Yes! His name is Fabio.

Fine, I forgive you. BUT I BARELY FORGIVE YOU!

Haha okedoke!

Haha that sounds good to me. I was like meh..more translating..

 

"Who's that?" Elaina refused to just simply let him brush off him and that woman's conversation. It seemed tense and forced, and as his wife-to-be it was her job to care about things such as that. Also, she did not like any woman but herself being that physically close to Christien anyway. Behind Christien's shoulder, Elaina could see the woman staring rather angrily after the two of them. It was bothering Elaina; immensely. Maybe because the alcohol had intensified all of her emotions - the good and bad - or maybe because she simply had a gut-wrentching intuition about her. And she really was very pretty; even more so than most of the French woman that Elaina had seen - which made matters worse. She took her drink from Christien and set it down on the bar, currently focused on Florentine.

 

Audrina liked the way it flowed off her tongue; boyfriend. Boyfriend. Boyfriend. She felt stupidly giddy with the word for some strange reason and had to take another bite of pizza to contain her grin. "I really love it. Thank you. And seeing everything on the way here...was magnificant - really!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Okay Enjoy your Fabio wallpaper xD

Um.. Thanks? Hey, it's not like you haven't done it to me before!

Yeah, I just can't be bothered right now. I don't mind the odd sentence but a whole conversation. Just no.

 

Christien sighed for a moment, pausing before he told her, "It's Florentine." Even as he said her name, he was angry that she had just come up to him, grinning and trying to hug him and kiss and make up as though they'd just had a tiny fall out or even that nothing had ever happened. And that she continued to pester him when he'd told her he had a girlfriend, whom he loved, and he didn't want to talk to her. "I don't know how we ended up in the same bar.. I can't believe it. But I told her I want her to leave us alone."

 

Caden was particularly gladdened by her enthusiasm for everything he'd shown her so far, as well as dinner. Everything was so easy with Audrina. Conversation flowed, they laughed together and he enjoyed himself without even having to think about it. "I'm glad you've liked it all so far. I'm guessing it all means you won't mind visiting here some more and seeing me, too," he chuckled.

 

[VideoStar95]

I've missed you sooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm sorry that you're back at school. I'm back to school next Monday. -.-

Forgive me! <3

Haha, so very true.

 

"Florentine." Elaina said the name slowly, as if hearing it would be the only way for her brain to fully process what he had told her. "If you told her that you wanted her to leave us alone...then why is she coming over here, right now?" She placed her drink somewhat clumsily on the counter and frowned, pushing out her bottom lip. Florentine, true to what Elaina had said, was heading over towards where Christien and her were sitting; looking rather agitated with a tight smile.

"Ah, Christien, ce doit être votre petite amie belle."

 

"Oh, no, I would love that. I definitely won't want to go home by the end of these two weeks." Audrina told him, smiling. A few days ago, when Audrina had picked up Caden's knocked over cases, she never would have guessed that she would be here, on a date with him in London. But she very much liked that she was.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I forgive you, don't worry. I won' blame you for having a life xD School wasn't too bad, actually. I don't even have any exams this month like most people, so I'm happy.

But I missed you, too <3

By the way, I thought of the most awesome way for Christien to visit Elaina when she's in college!

 

"She's what..?" Christien said, and then looked around. He hid his frown, wanting to be civil, but he wondered the same thing as her--what was Florentine doing, coming over here like that?

"Oui, c'est ma vraiment belle petite amie, Elaina," Christien replied. "Et, Elaina, c'est Florentine.." he paused-- of course, Elaina knew who she was, but Florentine didn't know that, and made she still thought that Elaina had no idea who she was--, "Ma copine [in the just friends sense of the word]." That was a wrong, too. He didn't see her as a friend at all, and Elaina knew that, but wanting to be civil, he acted like little had happened between them.

"C'est bien de vous vous rencontrez, Elaina," Florentine said with a sweet but still clearly forced smile.

