Just For One Day ?

Going To Italy

-"Love, is your suitcase ready ?? David yelled from the kitchen.
-I put some more clothes and my vanity case on and you can take it." I yelled back from the room.
I was very excited to go in Florence with him. Our first trip together. My first trip with this incredible and talented man. The man of my life.
I went to the kitchen where David was sitting. He had already prepared everything. I sat down and he handed me a cup of coffee.
"Thank you sweetheart" I smiled at him.
He smiled back and took my hand then he kissed it. He was such a perfect gentleman.
-"Love, you know, we're going to Florence for promoting my new album 'Pinups' which will be in the sale in three days. Then the Italian TV which is gonna interview me, asked me if I could bring my fiancée with me. So, would you be my evening guest, milady ??
-David...I don't know what to say... I'm a fan like the hundred thousand others. There are beautiful girls who want you, rich and clever. Who I am compared to them ?? I shouldn't participate to the interview. I'm just a awful and dumb girl, with no money who has a little shop and thinks she's gonna get married to David Bowie. I said angrily almost crying. I put my hands on my face and bit my tongue to avoid crying.
"Victoria Deborah George, you're the most original, sympathetic, beautiful, funny and clever girl that I've ever met. If you were like these girls that you said, I wouldn't love you as I do. You're different, you're small, the way you think and the way you are, make you a very interesting person. So, I want to show to everybody the lady with who I will get engaged  in a few."
He said gently wiped a tear away from my eyes with his thumb. He kissed my forehead.
"I love you" he whispered.

Once in the plane, everything seemed luxurious for me who was had grown in a very modest family. David grabbed my hand and we walk until our seats numbers 27 and 28 in the business class. I sat down exhausted after all we've done for finally seating in the plane. The customs, the tickets controls,the waiting time in the airport... All was long and tiring.
I looked at David who was on the next seat. He gripped the seat firmly. I hold his hand.
-"David, everything's gonna be okay. I said for comforting him.
-What if we fell in the ocean and die in excruciating pain ??" He asked very anxious.
I rolled my eyes
-Well, sharks and fishes will eat our bodies." I said sorry.
He looked sat me with terrified eyes. I giggled.
"It's a joke honey, we're gonna arrive in Florence safe and sound. Now seat belt, we're going to takeoff." I said to him strictly.

During the plane we watched some movies for distracting David who was still stressed by the the flight. Our favorite of all was A Clockwork Orange. It was my favorite movie ever I didn't know yet but it was David's too.
After the movie, I tried to sleep a little.
-"Love, love I feel that we're falling down ! David shook my arm while I tried to fell asleep. He was worse than a child.
-David, honey, listen. The plane is perfectly well and we're gonna land in Florence in less than four hours, so now try to get some sleep please.

"Florence is such a nice city, don't you think honey ??" I asked David.
He nodded.
We downed a unknown street dirty and dark. I tighten David's arm in fear.
"Are you sure is this way ??" I ask a bit scared.
Then I heard a shot and David stopped walking, stood immobile than fall on the ground. He didn't move anymore there was a lot of blood around him. I leaned back on him, trying to awake him then I looked up and see a shadow laughing then I heard another shot.

"Ladies and gentlemen we're in Florence, Italy. The weather is sweet and there's no one cloud in the sky, we hope that you spent a good time in our flight company." The flight attendant said in her microphone.
I was awake for a while when we finally arrived in Florence. I couldn't sleep anymore, this nightmare had traumatized me.
I turned my head and saw David, sleeping peacefully, he had finally found the sleep.
I watched through the window the million little cities under us.
-"'Morning love. David said yawning.
-'Morning honey. I replied gently.
-How many time still until Florence ?? He asked obviously impatient to land.
-We're arrived. I confirmed him.
-Oh great." He exclaimed.
Two hours later, we got off the plane and and saw that a taxi was waiting us.
"Mr and Mrs Bowie ?? The driver said. Here is your car. Come in, I'll drive you until your hotel."
David seemed enthusiastic while I felt a bit surprised. I would have sworn I heard this voice somewhere... In my nightmare...
