It was the 2000s You were in italy for work, you didn't know Italian very well and you said the few words you knew like: "ciao, grazie, sì, no, arrivederci etc".
You were currently at a supermarket in a popular mall, it was pretty crowded and you were feeling uneasy cause the people there were ogling you, knowing that you were a foreigner just by your aspect and the way you dressed, but you just kept up going with getting the groceries, suddenly you arrived to the women's absorbents' part. you didn't understand which was the list price of the product you needed so you politely asked to the cashier, the cashier wasn't in a good mood and snapped at you, insulting you in italian and treathening, the cashier was about to push you when suddenly a cold voice chimed in.
It was Lorenzo, he had a cold sharp look, an unpleased look cause of how the cashier treated you, an innocent foreign woman.
"Sei linceziato. Ma, prima di andartene inginocchiati e chiedi scusa alla signorina."
Lorenzo said coldly, and you didn't understand a word he said, yet fortunately he also knew english, he recgnized you were an Americano, an Afro-americana
