Following the itinerary I had prepared, we had dinner at Bagni Delfino. Dillon knew the way, so he drove us there. The first thing that caught my eye was the romantic and evocative atmosphere, along with the warm and inviting environment.
The bilingual receptionist seated us, and I took pictures of everything, saving the memories but not yet posting anything. I wanted to enjoy the moment first. The best part about this restaurant was its location directly on the water, offering a breathtaking view of the blue waters of the Gulf of Sorrento.
“The view is beautiful,” I said to Dillon, who was busy taking countless pictures of me.
“Not as beautiful as mine, I can assure you of that,” he replied, making my smile even wider. I felt blissful right here, where the air was pure and serene, and no one was intruding to take photos or question Dillon. The atmosphere was filled with couples seeking the same thing as us: a great night out.
The waiter introduced himself, and I recognized him as an old classmate. He had moved away following his mother’s death, and I hadn’t heard from him since.
“Azzaria,” he exclaimed in disbelief, “Is that really you?” Dillon raised an eyebrow, and I gently kicked him under the table as a warning to remain composed.
“Andrew!” I replied with excitement, “How have you been?”
“I’ve been doing well. My life took a turn after my second year of college, and I received a scholarship to attend culinary school here in Italy. I completed the program and now, I’m a senior staff member here.”
It was heartwarming to hear that he had found a good life for himself. He deserved it.
“That’s wonderful to hear. Are you enjoying Italy?”
“I am enjoying my stay here,” I replied, and Andrew complimented me, “you look great. It’s nice to see you again after all these years. How have you been?”
“She’s doing great,” Dillon intervened, answering for me. “Aren’t you, baby?”
I stared at him with subtle shock. “Yes, my love,” I replied, “I am.”
“That’s great to hear. I hope to see you around soon, and if you ever need a tour guide, you know where to find me.” Andrew winked and placed the menus on the table for us to peruse.
Andrew excused himself to get water and bread, and Dillon looked at me with an irritated expression. “I’m a very territorial man, precious,” he hissed, “You can’t possibly tell me he wasn’t flirting with you.”
“He was definitely flirting, but that doesn’t matter because I wasn’t flirting with him.”
“I’m not mad, I’m just saying.”
I rolled my eyes at him and went on to enjoy the rest of the night.
“Did you enjoy dinner, precious?” Dillon asked, opening the car door for me.
“Yes,” I replied, emphasizing the “s,” “I did. It was really, really great, babe, and I took lots of pictures, even some selfies. Did you get any pictures of me?”
“Enough to last a lifetime,” he responded, content and appreciative. “You are breathtaking.”
Our last stop for the night was a nightclub. Dillon was initially hesitant, but I really wanted to experience it, so he didn’t oppose the idea. He did, however, make it clear that he would be watching me closely, as he warned that Italian men were known for being quite touchy.
The night was young, and we had a great time.
Italy day 1 was a complete success.
CHAPTER 38
Azzaria
This country felt like a dream come true.
We woke up early, against my better judgment, determined to make the most of every hour in Italy before heading back to NYC. I called Abigail earlier to check up on her and my mom.
We had breakfast on our private balcony, where I was naked and pancakes weren’t the only thing he was eating.
“You look so handsome. Come kiss me,” I said, and he walked over to me. He pulled our lips together and slipped in hand into my shirt, groping my breast. “No more sex until we get back. We have to go,” I said sternly and dragged my shoes on.
