'Thought'

"Dialogue"

Foreign language

Angela pov

'Why did he is here?!!  There are many cafes in Venice but why did he need to be here?  I dont know why but my instinct said that I cant shake him off'

"Buongiorno, signore.  I see that we meet again"

The man just smile and take the seat in front of me.  Ugh, there are other seats but why did he need to seat here

"Indeed.  Its pleasure to meet you again signora"  He tip his fedora 

'I wonder why did he want to sit here.  Oh well, I better busy myself with my latte and the books my seniors recommend yesterday'

Just after I take a sip and about to open my book, the man strike a conversation with me

"I see that you are not from here.  And I have seen you before in a magazine"

"Ahh, indeed I am not from here.  I am currently a college student near here and I took some job here and there along with modeling for my seniors"

"Its a bit interesting considering that you are so young to be in a college"

"Yes but since I am already too advanced among my peers, I thought to finish my education faster instead of delaying.  Then I can figure out what to do next"

Then both of us engaged in a comfortable conversation and I dont know why but the man keep trying to egging me on staying longer.  Right, I also manage to acquire his name.  The name is Reborn

'Reborn?  I dont know why but did his name the same with the Greatest Hitman, Reborn?  Maybe not'

Its nice talking with him but somehow I feel kind of awkward to stay longer with male.  Most of the time in my previous life, I spend on mission instead of myself.  I thought that maybe I want to redeem it in this second chance

"Its kinda late right now and I gotta have something in schedule.  Its nice talking to you Reborn"

"Its already that late?" Reborn at his watch

"Its nice talking to you Yucca.  I hope that we will meet again"

'No we're not meeting again'

Thank god that I gave him my alias which is Yucca Riensworth, a college student which currently I adorned

When I tried to pay for my part, Reborn already paied for me.  He just smile and said that a gentleman should care of a lady.  Gentleman my ass, why dont you pay for all the women in the cafe.  How I hope that he will leave me alone

'Humm.. what should I do for today?  Maybe staying in the library will do since I want to finish this book and spend my time in quiet place

Right after I turn to left, there is a man stalking me which from a few days ago.  If based on my memory, isnt he was the one who tried to pull my hair at the college?  Then, I throw him across my shoulder since he was annoying

Somehow he took that as a challenge and keep pestering me.  I know that I hurt his pride due to that day but he tried to hug me in the crowd of the college student.  No way am I gonna let that happen.  He even tried to corner me and declare that he will make me as his.  Of course I retaliate

'Why am I supposed to do to get that facts stick into his thick skull?'

There goes my peaceful day.  While I keep muling on this fact, I forgot that Reborn still on my side and his darken gaze

Reborn pov

'I can feel that the girl tried to get away from me.  Well, better take a step back to avoid her from running away from me.  We just establish a nice companion based on our conversation earlier'

When we get out of the cafe, I still feel reluctant to part with her but patience myself.  There are steps need to be taken before I approach her.  I wonder what is this feeling.  Is it a Sky attraction or other?

Then, there is an idiot stalking Yucca.  From her face that I can conclude that she also upset with this. Somehow I feel that the boy need to get away from her.  All my mind screaming that she is mine.  I better distract her

"Do you have anything important right now?  If not, why dont I show you around"

Yucca look flabbergasted when I took her hand.  What a soft hand with some calluses and its warm plus a hint of cold like winter.  I can practically feel her flames under her skin and my flames tried to reach her.  Not yet, I still dont know her and I dont want to chain myself to other without knowing anything which might cause me problems in the future

Once we leave from there, I asked her

"Do you that man earlier?  I can see that he is bothering you"

"Eh?  I kind of know him since he is a fellow student in the college and indeed that he kept pestering on me"

"I see"

Somehow I can feel that raging feeling and when I heard her explanation, a relief fill me.  What is this feeling?

Then, Yucca tried to take her hand of me.  But I only tighten it.  I dont know why but I dont want to release her hand.  After more tries, she gave up and just enjoy the walk with me

That day, we spend with talking with each other and visiting other places.  Yucca seems enjoy the day and somehow I feel that this is right, this scene and feeling.  Once we enjoy our day, we end it with a dinner at a restaurant.  I learn a few about her and her modeling plus her studies.  I discover that she is an excellent student where even professors come to her if there is a discussion involved which to solve some predicament

The night come and  I choose to walk her home.  Its not good to let a lady like her to walk in the middle of the night right?  

"Thank you for today.  I really enjoy it even though it is not plan"

"Its fine.  I also enjoy it.  I thought that I want to help you but end up spending the day with you"

"Yes, its already late and my home is near here.  Thank you again, bye.  Buonnanotte, Reborn"

"Bye.  Buonnanotte, Yucca"

Yucca walk and entered her apartment.  Hum.. This apartment is a comfy one where most people with money buy it.  Well, depending on her part time job as a model, its not surprising considering that all the label and the article which she modeled always sold out

That night, I contact my informant and discovered that she is a brilliant student on second year, a part time modeler and a spoke person of certain brands from her seniors.  Also, she is single

Wow, when I knew that she is single, my heart felt relief.  What is this?  I never felt like this before.  Not my past lovers.  I contemplate my feelings and find out that I feel attracted to her.  Is it due to her Sky attraction or something else?  If her Sky attraction, I can feel that she manage to control it but it still there.  Maybe I should stay with her to find out what is this feeling about and how to manage it.

'Damn it.  I am an arcobaleno.  The Strongest Sun.  We even dont know who our Sky arcobaleno is.  It do not matter that I got a Sky or not but all of us still searching for her/him.  I wonder that our Sky have elements or not.  If he/she wish to harmonize with the elements or he/she already have a full set'

'Stop thinking Reborn.  Stop hoping.  Luce already have her set when we were introduced and she do not required us since she already had her set.  If the Sky do not require us, then there is it'

'Humm...  Could it be that I want to get closer to Yucca because hoping that she will accept me as her element.  Maybe it is or maybe not.  Lets see that what will happen in the future'

A quick shower and change into pajamas, I sleep for the night after tired contemplating on what to do next regarding Yucca and our Sky arcobaleno

'Seriously Yucca Reinsworth.  What did you do to me?'