 

"Well, you know you're welcome to stay with me any time if you've got some free time. I have a spare room.. Or you can have mine and I'll go in there.. Or neither of us has to go in the other room, depending on how you feel about it," Caden said, "You know I'd love to see you whenever I can." He felt incredibly lucky to have run into Audrina in Paris, to have gotten to know her then and over the course of the few days. He hoped it was the start of something really good for them both.

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha, well thank you kindly. And eew, exams are AWFUL. That's what I like about a new semester, only new material! No exams. Thank God.

<3

How?!

 

Elaina understood mostly what Christien had said, yet was slightly lost when it came to Florentine - and the alcohol certainly did not help the situation. She mentally shook herself; trying to sober herself up for at least a few moments. "I don't speak French, unfortunately." She told Florentine with an equally forced smile, "Though, I can understand some things. So, it's nice to meet you too." Truthfully, Elaina was somehow managing to keep her control...but barely. She stole a glance at Christien, who was doing miraculously well for someone who got his heart torn apart by the woman in front of him.

 

 

"I wouldn't mind any of those options." Audrina said, taking another bite of her perfect pizza then washing it down with a sip of her wine. "Tonight, I'm picking up the bill, by the way." She told him decidedly with a smile.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Sorry about that, I felt ill, had to write my essay and then 90210 came on. And then another huge roleplay post before this one -fail-

They are, I know. But my next one isn't until March, yay!

So, remember how she's taking French classes in college. He's going to apply to Princeton to be the Freshman class assistant to aid his studies and he eventually ends up taking their lessons, and he doesn't tell Elaina he's coming until he pops up in class. Maybe?

 

"Oh, I'm sorry.. I just thought.." Florentine trailed off. So she was American. How could he trade her in for an American girl who didn't even really speak French? "Well, anyway, I hope you're liking Paris. Christien's just wonderful at taking care of you, I'm sure." She placed her hands on his shoulders then, and Christien shifted uncomfortably, the movement was far too seductive for his liking. He pushed her hand off but she took a hold of his then and sort of caressed it between her palms. "I've missed him terribly, you know," she said softly, "We were always such good friends and we sort of grew apart after he went to study in America."

Christien murmured something angrily to her in French, along the lines of 'stop touching me, please,' but she took no notice and instead used it to her advantage. She leaned in close to his ear, but spoke loud enough for Elaina to hear as she said, "Oh, I know darling. Times were tough without you, too. But it's okay, we can hit it right off from where we left things."

 

"Well, we'll see when it comes to that," Caden replied, sipping some of his wine and getting back to his food. He shook his head and said to her, "Hey, I asked you to come, I'm not letting you pay for it. Besides, that would be hardly the gentlemanly thing for me to do anyway."

 

[VideoStar95]

You watch 90210? Haha, that's cute. And that's alright, I went to the mall. Haha!

Yes! That's far!

So I realized that Valentine's Day is sort of close..which makes me sad.

OH MY GOSH! THAT'D BE SO ADORABLE! And everyone will have crushes on him and tell Elaina and such, and Elaina will be like "HAH, THAT'S MY FIANCE." Win.

 

Elaina was now equally furious at Christien for even involving himself for a simple moment with Florentine; as she hadn't heard what he had spoken to her in French - nor would she have had understood it anyway. Obviously, if Elaina was sober, she would have quite easily noticed Christien's warning signs against Florentine, but in her drunken state, her mind ignored all of them and skipped to conclusion. Florentine's hands on her irked her at insane levels and she gripped her glass tightly. Her smile morphed into that of a fine, tight line. "Hmm, good friends? That's certainly not what Christien's told me about you. And I don't appreciate you feeling up my boyfriend."

 

"Oh, no, I insist. Please, please, let me pay for at least this one!" Audrina said, nibbling on her food as well. "I won't think of you any less gentlemanly if you do. I promise."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Cute? Why? xD I love it <3 Oh, nice. Alright for those of us still off school!

Yeah, so it's all good

Because you're alone like me? Yeah, I know what you mean ):

I know, right? Like, every girl would be swooning and the next minute they'd be all OOO: when they see Elaina with Christien. And her surprise would be so adorable. It just popped into my head and I thought it'd be cool.

