Posted Image "I'd like to see you again Adia, tomorrow if possible we could meet here, what do you say?" He watched her smile softly and nodded her head to the sides thinking. "Maybe." That maybe had become a yes. Fernando sat sipping his coffee as he checked his watch. 2:40 Adia would be there any moment and like the last week since he had finally talked to her, she would sit with him and tell him about her crazy day with her even crazier grandmother. The pattern had held up for the last five days. Since she hadn't been in Spain before, he had taken in on himself to show her everything and anything about the beautiful country, in hopes that while she was with him she would forget whatever was weighing heavily on her. He was successful for the most part, she smiled, she laughed... He still didn't understand what it was about Adia that made him feel this need to cheer her up and be around her. She was a beautiful girl that much was obvious. But so what his head argued, beautiful women always surrounded him. Maybe it was the fact that she didn't care much about football or footballers. Hell, he wasn't even sure she knew he was a footballer! Just then someone called his name. "Fernando!" He turned around to see Fabio Cannavaro and Sergio Aguero. "Ola amigo!" Sergio was the first to come up to him and they gave each other a manly hug. "Don't tell me- you had enough of Liverpool and you're coming back home," Fabio said as he shook hands with Fernando. Fernando laughed. "I'm just visiting. But you should be grateful I'm in Liverpool, I know you had a hard time blocking my shots." "I see you still got your sense of humor," Fabio returned good-naturedly. "What are the two of you doing here anyway?" Fernando asked curiously. "What do you think? We're here with our ladies." Sergio smirked. Fernando tried not to laugh out loud when he noticed shopping bags in their hands. "Where did you go?" A voice called out to them. "Aqui soy, mi vida!" Sergio said and waved to the two women approaching them. Fernando immediately recognized the tall, blonde woman as Sergio's wife. "Ladies, look who we found." Fabio gestured towards Fernando before kissing the black haired one. "Fernando, I can't believe you're back!" Petra, Sergio's wife, smiled friendly at him. "Don't worry he's not coming back to the club," Sergio joked. "Sergio, don't be mean," Petra scolded, punching him playfully on the arm. "Actually, I missed their terrible sense of humor," Fernando laughed. "Boys will be boys," the dark haired woman standing beside Fabio shook her head. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Jessica." "Nice to meet you," Fernando shook her hand. "I'm sorry I missed your wedding, but I hear it was very nice." "It was a small, romantic ceremony, nothing extravagant," Jessica said. "Although Fabio wanted to book the Westminster Abby." "Just the best for my amore," Fabio kissed her gently on the cheek. "Oh no, not again," Sergio said in mock horror. "You're the one to talk," Fernando exclaimed. "If memory serves me right, the two of you did worse things than that," he teased, making Sergio and Petra blush. "What about you Nando?" Fabio began. "Found a special lady in England?" "No," Fernando said, looking somewhere in the distance, "Not in England." - If he concentrated on her loneliness, then maybe he wouldn't have to think about his own. He remembered yesterday when she had told him that maybe they were meant to meet. ** Fernando drank his coffee quietly as he sat across from Adia; he tried not to shift nervously as she studied him. This wasn't something familiar to him. Usually when he catched a woman watching him, he laid on the charm, he flirted, he was never nervous, but Adia's blue eyes put him on edge. Not just because they were beautiful but because he could tell that Adia saw more than most, she noticed more. Everyone around him just saw him as a rich, charming man that could have anything and anyone he wanted. He was used to people seeing that, he counted on people seeing that and only that. Just a few days with Adia and he knew that she would look deeper than the face he showed the world, a face that wouldn't be enough for her curiosity. "Why are you here Fernando?" Fernando opened his mouth right away to give her the same reasons he gave his friends when they asked him why he was going on a vacation alone. He paused for a moment as he watched her watch him. Sighing he put his coffee down. "Do you want the truth or what I have told everyone who has asked me that question?" He watched as she placed her coffee down as well, and leaned in more, giving him her full attention. "How about both." "Okay." He started, smiling at her. "I came here to spend a few days at home because I need rest, then fly out to Italy or France and spend my free time enjoying the beauty of Europe." Adia nodded in understanding. "And the truth?" "How do you know that isn't