Runaways

A/N: I've had this idea ever since they announced the movie, I just don't think I did a good job writing, but here it is anyway lol Enjoy.

"They're going to kill us." Maine said, chuckling as if the fact that they got themselves into some deep mess is a funny joke.

Well, it was their own decision to jump into this mess so she really doesn't think much about the consequences. She shifted as she tucked herself under her boyfriend's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"So be it." RJ replied, not worrying at all as he rested his head on top of hers. "Worth it naman."

She hummed in agreement.

It was their 17th day at Italy for the shoot of their first movie. Production wasn't that much in a hurry, but still, they barely had any time off to just relax and roam around the beautiful country. For over 2 weeks, they've been shooting back and forth between Milan and Verona. Locations of their scenes in Milan were mostly in Museums such as Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology and Civica Galleria d'Arte Moderna, while the scenes in Verona focused on sites in Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. It has been a blast. Working while being able to tour the cities, but
it's always been a dream of Maine to ride a Gondola and see the city of Venice. She mentioned this little wish to her boyfriend while they were on the plane to Italy, but she said it in a very trivial manner that she never thought he'd actually do something to make it happen.

So now, here they are, enjoying a gondola ride while the gondolier serenades them with a barcarole. For the past 5 hours they've been visiting the tourists attractions in Venice, feasting on the sights and indulging their tastes buds, and to wrap it all up, a punt down one of the city's picturesque waterways in an iconic gondola.

The thing is, they never told anyone about today's trip; not Jecker, not Mama Ten, not even Direk Mike. Even though they were told that they could spend the entire day for sightseeing, they didn't notify their team that their sightseeing will be in a different city. And to make their matters worse, RJ had their phones off to make sure no one disturbs their quality time. He's completely cool about it though.

They were quiet for a while, RJ taking pics of them using her polaroid camera from time to time, enjoying each other's warm embrace, gazing at the beautiful changing color of the sky from crimson slowly turning cobalt, and listening to the soothing tenor voice of the gondolier singing an Italian folk song (they couldn't understand the song, but the gondolier's singing was more than enough for them to appreciate the music).

They both thought it was already perfect until he caught a glimpse of a couple on another gondola coming from the direction they're going. The guy's back was facing RJ almost hiding the girl, but he could see her hands snaking through the guy's broad back. When their gondolas crossed, he got a good look at what the other couple, clearly European, was doing. They were kissing, no, scratch that, they were practically making out in public. That's Westerners for you.

A mischievous smile grew on RJ's face.

"Love," He whispers to her seductively, his lips brushing her left ear.

"Yeah?" Maine looked up to him, smiling. She loves the feel of his breath on her skin.

RJ leaned in closer, their lips almost touching, and declared "You have witchcraft in your lips".

Before she could react to his statement, which she knew he stole from a Shakespearean novel, he suddenly closed the gap between them and crashed his lips to hers. The lip-lock started soft and gentle, he was even able to take a polaroid pic while they're at it, but he suddenly felt the need to taste her more. He wrapped his strong arms around her petite frame, as his tongue asked permission to enter her mouth. She was surprised for a split second, but granted his request anyway and her hands slowly roamed from his waist going to his back. Their kisses became feral as tongues wrestled for dominance.