 

Christien pushed Florentine's hands away hastily and forcefully, looking more frustrated by the minute. He looked up at her and gave her a look that said, "What the f*ck do you think you're doing?" She knew that look, actually, and backed off for a moment, though retracting her hands by running her hands over his chest before bringing them back to her side. She looked at Elaina questioningly at what she'd said. "Oh, he did? And what, exactly, did he tell you about me?" She was asking as if she had no idea what it could be, because she really didn't think that Christien would have shared the story with her. As for feeling up Christien, she said, with a sickly innocent expression and tone, "Oh, forgive me, dear, I'm sorry." As if that really cut it for what she was doing.

 

Caden didn't really want her to pay, but she was so insistent that eventually he said, "Okay, this time. But next time I'll pay, no questions asked, okay?" He smiled and told her, "I have a condition, but it's got to be spontaneous so I can't tell you, but I know you'll agree to it."

 

[VideoStar95]

I don't know I just didn't figure you watched 90210 or that they even had it where you are. Haha!

And yes, because I'm alone. BUT NOT FOR LONG! I refuse. There's this cut-tie named Justin that I will get. ;D

Yes! Oh my goodness. That is perfect. Now I'm excited for her to go to America! Which is in a week, yes?

 

"I honestly think you know, Florentine." Elaina's calm face was clearly having trouble staying, as she was becoming more irked by the minute. Florentine's slimy little expression was driving her wild. And because she was so focused on Florentine and struggling not to murder her; she certainly had not noticed Christien's extreme warning look - therefore still was angry with him and his interactions with Florentine. "And no, I don't forgive you; I'd appreciate it if you left us alone." Her thoughts had been fully processed yet the alcohol made her words a bit slurred, therefore her warning less intimidating.

 

Audrina grinned triumphantly while fishing out her credit-card. "Okay, no questions asked next time. And alright, I agree to your mysterious condition."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Fair enough. Yeah, at first I thought it was pretty boring, but it got so much better, especially last series =D

I've heard that before. But you said you're too shy! Good luck though

Yeah, pretty much, I think. It'll be so amazing!

I love this as well though, it's pretty funny. And, oh, it's simmering down for now, but Florentine's just warming up xD

 

Florentine eyed Christien in surprise. She didn't think he'd tell someone about it, and she wondered how much of it he'd told. In regards to that question, Christien hadn't told Elaina everything about why they had broken up, because it was too painful for him to speak about. With all the bitterness coming from Christien and his girlfriend, she dropped her smile and said to him, "Aw, how sweet, you've confided in your girlfriend about me cheating on you. But, oh, Christien, don't you see why I did it? You just weren't enough for me anymore. And the same thing will happen again with.. her," she nodded towards Elaina, the last word said with particular distaste. "Somewhere along the line she's going to want what I wanted, and you won't be ready just like before, and she'll leave you," she sneered at him.

Christien shifted uncomfortably in his seat, and being reminded again of everything she'd wanted and done to try and get it came back to him and his throat closed up a little. Eventually, he cleared it and he stood up to face her, so that he looked more intimidating than he felt. He hadn't wanted it to be like this, he wished she'd just left while things were still civil. "I'm sorry I wasn't ever enough for you. But, if you must know, and I know you're not going to want to hear this, but Elaina already has from me what you wanted, and she didn't have to ask for it. And do you know why? Because I love her, and nothing-- not even you, and your spineless schemes to try and take me back-- is going to change that. Get out of my sight before I do something noone is going to like." Christien had never lost his temper, and the last thing he wanted to do was make a scene, or give Florentine the satisfaction.

She looked shocked at his outburst-- he'd never been like this before with her, not even after all the times she'd pressured him for the most awful things. And she didn't understand it, either. Why did he love Elaina so much that she didn't have to ask him for sex, while she'd tried everything-- and literally everything, which was the part that Christien had been hurt by the most-- to get something from him? She turned away from him, drink in hand back to a seat at the far end of this room. She wondered what she could do now to make both of them miserable. She'd observed that Elaina was getting decidedly tipsy by now-- what a lightweight-- and she wondered how she might use that to her advantage.

