Natasha POV.

When I do open my eyes, I see the most beautiful view.


"Wow!" I exclaimed.

"This is the Kew Gardens," he says. "officially called the Royal Botanic Gardens"

"It's beautiful. But why did you show me this place?" I asked.

"A beautiful lady deserves only the most beautiful." He said tucking a strand of hair behind my ears.

Sensing the awkwardness of the situation my stomach grumbled.

"You skipped breakfast?" He asks.

"Yep. I guess the excitement got to me a little." I reply sheepishly.

"Ok let's go for brunch." He announced. "To my cafe, sir"

"Your cafe?" I ask.

"It's not owned by me but I go to that cafe nearly every day. They make the best brunch ever." He says his eyes radiant.

"Let me decide on that," I say grinning and stare out the window.

I can't believe my cheek still burnt from the small brushing of his hand. And the way his eyes looked at me as if I was the only person that mattered to him. OH god, what was happening to me.

"Here we are." He said.

"Kipferl Cafe & Kitchen." I read. It looked warm and inviting.

As we enter we sit down and place our orders. So what we did is, Massimo ordered the lunch and I got us dessert.

"So did you enjoyed your tour?" Massimo asks as we wait for our lunch.

"It was wonderful. I've always wanted to come to London and now I'm here. It still feels like a dream." I state. "Though I wish I Lorenzo was here."

"Lorenzo is busy most of the time. Since his business is the most demanding business it surprising he has time for you." Massimo says.

"Well, it just shows how important and special I am then," I said not wanting to give anything away.

"What do you see when you look at him?" He asked.

"Well..besides eyes...." I start.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Excuse me," I say digging through my purse.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey. It's me." Lorenzo says from the other side.

"Oh hey, hun. How was the conference?" I ask looking at Massimo and telling him to give me one second as I walk outside.

"It was great. Where are you?" He asks his voice demanding me to answer.

"We are at Kipferl Cafe & Kitchen," I say looking around for any grab and run people.

"What time will you get home?" He wonders a little agitated.

"In an hour or two," I reply.

"In one hour you must be at the house. There is something very important for us to talk about." He says before cutting the line.

Did he just hang up on me?ย 

I walk back inside and our lunch is on the table.

A bowl of chicken quinoa salad.

"This looks good," I said.

"It tastes better," Massimo exclaims.

I put my phone in my bag and what Lorenzo said at the back of my mind.

What is so important right now?
What could he have possibly done?
What if his mom found out that I was not his girlfriend but his PA?

"Hey, are you there?" Massimo's voice came back to life.

"Sorry lost in my own world. What was that?" I smile.

"I was asking how is the salad." He says.

"My taste buds are having a party of their own," I reply.

Soon we have finished eating and our dessert is placed in front of us.

"This is pure glee," I said digging in. We each have one. Massimo starts laughing.

"What so funny?" I ask.

"You have ice cream on your nose," he says them whipped out his phone and snap the ugliest picture of me. He just stares at it and bursts into laughter.

I take my index, scoop some ice cream on it and plant it off his nose taking a picture of his shocked face.

"Let's take a nose ice cream picture," he suggests so I scout next to him and we snap a selfie. Everyone was looking at us as a weirdo but I didn't care. I was having the most fun I had had in a long time.

"That's a keeper," I say taking his phone and airdropping the photo to my phone.

"You're crazy," Massimo says shaking his head.

"Let's get crazier. Lick the ice cream off your nose with your tongue." I say and stick out my tongue.

"Nope. I have a reputation to uphold." Massimo says grinning.

"You? Reputation? Never!" I said giggling. Then I wiped the ice cream off my nose before it dried. "I think we can visit some other place. We have about an hour or two."

"Great," he says getting up signaling the waiter, paying him and walking with me to the car.

"Where to now?" I asked.

"Have you ever been to an amusement park?" he asked.

A big grin spread onto my face.

"Off to Drayton Manor Theme Park please." He said to the driver.

In less then thirty minutes we were there. There we so many people.

"First ride, Shockwave," Massimo says dragging me.

"Is that a roller coaster?" I asked but I got my answer. It was. "Wait."

I stopped and read the information on the ride.

" Originally called the '7up Shockwave', Shockwave is Europe's first Intamin stand-up roller coaster and is still only one of two in Europe. This exhilarating, white-knuckle ride opened in 1994 and is the only stand-up roller coaster with a zero-gravity roll. Shockwave was voted 'Best stand up roller coaster in the world,' and we're sure you'll agree once you've ridden this thrilling ride! Still a firm favorite with thrill-seekers visiting Drayton Manor Park, Shockwave reaches heart-racing speeds of 53mph and delivers up to 4 g. The ultimate ride for speed-demons and adrenaline junkies, Shockwave powers you through twisting corkscrews, loops and bends โ€“ so brace yourself and wait for the green light to experience the ride of your life!"

"Zero gravity. And you expect me to go there and actually do this. " I said.

"What's the harm?" He asked. "I've done this since I was tall enough to ride every year."

"But if something happens you have a lot of explaining to do," I said.

And as we waited in line I wondered if this was a good idea.

It's never late to turn back.

But as the line got shorter the more I tried to steady my already beating heart.

"Hey, it ok. We can just step out of line." Massimo said looking at me with a worried face.

"It's ok we have gotten this far," I said.

But I only wanted to change my mind when the seatbelt was clicked on.

My mind was screaming to come off but the roller coaster was already making its way up.

At the end of the ride, I felt like I had tasted my heart, literally. It was fun and exciting but I wouldn't want to repeat it.

"Wasn't that great?" Massimo said smiling. He resembled a little boy who's crush kissed him on the cheek.

"Yes, it was but not enough to repeat it," I said smiling.

"You were very brave out there." He said grinning.

I just elbowed him in the stomach grinning and went to find our next ride leaving him behind laughing.

"Let try Stormforce 10," I said looking at the short line.

"You are not backing out from this one," Massimo said and quickly climbed onto the boat. They had 17 boats with 8 people seated.

"What's the worse that can happen?" I said.

The ride supervisor came and started talking to us, "The journey begins with a drop that sends you into the heart of Stormforce 10. Hold on as you weather the storm and face another plunge, which you experience backward, before finally reaching the last peak, ready for the third stomach-churning drop. Enjoy the ride." Then he pushed the green button.

That's what Massimo meant.

"Are you ready?" He said.

"No! Is it too late to back out?" I feared.

"Yep! Here we GOOOOO!" He said as the boat dropped sending all passengers screaming.

So in the end, we were drenched, luckily it was a warm afternoon, however, I still crossed my hand over my chest cause my white shirt was now see-through and even though my white it still felt very inappropriate. But then I remember that I brought a scarf and a jersey so I wrapped them around my wet clothes.

"I think we should go home cause if I walk around wet like this I will surely fall sick," I said.

Massimo agreed cause he himself was wet from head to toe. His curly black hair just got curlier sitting like a bird's nest on top of his head.

The ride home was fun. We pulled funny faces, snapped selfies like normal people.

With Massimo, I was myself. I wasn't shouting at him and he didn't try to make me angry. He wasn't telling me what to do. We just clicked.

As I snuggled closer to him because it was getting colder. I think.....

But was love suppose to come that easy? Weren't there supposed to be some ups and downs?

But it's your first time to spend time with Massimo let's wait a bit.

I agreed with myself, who knew what the future holds. With that I allowed my eyes to shut.
