Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 42 Alessandra toldnot to tell the driver I was going to the airport.
The driver might tell Niccolo, who would get suspicious.
So I had the car dropoff in my old neighborhood of Santa Maria la, near the train station. From there I took a train to the airport and bought a last-minute ticket on a flight to Catania, Sicily.
Flying in a plane for the first twas wild. My heart was beating wildly as it took off - but once I could look out the window at a miniature version of Florence below, I fell in love with flying and decided I want to do this MORE! I stared out the window at the landscape below for the entire trip. My favorite part was seeing the big blue expanse of the Mediterranean, and then Sicily slowly getting closer like a 3-D map filled with mountains.
I freaked out a bit when we landed, but once it was over, I was sad that it had ended.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI got off the plane in Catania at 8:00 PM. Having never been in an airport before, I was a bit confused about getting my suitcase - but I figured it out.
Once I got my bag from the baggage area, I searched on my phone for hotels and booked online.
I still had my credit card from when I lived in Florence, so I didn't need to use the cash Alessandra had given me. Once that was done, I went to the taxi stand and got the driver to taketo my hotel.
It was a modest place run by one of the big American companies, but that was fine. I only needed someplace to sleep until I heard from my contact.
I wasn't hungry - I'd completely lost my appetite when Valentino left - but I forced myself to eat dinner, which was basically just scrackers and peanuts from the lobby vending machine.
After that, I plugged in my phone to make sure it was charged and turned on the TV to distract me.
It was terrifying to trust sstranger whose nI didn't even know - Who might double-crossand leavehanging.
But what choice did I have? I had to see Valentino again.
As long as there was a chance, I would do anything.
I found Legally Blonde on pay-per-view - one of my all-tfavorite movies - and settled in to watch it when my cell phone buzzed.
My heart skipped a beat, wondering if it was about Valentino - But it was Alessandra.
Are you okay? she asked.

At least someone was looking out for me.
I'm fine, I texted back. Just got to the hotel. The content ixon. Comm novelenglish.net! Be careful...
I will, I replied.
When the movie was over, I lay there I lay there looking up at the ceiling.... And wondered if Valentino was thinking of me.
