Winter Hearts

No Going Back

Siana looked over at Min in the taxi, a mischievous glint in her eye.

"So. What was Minjani doing at the boys' hotel so bright and early, hmm?"

Minjani rolled her eyes at Siana.

"Unlike SOME people, Minjani was cordially invited to a Vixx breakfast and she accepted graciously."

"A Vixx breakfast? Sounds naughty," Siana smiled as she looked out the window.

"Unlike SOME people, Minjani didn't even think that at all," Minjani smiled as she looked out her window too.

Siana turned to look at her through narrowed eyes for a moment. Then she smiled.

"So what is a Vixx breakfast like?"

Minjani gasped dramatically and twisted in her seat to look at Siana in shock.

"As if you haven't had a Vixx breakfast, MISSY!" she hissed, surprising Siana and making her gasp and then laugh out loud.

They cackled together as the driver gave them a glance in the rearview mirror. They made a quick journey to the Acropolis through one of the wider streets outside the bounds of Plaka, which took them directly to a large gate at which they would get tickets and walk through towards the large steps that lead up the face of the steep approach to the entry proper, at the mouth of the Acropolis grounds.

"We're here, girls," the driver said in Greek. Siana paid and thanked him as they giggled their way out of the car.

The wide road was cobbled with large marble stones, as flat and worn as could be. Ahead to their right was the ticketing booth, and behind to their left, a bar cafe which had an outdoor seating area heated with standing warmers, as the shop stood in the shadows and was still cold from the morning chill.

They looked at each other and agreed voicelessly: coffee. They turned arm in arm, and sauntered down towards the cafe.

As they sat, Siana gestured to a waiter, indicating two lattes by mouthing her order at him. He nodded and went to make the order as they settled into some banquettes lining the perimeter of the shop's bounds, which were beginning to see some sun.

"Aaah," Min sat, her body still in the shade but her head in the bright sun which was already creeping up over the top of the building. She turned her face to the sun and let its warmth heat her skin. Siana cuddled into her jacket, as she was sitting in the shade, facing Min.

"It's a funny feeling, having my legs be shivering while my face is warm," Min mumbled, making Siana laugh again.

"Why does everything you say sound dirty?" She smiled into the collar of her jacket, enjoying the cold as she snuggled.

Min looked down at her with a patronising smile.

"The real question is why every innocent thing I say sounds dirty to you, Siana," she said haughtily, making Siana giggle and squeeze her eyes shut. Min tutted, shaking her head and facing the sun again.

"You know what they say about dirty minds..."

"What?" Siana leaned back in her seat.

"Takes one to know one." Min peeked at Siana and smiled. Siana nodded sagely.

"This is why we should get married."

"You know what they say about-"

"Okay, stop!" Siana groaned and sat up as the coffees arrived, and watched Min make eyes at the handsome waiter. As he left, Min turned to coo at her.

"You just keep reigniting this fire between us, baby."

Siana chuckled as the waiter did a double take before leaving.
