"Well... erm.." He mutters. I roll my eyes. If he can't give me a straight answer it's not something good.
"Spit it out."
"She's this slut I used to be involved with in Monaco. She's a little crazy and won't stop calling me. The last time I answered was to tell her I was filing a restraining order." He explains. I knew who she was, but I'm not going to tell him I was eavesdropping on his conversation.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He glances over at me and lets out a sigh.
"I don't know. It's kind of embarrassing having someone you used to hook with be obsessed with you." He shrugs. I guess that makes sense.
"I see. I get that."
*****
I feel someone poking me out of my sleep. My eyes flit open to reveal Lucius as the culprit.
I'm a very heavy sleeper so I would assume he's waking me up to tell me we have landed.
I wipe the sleep out of my eyes and stare at him. He's smiling at me.
"We're here." He softly states. I look out the window to see an airport, with mountains behind them. It's lightly snowing. I've always loved Switzerland.
I get up and grab my coat and boots. The pilot informs me a car is waiting outside. Lucius puts on a winter hat and I grin. He looks cute.
"What?" He notices me staring at him.
"You look cute with the hat on." I giggle. He smiles and shakes his head.
We grab the bags we took with us and let the driver and attendant grab our skis and other bags. We scheduled a private car to take us around with an armed driver.
You can never be to careful.
I scoot into the back seat and Lucius follows. He brushes down his suit and messes with his hair.
"Why are you still wearing your suit?" I ask. He didn't even both changing and I didn't even notice.
"I was busy messing with you." He teases. I roll my eyes and lightly laugh. He can be such a dork sometimes.
The driver speaks only German so we just had to show him where he was going from google. He nodded so I assume he understands.
We are going to Switzerland's top ski resort, Kleiner Rustikaler Berg. Id been a couple of times with my family and loved it. The best part? Every employee speaks English. I am crap at German.
The ride there is comfortably silent. The snow falls around us as the snow falls around the rustic building of Zermatt. The amazing peaks are barely visible with all the snow. Zermatt is one of the most beautiful towns in all of Switzerland.
I look down at my Ugg's. They are very ugly but I need something durable. I look over at Lucius who is looking out the window, admiring what he sees.
"Isn't it beautiful?" I gush.
"Yes, it is. The architecture is amazing." He compliments.
We ride in silence up until the resort. It's a large resort positioned on the base of the mountain. Since we are royalty, only a few people can stay with us during our stay, and we don't have to check in.
I get out and adjust my body to the freezing temperature. I quickly grab two of my bags and hurry through the sliding door.
I see a couple of men dressed all in black coming through the hotel and out the door. They help Lucius and the driver with carrying everything in.
We get one of those luggage carrier things and Lucius insists on pushing it. When I walk through the doors out of the foyer, I'm greeted by the typical Swiss architecture I love.
The roof is high and gabled with dark wood. The woodland scent floods my senses. To the left there is a huge fireplace and to the right a little coffee corner.
There is a check in bar but the men in black lead us straight to the elevator. I've been here before, but I always find the elevator out of place.
We get in and Lucius squishes both me and the men in black with the luggage cart. I'm not sure what these men are doing.
"We are alright by ourselves I think. Do we get a room key?" I ask politely. Lucius shakes his head at me, not knowing they speak English.
"Protocol to follow you. Room key here." The man of the left states in a heavy German accent. I take it from him and smile. He docent reciprocate.
We get to the very top floor and step out. There is only one door ahead of us. I swipe our key and I'm presented with the amazing chalet I know so well.
The penthouse has amazing wood floors, with a huge fireplace right in the middle. On each side there are huge windows, giving off huge views of the mountains. The ceiling are vaulted and huge, with a loft that is lead up by amazing log stairs.
"Enjoy stay." Men in black states. Lucius nods at him and they both leave. The security guards here are a little weird.
The kitchen is just how I remember it. A modern take on rustic and perfect for a long stay.
"This place is awesome!" Lucius exclaims. Hearing him use the word awesome makes me laugh.
"I've stayed here twice and it's always been my favorite." I say, walking over to where he is admiring the view. I tuck some of his hair out of his face, causing him to look at me.
Those eyes. The eyes I was so scared of at the beginning, now full of love and adoration. I'll never forget those eyes for as long as I live.
"Tomorrow, we hit the slopes!" I giggle. He laughs and kisses me. It's only been a day and I've missed his lips on mine.
We passionately kiss and sit down on the couch together. I smile at him and snuggle up on his chest.
I couldn't be happier right now.