it?" She just stared at him and waited for his response. He shook his head a little amazed that she could already read him so well. "The truth is that I want to be alone so I don't have to pretend that everything is fine when it isn't, if I'm alone I don't have to make believe that my life is perfect cause I have money. Simply put I'm escaping at least for the summer peoples expectations of me. I'm just running away from my life for a little while." They sat there, a heavy silence taking over both of them. Fernando looked down into his coffee getting lost in his response. He didn't like to admit that he was running. He only looked up when she surprised him by placing her hand over his in comfort. As he looked at her face, he saw understanding and support written all over it. She might not know what he was running from but she understood the need to escape. Sometimes he didn't even know why. On all accounts, he had a perfect life; one that he didn't hate at all but always found lacking. "Deep." She said sarcastically breaking his serious thoughts. He smiled at her grateful that she had broken the mood even though he knew his question would bring it back. "Your turn, why are you here?" He wasn't wrong, he watched as her eyes clouded over for a second before she spoke. "Do you want the truth or the polite company line?" "How about both." He said repeating her previous answer. "My grandmother is going through a hard time, so when she asked me if wanted to accompany her I figured why not, I can help my grandmother and enjoy the summer." He accepted her well thought out answer with a nod before he asked the same she had asked. "And the truth?" "Now you're just pinching my lines." She said with a smile. He waited for her truth quietly. "The truth is that I've made some very big mistakes that hurt people I care about and myself. I let down one of the most important people in my life and I let myself down. I let my fears take over and made a mistake I can't ever take back. Therefore, when my grandmother unwittingly offered me a way out, I took it like a lifeline." She said honestly, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I'm simply escaping; I'm if only for a little while running away from my life and the mess that I have made of it." This time he offered support and took her hand in his. She watched as his thumb ran over her knuckles in a soothing motion, finally when she looked up she saw that devious look in his eyes, which caused her to smile every time she saw. "Deep" He mocked, causing her to laugh which was what he wanted. "Too deep for such a beautiful day, come let's get out of here. What do you say we visit Barcelona?" He knew she wanted to go there. "I want to show you 'El Barrio Gótico', know what it is?" He asked as he placed some money on the table and stood up offering his hand for her to take. Adia placed her hand in his, not letting go of it when she stood up but lacing her fingers through his. "The Gothic Quarter right, I've been wanting to check it out." "It's one of the oldest and most fascinating parts of Barcelona, we can stop and see the Palacio Del Ayuntamiento, it's the town hall." Fernando said raising the hand he held to his lips and placing a small kiss on the knuckles he had been rubbing earlier and flashed a charming flirtatious grin. "You're going to love it." Adia stopped suddenly making him stop too, Fernando turned to her curiously. "Problem?" Adia shook her head. "No I just wanted to say thanks Fernando, for whatever reason you have come into my life at the exact moment I needed something new and happy in it. A few days ago I was miserable, only smiling when I had to so that my grandmother wouldn't catch on and feel bad about me not enjoying myself, and now I have something to look forward to everyday I see you. I don't really know the reasons why you are here but I'm glad that you are, I think maybe we were fated to meet don't you?" Fernando smiled, this time a smile that had no charm but sweetness behind it, that made Adia think of a small child you just want to hug. "I think so Adia, I think so, fated."** ~*~ "Wow you are miles away." Fernando snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the voice, only to see Adia seated across his table with a smirk firmly in place. "Sorry, been here long?" Adia shook her head. "Not long, just long enough to place an order, strip naked, do a little dance on the table and get dressed again, made excellent tips. I'm thinking of not going back home, stay here and do that for a living." Fernando returned her grin at her sassy response, he liked that about her. Truth told he liked everything about her, but he really liked that he never knew what was going to come out of her mouth. The women in his life were always careful of what they said for fear it would upset him and it did, he hated people who censored themselves for someone else, it was