The effervescent beauty of the monument,the sing song voice of the wind passing by and the presence of Franco near me,made the moment all the more enthralling.
I rushed out of the car and took a long breath,closing my eyes. For the first time in my life I am feeling independent, independent from my father,from the world I hate the most and mostly independent from my poor fate. There is no one to limit me here, no one to tell me how to behave, no one to keep an eye on me and no one to judge me. Being in city of Paris it shouldn't be big of a deal to visit Eiffel Tower but for me it is, I have only been here with Sawyer and my father's men and it never felt like visiting rather I was just accustomed to the beauty of my place without knowing it's significance. The joy was huge in my heart and I could not express it, no one will even understand it except Franco, because he knew it so well that he took me here.
"Are you gonna enjoy all by yourself? I am here as well."
Franco noticed me enjoying the air of freedom with all my heart and I did not forget that he was here, how could I, when he is the reason of this precious moment.
"The wind is so calming,come and feel it with me."
We both stood still there for quite some time and the everytime the wind kissed my cheek or brushed my hair,a new kind of joy bubbled within me.
I turned to Franco,his face was calmer than ever and his eyes were earnest with warmth in them,despite the cold weather, I could feel the heat generating in him and supposed,what's coming next. He grabbed my wrist, slowly drew me closer to him and wrapped his one arm around my waist and tugged the other on my,now tangled hairs, he started kissing me, working all around my mouth to feel the passion and his tongue felt the most amazing thing I ever tasted, as our juices mixed with each other a new sense of feeling generated and the only desire I have now, is him. I so desperately want him right now that I could do every possible thing for him to be mine, but as our kiss ended, I realised that I will have to answer my father about leaving the party and if he knew I was with Franco,all the time, in this time of night,he will surely go crazy. He doesn't wants me to stain his pride and if anyone knew that I escaped the party with Franco late night,it won't be good for any of us.
"I think we should head back to the party now, if father knew I am missing,he won't be happy."
I said and he nodded in response. Franco ignited the engine as soon as I sat in the car and we rushed back to being our boring usual selves in the party.
Thankfully the dance was still on and my father was dancing with a small brunette with a big booty and a very indecent exposure of her body through that dress she was wearing. I searched for my mother and there she was giggling and chatting with the other trophy wives. When I found everything on place I turned to Franco and he gave me a thumbs up, he must have checked on his parents as well. We took seats nearby noon the hall and I laughed,at the small yet adventurous and a very romantic escape. Franco saw me laughing at my own and mouthed,
"What happened?"
I just shook my head with a smile and said, "Thankyou"
Silently.
The party was at it's end and I am grateful to god for it. My father finally left that brunette when it was time to say goodbye to every guest that attended the party, then comes the Elliott and his father, I suppose he doesn't have a mother.
"It was really nice meeting you today, looming forward to our next meeting. Contact me whenever you'll visit Paris next time."
My father spoke to Elliott's dad in a most polite manner.
"We'll be staying here for two more days as for business purpose. We can have a meal together during our stay here."
What? No... I can't tolerate him for more than a sec. A meal is too much.
"Then we can have dinner tomorrow at our place, will you be OK with that?"
Father has gone mad,seriously!
"Tomorrow is good,but not at your place. You can join us in the hotel we are staying in the banquet hall is not bad there."
He said,obviously he doesn't trust us because he thinks our family is close to Costellos.
"That sounds good too."
My father said and they left. Soon the driver arrived with our cars and Franco already left in his. He could not ask my father to let him take me home this late at night when it's already past midnight. Me and mom sat at the back seats and father next to the driver in front.
We reached home a few minutes before Costellos while Franco was already there and must have left for his room as his car was parked in the spot and he was nowhere to be seen. As it was late in night,nobody talked just everyone went to their respective rooms.
I was on my way to bedroom as well,when a hand dragged me to the room next to mine and of course he never leaves a chance to startle me.
"What is Franco? You can't just drag me in."
I yelled.
"I know but I wanted to spend some time with you before my flight to Italy tomorrow afternoon."
He admitted and all my anger vanished just compassion remained. I just glared his eyes intently and gave a slight smile.
"Do you think we came closer than necessary in these two day?"
I asked him as I wanted to know, it's not only me who felt this way.
"We are supposed to be close. You were meant for me,principessa!"
He said making me blush.
"Ah! I can't wait to visit this place again, hope you will miss me too."
He said.
"Well.. I doubt that."
I teased.
He grabbed my waist pushed me closer to him in a way that even air could not escape from between us. We kissed for quite a long time than we usually did...well we did it twice only, still. And when we finished, I saw something in eyes, the depth of which was so dense and deep. I could feel the same energy from him which I get by thinking of him. And I can't believe the guy whom I nearly hated three days before is now becoming the greatest reason of my happiness. And I could finally see my fate turning upside down and my fortune laughing at it. Life has finally started being life and I am starting to be a person o always wanted to. The only thing I want now is that everything stops as they are now and I'll be the luckiest person if I marry Franco-previously-treacherous Costello. We wished each other good night and I promised myself I will wait for him rather than missing him and he promised to be back soon.It seems like the most beautiful phase of my life starts now. I slept and kept dreaming about all the beautiful incidents that happened today. All the beautiful moments with Franco.
