Chapter 11:

Alexandra's POV

"That day went pretty well…" I muttered as I walked towards the parking lot, I saw Lynette waiting for me by my car and my eyes snapped forward at what she was leaning on. I walked forward towards her and saw her leaned back with a magazine in her hand.

I smacked the magazine out of her hand and she looked up glaring at me, "What!" She asked irritated and picked up the magazine a bit annoyed, "I was reading my magazine," She flipped through the pages till she stopped to where she was, "Remind me to thank them…" She muttered.

"How did you get my car?!" I gritted my teeth frustrated,

She rolled her eyes and dangled my keys, "You dropped them just before I left," She threw them at me and I caught them, "But since it's your car," She gestured to the car, "You can drive."

I sighed annoyed; technically it was Lynette's car since she bought it, but technically its mine since she gave it to me for my birthday but still I got annoyed how she thought it was her car. I went towards the driver's door and got in.

Lynette got me a Silver Chrysler 200 Limited Convertible; it was my dream car that I wanted, she saw me staring at it for a while in a magazine and decided to buy me one when I was old enough when it was my birthday.

She got in at the passenger seat and started turning on the radio. I turned on the engine and smiled, it's been a while since I drove my car; I was about to take off till I heard someone calling my name, I turned around and saw Daniel walking towards me.

I smiled and turned off the engine, Lynette looked puzzled to she caught my gaze and widened her eyes at who she saw. Did she know him?

"Hey Alex," Daniel walked towards me and was just behind the door.

I nodded, "Hey Daniel," I said enough for Lynette to hear which I knew she would be listening out of curiosity, "So what are you doing now?" I asked curiously,

"Well I was hoping to see my family but they didn't pick up the phone when I called them, so they must be out." He answered smoothly, "So I was wondering if I could have a ride?"

I looked taken back at the request and was about to protest till Lynette spoke up, "Sure," I turned to give her surprised look but she ignored me gave him a smiled, "Where to? Home?"

He said easily, "Actually, I was hoping to grab a bit to eat, but since I'm new here and I don't know my way round, I was wondering If you could drop me off to get something to eat."

Lynette smiled and gestured to the back seat, "Sure, hop in." She put on her sunglasses, "We know all the hotspots in Rome." She smirked and leaned back,

I turned back on the engine as Daniel got in, Lynette glanced at him on the mirror and said, "We were planning on grabbing a bite to eat as well, want to join?"

He smiled and nodded, "That would be great."

Okay Lynette's totally lost me…

We drove on the roads for a while till I saw a small restaurant nearby; I stopped at the parking space and paid the parking space. We went towards the restaurant and the hostess held up some menus between her body and arm.

"Ciao e benvenuto ... oh mio Dio!" (Hello and welcome to... oh my goodness!) She dropped the menus in shock when she looked at Lynette.

I heard her sigh when she picked the menus up and I stifled a chuckle, "Q-Quanti?" "H-How many?" She asked still in shock.

"Tre." (Three.) I answered and she made her way to a small table in the back. I sighed, thank you lord, thankfully she knows we want quiet and peace.

"E-E 'questo il tuo ragazzo?" (I-Is this your boyfriend?)She asked quietly embarrassed as she looked at Lynette, awe looks like someone has a crush on Daniel…

Lynette eyes popped out and she chocked on… air? Salivia? Either way it was funny, "No, no, sono stati non e 'il mio ragazzo." (No, no were he's not my boyfriend.) She spluttered a bit red while glancing at Daniel and chocked a bit more.

I glanced at Daniel who looked a bit confused but I could tell he could tell what the conversation was about.

"Scusa!" She squeaked a bit embarrassed and left quickly, (Sorry!)

Lynette coughed a bit and looked down embarrassed, I smiled and chuckled, "Now THAT was funny!" I laughed a bit and leaned back a bit.

Daniel chuckled, "I could tell a bit on the stuttered what the conversation was about." He glanced at Lynette and looked amused. He paused, "Tho, I do have a question,"

"Fire away!" I waved away at the entertainment that happened before,

"How come you Lynette and you speak English most of the time even though you live in Rome?" He asked curiously,

I looked at Lynette and she answered smoothly, "Well we were born here but my mom spoke English," She answered, "And then I started learning Italian and now can speak it without difficulty,"

"And you Alex?" He asked,

I hesitated before saying, "I can speak it but have some difficulties with it."

He nodded and looked back at the menu, "Okay, but another question, what is this?" he pointed at the Italian menu with confusion. I scrunched my nose and shrugged, I don't read Italian. All I do is go to an Italian place that has a person who can speak English.

"How about we just get some pasta?" Lynette asked a bit amused at the scene and closed the menu. We nodded and folded our menu, "Drinks?" She asked as she waved for a waiter to come,

"I'll have a coke."

"Same," I stated and Lynette spoke to the waitress.