boring and useless. Being Fernando Torres had its rewards but it had it drawbacks too, you couldn't tell who was being real and who was just sucking up was just one of them. "A worthy life choice, but please do you're little dance again, cause that is really something I would never want to miss." He said with a playful leer. "Okay." "Okay?" He asked his eyes widening as he saw her get up from her seat. He started to choke a little as he laughed when she started to do a little dance that reminded him of the hokey-pokey. When she sat back down, he gave her a mournful sigh through his remaining chuckles. "I was hoping you would strip again." "Sorry you snooze you lose." Adia said with laugh at the puppy-dog eyes that he gave her. "Mean, get a guy all excited for nothing. So what should we do today?" "Well I was reading about 'Las Ramblas',” Adia said taking out a small travel book from her purse. "Between Plaza de Catalunya and the port I know where it is." "Yeah I want to go to Palacio de Moya, it's said to have extraordinary wall-paintings." Adia said excitedly. "They are beautiful." Fernando agreed smiling as he watched her practically bouncing in her seat. "I want to see it before I leave in a few days." She said slowly, hating that she had to tell him that her grandmother had decided to leave Spain early and move onto France. Fernando in the last week had become important to her. It amazed her that she had such a connection with someone who was pretty much a stranger. Hell, she didn't even know his last name, or where he was from other than he was born in Madrid. And yet since that day when he sat down with her she had been looking forward to everyday she met him in this Café, she looked forward to the time they spend together while he told her all he knew about the city. She wasn't still sure why he mattered but she didn't want to stop seeing him, she knew that much. She also knew there was nothing she could do; she couldn't very well tell her grandmother that she wanted to stay in one city the whole summer because she had met some boy in a café. What she wanted was Fernando in her life a little longer. "Leaving? You're going home already, it's only mid July." Fernando asked surprised. Surprised that she was leaving and surprised at the physical reaction he had to her announcement. His stomach dropped and he felt something like panic seep in him for a moment. He didn't want her to leave. Not yet. Not when he was just getting to know her. "No." She said shaking her head. "Not home, Paris. That was my next destination after Spain." Fernando nodded and remained silent thinking. He wanted to see her again; he needed to see her again. Adia watched him, quiet herself. She wanted to see him again, she just didn't know if she should tell him, finding the courage to voice her wishes, something she wasn't used to doing. "I don't want to go Fernando, I have to go but I don't want. I'd like to spend more time with you, like I told you yesterday I needed something new and happy in my life and you came in, I don't want to lose that, not yet." "Fated." Fernando said softly. "I'm going to propose something, but I'm afraid I'll sound like a stalker again, however I don't want to stop seeing you either so I'll risk it." "Let's hear it then." "We meet up in Paris." He simply said. Adia looked at him, surprised at what he said and the tone in which he said it. He was serious. "Meet up in Paris." Fernando watched her as she considered his proposal, very much like the first day when he asked her if he could see her again, the ball was once again in her court and he could tell the second she made the decision. Her big blue eyes really didn't hide anything. He started to smile before she even spoke. "Meet me in Paris." ~~ |

Adia sat for the second day at 'Le Dauphin' waiting for Fernando. The small café with its rear dining room provides a dark, somewhat decaying refuge which caused people linger over dinner or coffee and was very much a stark contrast to the traffic congested plaza just outside. Its location was perfect for Adia with its walking distance of not only her hotel, but some of the more important tourist spots in Paris, like the Louvre, just outside André Malraux Square. This time instead of ordering coffee, she ordered some of the regional wines the place had to offer. ** "Adia, you're in Paris you can't just order coffee here, it's Paris as in France. You have to order wine, it's like a rule." "Really so it's like, no shoe, no shirt, no ordering of the Paris wine then no service type of thing?" She asked sarcastically. "Yes it's exactly like that." Fernando answered seriously, cracking a smile at her tone. "Let's get something straight Fernando, coffee is the nectar from the gods, it is all mighty, all powerful, and there is no wine in this country or the world for that matter that can ever compare, even the worst coffee in the world is