 

Caden pushed his plate aside and finished off his glass of wine with a smile. "Okay, it's a deal, then," he said. He chuckled when she agreed to his condition. "You're brave. You don't know what it is. But that's okay, I promise that you'll like it because it won't happen without your consent anyway. Nearer the time, I'll tell you." The waitress took their plates and glasses, then gave the credit card reader to Audrina so she could pay, and when that was done, Caden sighed with relaxation. "So," he said, "If you like, I can take you on a walk back to the hotel that's longer than the way here, to see a few more things. And, well, since we didn't have dessert we could get an ice cream or something. I mean, I'm not in any rush to go home."

 

[VideoStar95]

I watched the Hills before it ended. Which was sad for me because I only got into it during the last season. Fail xD

Meh. I've convinced myself that I HAVE to. The other one was more difficult because he's a senior. Justin's a sophomore.

I'm looking forward to it!

And haha, this is especially funny because Elaina's wasted..

AH-HA! IT WAS SEX. Makes sense...not really..it's horrible..but you know what I mean.

 

Elaina was like a deer caught in the headlights with wide eyes and a vacant stare while Christien and Florentine argued; or well, really just threw painful words at each other. Remarkably, even with all of the alcohol that she had consumed in the last five minutes, her brain could still process most of what was being said. So, Florentine had cheated on Christien because he wouldn't have sex with her. At least, that's what she got out of it - not really knowing if she was really just in a drunken slobber and imagining all of this. She could very possibly be passed out in their hotel room, face in the pillows, having an alcohol created nightmare. Yes, that must have been it. A dream. A nightmare. Elaina was throughly convinced that she was asleep. Why the hxll did Elaina's sub-conscious have to envision Florentine so pretty? It was unsettling. Dream Florentine had luckily walked away now - strutted away like she was Mrs. Thing - and appeared to be mischievously plotting something very evil in the corner of the bar. She slid her dim hazel eyes over to Dream Christien, noting the obvious frustration and anger painting his immensely handsome face. "It's okay, baby. It's just a dream. When I wake up, it'll just be me and you again." She told him with a grin, running her fingers somewhat gracefully through his locks. Even though this was a dream, she still didn't enjoy seeing her love so distraught. "If Dream Florentine is anything like Real Florentine, then she's one hxll of a bxtch." She said matter-of-factly, taking another sip of her nearly gone drink. "Did you really not have sex with her?"

 

-I had to go, I'll write Caden/Audrina's later!-

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I didn't really like The Hills for some reason.

Ah, okay. Well, go for it and I hope something good comes from it

Haha, yeah. This whole dream thing cracked me up. Christien's like, "WTF are you on about?"

Yeah. At first I was like, 'this is what it's over? Sounds a bit pathetic now that I've written it' but actually it's a pretty awful thing that she did. They broke up over a lot of things, but that was one of the main reasons she'd cheated on him. She also did it just because she's just a silly little b'tch and had no idea how lucky she was and probably could have done it without provocation.

 

Christien watched Florentine walk away for a moment, inside still seething at what she'd been doing, and everything she had done before. It was amazing how the memories he'd done so well to cover up and push aside for so long could be brought back so easily like that and they made him so upset, as though he'd just found out for the first time again. He sighed heavily, letting out all of his breath and felt himself calm down again. He turned to Elaina and tried his best to smile for her sake. When she spoke to him, at first he looked a little bit confused by what she'd said, and he began with, "What are you.." before cutting off as he realised what was going on. "Elaina," he said, "I really wish I could tell you all this is a horrible nightmare and soon you and I will wake up and everything will be alright. But you're here, and you're drunk, and it's all real, Florentine included." Despite everything he had to smile-- for real this time-- at her tipsy state, and he even purred a little bit in contentment when she ran her fingers through his hair. At her question, he nodded and told her, "Yeah. She wanted to, but I wasn't ready. I didn't feel like I was enough in love with her. She told me I was stupid, because if I loved her even a little bit, that was fine. But I really didn't want to then, and she pushed me in all kinds of ways-- ways worse than you can imagine-- and when she realised I wouldn't budge that's when she went to et what she wanted somewhere else." She'd had that kind of power over him; she'd taken advantage of the fact that he was quiet, difficult to anger and still ever faithful, so that he still wanted to be with her despite how she'd pressured him. That was until she'd pushed it too far. She'd been surprised when he told her he'd had enough, just like this evening whenhed told her to leave, because she didn't think he would ever pluck up the courage to object.

