♫Let's run away from these lies
back to yesterday, safe tonight
I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked
Yeah, you got me begging, begging
Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here
I don't know♫--
Rome took off his head set when he saw her clutching her favorite book. "Hey, you."
Her eyes met his and his world went still, heart beating rapidly she never knows how much power she has over him. "Hi, there." she greeted back and met him halfway.
In the middle of their hotel room, they were standing, both in each other's arms. Athens' head perfectly placed on the crook of his shoulder, her arms around his waist. Rome gave her a kiss on the temples, always grateful for each day that they are together.
This month they are in Brazil, staying in a three star hotel to save money. Both of them grew up to a very powerful family, so they were not accustomed to an ordinary lifestyle.
But love changes you, it will bend all your rules and you are happy with it. Because it is love and that is what it's supposed to make you feel. Happy.
"How was your day?" Athens took her head from his shoulder to give him a better look.
Her blue eyes smiled at him, and just the same it gives him that fluttering feeling. He might never get used to it, it always surprises him how these little things with her makes him want to give up everything he has just to be with her, and he is giving everything up.
He grinned at her, "Took a lot of pictures today."
Rome took photos of tourists to earn money since their savings is thinning down, both of them couldn't apply for a stable job anywhere even when both of them are well educated since they move from one place to another every month, sometimes weeks depending on how fast their family can locate them.
Athens' smile grew wide. "I think you deserve a reward."
His brows shot up, "You think so?" his grin never leaving his mouth.
She nodded her head, trying to suppress a laugh.
Rome acted like he was thinking, that made Athens giggle, "hmmm.. I wonder what my reward will be."
