Same script, different cast

When in Rome......

“Shopping?”'

I say in disgust,  I hate shopping at the best of times and I can think of better things to do in Rome then fucking shopping. 

“Yes Annie I've booked for us to go to the opera tonight.” Violet says seriously.

“The fucking opera?”

I laugh,  maybe harder then I should. 

“Vi neither of us has ever said we'd love to go to the opera before”  what the hell is she thinking,

I haven't seen anything I wanted to yet in Rome and she disappears and then comes back with this bullshit.

“Its cultural Annie for fuck sake,  we're taking in the Roman culture and opera is part of it”  she fumes quietly beside me.

“We need posh dresses and pampering today,  I bet your puss is hairier than your head now that your away from Marshall.”

I laugh anger forgotten as she cracks me up again, I mean it's grown out a bit but It’s not hanging out of my bikini so it's all good. 

“Well he's not here so I don't need to get waxed bitch face”.

I tell her but she's not having any of it. 

"Well I’m getting it done in case I hook up with my Italian stallion again tonight so if I'm feeling pain so are you."

I can't argue with that.  Also I'm hoping she doesn't hook up with him because I am hornier than a dog in heat right now and listening to her fucking some him all night next door will make me combust I swear  I only have to think of Marshall for a second and I'm dripping wet, it's that bad.

After we've bought dresses,  shoes,  been plucked and waxed to within an inch of our lives we head back to the hotel to get ready for the evening ahead.

Looking at myself in the mirror I wonder if the full length navy blue gown I bought is a little over the top for the fucking opera but I'm startled as Violet tumbles through the door into my room, she looks absolutely sensational, her long blonde hair running down her back in waves while my dark hair struggles to hold the curls I tried to put into it, no amount of hairspray will hold it, my hair basically hates me.

“Wow, Annie you look amazing!” she purses her lips together as she walks a full circle around me.

“Now Annie, I've got to do something and I really just want you to go with it and not ask any questions ok!”

I look at her my eyebrows raised as she approaches me

“Close your eyes" I laugh and she tuts at me

“Close them"

Taking a deep breath I close my eyes and turn away from her and jump a little when she wraps what I assume is a blindfold over my eyes, I test my theory by opening my eyes and seeing nothing but darkness

“What the hell is going on?”  She doesn't reply.

we are in a car for about thirty minutes which is totally disorienting and then we are pulling up somewhere and I'm walking or being dragged along by my arm,  tripping over stupid rocks in stupid fucking heels.

I don't know where were walking but I know we're outside now, the warm evening air heating my exposed skin as Vi leads me forward, the ground beneath my feet feels like Sandy gravel and it crunches under my heels as I walk cautiously, arms stretched out in front of me until Vi comes to a stand still and removes her hands from me

“Ok Annie, wait here and it will be here, don't move from here.”

I say ok quietly, a little frightened as I hear her foot steps retreating.
