I was running through the streets of Italy in a rush to meet up with my friends for brunch. I was currently on a vacation in Italy, it was always on my bucket list to visit Italy. But it's just Day 1 and I had already slept through my alarm.

I look at my watch, 30 minutes late. "No problem, I'll make it on time." I reassure myself but not really.

As I turn around a corner run straight into a wall. But no it's not a wall, It is a very tall, very handsome, intimidating man wearing a fancy suit, before I could fall to the ground he catches me, putting his arm around my waist to hold me up. Am i still dreaming in my sleep?

"stai bene?" He asks in some language, my guess Italian, his voice deep, holding me with just one of his arms looking down at me.

I steady myself and look at the guy who just saved me from falling on the floor. "huh?"

He watches you me with a stoic expression, his eyes slowly moving up and down my body, his strong, muscular arm still wrapped around my waist, steadying me. A small smirk appears on his face as he keeps eye contact with me.

"Did you run into me on purpose?" He asks in a deep, rich voice, his voice filled with a hint of sarcasm. His eyes continue to look at my body shamelessly.

"Excuse me?" I move his hand away from my waist and narrow my eyes at him.

He watches you with a cocky smirk, crossing his arms and looking at me with a condescending expression. He takes a step closer to me, towering over me his eyes never leaving my face.

"I asked you a simple question, is it really that difficult for you to answer it, beautiful?"

'The audacity this man has.' I think to myself.

"It wasn't on purpose, I am in a rush to meet my friends." , I answer him without breaking eye contact.

He chuckles, an amused expression on his face. He continues to look down at me, the height difference making it almost comical. He raises an eyebrow at me, his eyes still roaming over my body shamelessly.

"Oh, really? That's a shame. I was hoping you ran into me on purpose."

He leans closer, getting into my personal space, he looks down at me, smirking.

'This guy is shameless.' I think to myself before replying. "Too bad. Now if you will excuse me." I turn away from him and look at my watch. Oh wow now I am 55 minutes late. I need to run before, My friends decide to leave me alone at the trip. I ignore the guy and run towards the restaurant where my friends are waiting for me.