 

Caden pushed his plate aside and finished off his glass of wine with a smile. "Okay, it's a deal, then," he said. He chuckled when she agreed to his condition. "You're brave. You don't know what it is. But that's okay, I promise that you'll like it because it won't happen without your consent anyway. Nearer the time, I'll tell you." The waitress took their plates and glasses, then gave the credit card reader to Audrina so she could pay, and when that was done, Caden sighed with relaxation. "So," he said, "If you like, I can take you on a walk back to the hotel that's longer than the way here, to see a few more things. And, well, since we didn't have dessert we could get an ice cream or something. I mean, I'm not in any rush to go home."

 

That's alright, I copied it in so that you don't have to keep scrolling between posts to see it. See how thoughtful I am? :3

 

[VideoStar95]

90210 and The Hills are like...exactly the same? Right? Haha, I'm not really sure though. I haven't seen 90210 recently.

I will...if he ever get's his butt on Facebook.

Haha, right? I was like "Going to make Christien think Elaina's crazy...hmm..."

Oh snap. Clearly Elaina's more sexy. Because she got him to give it up in like five days of knowing him! ;D

Dude, if I ever went out with Christien I'd be TOO clingy because he's perfect! Not cheat on him. Stupid girl. xD

 

Elaina pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes in a bit of confusion that quickly morphed into an expression of amusement. "Oh, Love. Of course this is a dream. A sucky one, at that, but a dream." While speaking, she allowed her fingers to continue to play a bit in his hair - noticing that he had enjoyed her touch. "See, it's my dream; so I can tell that I'm not awake. But you're not real...so you can't tell. You know?" In her mind, Elaina was completely right; there was no possible way that she was simply 'awake and drunk' as Dream Christien had told her. Sheesh. Dreams were so silly. She let out a giggle then proceeded to talk in response to Christien's answer to her question. "No, yeah, I understand. How did she push you? You don't have to tell me if you don't want. If you don't love someone, then you shouldn't fake it." For someone extremely drunk, Elaina sure was wise. "Dream Christien, will you take me home now? I'm tired of this place. Dream Florentine is legit freaking me out." She twisted her pretty features into an odd expression while tilting her head in the direction that Dream Florentine was; not very inconspicuously trying to get Christien to glance over at her - who was currently still staring at the two of them with a murderous expression. "Man, she needs a chill pill." She commented before spontaneously leaning forward and planting a kiss on his lips. "Mhm," she made an odd purr mixed with a giggle noise before continuing, "you taste nice."

 

You are sooooo thoughtful <3

 

Audrina was eager to discover whatever Caden had in store for her but had to put those thoughts aside in order to be patient. She, instead, payed for the check and gathered her belongings and tweaking her dress so that they would be ready to leave. "Oh, ice cream sounds lovely. Honestly, I really do think I'm addicted to the stuff; especially chocolate. I'm definitely not in any rush either! And I'm always up for sight-seeing, and holding your hand, if that's alright." She grinned at him and stood up, once again tweaking her dress before heading towards the exit.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

They're about the same place but to me The Hills is just.. Way more melodramatic. And the actors and actresses in it are a tad annoying, especially those two that got married in real life and had all sorts of silly arguments.

Well, you can talk to him in person once you're back at school ;]

He did at first. Now he just thinks it's really funny, and that's good because it shows that she can make him smile at the worst of times

Yeah, pretty much. He knew with Elaina, I think, that he loved her enough, too. But he does think Elaina's more attractive as well as the fact that he loves her more.

