"Tasting her is like heaven. But Harlow isn't heaven. Nor is she hell; Harlow is the f*cking devil herself, with her sharp intimidation and her cruel way of things, but she tastes nothing like it. She tastes of sweetness and determinati...

It's been two weeks since I got back from Italy - two weeks since I got wounded. Two weeks since Harlow and I became girlfriends. That still lingers in my mind like crazy.
While Harlow's been busy all week and stressed out about Luciano (I could quickly tell), she hasn't failed to give me her time whenever possible. She's checked on me multiple times throughout the two weeks after she insisted I stopped working at the mansion until I was 100% okay. Unfortunately, even when I told her I was completely fine, she didn't seem to take my answer seriously, so I've not been allowed to continue working yet.
That sounds utterly crazy; because who the hell wants to be working? But honestly, I like it. It gives me something to do, something to occupy my time with. My friends work too and they enjoy it. We can take days off if we need them, which I, Vera, Sam, and Elena have done before to hang out all together multiple times. Since we've gotten used to the mansion and all the facilities we have to use here, we don't take advantage of them as much. The girls all insist on working for a while before taking a couple of days off to spoil themselves to go out and buy the entirety of Sephora - quite literally.
The lengths Sam will go to to get everything on her monthly shopping list are outrageous, but that's one thing I love about her. I can't say that I haven't gone on a huge shopping spree myself and made a dent in my bank account, but after this job, I don't know what to do with my money. The amount I get paid for working here for a month is like double what I used to earn in a year at the cafe back in Southhampton. Everything has changed since then.
Now that me and Harlow are somewhat closer, I want to bring up leaving Spain to travel back to England, and even to America to see my mum. It's a thought that's glued to the back of my mind, yet lingers on my tongue whenever I see Harlow and have the chance to mention it to her. I don't know how she'll react, or if she'll allow it. I don't know how I would respond if she didn't react positively and completely turned down the idea; which is a high possibility.
I miss my best friend Iris so much. We text weekly, sometimes daily if we get the chance since she's super busy with the cafe. Alongside that, she's mentioned that her second job has been taking up her free time quite often too. She says she works as a waitress/bartender at clubs on some evenings and weekends to earn some more money, which I sort of feel guilty about. Yes, how I ended up here is definitely horrible, but I've got a place to live that I don't pay for, food which I don't need to buy, a job I didn't have to work my ass off to apply for and get, and so much more, while Iris is juggling two jobs on her back. I wish I could tell her where I really am and what I really do, but I know I can't tell her, and if I did it would stir up so much trouble.
And my mum, we text all the time every week and I miss her like hell. It's different with her because I didn't see her often before this, but I still miss her so much. We always met on the week of my birthday, August 2nd, and Christmas. This past Christmas, I knew it would be impossible to get Harlow to allow anything like this, but back then we weren't even civil. Or barely. At least our minds weren't...
