ma non parlo bene l'italiano"

"damm its so hard I'll never get it I'm as slow as a freakin turtle"

"oh Lana have some faith. if you practise it everyday you'll be great within a few months I reckon" she said. "why do you wanna learn Italian anyways? you have Sweden and English"

"I know but I wanna be able to understand what you all saying. and I think its a cool language to learn while I'm here

"is it for who I think it is?"

"no, its not for Giovanni if thats what you're asking"

"hw are you guys, while we're on that subject?" 

"Fine I guess, we haven't really talked I don't know whats happening to him"

"trust me Lana he's happy that things are finally good between you guys. he's just taking it slow he was never in a serious relationship before so give him time"

"I know and I agree with him, with taking things slow" I added. "what about you? how come I know nothing about your personal life? tell me is there some one special?"

"W-what? no"

"oh don't lie to me angel I see right through you... so who is it? Lorenzo?"

silence. she looked down and I could see her cheeks become red.

"I knew it. I freakin knew it why won't you do anything about it?"

"what can I do about it? he doesn't like me Lana"

"oh Come on Angel I'm sure he does. you are beautiful he would be stupid not to like you" I said. 

"what do I do? I've liked him for the longest time ever"

"tell him, what if he feels the same way?"

"no he wont"

"your confidence is just beyond. have some faith girl" I replied. 

"oh shit. fuck Lana" she said jumping out the bench. 

"what, what happened?"

"I totally forgot. fuck its Lorenzo's 27th Birthday Tomorrow"

"well then what's the problem? let's organise him a massive birthday party here?"

"you think? we'd have to tell everyone though"

"so? whats the problem? here firstly we can tell Giuseppe, Emilio and Francesco since Giovanni gave them orders to be my guards 24/7" I replied. "Hey guys Come here for a second"