superior to any other drink." "That's one mighty soapbox you got there Adia." Fernando said, laughing softly at her rant, she sent him a half-hearted glare but he could see the corners of her mouth tilling up. "So, does that mean no wine?" ** Adia smiled. She could just imagine how smug he was going to be when he saw her with a glass of wine in her hand. He was cocky that one, always walking and talking with slight swagger. However, he entertained her no matter how she fought it, he was arrogant true enough and just looking at him you could tell that he had money to spare yet he was charming and friendly with everyone. Charming, friendly and surprisingly understanding and accepting, what better proof did she need then the conversation that they had the day before. ** "Here we are the Tuileries gardens milady" He said making a grand gesture with one hand as the other tugged on hers pulling her along. "God I love this place, my mother and I came here a lot when we were in Paris." She said distracted by the beautiful sight. "I would sit down and read, she would wonder around, trying to engage in conversation with her butchered French, people were scared." She said as she leaned into his side when he placed his arms around her shoulder, pulling her close. "You know I think we are getting too comfortable with each other." Fernando smiled at her dry tone. "Really I hadn't noticed." Adia just rolled her eyes at his response. "You know it's funny that you brought that up cause something has been bothering me about our relationship." "I wasn't aware we were in a relationship." "You have something to say about everything don't you?" "Natural default, continue." "As I was saying," He started, clearing his throat in an exaggerated way, which she grinned at. "I find it a little odd that we've known each other for almost two weeks, two weeks where we've seen each other everyday, I've followed you from one country to another and yet I don't know much, if anything about you. All I know is that you are on vacation, your name is Adia and you are traveling with your grandmother." "Maybe I'm just a figment of your imagination, a la Twilight zone," She said jokingly, trying to break the way the conversation was going, he just looked at her seriously and she sighed, inwardly groaning. "I don't want the magic to break." "Pardon?" "Look Fernando, whatever we have right now is great, I'm having a great time with you, but as we've already discovered we are both running from our worlds, I feel if we start talking about those worlds, this free special thing we got now will fade away." "So you don't want any particulars." He said slowly, trying to understand her. For a moment, Adia feared she had upset or hurt him, but she continued. She was not going to deceive him; she had to tell him exactly what she wanted so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding. "I just want to be Fernando and Adia while we are here, is that okay?" Fernando studied her for a long time. He understood what she was saying, not only would they not exchange any information about their real lives but also at the end of this trip they would never see each other again. If they didn't have information about each other they couldn't very well continue whatever was going on between them. For a second he got mad realizing that she didn't want more than a summer with him, his male ego more then took the heavy blow. But as he watched her play with her hands nervously he couldn't help but sigh. She was right they were both avoiding their world, that's why they had connected, that is why what was happening between them now was special and uncomplicated, unlike their real lives. Who was he to try to change what they both obviously needed. "So no last names, no where do you live, nothing like that?" "Yeah" She said softly, her eyes full of uncertainty. "Just Adia and Fernando." He said as he smiled at her softly. "It has a nice ring to it, Adia and Fernando, it is." Adia let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. They both sat silently, taking in their beautiful surroundings, Fernando took one of her hands and brought it to his lips, still looking around he started to talk again. "This place is really beautiful, it reminds me of London, ever been?" "Yeah, it does..." Adia nodded absently, before she looked at him startled. Fernando grinned at her, the gleam in his eye back at full force. "Sneaky." "Thank you." ** "My, my, my, is that, no it can't be, it can't be wine you're drinking Adia, what happened to the nectar from the Gods." Adia looked up. "No need to be smug." "Natural default" Fernando said taking a seat, his brown eyes warming up as he took in her appearance, she had on a cute pale pink summer dress that was held up by tiny straps, and her long hair was up in a messy ponytail. "My god you are adorable." He watched as she blushed from the top of her hairline to