Start the bus

"Hey, Where's Destiny?" Bianca called as she stood next to the tourist bus, a notebook in her hand.

"Here!" Destiny called, panting as she ran up to her," sorry I... thought its ...not that ...far away... But it was... And...yeah…" she said between breaths.

"Its...it's okay go inside" Bianca said, ticking her name off.

"Guess everyone is here? " She jumped into the bus," okay now... I have some rules. Number one- everyone stays in pairs. Take your partner's hand and hold it"

Kore held Destiny's hand, and giggled in response,"proprio come la scuola"

Not understanding what she said, Destiny quickly looked it up online," oh, just like school...yeah true"

"Number two. No wandering off... number three. No disrespecting any place here. Okay? I see you disrespect my city, I kick you out" she warned," now the tour is five days long, and we have a first aid kit in case of Emergencies. Do we have any medical personnel here?" She asked.

"Nurse" Destiny raised her hand.

"Okay great! So you know who to go to if you're ill" she chuckled," If I think of any more Rules I will inform you...now let's go!"

With that, the bus started and they all cheered.

"You are nurse?" Kore asked in her slightly broken English.

"Yea...RN" Destiny smiled back," been on a break this past year. What about You? What do you do?" She asked...

"Oh, I'm not as posh in job as you. I am but a simple... uh butcher" she smiled.

"Oh, a butcher? Pretty nice. I expect a nice dinner invitation when I come back" Destiny smiled warmly.

"Of course! You will have the best cuts" she smiled softly before noticing her confused expression and adding," I mean of the meat"

Chuckling, Destiny looked down at her phone, plugging a song in, this was starting well, she thought.

She was even forgetting the whole wedding nonsense. As soft rock blared into her ears, she smiled to herself and looked out the window at the beauty of Italy.

The man seated in front of them struck up a conversation with Kore. He seemed to be an old man, perhaps in his seventies. According to him, he was fulfilling his bucket list before he got too old. His wife had long passed, but he held a picture of her in his pocket, which he proudly showed off to everyone.

There weren't many people on the bus, perhaps nine, not including Bianca. Three of them were retirees, a couple on their honeymoon (completely ignored by Destiny), a couple of college girls from the Philippines, and Kore and Destiny.

They all seemed friendly enough, except for the couple who seemed to fuse into one organism and never separated much to the chagrin of Destiny who refused to speak to them although they had attempted to initiate a conversation. Apparently, they were from Paris. Ugh, a couple in love from the city of love. Gross. Guess they'd say they were happy too? Ew.

Apparently they had a few places to go...first of which was some palace? And some museums and some other places.

Okay fine so the author was unprepared with the names. They will be shown eventually okay?

Pulling out her phone, Destiny posted a quick status on her Instagram with a picture she had taken with Kore as she entered the bus.

"Beginning of my solo honeymoon" #simplysingle.