I know, I would be, too. I'm glad I can make someone who's so easy to hate xD

 

Christien laughed a little bit, and was even more amused than he let on about her drunken state. He couldn't see a way in which he could convince her otherwise, it would only be when they woke up and she was sober and that he could tell her how real it all was that she would know. "I could tell you, but if you were dreaming then this would all be in your imagination, and really you won't be getting anything from it," he said. He still continued, though, because he felt she had the right to know exactly what had happened between him and Florentine. "Well, first it just started out as little hints, and then it became a little more straight out asking, which I was okay with because she wasn't really doing anything. But then she started trying it on with me, kissing me forcefully and putting her hands on me in ways and places I didn't like to try and seduce me. Then it was getting her friends involved with hinting, which was just kind of childish, and eventually it came to the point where I was at her house and she shut her bedroom door and pushed me so far without my consent, pulling me onto her bed and taking me shirt off and then trying to get my jeans off." He paused for a moment. "It sounds a little.. Well, I'm not quite sure how to say it.. But that a girl could have that power over me seems silly because really I should be a lot stronger than her, and normally it's the other way around; a guy starting to try and have sex with a girl and eventually taking things into his own hands. But I couldn't fight back, I just couldn't push her away." Nothing had come of the times when she'd really pushed it almost to the point of.. well, **** seemed a bit severe but technically that could be what it was, because he'd managed to get away, but that had hurt him the most, that she would do that to him.

He smiled again as she kissed him, returning it very willingly, rather enjoying it. He chuckled and said, "Thank you. So do you. But you realise you couldn't taste things if you were dreaming?" He took her hand in his and had begun to lead her out. Florentine watched for a moment before getting up and following them. "Christien?" she called out, and he ignored her. So she pulled him away by the arm and then made a show of looking lovingly at him while she took his hands, and he was trying to get away. She wanted to make it as obvious a movement as she could, and she stroked his face before giving him a full blown kiss on the lips, holding him there with a grip like a vice so that it looked like he was kissing her, too.

 

"You like chocolate ice cream the best, too? I mean, a lot of girls I know like it, but they don't love it, and I can't really understand it because I think it's just the most delicious thing," Caden replied with a smile. He stood up and this time offered her his hand instead of his arm. Somehow it felt that much more intimate, and he really liked it. He thanked the waitress as they left, and he began to lead Audrina in the opposite direction to how they'd gotten to the restaurant, walking along the bank of the Thames as he pointed out a few other sights of London, like the London Eye and St. James' Park, where they'd been the other night.

 

[VideoStar95]

Haha, the drama is just so amusing, though. xD And the guys aren't half bad looking. ;D And oh sheesh, Heidi and Spencer made me want to kill myself.

Meh, I barely see him at school though!

Oh yes. I absolutely love them as a couple! They're better than any movie couple. Haha

Haha, its a skill, I'm sure

 

Elaina had listened to the awful things Christien was telling her with an immensely upset expression, her mouth a tight line and her eyes in frustrated slits. Even though this was a dream, even imagining Christien being put through such horrible things by such a horrible woman made her skin prick and her stomach churn. She wished she could say something to make it all better, and erase the history; but she couldn't, and that made her feel even worse. In response to what he said about not being able to taste anything in a dream, she shook her head a bit. "I'm pretty sure that you can taste stuff in dreams, Christien! Because, why would people dream of chocolate, if they couldn't taste it. You are so silly." Her grin faded quickly when suddenly she saw Florentine's mouth plastered to Christien's...literally two feet in front of her. Her jaw dropped and she found her body made of cement as she watched Christien eagerly return the kiss; not knowing that it was all Florentine's doing to make it seem as if Christien was. "Oh my God!" She eventually was able to exclaim - her confusion more than anything not allowing her to move. Ten seconds ago, Christien -or Dream Christien- had been spilling his heart to her, mostly about how much he hated what Florentine had did to him. And now his lips were attacking hers. And it made Elaina sick...so sick that she could feel the continents of her stomach easing up her throat. "Oh no." She slapped her hand over her mouth and took off towards the bathroom.

