Chapter Six

We decided to spend the rest of the trip in Italy. We’d woken up super early in the morning, and reached Italy within a few hours. Axel said that this time would be different. He said that we wouldn’t be staying in a hotel like last time. I wondered if maybe he had a vacation home, but didn’t press it; I would rather find out on my own.

He also mentioned some friends who happened to be vacationing in Florence, Italy, and that we would be meeting up with them tomorrow. I felt a little wary; Axel had girlfriends in the past, but none of them were black. He reassured me that his friends were nothing to be worried about and that they would love me.

He knew his friends better than I so I didn’t press the issue. We were in the back of his car, and I realized that he was more established in this country than any of the others. I noticed this immediately after the chauffeur greeted him by name.

As we drove down the streets, I admired how different Tuscany looked from Paris, Barcelona, and Old San Juan. I didn’t know where we were going, but I was really excited about getting there. I noticed how different the vehicles here looked as well. There wasn’t a huge change, but most of the cars were of course manufactured here in Italy.

Thinking about it, seeing a Ferrari or a Lamborghini wouldn’t be so rare, but seeing a Ford Mustang or a would be. Chuckling at my observation piqued Axel’s interest. He turned to me with an inquisitive smile.

“What are you over there giggling about?” he asked as his arm draped around my shoulders.

“I was just thinking about the cars and how rare it would be to see American made cars here.”

“That’s true, I don’t even have one here.”

“Oh, so you live here sometimes?” I asked.

“Yeah, about three months out of the year, I’ll come here to do business and vacation.”

“Oh, that must be nice,” I said with a smile as I thought about it.

“You should come with me sometime. Though we’re only going to be here for a few days, I would like for you to be able to stay with me for a few weeks,” he said with sincerity.

“That would be nice, but I do still have responsibilities back in San Francisco.”

“You’re an accountant right?”

“Yes.”

“Why not come work for me? I could use a traveling accountant,” he offered. I looked at him, not sure if he was cracking a joke or he was being serious.

“Funny Axel, I can’t just leave my home and come travel with you. Besides, you’re based in New York, right?”

“I have several offices across the states.”

“Are you serious?” I asked facing him as I turned in my seat.

“I don’t think you’ve noticed, Jaida, but I’ve grown really attached to you,” he said softly but seriously.

“Seriously enough for you want me to live with you?” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

“Just think about it, don’t make any rash decisions.
