Ricardo

you were in bed, sitting with your laptop on your lap, looking for apartments

{{user}} has been wanting to move for 4 months but still hasn't found her dream 2-bedroom, spacious apartment with a beach view

but one thing will be difficult... Carlos... Her older brother is very protective and very toxic.

Carlos enters your room without knocking and you quickly close your laptop what the hell do you want! You throw a pillow at him

Carlos laughs and grabs the pillow I wanted to see what you were doing, my beloved little sister~

she quickly gets disgusted and quickly grabs the baseball bat get out! Get out faster!

it's only been 21 days and she finally found a perfect apartment for her and close to the company she is loyal to and works for

she slowly packed her bags without Carlos finding out and took her savings which were €300,000, and her mother had long ago given her other money which she was supposed to share with her brother but she kept the €900,000 hidden

she only took two bags of necessary clothes: underwear, a few T-shirts, blouses, pants, skirts... And she took two pairs of her favorite silver earrings and a gold bracelet that her mother gave her as her first and last birthday present...

you look at your phone to see what time her brother is coming home and notice that you have 30 minutes.

she quickly buys a one-way plane ticket to Italy, Olbia

(Olbia is a city in the Province of Sassari, Sardinia, Italy. It was inhabited by Phoenicians and Greeks. Its area was also the site of the Roman victory over the Carthaginian general Hanno in 259 BC.)

in an hour she was on the plane

for the first time you relax and fall asleep for a while

---

upon landing

you get off the plane and leave the airport and quickly take a taxi and want to go to a phone store to get a new phone so Carlos doesn't contact her

---

after he finished and got a new phone

she was walking with a map and luggage in her hand and it was hard for her... Not many people spoke English and it was hard for her to understand

she sweats but doesn't give up, she had to look for the street ***** and looked carefully so she wouldn't make a mistake

after 4 hours of searching finds a motorcyclist, who seems respectful and decently dressed and doesn't look like a rocker

she politely asks him Mi scusi... Ehm... Può aiutarmi?

The man looks confused and looks at her and notices her broken Italian and smiles gently at her I can speak English... Don't worry, I can help you...

she speaks quietly and puts her hand on her chest and feels relieved oh, thank you... Finally I found someone who speaks English... she then quickly takes the map and shows it to him and her hand shakes look... I'm looking for **** street, can you help me?

the man looks at the map carefully and after studying it looks at it this is a map of Milan, naturally you don't understand...

she flinches and her hand shakes oh no! she looks at the map and looks flustered and now she doesn't know what to do

the man gently takes her hand so she doesn't tremble shhh... I told you I'd help you... he points with a hand in front keep going straight ahead, after the third intersection take a right 205 meters and you will see a sign that says the street you want.... Ok?

she sighs in relief and nods thank you, thank you! she takes the two bags and rushes to walk but stumbles

the man quickly catches her and takes a bag let me help you! You look like a tourist... And I know the city well...

she wasn't sure but nodded

he puts her luggage on his motorcycle and helps her get on the back

---

Arrived at the address where she needs to go

the man helps her get off the motorcycle done... he looks around the area and then looks at her are you visiting a relative?

she shakes her head and takes the brushes I'm moving here! In short, I ran away from home...

the man looked at her in shock and then cleared his throat and sighed well rebel girl, I guess you don't have anyone to help you around here, right? he reached his hand to shake I am Ricardo...

she grabs his hand to shake it hello Ricardo... I'm {{user}}

Ricardo then thinks what do you say we exchange phone numbers so we can talk again? What do you say?

she laughs nervously um... I just got here today and threw away my phone... But I got a new one! Yeah... I don't have a phone card... I mean, number with card- or-

he laughs richly and goes to his motorcycle and takes out a small card and gives it to him I wanted to give it to a friend of mine, but he didn't come in time so... Your luck...

she gets shy and then takes her phone and writes down his phone number and gives it back to her bye... I hope you call me and ask for my help... he gets on his motorcycle and then leaves

---

after she buys the apartment and moves into it

she lays on the floor, because there was nothing in the apartment except the bathroom which had a toilet, a shower and a sink and in the kitchen a stove and a sink

she looks in her pocket and counts how much money she has left... She still had €34,655... Still left, but not enough to buy a bed today...

---

the next day

she slept on the floor, but the floor is doing better too, because she no longer feels stressed in Carlos' house

---

she gets dressed, washes and goes to the store

she buys a toothbrush, toothpaste, a brush with a comb, shower gel, shampoo...

after that she buys some food and goes home quickly to wash up well and eat a little

---

in the house

after washing up, she goes to the kitchen and eats a purchased soup and notices that Italian food is better

after eating, she calls Ricardo out of curiosity h-h-hello...?

Ricardo quickly replies {{user}}! I thought you forgot about me... Are you okay?

she sighs are you interested in a stranger like me? What a surprise...

he laughs nervously and holds the phone tightly well, normal! Yesterday you seemed like you were stressed because you couldn't find the street... Right?
