"Valentina."
"Valentina?" He called again but I stayed quiet.
"Valentina ti ho chiamato." (Valentina I've been calling you) Alessandro said as he walked inside our walk in closet with an irritated expression.
I continued to ignore him as I rummaged through my clothes to decide what to wear for today.
His large hand grasped my forearm and turned me to face him, my eyes took in his pissed expression.
Wow! He hides all his expressions from me except for anger and irritation! I rolled my eyes mentally.

"Valentina" I cut her in between "huh?" Her face contoured in confusion."Call me Valentina instead of Mrs. Romano." I said with a warm smile."Oh! Ok M- Valentina" she corrected herself. "So as I was saying that Ca- Mr. Romano has sent me to teach you Italian." she gave me a tight lipped smile but I didn't miss her almost referring to Alessandro as Capo.I brushed it off as I got excited at the mention of him sending Cara.

He says with a polite smile.He leans in towards me as if wanting to tell a secret that no one should hear.

Bad tina" Christine's disappointment filled voice reached my ears."I just had one glass" I say defensively now turning around facing the elderly women who has somehow filled the void of a mother in my life.She raised her brow not believing me "I no lying" I mimick her English speaking skills making her chuckle at me."Wash face, go" she pulls me out of the comfortable bed and pushes me towards the bathroom door making a shooing gesture.I slump inside making m

I listen to her intently while my eyes are fixed on her lips to notice how they move."Aspetterò" I repeat confidently making sure to keep my accent in check "bravo" she nods in approval with a white smile.She's really a mature teacher for her age, she waits patiently for me to understand, she doesn't get irritated even if I ask her the same question a number of times.Right now I have resumed my Italian classes with her and this time these sessions would strictly be based on learning the right words.That's what Alessandro said but I'm the one learning and going in the right direction has never been my route.
