DIANA

Dante... Dante, I continued muttering as I was led into the elevator and up to my room.

I was enamored by the man and I had only just been here for two seconds. It was like the lord's way of telling me that he had approved my movement and was behind me in support. I thanked the man who had brought my luggage in a broken and very horrible Spanish and when he continued looking at me, I reached into my purse and brought out a hundred dollars note. I smiled in embarrassment and handed it over to him which he took and then shook his head muttering in English about dumb tourist which he probably took me for.

I should not have bothered, I thought as I slammed the door behind him to express my annoyance at his use of swear words on me.

It did not matter anyways, I wasn't going to be here for long and I would not have to put up with such disgusting behavior but I was tempted to report him to the hotel.

I wondered if the stranger was a guest in the hotel like I was but it was highly unlikely. He was definitely Italian judging by the sleek hair and beautiful demeanor.

"Diana, you are here to have a new life and not gawk at Italian men." I told myself

No matter how utterly attractive they are

I opened my purse and brought out my phone to place a call home, it would do no good if my brothers start bitching about my move just because I had not placed a call to them on time about my arrival.

"Di" Jason's voice filtered through the receiver

"Hey big brother" I mocked, laying on my back with a huge smile on my face.

"I take it that you are calling us from your hotel room?" He asked

I could hear noise in the background and could only guess they all wanted to speak to me. I wasn't even gone for twenty four hours and they were already clamoring

"Yes, I just arrived" I told him

"Mother won't stop hounding me so I am about to pass the phone to her. Do take care of yourself, sweet sister" He told me

I smiled at this, he was the kindest of my brothers

"Diana, I hear you are already in Italy. It wasn't too much of a hassle, I presume" My mother's voice rang

"It wasn't mother and I want you to stop bothering yourself. I will be fine and I do not need you worrying over me, I am a big girl now"

"I do not doubt that for a minute but you cannot tell me not to worry about you. I worry about your brothers too and my grand babies" she said

"Okay mother, I have to go"

My mother grunted in disapproval but bid me goodbye not after telling me to call her if I needed anything with my new life.

I hung up and smiled to the ceiling before I began giggling. As much as I considered it a challenge being in a country where I would probably not understand what is being said by the person next to me, I was excited.

I arranged my clothes in neat piles inside the wardrobe and my shoes assembled on the shoe rack I was provided and by the time I was done, I was feeling very famished.

I immediately rang the reception and was told about a place down the road where they sold really good meals; I thanked Aphrodite for the recommendation. It was what I was going to begin calling her cause she looked like a goddess and smiled like one.

I discarded the clothes I was in and instead settled for a flair gown with little red roses imprinted at the ends and a hat to protect my face from the sun.

I flashed a smile at the receptionist as I stepped out and then asked if the restaurant she had recommended to me has the option of paying with the dollars as I was yet to convert my money to the local currency

"That is why I recommended them. They are a foreign restaurant which allow foreigners just like yourself to feel at home somewhere familiar" She said, smiling at me

I knew there and then that if I was bisexual I would definitely want to fuck her, she was that gorgeous

"You have a very beautiful smile" I finally told her

Her eyes twinkled and her voice dropped sensually

"You do not look bad yourself" she told me

She was definitely lesbian and had probably just made a pass at me. I waved and then got out of the hotel, waited for a while before crossing the road.

"Welcome to the A MANO" the guy at the door bellowed upon opening

"Thank you" I laughed as he drew me into a chair

A man approached me, he had his hair in a bun and I wondered fleetingly if this was the style with men. He looked gorgeous and had one of the most pleasing smile I had ever seen.

"Cossa posso portarti?" he said softly, holding a note pad with a pen poised over it

"I am sorry, I do not understand..." I blushed in embarrassment

He smiled, revealing stunning dimples before he slipped the note pad into his pocket and rested muscled hands on the table causing me to sit up straighter in my chair

"You are new; what can I get you, signora" he said in perfect English

"I was told this is an American restaurant and..."

"Whoever told you that?" He interrupted

I stared into those liquid brown eyes and shrugged, pointing helplessly to the front door and then frowned

I was Diana Rodrigues and no waiter left me dumbfounded, I thought to myself

I took a deep breath and turned to him, my eyes narrowing to slits

"Was I wrong to assume I can get something I am familiar with here? If I was then I apologize for the inconvenience" I said, grabbing my purse and making to stand up.

"Stop teasing the lady, Luca and get her one of those things the Americans call food" A voice from behind me said

Rude! I thought and turned to give the stranger a very hot piece of mind but was stopped short by the sight.

It was the stranger from the hotel, the one who I had run into and he had that smile on his face... the one that was turning my brain to mush at the very moment
