Elli stood frozen on the spot and thought about skating with Roberto. Many thoughts ran through her mind. She felt a little worried about it all. Elli knew she couldn't let Roberto realize her concerns. Elli was brought back to reality as she noticed her feet are no longer on the ground. Elli looked up and realized she was now being held in Roberto's strong arms. She was being carried in a bridal hold as he made his way to the Villa.

"You seemed to be in another world. So I thought we would get back inside the Villa faster this way." He looks down to meet her gaze as he lovingly holds her in his arms, a smile lit up his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You can put me down; I won't space out again" Elli felt slightly embarrassed at the thought of his having seen her like that. A light red tinge spread across her face. "Nope, not gonna happen. I'm taking you back to my room."

She heard those words, and her eyes immediately widened. She looked up and could see a fiery passion burned in his eyes as he carried her off to his room. Her face now stained a bright rosy red as she knew there was no point resisting when he got that look in his eyes.

She relaxed in his hold, and Elli put her arms around his neck as she rested her head against his chest. A smile formed on her lips and she knew he was getting excited from the fact his heart was beating at a fast rate.

They continued their way back into the Villa. He tightened his grip on her as he walked and made sure she felt safe in his arms.

Alberto ran over to them as he saw them step back inside. He was ready to give a scolding for being out so late. The butler approached them at a fast rate before he noticed Elli in Roberto's arms and the look in his eyes as he held her.

Alberto stopped and immediately thought better of it. He backed off-instead, gracefully bowed his head and wished them a goodnight.

Once they arrived at his bedroom, Roberto gently laid Elli down on his bed. Then without warning, he brought himself to lay on top of her, his body now against hers. Passion filled his eyes as he looks at her. "I have been waiting so long for us to be alone like this again. Too long." Gently, he traced the outlines of her jaw with his fingers as he dotted small kisses all over her face.

Her body gently shook at his touch. She felt herself gradually getting hotter as he kissed her. Feeling alight and enflamed with her love for him as they continued. His lips found their way to hers and he kissed her with sweet gentle kisses. Thoroughly enjoying the moment, Elli felt like she could melt under the heat of his intense kisses.

Soon, those sweet kisses deepened into something more intimate. He kept one hand on her face as they kissed and he used his free hand to explore her body. Slowly, he started to undress her when everything went quiet. "R-Roberto...?" Elli was stunned when Robero suddenly collapsed on to her, unmoving. Elli laid there,

half-dressed, as his body completely weighed her down. She was unable to move.

Elli slightly shook his body but received no response. Suddenly, she heard soft snores coming from him. "Did he fall asleep?" She let out a soft sigh. A smile formed on her lips as she looked fondly at him, and she thought of just how hard he must have worked and how exhausted he must feel. "Hehe, I will let him sleep. He looks so adorable and helpless like this."

Elli began to gently pat his head as he laid on top of her, then moved to kiss his cheek before she attempted to carefully roll him off of her as his weight was crushing. Bit by bit, she was finally free of his weight and made sure not to wake him in the process.

Elli then moved to cuddle up against him; gently, she started caressing his face in a loving way. He seemed to respond to her touch as he wrapped his arms around her in his sleep.

She felt content in his warm embrace and she too, started to drift off. "Goodnight, my dear Roberto. Sweet dreams." she whispered and gave him one final kiss before her consciousness faded.

A few hours passed when Roberto started to stir in his sleep. Slowly, his eyelids flickered open. Roberto looked to his side and saw Elli was sleeping soundly, and she snuggled up against him.

A smile formed on his lips as he watched over her before he sat up in bed. He stretched out his arms above his head and yawned sleepily. He then noticed Elli's half-dressed state as he looked at her more closely. He realized he had fallen asleep on her. "I'm sorry..." Slowly, he leaned down to kiss her forehead ;she responded with a soft moan but remained asleep.

"I will make it up to you, I promise." Roberto gave her one last kiss as he got off the bed and was careful not to wake her. Unable to sleep, he walked towards the balcony. Once outside, he looked up to the stars. The events from earlier that night played through his mind.

"It was a really beautiful night, though the most beautiful creature of all is resting in my room right now..." A sweet smile formed on his face as he reflected on the events.

"I really am lucky to have someone like you in my life ;it's truly a blessing."

Suddenly, the smile on his face vanished. Instead, a sigh escapes his lips. "Skating... I wonder how it will go... I hope I don't embarrass myself in front of her. Maybe I should have went with Al to get skating lessons first..."

Filled with doubt and worry, Roberto was unsure of how he would handle skating since it was his first time. He didn't want to let Elli catch on to how worried he was, otherwise she might panic. It was now very late into the night. He decided it be best if he went back inside and tried to sleep once more.

Roberto stepped back into his room, and carefully made his way back onto the bed. A smile formed on his face as he sees Elli's sweet innocent face as she slept. He leaned over and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

Bringing his arms gently around her body, Roberto held her close. Upon his touch, Elli's face softened into a smile as she slept. "I hope you are having sweet dreams about me..." He rested his head near hers and he closed his eyes. He drifted back off to sleep once more and thought about the day they would go skating together.
