She was in front of him, always with her lovely smile stuck on her pink lips, her almond eyes sparkling and her hair had just grown a little, but she was still the same.
She was still pretty, rather beautiful according to him, she had not changed, perhaps of perfume, but she still smelled as good. 

He could have admired her for hours if his brain had not brought him back to reality, since she was indeed in front of him, after all this time.
He thought he'd never see her again, so see her in front of him now.
He didn't know how to react. 

"What are you doing here ?"

"I guess cama and vini brought me here with my brother's help" She answered with a wink

"i thought you will never came back in Madrid..." He finally manages to said before hugging her hard against him, it's as if he doesn't want her to leave his arms for fear that she will escape again in this rainy country that is England.

"well im here... but only for the french fries you promise me" She joked what made the young footballer laugh who loosened his grip to let her breathe

"I can take you there now if you care so much about those french fries"

"You mean like that ? Half naked ?" She asked with a laugh as she pointed her finger at his towel around his waist.

Aurélien blushed. 

"well i was showering" 

"yeah i heard that, you should go finish your shower" 

"you right..."

He nodded before finally letting her into his apartment. 

"Make yourself at home, if you're thirsty there's water and drinks in the fridge, and the cakes are in the drawer next to the table top. the remote is here if you want to watch TV while waiting-" 

"don't worry about me, I know, it's not like this is the first time I've been to your place, I still have a little memory, you should go shower, you must be cold" She answered by cutting him while putting her hand on her arm

"be right back" He smiles kissing his cheek quickly before slipping into the shower

Primavera took off her jacket and put it on her couch, before looking around her. His apartment had not changed much, the decoration too, a few more photos, a lot of photos of him and cama together, with vinicius also sometimes... and a photo of her and him framed and placed on the coffee table of the television. His heart was pounding.

She took the frame in her hands to observe it as close as possible, she watched all the silly little details of the photo that warmed her heart.

she was so absorbed by the photo that she did not hear Aurélien's steps moving towards her

"you seem really into it" he whispered to her by her ear

Hearing her deep and low voice so close to her, her heart missed a beat but it seems that her hands too, she dropped the picture frame on the ground that broke into a few pieces on the ground

"oh my gosh-im so sorry i didn't mean to-"

"it's okay, it didn't hurt you right ?"he asked by taking his hands in his hands to check if there was no cut

she swallowed her saliva seeing him so serious in "consulting" her hands, his fingers were soft and pleasant to touch. She stared at him for a moment, Primavera would have sworn that he had become even more beautiful than before

"im sorry for the picture... I promise I'll buy you an even more beautiful frame"he let out a small laugh hearing her answer

"As long as you're not hurt, everything's fine chérie"

The young woman blushed. 

"let me clean this mess at least..." She answered by stooping down to pick up the pieces of glass that was big enough for her to take in her hand

"no it's fine i've can do it, just go sit on the couch, i dont want you to be hurt" He says, taking her hand and lifting her up so that she can stand up and he squat down to pick up the pieces of glass

"you're going to hurt you... aurel"

"as long it's not you"