 

"You love chocolate ice-cream too? Oh my Gosh! It's meant to be." Audrina purred, wide-eyed as she took in what everything he was showing her. Like Caden, she really liked the feel of her fingers intertwined with his. It was a tad less cold than yesterday, more of a comfortable chill now; which pleased Audrina a lot.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, fair enough, if you like that sort of thing. Aha, Heidi and Spencer, that's them!

Oh, really? That's a shame ):

Oh, definitely. More perfect for each other than any move couple.

 

Christien kept trying to push Florentine away, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Elaina run in the direction of the bathroom. His increasing anger eventually meant that he mustered up the strength to push Florentine out of the way. She even gasped and made a noise when he did, because he pushed hard enough that she was sent quite far backwards, and was only just able to keep herself from falling over onto her backside. Christien's hands were shaking with anger, confusion and despair; the kiss would have been awful enough if he was still single, but now Elaina was with him and she'd seen it and thought the worst of it. His emotions were so strong that there was maybe even a hint of tears stinging his own eyes. 'Why would you do this?" he said to Florentine, "Haven't you hurt me enough already? Leave me alone, and if I never see you again in my life, it would still be far too soon." Florentine had opened her mouth to speak, but he cut her off and exclaimed, "Go. You shouldn't be here." He then went to wait outside the bathroom, pinching the bridge of his nose between his fingers, trying to numb the headache that he was beginning to get as a result of everything. He was just do d'nm angry, he didn't know why Florentine would even think to go as far as do this to him."

 

"Well, maybe so," Caden chuckled. He continued to lead her along until he finally spotted a place to get ice cream. "As if I need to ask what you're having," he said as he bought some chocolate ice cream for the two of them, handing her one before eating some of his own. He took her hand with his free one again and ate between conversation about various things, particularly about how good the ice cream was.

 

[VideoStar95]

Yeah. They are awful! Heidi had, like, twenty plastic surgery jobs.

Right? I wish I had classes with him.

Yes. Yes. There should be a movie made about them! Haha

 

Elaina was leaning over the corner of the toilet, making some awful, animalistic noises as her previous lunch and drinks came back out in the most uncomfortable way. A few French girls in skimpy mini-dresses past her open stall and all "eew"'d. Which certainly did not make her feel any better about the whole situation. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and hurried over to the sink. She scrubbed her hands in the sink with about a gallon of soap and rinsed out her mouth ten times with water. The Christien and Florentine scene continued to play in her mind like a broken-record; each time increasing the anger that was building up inside her chest. She headed out of the bathroom and came face to face with the man she was currently furious with. Unfortunately, the alcohol leaving her system had sobered her up and she now realized that no, this certainly was not a dream - meaning that her real-life boyfriend had just made-out with his real-life ex-girlfriend who had cheated on him. "Don't talk to me. Christien." She told him, proceeding to walk around him furiously and head towards the exit. She could get back to the hotel, herself; she didn't need him. Ugh. She knew he would have some sort of explanation, but, at the moment - with the alcohol still somewhat traveling through her veins - she didn't want it.

 

"Alright, this is delicious." Audrina said before licking around the cone that Caden had bought her in order to prevent any of the chocolate ice-cream from dripping on her designer dress. "So," she began, smiling at him, "what are your parents like?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Yeah, and she looked so much better before it all.

Can't you talk to him at lunch or anything?

Haha, that's would be cute. But them surviving the plane crash might be a little bit unbelievable. But, then, they made Knight and Day and that was about as far fetched as rom com action movies get xD

 

"Elaina.." Christien called out to her hoarsely, his throat clogged up from the tears and the lump that was forming in it. He followed behind her as she walked out; he wouldn't try explaining things there in the bar, it was far too noisy and he could barely think straight. She was still ignoring him as they went outside, he could tell that much. He had to think hard to get his brain to function enough to speak to her in English, which only made his headache worse, but that was hardly important. "Elaina, I didn't kiss her. She kissed me and I was trying to get her away, but I couldn't. I know you won't believe me straight away, but you have to try. Would I do this to you?"