her neck. "That blush of yours makes you cuter." Adia cleared her throat. "I already had coffee at the hotel if you must know, and I ordered wine so I wouldn't get another 'this is Paris' comments from you." Fernando just grinned. "Anyway, I know what I want to do today." "Do tell." "A Paris classic." She said defensively. Fernando raised an eyebrow at her tone. "Don't keep me in suspense." "Notre Dame," She said waiting for him so say something. "What, you're not going to say that it's been done?" "Why would I?" He asked inquiringly. Besides, there's something I want you to check out after we go to the Cathedral." "What?" she asked, curiosity already filling her eyes. "Not telling." "Mean." Adia pouted. "Thank you." ~*~ "I swear it doesn't matter how many time I see it, I'm still amazed by the grand scope of the Dame," Adia said as the walked out of the Cathedral, still looking back, to look up. "You think that there could be hunchback up on the bell tower, like Quasi?" "Quasi?" Adia stopped in her tracks and stared at him in shock. "You have seen the Disney movie about the Notre Dame right?" "Uh...no?" he said unsure. "You live a sheltered life, I feel for you." She said honestly, a small smile playing on her lips as he frowned. "I'm just not into cartoons." Adia's eyes filled of pity as she watched him. "That is possibly the saddest thing I've ever heard." Fernando rolled his eyes at her tone. "Whatever. Do you want to know what I wanted to show you or not? Although I'm not sure I should show you seeing as you are mocking me." Adia stopped. "I'll be good." She said with a smile as she leaned in a kissed in on the cheek. Fernando turned his face to her immediately as her lips grazed his face, the action causing his lips to come dangerously close to hers. For a moment, time and everything around them stopped. All Fernando could see was Adia and how close they were, he physically had to stop himself from jumping her as he watched her slowly lick her lips. "Is that so?" He whispered. "I'll try." She whispered back. "So what's this you want to show me?" "Ahh yes, now be prepared, because after I show you this you will worship me." He teased as he started to walk away from the Cathedral. "Please the only way I would worship anyone is if the bought me the Dior company" She said sarcastically. "I'll make a note." He quipped. "It's only a few blocks away." "Lead the way." "So tell me about Quasi." Holding hands, they slowly walked. Fernando smiled as he watched her talk a mile a minute about the animated movie, going over every point of the movie as if where the best movie in history. Listening to her, he realized that he wouldn't tire of it anytime soon. He liked listening to her; he liked the way he eyes lit up about something as simple as a kid's movie. "Here we are." He said waiting for her to see what he was showing her. "You love books, so I figured this was the best place to take you." Adia looked at the out door shop with a wide grin, it was stalls lined against the stone wall filled with books. "It's called the Bookseller's stall, it's basically a book fair, you can find anything here. Books, old prints, comics, maps, if it's written it's here, you like it?" Adia looked at him, her grin still firmly in place as she hugged him quickly. "I love it, thank you for bring me here." Fernando smiled softly at her. "You're welcome, now go, go check things out I know you're dying to." Adia rolled her eyes at him teasingly and started to walk away. "Adia," He said quickly, all of a sudden edgy. "Yes?" "Will you," He paused and took her hands in his that were unexpectedly shaking. "Will you go out with me tonight?" Adia looked at him a bit surprised, surprised that he asked and surprised that he was nervous, Fernando didn't seem like the nervous type but she answered him anyway, smiling at the unsure look on his face. "Of course." |

Fernando walked into his hotel room a little after four. After spending over an hour at the Stalls, he had finally been able to drag Adia away from the books. Not that it mattered because by then she had already managed to buy half of the inventory from the stalls. ** "Let's go back to the gardens, it's early." Adia said happily, as she took the bags of books from the vender. Smiling as he told her in Spanish to come back again and soon. Fernando shook his head as he watched her practically skip in her excitement. Stopping her as he took her hand, he reached for her bags. "I can carry it." Fernando just rolled his eyes at her and took the bags. "I can't believe you bought so many books. You're going to need one luggage just for your books." Adia just shrugged. "I couldn't help myself, you saw all the great stuff they had." Fernando stared at her with a bewildering smile. "You know most girls come to Paris to shop, but for clothes not books." Adia shrugged once more. "Who cares about clothes when you can find