ARIANA'S POV:
The doorbell rang. Nina, our maid, opened the door. I was watching TV and turned around to see who it was. It was Nancy, my friend.
"Hey girl!" she came to me excitedly.
"Hey! What's up? How are you?"
"All good! And what about you?"
"Same… all good."
"And it will be even better after I tell you the news…"
"What news?"
"There's a new Italian restaurant that opened in the city! And its staff members are also pure Italian!"
"Are you excited about the food or the staff?" I giggled.
"Both at the same time!"
We both chuckled.
"The food is sooooo good, and the staff members are very good looking!"
"Let's go!"
"Okay, let me get ready!"
"Why get ready, girl? You look fantastic!"
"For you only!"

At the restaurant, there was no crowd at all. Of course, no one would come that early. It was literally 9 a.m. It had opened just a few minutes ago, and we were already there.
"Aren't we a bit early?" I asked.
"Early is good! How can you enjoy the beauty and the view properly in a crowded place?"
We both sat down at a table. A waiter came up to us. He looked Italian and handsome tho.
"Ciao…"
Nancy started giggling nonstop in front of him, and I tried so hard to keep a straight face out of embarrassment.
"Cosa vorresti ordinare?"
(What would you like to order?)
I looked at her. She was completely lost staring at the waiter, so I had to order myself.
"Well… Bistecca alla Fiorentina and bruschetta. And for drinks, just water for me and an Aperol Spritz for her."
"Va bene." (Okay.)
I shook her shoulder after he left.
"Hey girl! Wake up!"
"È così bello…" (He's so handsome), she muttered.
I rolled my eyes, already regretting why I came here with her.
"He would be good in bed too."
My eyes widened in shock.
"In bed?!" I realized I had said it out loud and quickly lowered my voice. "In bed? You're going to be in bed with a stranger? He just took our order, and you're taking him to bed?"
"Look who's talking! You married a stranger, and I can't take one to bed?"
"My parents arranged it, and they know better than me, that's why."
"Yeah, whatever. Just look at his mustache… he's so fucking sexy."
"Go suck his dick, right now," I said sarcastically.
"I would," she winked at me.
This girl is unbelievable.
She suddenly stood up and walked toward the kitchen.
I rolled my eyes and looked outside the window to distract myself.
