Anria P.O.V.

I fell on my bed. My cheeks are red and I can only think of one thing. Him.

It was so much fun. We almost kissed. I get a tingling in my stomach again. It was kind he let me choose a stuffed dog. I grabbed my stuffed Golden Retriever and hugged him firmly. When I see this dog it will always remember me of Danilo and Rome.

The memory when Danilo got sick from the roller coaster. It was cute but also sad. He didn't want to bother me and still went on the rollercoaster with me, and when those boys went to bother us. How he stood in front of him. He's such a gentleman.

It was too bad when one of his bodyguards intervened. I would have wanted to see what would happen if it didn't work out that way.

I'm feeling tired and get changed my clothes and lie down on the bed again. I hope I can see him soon. First I must ask my parents if I haven't any duties to fulfil. I'll ask them tomorrow. I hoped the next days will as great as today.

I closed my eyes and fall asleep.

***

The following days passed quickly. Danilo took me to a Pizza restaurant. When we got there he explained everything how it was made. I secretly know how to make a pizza, but I liked it so much when he talked. How he translated everything. It sounded so cute. He also took me to cycle through Rome. It was busy in the city but we drove past beautiful places. It was so funny about our bodyguards. While we cycled they couldn't follow us through all the busy traffic and we were called to wait so they could follow us again. Of course, we waited but I was so excited not to do that. I wanted to be all alone with Danilo.

Unfortunately, he didn't try to kiss me again. I wanted him to do that, but I'm afraid to take the first move. Perhaps it doesn't happen anymore?

Danilo and I are together in a large field with countless people around us. This time I didn't wear my wig.

A big screen is before us. It's an outside cinema. The sun is down and the sky is dark with thousands of stars.

I can feel the warmth of Danilo next to me. He's so closed to me that I can hear his breath. I know he has a secret and I have to tell him my secret one day. I don't know how and if I did how he'll respond. Perhaps I'll ruin everything? So... I have to do it at another moment. I let go of the thought and looked at his camera. He has already taken thousands of photos of me. I would like to see them.

I looked at Danilo. How he looked back and I looked back fast to the film. We watched You've got Mail.

I feel he's still looked at me and I slowly turned my head to his direction. When our eyes met, we stared at each other for a long time without saying anything. When you looked at someone you don't need words but just look. I started to smile and he started to smile too. I wanted to touch his face and suddenly my hand did go up to his face. When I touched him, he exhaled and let me inspect his face. When I took my hand back, he moved to my way.

I bent to his way and almost our lips touched each other. Just at that moment, I heard someone calling Danilo's name.

I moved back and looked around me where the voice came from. Danilo did the same.

A group of boys came up to us and looked at Danilo happily. People that sat around us looked mad at the group because they interrupted the film.

One boy with black curls smiled at Danilo. Danilo started to speak Italian and the boy talked back. Danilo sighed deeply and he turned to me.

"Anria. This is my cousin were I talked about a long time ago. This is Stefano," he introduced with a little annoying voice because the romantic moment is over.

Stefano bowed over to me and held out a hand. "Nice to meet you, Anria. Welcome to Rome," he winked and I shook my hand.

I'm flattered by his way and said," Thank you, I love it here."

I fell that Danilo looked silently at Stefano and isn't saying any word.

"I see the film is almost over. Would you like to go to Plaziuna?" asked Stefano curiously he looked at me and not at Stefano.

He has the same big brown eyes as Danilo. No matter how crazy this sounds. They could be brothers.

"Uwm" Danilo mumbled uneasily and looked a little embarrassed at me.

"What is Plaziuna?" I asked confusingly.

"That's a disco. They play different kinds of music from a different era every day. Today they play the 70s," explained Stefano enthusiastically.

I looked at Danilo and see his uncomfortable posture. He wouldn't know if I wanted to go if he didn't ask me?

I watched the film again and see that's it over.

"I'll be waiting in your car. You can meet me there if you want to come," Stefano said and walked away with his friends.

To break the chilly silence, I said, "I've never been to a disco before here in Rome and I think it would be nice to go," I explained enthusiastically.

Danilo looked at me and I see him relax. "Are you sure, we can go somewhere else," he responded uncertainly.

"I'm sure," I smiled to him and we get up and walked towards the cars.

"And?" Stefano asked curiously when we get to the cars.

"Yes, we would like to come," I say quickly before Danilo can say anything.

"Nice. I'll see you there?" Stefano answered quickly.

"Follow my car," Danilo said and I nodded and we get in our cars.

About 15 minutes later we arrived in a narrow street where the cars can't enter. Danilo gets out of his car and I do the same thing.

