***trigger warning: mention of sexual assualt
After the first day spent with Timothée, Lucia simply could not stop thinking about the boy. She never saw a boy as handsome as him. Timmy's green eyes seemed to have casted a spell that she could not escape. Giovanni had been ignoring his sister since that night Timmy brought her home. He was mad at Andrea for letting Lucia be with Timmy. And even though Lucia had no problem with Andrea, she was still mad at him for fighting with Giovanni. This caused an endless cycle of awkward, silent torture between the siblings.
Lucia wanted things to be better with both of her brothers; however, she was too stubborn to give in and talk to either of them first. After all they were the ones that acted like animals fighting in the front yard. Lucia's Nonna did not approve of this behavior and had the boys doing endless chores around the house.
Lucia had to figure a way to sneak away to go and meet Timothée within the city of Lodi. Luckily, Lucia's Nonno said he would distract the boys for her. He claimed that you only get to be young once, that Lucia had to live her life to thr fullest. Nonetheless, she was happy that her grandfather would distract her two brothers.
Lucia began the journey to Lodi around 11 o'clock since she had to walk and it would take some time to get there. It was a cooler summer day with a nice breeze in the air. It had already been a month since Lucia had been in Italy. Lucia only had a month and a week until she would have to fly back home to the U.S. She wondered if Timmy and her would remain friends.
By the time Lucia had arrived it was almost noon. To past the time and to keep her nerves at bay, she browsed through the tourist magazines outside the bike rental place. It showed all the popular tourist attractions to visit within Italy. Lucia loved Italy, but she always wondered what other countries were like. She only had visited France and Germany. One day she hoped she could visit more places.
"Is this where I sign up for personal tours?", a familiar voice says behind her. Lucia turns around startled which makes her drop the magazine.
"You jerk", she pouts jokingly. "You scared me", she laughs putting thr magazine back smiling at the boy.
"My bad, my bad", he says defensively putting his hands up. "So what do you have planned for me today?", he raises an eyebrow.
Lucia finds herself smiling widely at the boy. Timmy is wearing a salmon pink button up, with a jeans and a matching jean jacket. His hair is messy from the wind making him look extremely hot.
"I don't know", she shrugs trying to hide a smirk. "You'll have to wait and see...", Lucia trails off as she begins to walk into the bike rental place.