 

"Good, I'm glad you're enjoying it," Caden replied with a smile. Her question about his parents caught him somewhat off guard, but he didn't mind her asking. He said to her, "Well, the first thing you should probably know is that my mother died when I was about thirteen. But in all the time I knew her, she was always a wonderful Mum, she looked after me and my Dad no matter what, and she loved me a lot. I still see her everyday, because we have the same eyes, and they make me think of her, she was very beautiful. My Dad.. He's quiet on the surface, but he's a great guy. We've always been close, but especially after Mum passed away, and he was also the one who encouraged me to get into music. He'd like you, I think." He paused before asking her, "And what about yours?"

 

[VideoStar95]

I know! It was so sad. I'm against that much plastic surgery...but I WILL get a nose-job when I'm eighteen.

I don't think he has my lunch!

I loved Knight and Day! It was adorable! And hmm, they could change the plane crash into...I dunno, something else!

 

Elaina, barely hearing what he was saying to her, whipped around on her heels and poked him rather forcefully in the chest. "I said, don't talk to me, Christien! Ugh." She spun back and proceeded to hail a cab, slipping into the back and loudly telling the driver the hotel's name and to step on it. Which, obviously he wouldn't understand since she yelled it at him in English - but he obviously got the gist of her tone and quickly took off. Sure, Elaina felt a twinge of guilt for leaving Christien alone at some random bar; but the still image of his lips against hers forced her to do it. God, the headache that was bouncing off the walls of her brain was just as bad as the emotional pain she was in. Finally, they arrived at the hotel and Elaina scurried out of the car, throwing some money at the driver before leaving. She figured that she had over-payed but quite honestly, it didn't matter at the moment. She took the room-key out of its spot in her bra and shoved it in the door. "Ugh!" She proclaimed before falling face-first into the bunch of pillows at the top of the bed.

 

The corner of Audrina's rosy lips tugged down a bit at his mention of his mother dying when he was so young; feeling guilty for asking him - but then again, how could she have known? He seemed alright with the memory though, so she felt a tad better about it. "She sounds like she was...very lovely. Mon père and ma mère were divorced when I was sixteen, unfortunately, but it really was just them growing apart - which is better than...well, what it could have been over. My father is very outgoing and adventurous, always wanting to take me skiing, bungee jumping, sky-diving, or some other crazy activity. While, my mother is someone I can tell anything to and have good times with, whether we're out to dinner, or home watching a movie with hot-chocolate." She took another lick of her ice-cream and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

What's wrong with your nose? :/

How does that work? We all have lunch at 1pm.

I thought Cameron Diaz was pretty good but I wanted to punch Tom Cruise. It was watchable, but.. Ehh, I dunno.

Christien watched as the cab pulled away. Great. So, in the evening's events, his father had treated them both horrendously at dinner, and now Florentine had showed up and ruined the perfect relationship between himself and Elaina, as thought she hadn't done enough to hurt him already. He sighed and just walked from the bar to the hotel, which took about a half an hour, giving his head time to stop spinning and aching, and to calm down after everything. He knew Elaina wouldn't be in any hurry to see him, and so he didn't see the point in arriving soon. Yes, he needed to tell her he was sorry, even though it wasn't his fault, but she needed to cool down, too, before she would hear him out. He eventually arrived outside the room and realised she had the key card. He hesitated before knocking on the door, not really sure if she'd answer it or not.

Audrina needn't have felt guilty for asking about his parents; she wasn't to know, nor did he feel too awful about it. He was twenty one, and it was a long time ago, and he remembered how wonderful his time with her had been, rather than the fact that she had been taken away from him much too soon. "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. It's never a nice thing, really," he said about her parents being divorced. "But at least you get along with them both. I mean, a lot of people whose parents divorce.. well, sometimes they feel preference to one parent over the other, if you know what I mean. They both sound very nice, though." He ate some more of his ice cream, and then asked her, "So, tell me, how did you get into modelling?"