"We have to walk from here because we have to go up," Danilo said, pointing his hand upwards, and I see a luminous road that leads to a small castle.

"Oh..." I mumbled with big eyes. The disco is in a castle how cool is that.

We walked together over the illuminated road towards the small castle, followed by our bodyguards.

When we are almost there I already hear the music play. When we stood in front of the entrance I suddenly saw a sign. 18+

Oh ... no, how do I get in?

I grabbed Danilo arm and whispered panickily, "I'm not 18 yet."

"Wait a minute, I'll get Stefano," Danilo whispered back and walked into the castle. In five minutes he came back and took my hand and pulled me inside.

Inside it is a massive disco. Everywhere are different kind of colours shining. It's crowded with people dancing on the beat of the music.

Danilo pulled me to a direction. All of sudden Stefano is stand before us and hold glitter hats and weird glitter glasses in his hand.

"When you go to a disco you have to dress like you are in a disco," he laughed. He wore a red cap and black glasses.

"Especially it's always helpful to protect your identity," he whispered to us and I look shocked.

I quickly grabbed the red glitter hat and the pink glasses and put it on. Danilo took the green hat with yellow glasses. It's a terrible match but whatever.

"Can I have this dance," Danilo asked with a low voice and hold out his hand.

"Yes, of course, sir," I answered back exaggerated and he took me to the dance floor.

"Let's get ready!" the DJ screamed loud and he played Michael Jackson's Thriller.

I let myself go. People bumped into me and I keep dancing. A feel of freedom flies all over me.

Soon after the first song, Stefano came with a small drink. He gave it to me and Danilo. I look shocked first because I am not allowed to drink alcohol until 21. Here in Italy, you must be 18 when you can drink alcohol. I took a sip and feel the sweet drink slide down. Whatever! It felt wonderful to break the rules. Better than not breaking them.

We danced all night. I don't know what time it is, but I don't care. After the 3rd cup, I fell light in my head.

"That's enough," Danilo's voice whispered worried and he took my arm. A quiet song echoes through the boxes and he took me in the middle of the dance floor.

It feels we are the only one on the dance floor. He looked at me piercingly. Just a look can say a lot.

"I love you," he whispered and his eyes twinkled.

"I love you too," I whispered back, and he bent towards me. Our lips touched and fireworks popped out of my body. That was our first kiss. Our real first kiss. His lips taste like strawberries.

We continue to dance.

"Do you want anything to drink?" Danilo asked after we are three songs further.

I nodded.

"I'll get you something," he kissed me on my lips again and let go and disappeared between the people around us. I waited for him with the greatest feeling of love in my body.

After a while the feeling of love abbot away. It did take him too long to get a drink for us. I started to lose patience and started to walk to the bar. But he wasn't there.

I looked around me and walked through the whole disco but I can't find hem. I started to panic.

I also checked if I saw his bodyguards but I can't see them. My bodyguards disappeared too. I can't find both. I can't breathe and out of a sudden, I see Stefano in the corner of my eye. I started to relax and walked over to him.

"Where's Danilo?" I asked loudly to get above the music.

Stefano looked at me strangely. "I have no idea, maybe you can call him?" he suggested.

I nodded and walked outside and grabbed my phone. I see my phone is almost dead so I call him fast and got the voicemail. I just want to speak and my phone is empty.

"Shit, stupid phone" I shouted to my phone.

Stefano walked outside and stopped before me.

"Couldn't you reach him?"

I shake my head no.

"You can use my phone?" Stefano offered and gave me his phone.

I call Danilo again but I get the voicemail.

"Oh... no," I panicked.

Danilo and my bodyguards are gone. My bodyguards can only be reached through my phone. Useful?

"Can I help you?" Stefano regretted what has happened now.

"I just want to go home," I answered him.

"Okay then. Can I take you to your Hotel?" Stefano asked nicely.

I looked at him and gave him a little smile. "I would like that."

We walked to his car. Stefano arranged a taxi for his friends to go home. When we drove away I looked outside.

How could Danilo leave me into the middle of the dance floor? There must be some reason he did this. It should be? Or he isn't the boy I thought he was.

"We are there," Stefano's voice said when we are in the parking lot.

"I'm sorry my nephew left you alone. I think he has a good reason why he did this," Stefano explained regretfully.

I nodded and said: "Thank you for driving me home,"

I wanted to get out of the car, but before I opened the car door Stefano said, "Because you feel bad I have got an idea to make you happy," he said with quickly and questioningly.

At the moment I feel I can't go inside. It's bad this happened always by me. I know my parents going to kill me but however.

I sighed and turned my head to his way and smiled.

"Yes, I need it," I replied. Stefano smiled and said, "I know the perfect place."
