"Seb, where exactly are we going?" She looked at the fresh faced German. She could only imagine how knackered she must look next to him.
"You'll see." He grinned and passed her a helmet. "Put this on and we'll go."
"On that?" She eyed the red Vespa warily. "Its still dark."
"Dont worry, the light works." He adjusted the strap under his chin and looked at the tired face of his girlfriend. "What time did you get to sleep?"
"Just after one." She yawned. "I was busy dealing with retirement rumours as well as giving the press what they wanted from yesterday." She put the helmet on her head.
"Theres no way you will be working so late when we're in Monaco. I won't let it happen." He stepped forward and fastened the chin strap for her. "How does that feel?"
"It's fine." She smiled as he planted a kiss on her lips before he got on to the Vespa and started the engine. He kicked the stand back out of the way.
"Come on, hop hop!" He clapped his hands causing Chloe to arch a brow at him. She climbed on behind him and held on to his sides as he maneuvered the classic scooter out of the carpark of the Hotel Arts in Barcelona. She couldn't help but smile as he weaved amongst the traffic. The road was surprisingly busy for 5.50am. As they navigated their way through the streets she still had no idea where they were going or why Seb wanted to take her on a date so early in the morning, but she had to admit she was enjoying their little ride out. Now they'd left the busy main road behind everywhere seemed much quieter as they passed cafe after cafe and lots of little shops. It felt like a different place entirely to what it would be like in just a few hours and it felt as though they were the only two people in this city. The lit up empty streets kind of looked romantic to her, was that why Seb wanted to come out so early? After a while they started to go up hill a little before getting onto a one way street until they'd got as far as they could and Seb stopped the Vespa by the side of a kerb. "Just a few minutes on foot, ok?" He waited for her to climb off before he put the Vespa on its stand and got off himself. They both removed their helmets and he stored them under the seat.
"Are we supposed to be around here? Theres literally no one about." She took hold of his hand as they began walking. It was virtually silent apart from the sound of the odd car nearby and the street was lined with parked cars. A cat ran out in front of them, making her jump and Seb laughed.
"Yeah, it's fine. I chose this time of day because I knew it would be quiet." He squeezed her hand. She saw a sign marked 'Turó de la Rovira' but was still none the wiser. The only thing she knew for sure was that it was a steep incline up as they walked. Seb was almost dragging her, he wasn't even getting out of breath while she could feel the burn in the backs of her legs and was starting to breath more heavily. "Keep up!" He chuckled and tugged on her hand.
"Excuse me, you've had years of physical training whereas I haven't." She pointed out.
"I'll have to work on building up your fitness then liebe." He grinned. "Luckily for you I know an excellent way to do it."
"I'm not going to start running with you and Antti." She shook her head.
"For what I'd have in mind you wouldn't even need to leave the house, or my bed." He looked at her. "Just think how fit you could get by riding me."
"Sex fiend." She giggled.
"Says the woman who accosted me in my gym on Monday. And Tuesday."
"I didn't hear you complain, not once." She replied as they finally reached the top. She stopped dead in her tracks and Seb heard her breath catch in the throat as she took in the view before her. There in front of her was Barcelona with every square section separated by lit up streets giving it an almost patchwork look that swept almost as far as she could see. "It's so beautiful." She whispered and turned to look at him. The lights of the city were reflected in his eyes and she thought it made him look even more gorgeous than he already was.