a first edition of 'Emma' for sale? Besides I'm not like most girls." Fernando stopped, forcing her to do the same, "I'm beginning to get that." Adia stopped as Fernando continued to study her. She reminded herself to breathe as his brown eyes focused solely on her. "You're not like most girls at all," Fernando started before a wide grin broke through. "You're weirder than the most." Adia's smile grew with his and she started to laugh. "You're catching on Fernando, you're catching on." ** 'Not like most girls at all.' Fernando snapped out of his thoughts as his cell phone chirped announcing he had a message. He always turned off his cell when he was out with Adia, not wanting his moments with her interrupted by the real world. Punching in his code, he listened to his first message. He rolled his eyes with a small smile gracing his lips as he heard his drunken friend's hellos. "Hermano, we don't know where you are but you're missing some wild parties." He heard Sergio Ramos through the slurring. "If you're done with 'Finding the inner Fernando': your road to self-discovery, you should join us in Majorca. Anyway, Miguel wants to say something." Fernando continued to listen as the phone was past from one person to another. He could hear the girlish squeals and knew that Sergio was at it again, when Miguel Torres came on the phone. "Nando, were in the hell are you? We called your house back in Madrid and the maid said you had left. Anyway as Sergio said we're in Majorca, you should join us, it's been months and we haven't heard from you. Sergio and Elizabeth are driving me crazy and I'm out numbered as the voice of reason, not that you would be any help there. Well call us, we are on a boat, hopefully Serg won't sink this one right? Whatever is keeping you away must be damn good, later man." Fernando shook his head and felt sorry for Miguel, being the sensible of the group was never easy and if he were there he really wouldn't be able to control their more crazy friends. Sergio and Elizabeth were forces of nature like hurricanes, they couldn't be stopped and you just had to wait to see the damage they left in their wake. Deciding not to call them back, he turned his cell off once more. He wasn't ready to leave anytime soon anyway. ~*~ Adia sat in the love seat in the sitting room of her suite writing postcards to her friends as her grandmother came in and out of her bedroom. "What are you doing tonight, honey? You should come with me, I'm having dinner with some dear old friends." Adia groaned inwardly at her grandmothers words. "No that's okay grandma, I was thinking of checking out Paris's nightlife." Seeing her grandmother's concerned face, she added "don't worry I'll be careful, not be out too late and I'll have my cell if you want to call me, you have fun with your friends." "Very well, but be careful and order one of the hotel's drivers, I don't want you on a bus or train at night." "I will." ** "So about tonight." "Yes?" Adia asked with a smile. "I'll send a car to pick you up." "Are you going to tell me where you're taking me?" Fernando smiled innocently. "Of course I'll tell you, to dinner." Adia rolled her eyes. "I figured that, but where?" "Ahh, well that I can't tell you,” Fernando said grinning. "I can say to dress nice, the food is great and the view will blow you mind away." "Fernando," Adia whined a little, pouting the same way he had done before. "Tell me." "Put that lip away missy, it won't work on me." Adia grinned leaning the same way he had, bringing her lips close to his. "You sure about that?" "No I'm not sure." Fernando answered honestly, watching her lips once again with the overwhelming urge to cover them with his own. "Ha!" "But I do know that this time around I won't break." "Mean." "Just be ready for a happy night." He said smiling. She smiled back. "Good enough." ** ~*~ "You know how to go all out Fernando." Adia said with a smile as he got up from the table and pulled out her seat for her. After getting ready Adia had gone down in a simple black cocktail dress to wait in the lobby of her hotel, there the manager had told her that her car was waiting. Getting in the car, she had tired to get the driver to tell her where they were going. The driver had laughed and said that Mr. Fernando had warned him she would ask and not to say anything. Adia had laughed with the driver amazed that Fernando had been ready for her. After awhile they had pulled to the least expected place. ** "The Eiffel Tower?" Adia asked as the driver held out his hand to help her out of the car. "Fernando said dinner." The man just laughed. "The 'Jules Verne' Miss is on the second platform, it's supposed to be a great restaurant, one of the best in Paris." Walking with her, he took her to where one waited for the elevator, there stood a woman in basic server attire. "Have a good night miss; the young lady will take you up." The driver said with a smile tipping his hat. Adia thanked him as she got into the elevator with the woman. The ride up was silent and she smoothed her hands over her dress all of a sudden nervous. "You look fine miss." The woman said as the elevator came to a stop. Adia shot her a grateful smile as they stepped into the restaurant. As she followed the woman she could feel eyes on her as she walked over to one of the more private parts of the elegant restaurant.