A pov :

I sighed out loud and placed my forehead against the steering wheel. We had finaly made it and we're parked outside the hotel I had Googled earlier. Tori was barking happily and her tail was wagging feircely. I gave a smile and opened up my door and got out. It was around six in the afternoon and the once pale blue sky was darkening.

I let Tori out the car and walked into the hotel. After checking in, I went in the elevator up to my room , accompanied by the gentleman that offered to help me carry my bags. Once I found my room, I politely thanked the man and opened my door with the key that was provided by the receptionist.

Tori bolted inside first, smelling and exploring our room with much excitement. A small smile made it's way into my lips as I too looked around. The room was fairly large and the walls were painted in a light grey. There was a large bed with dark grey and black sheets and a build in kennel that was very comfortable looking , for Tori to sleep in though I knew she would prefer to sleep alongside me on the bed.

I placed the bags on the bed before walking to the kitchen. It was also large and was beatufuly decorated. It had two large ovens and a built in table top gas stove. The Italian dècore in the room was amazing.

After that I decided to go look at the bathroom and I was stunned by what I saw as I walked in. The bathroom had a complete different atmosphere. The walls were painted a deep shade of midnight blue and I noticed that the bath and shower were outside.

Luckily, to my relief I saw that there were very high walls built around them so no one would see anything anyways. I decided that my body needed some cleaning up so I walked back to the room and got out my towel and vanity bag with some comfortable clothing which consisted out of a loose T -shirt and a baggy pair of sweatpants.

After setting the water to my shower the right temprature I stripped my clothing and climbed in. As I showered I looked up at the stary night. Wow, it truely was a sight to see. After washing off the soap I had lathered my body with. I closed the taps and the water ceased. I took a hold of my fluffy towel and stepped out.

I heard Tori bark at the door. She was probably hungry so I hurried up as I got dressed and went out to get her and myself some food. I called room service and waited patiently for them to bring my dinner.

After they showed up, I accepted the food with a smile and dished up for me and Tori. I placed her share into her bowl and I took my share and sat on the sofa and watched tv.

I felt something wet and stickly go into my ear. I cringed and turned away. " Tori!" I groaned and got another lick but this time in the face. I tried to push her away but she was too strong and kept her attack up. I finally sat up. " Okay, Okay. I'm up. " I said and pushed her off me. I got off the bed and stretched. Today was the day I was going out.

I got myself and Tori something to eat and drink before hitting the shower. After that, I put on some clothing and walked out deciding to clean up a bit. The place wasn't dirty, I just pulled my bedding straight and did the few dishes there were in the sink. I looked for the boom to sweep up but there wasn't one.

I called room service to bring me one. I guessed the didn't equip the rooms with any cleaning materials because they had people who already cleant the room for the guests. I didn't like the idea of someone else cleaning my mess so I did it myself.

A knock on the door was heard and I opened it. It revealed a tall and handsome young man that appeared around my age. The man had tan skin and wore hotel staff clothing . He had thick curly dark hair and dark eyes. He looked down at me with a friendly face as he handed me the broom and spoke something to me in Italian and I replied in English.

He gave me a confused look and I sighed and spoke back to him in my broken and poor Italian. He gave me a look of amusement before smiling and laughing lightly. I felt my face burn up as I firmly held the broom he once gave me, fighting off the urge to smack him with it. He gave me a wave as he walked down the corridoor and I swore I saw him give me a wink.

I slammed the door in furry and started on the floors. So what if my Italian wasn't perfect? I think that most Italians here are also not "perfect English speakers." Learning another language isn't that hard but the talking is always horrible in my case.

After I had cleaned the house or well more like " straightened it out" I went and put some food and water down for Tori and grabbed my car keys. I gave her a simple pet on the back and kiss on the head before opening the door and leaving. I locked her inside.

I started down the corridor and went for the elevator. I pressed the button for the last floor and the doors flew open with a loud 'ding' I got in and the doors shut and I plummeted down. I tapped my foot to the music that played in the elevator before walking out as the doors opened.

The receptionist greeted me friendly and I smiled at him and inclined my head as I made my way to the door. The doorman opened the door for me and I stepped out, breathing in the fresh air with a small and simple smile. Volttera was truly beautiful. I walked down the street to my car to begin my one day adventure.
