⚠️⚠️I apologize beforehand. This story is under subtle reconstruction, so please do not get confused if you see changes midway. It's still the most beautiful love story you'd read, so please give it a chance.⚠️⚠️ "What in the world, kid?" The roar erupted from the sleek Lamborghini as its owner, a man who could easily pass for a Greek deity, emerged from the luxurious vehicle. Scratch that, he practically embodied one. But wait, did he just refer to me as a 'kid'? For heaven's sake, I'm 23! "Are you out of your damn mind?" I snapped back to reality as his furious voice pierced through. Despite his mesmerizing Italian accent, my anger still simmered. How could he? After nearly running me over, he had the audacity to label me a child and throw in some profanity. In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away.
