Until we meet again...

Chapter 7

Venice, that was his destination for the summer vacation of the year after. Venice, however, is an astonishing city. It is rated as one of the most romantic cities around the world. Unfortunately, Ethan was going alone. He needed a time off, away from all the stress of work. He needed a time to clear his mind, to have a new outlook, and to start fresh. Since he was Ethan, he never needed a girl to be happy. Although, he would always make his girl happy.

         The D-day, he had already packed his things and was ready to go. His flight was at ten thirty in the morning. Right at time, he was in the airport waiting for his plane to take off. Moments later, they climbed up. When he got to his seat, he found a young blonde girl sitting there. He rechecked to make sure it was his place before he asked:

“Excuse me, miss. I believe you’re taking my seat.”

The girl, who seemed to be in her twenties, dressed in a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, and a pair of sneakers, looked up to see the dandy, elegantly charming man. She took a moment to gaze at his beautiful figure, abstracted as she was.

“Excuse me…” He repeated, interrupting her private reflection. Soon, he added, “Um... The seat!”

“What’s with the seat?” She finally decided to say something.

“Well, I think that you’re taking my seat.” He answered, feeling awkward.

“Oh really? But it’s said here that… Oh wait, are we in the first class?” She said, stuttering.

“Yes.”

“Oh, no. I’m really sorry.” She stood up quickly.

“It’s okay, it happens.” He replied, and moved to make her a way.

As she was trying to move beyond him, her bag fell out and her things were scattered all over the place. She was embarrassed to have put herself in such situation. She looked a bit clumsy.

“I’m really sorry. I don’t know what’s happening to me today.” She said, blushing.

“Oh, never mind. Are you okay?” He asked, with his oh-so-sexy voice.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine.” She said as she was walking away, “Safe flight, sir.” She added.

“Thank you, and for you too… Be careful.” He responded.

         The flight lasted for about eight hours. When they arrived, it was already dark. From the airport, he headed to the hotel where he had made his reservation. Once there, he unpacked his luggage, took a shower, and as he was really tired from the trip, he slept immediately.

         Few hours later, the sun had risen. He woke up early, wanting to benefit from every moment of his time there, and certainly, not intending to waste it sleeping. He put his outfits on, and left to explore the city. He started his tour by getting around in a gondola, after having breakfast in one of the Venetian restaurants. The place was mind-blowing. It was artistic and picturesque by all accounts. In fact, Venice is a unique and precious repository of art, you can't help but admire the city. He was enjoying his tour on the Grand Canal, fascinated by the astounding buildings, before he ended up wandering in the narrow mews and alleys, lost in the glamorous city. As he was walking, his attention got attracted by a peerless construction. Hestopped to contemplate themasterwork. At that time, a girl was walking backwards, she was trying to take a picture of the place, before she hit him accidentally as she wasn't paying attention to where she was walking. He turned around to see who it was. He was surprised to see her face.