** "You look very nice." Fernando said softly as he took a seat himself. Adia beamed at the compliment, when she realized where she was going she had feared that she wasn't dressed right. "Thank you, so do you." Fernando smiled as he watched her look around with the same amount of awe and curiosity she looked at everything that was new to her. "Surprised?" "Yes, I had forgotten that there was a restaurant up here, so when we pulled up I was a little confused." Adia responded, she grinned. "I thought you were going to make me climb every step." "1652 steps to the top, I'm not that mean, and besides I'm wearing sole shoes." Fernando said with a mock wince. "Try heels." "I'll be sure to do that." Adia and Fernando laughed continuing with their banter, only pausing to order. Their food came, waiters buzzed by with wine and desert menus, their conversation and laughter never dimming as they ate and drank. Once again remembering that they were just Adia and Fernando they told each other stories about themselves without going into specific. Only after desert did they notice that they had spend the last two hours in the restaurant, after paying the check Fernando let Adia back to the elevator. Expecting to go down she was surprised when it went up. Noticing Adia's expression, Fernando smiled as he looked down at her. "You didn't think the night was over right? I promised you great food, did I deliver?" "Yes" Adia said slowly, smiling back at him. "Awesome food." "Right, well now I'm giving you the great view I promised, the top platform has a bar and the best view of the city, during the day it's perfect to look out, during the night it's not the best, but trade off is that the stars look so close it feels like you can reach out and touch them." "Fernando are you a closeted romantic?" Adia said teasingly. "I'll never tell." Fernando teased back. "What would your friends say?" Adia asked as they stepped out of the elevator. "Ha, they'd never believe you, I'm smooth not a hapless romantic." Fernando said seriously, leading them to the side of the tower in front of the bar. Adia laughed. "Well it's a good thing I don't know them, I'm not sure I could keep that secret." "They called today." Fernando started as they stopped at the railing, he let her step in front of him and he closed in behind her placing his hands on the railing on either side of her. "Left a message while I was with you." "What did they say?" Adia asked as she looked up at the night sky. "You're right amazing view." "You should never doubt what I say." Fernando joked. "They wanted to know where I was and when I was joining them." Adia turned around quickly, still caged in between the railing and Fernando. "Are you leaving?" Fernando shook his head smiling at her. "No, they're in Majorca; Paris seems much more stimulating for some reason." "Really?" Adia asked with a shy smile. "Really." He said raising a hand to caress her cheek. Adia took a small step and hugged Fernando on impulse. "What was that for?" He asked bewildered as he closed his arms around her. "Not that I'm complaining, arms full of a beautiful girl not a bad thing at all." Adia pulled back enough to look at Fernando's face but not enough to step out of the embrace, not that it mattered since he hadn't removed his arms from around her. "It's been a wonderful date, I'm thanking you." Fernando pouted. "Just a hug, I feel cheated." "You're very ungrateful Fernando." Adia teased. "Over privileged people usually are, it's a curse we have to live with, we never appreciate the simple things." Fernando said dryly. "That must be it." Adia agreed in the same tone. They stared at each other with matching smiles. "I want to thank you too." "For what?" Adia asked. "For being beautiful," He whispered before giving into his impulse. He placed his lips softly on hers giving her a chance to move back, when she didn't he kissed her more firmly, kissing her deeply, tracing her lips with his tongue waiting for her to open her mouth, when she did he groaned at the warmth of her mouth. Their tongues met causing both to moan. Fernando only broke the kiss when breathing became a problem. "Thank you." Adia gulped for air a little lost, a kiss wasn't suppose leave you this dizzy was it? As she heard him thank her once more, she blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "You are most welcome." 'That boy sure can kiss' she grinned at the thought as she looked up to the stars. |
