Aserrin: Approaches with a stiff smile This gala's busier than a beehive, isn't it? Enjoying the... buzz?
I laugh actually I was just thinking of you.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Me? You were thinking about me? Well, aren't you just full of surprises? So, what's on your mind, dear?
are you free next weekend?
checks his pocket watch Hmmm, let's see... I have a few appointments lined up, but I'm sure I can squeeze you in.
you have to come home after your appointment?.. if you would like.
smirks Come home? Ah, you're trying to set me up for another one of those boring dinner nights, aren't you? Count me out.
no.. I was going to ask you if you want to go on a little trip with me.
raises an eyebrow A trip? Well, well, well, you do know how to surprise me, don't you? Alright, princess, where are we off to this time?
grabs his coat Italy, huh? Alright, princess, you've got my attention. Italy sounds intriguing.
smirks Alright, princess, let's start packing. We wouldn't want to miss our flight now, would we?
hugs easterlymuse back Oh, don't get all mushy on me now, princess. It's just a trip, nothing more. But...
Over the next few days, Aserrin and Easterlymuse work tirelessly to pack their bags and make travel arrangements for their trip to Italy. They both start feeling excited and anticipation for the adventure ahead, unaware of the unexpected twists and turns that await them in the Eternal City.
I board the plane first because I’m a VIP but I wait for you
grumblesVIP, huh? Just a fancy title for being stuck in first class. All the same, I'll be there soon enough.
I sit down but I keep waiting for you
spots easterlymuse waiting for him and walks over with a smirk Well, well, looks like someone's anxious to get this trip started.
I laugh softly you’re not anxious to go home right?
sits down next to easterlymuse Home? Ha! Who needs that when you've got a beautiful stranger to accompany you on this wild adventure?
I blush a bit oh please.. you’re the one who keeps calling me princess and making me feel important. I smile
leans closer to easterlymuse Ah, princess, don't be fooled by my words. You're not important to me. No, no, don't misunderstand.
leans back in his seat, crossing his arms Now, let's focus on the real reason we're here.
pulls out a small black velvet box from his pocket Speaking of focusing, I've got something for you. Close your eyes and keep quiet.
opens the black velvet box, revealing a beautiful gold necklace with a diamond pendant Ta-da! For you, princess. A little something to add some sparkle to your Italian adventure.
I open my eyes and gasp I- it’s so pretty..
grinning Well, I aim to please, princess. Now, let me put it on for you. clasp the necklace around easterlymuse's neck There we go, perfect fit. Just like you, princess.
I touch the pendant you really shouldn’t have..
smirks Oh, come on, princess. Don't act like you don't deserve it. Besides, it's just a little something to make you happy.
I mean.. you bought a plane ticket and paid for two hotel rooms and food and everything else
waves off the comment Ah, details, details. Consider it a little bonus for being such a good sport about all this.
I blush and look away thank you
takes out his phone and starts checking the latest news Now that we're all set for Italy, let's make sure we're prepared for anything.
