I turn up the radio and I hear la vie en rose by Louie Armstrong. "Louie I didn't know you sang?!" I say pushing his arm lightly. "I didn't know I had such a raspy voice",he says sarcastically, "keep shoving me and I will swerve to the other side sir!"

"Sorry Louie, I was just kidding around you know" my voice fades as I turn up the radio a tad more. We reach the city, and all I see is the lights from the skyscrapers and the buildings. We park in front of Cartier store, for I need a new clè de Cartier. My father is going to throw a gala next week and I need something new to wear. There was one that caught my attention, it had blued-steel sword-shaped hands, sapphire crystal and case back, steel bracelet. I asked for it in my size and told them I would pick it up sometime this week and off I went.

"Louis let's go before mother knows I left without her to come to Cartier" I rushed to the car as he held the car door open for me. He let out a small laugh and closed the door as soon as I was in. He started the car, "Louie! Wait don't go yet, look there!" I point and there I see her, lightly tan skin with Her hair was as waves of pure earth, softly reflecting the light of the sun. "Louie, oh lou! I must have her in my room at once!" I speak without even thinking a single thought, only her.

I get off the car at once and as causally as I try to be, I walk up to her. Her dog jumps on my legs and and scratch my shorts.

"Bella NO!" She pulls on the dogs leash and immediately the dog gets off and sits.

"it's fine, it's only Dior", I say through gritted teeth.

"I am so sorry, she's very energetic", she smiles innocently and looks up at me, uncovering her beautiful brown eyes, they are the forest and the autumnal leaves, the soil in summer and after the rains.

"A-Are you here in the city alone?", I stutter over my words, embarrassed of myself, I feel my face feel hot.

"My nanny is in Tiffany's right now and they won't Bella in, because of course she is a dog, but no I'm not here alone, are you?", squatting down to fix her dogs collar.

"No, my man is in the car waiting", I say trying to figure out how can I take her home tonight.

"Oh you're gay?", she asks tilting her head.

"What?! NO, oh goodness no, I meant" I become lost at words trying not to say my fathers bodyguards that he makes them look after me day and night.

"I was kidding..."

"Oh, right, my name is Mattia"

"Such a unique name, I've never heard of it before is it Latin?" She stands up straight and crosses her right leg over her right still holding herself up.

"It's Italian, my fathers Italian, what about yourself?"

"Adela", she puts out her hand for me to shake, I take her small hand into mine and shake it softly.

She yanks my arm closer to her eyes and they widened she looks at the watch on my wrist. "Is that the time mattia?", she asks shocked.

"Yes, why?", I melted inside by the way she said my name so smoothly, it was as it was liquid gold.

"It was nice talking to you but I told my nanny that I was only going to be gone for a bit and it's been longer than that, bye!", she turns her heels and jogs over the street and into a corner.

I walked back into the car and there waiting was Louie, "did everything go alright there ol sport?", he said in such a deep tone.

"Ma is gonna be pretty mad if we don't get back in time, c'mon Louie let's go home"

He starts the car and we were in our way home for dinner. I looked outside the window and thought of all the things I'd do to her, how sweet she her skin tastes against my lips, how her hips would roll against mine, and oh how she would scream my name at night. Making sure she would feel it in her insides and when finished, holding her naked frame against me.

All these thoughts came into my mind that I completely forgot that we were already home.
