THE LOCAL ITALIAN GUY

Another fantastic morning in Roma as I end up flooding the shower in the bathroom. Its not my fault the bloody shower head doesn’t work. it’s the perfect start to a perfect day.

We quickly head out to our local bar for some morning coffee. We walk in to recognise our usual morning Italian coffee guy behind the counter working his major on the coffee machine. He greets us with an instant smile as we enter and plant ourselves against the bar. We order our coffees while we grab our morning cornetto’s. Lucy’s practically drilling all over the counter as she watches the Italian coffee guy make our coffee’s. Apparently she thinks his cute. God she should just jump onto the counter and have sex with him.

So were sipping our coffees and the Italian coffee guy starts a random conversation with us. He asked me where I am from and what my background is. Suddenly we got excited that we could actually communicate with a local. Meanwhile the bloody cashier stormed over and demanded money off us snack bang in the middle of our conversation with the Italian coffee guy. How rude and inconsiderate of the cashier. We haven’t even finished our breakfast. What kind of a sick person demands money like that. I hand over the money and he storms to his little corner to pile up the loose change.

The coffee was so good that we drank it pretty fast. So in order to continue our random chit chat with the Italian guy, Lucy orders another coffee. Before the cashier can come over to demand money I walk over and pay him. The last thing we need is the cashier interrupting our conversation again.

Meanwhile Lucy started getting headspins from the coffee. She almost looked completely trashed from coffee of all things. I don’t know if it was the coffee or the Italian guy but Lucy was about to faint. God this reminds me of Christine getting completely drunk on steak. Before Lucy can cause a scene we quickly asked the Italian guy to take a photo with us and we storm out of the bar back to the apartment.
