Maya's P.O.V.
I just stayed there until I realized that I was in his embrace for atleast 20 minutes. When I tried to get up, he asked me where I was going and I said I was walking back home because my mom needs me. He said he wasn't letting me leave, he won't allow me to go back to that terrible environment. "Let's go" he says, I respond with a curious tone and inquire " Where"? He responds with "Where have you always wanted to go"? I think to myself what the freak is happening, and before I knew it he said, " Florence it is..." I say "What are you talking about?" He responds gently, "You'll see..."
Cole's P.O.V.
I could have stayed there, in that moment for the rest of my life just sitting on the curb, holding her, comforting her, but then she got up. She is not about to go back to that hell hole of a house... I wish I could help her... The idea runs through my head, I have a private jet that I never use so why don't I put it to good use. I ask her where she's always wanted to go... secretly hoping it's someplace romantic... and it was... Florence, Italy. She asks me what is going on and I just reassure her, "You'll see..." She hesitantly gets in the car, with a suspicious look on her beautiful face and says "When will I find out what we're doing?" I look at her, admiring her curious smile and just say "Now". With that we pull up at my house and we both get out of my car.
Maya's P.O.V.
We pull up to this huge building and get out of the car, he holds out his hand, waiting for mine in return, so I reach out and hold his hand. He can probably feel my pulse racing, he looks at me, doesn't say anything and just starts walking towards the building. Reaching into his pocket I hear the rattling of keys, "What are you looking for" I inquire,
he responds "My keys".
My eyes widen as I hear his response dropping my hand from his in shock, "This is your house"? I say in surprise.
He stops digging for his keys and just says "Yes, yes it is".
I run my hand through my hair and bite my lip worriedly, he grabs my hand, pulls it from my hair and replaces it with his and gently brushes my hair behind my ear, using the other hand to tilt my chin up with two fingers. My eyes reach his and I explore his eyes with mine, noticing his were a unique mixture of green and light brown, like no other I've ever seen before.
He leans forward, so close I can almost feel his breath on my skin and says "We're going to be late".
