Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a bodyguard in Chiampo is like a rollercoaster ride, but without the safety bar. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window, and I’m thinkin’, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
First off, I’m supposed to meet my client at the Piazza della Libertà. Nice spot, right? But I’m runnin’ late. Traffic on Via Roma was a nightmare. I swear, I saw a guy on a scooter almost take out a pigeon. Like, dude, chill! It’s just a bird! Anyway, I finally get there, and my client’s already stressin’. She’s a big deal in the fashion world, and she’s got this event at the Chiampo Castle later.
So, we’re walkin’ down Via Garibaldi, and I’m tryin’ to keep it cool. But then, outta nowhere, this dude bumps into me. I mean, c’mon! I’m a bodyguard, not a punching bag! I turn around, ready to throw down, but it’s just some kid with a gelato. He’s like, “Sorry, man!” and I’m like, “No worries, just don’t make it a habit.”
Then, we hit up the local market on Via Mazzini. Man, the smells! Fresh bread, cheese, and all that good stuff. I’m tryin’ to focus on my job, but the cheese is callin’ my name. I’m like, “Just one slice, then back to work.” But my client’s all about the shopping. She’s grabbin’ bags left and right. I’m thinkin’, “Great, I’m a bodyguard and a pack mule now.”
Suddenly, I hear a commotion. Some guy’s shoutin’ about a lost dog. I’m like, “Dude, focus! We got a fashion show to get to!” But my heart kinda goes out to him. I mean, who loses their dog in Chiampo? It’s a small town! So, I help him look for a bit. Turns out, the dog was chillin’ under a table at a café. I’m like, “See? All good!” The guy’s so grateful, he offers me a free coffee. I’m like, “Sure, why not?”
Finally, we make it to the castle. It’s beautiful, right? But the vibe is tense. I can feel it. People are on edge. I’m scanning the crowd, lookin’ for any sketchy characters. And then, bam! I spot a guy in a black hoodie. Classic. I’m thinkin’, “What’s your deal, bro?”
As the event kicks off, I’m on high alert. My client’s mingling, lookin’ fab, and I’m just standin’ there, tryin’ not to look like a statue. But then, the hoodie guy makes a move. He’s headin’ straight for my client! My heart’s racin’. I step in front of him, all tough guy style. “Yo, what’s up?”
He’s like, “Just lookin’ for my friend.” I’m like, “Yeah? Well, you found me. Now back off.” I swear, the tension was thicker than the fog on a Chiampo morning. But then, the guy just laughs and walks away. I’m left there, heart still poundin’.
After that, the night kinda calms down. My client’s happy, the event’s a hit, and I’m just relieved. We head back down Via Roma, and I’m thinkin’ about that gelato kid. I could really go for some right now.
So, we stop at this little gelateria. I’m like, “One scoop of pistachio, please!” And as I’m enjoying my treat, I can’t help but laugh at the day. Chiampo, man. It’s wild, it’s beautiful, and it’s full of surprises.
I head home, exhausted but happy. Just another day in the life of a bodyguard. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
