Chapter 10
Nina's POV
Once I had wiped the mascara off my face, Mrs. Rutter and I returned to the table. The food had already arrived but, Fabian was waiting for me to start eating.
"How do I look?" I asked Fabian as we sat down.
"As beautiful as ever." He responded. I smiled, kissing his cheek. Then, we all started to eat. I like the UK's food way better then America's food. After we had finished eating, right before Fabian and I got up, his mom said.
"Nina? Would you like to come into town with me one day? We could go shopping? They have the best stores." She asked. "It would give Fabian and his dad some 'man' time." She added.
"Sure, I'd love too." I responded, that was kinda Amber's thing but, whatever Mrs. Rutter wanted. I smiled and she smiled too.
"We'll do that tomorrow. Okay? I'll be over around noon?"
"Sounds good." I smiled, and so did Fabian as we said our good-byes and headed home.
Fabian's POV
It was about 6pm when we got home. We had stopped at the market on the way.
We unpacked the food and sat down, giving us a moment to breathe.
"Should we call Trudy? Let her know we're here?" She said.
"Good Idea." I responded, picking up my cell phone and typing the number.
"Hello, Anubis House. Trudy speaking." A lady said.
"Trudy? It's Fabian. We just want to let you know we are here."
"What took so long?" She asked, sounding concerned.
"Oh, once we got here, my parents and us went out to lunch." I said.
"Well, sounds like you kids are having fun. I have cookies in the oven, so I have to go. Have fun!" She said, hanging up. Nina and I looked at each other. Wow. She was beautiful.
"Nina?" I asked, bringing myself put from my daydream.
"Yea?" She replied.
"Do you want to go for a walk? On the beach?" I asked. She nodded.
"Sure. Just let me stick something warmer on." I nodded and looked outside. There was a slight breeze and the sun was starting to set. She ran into her room, grabbed the clothes, then locked herself in the bathroom. A few moments later, she came out wearing a long black cover-up that tied around her neck. She stayed barefoot.
"Ready?" She asked, coming into the living room. I nodded, stood up and grabbed her hand. We headed to the back door and stepped out onto the, now cool, sand. We walked along the shoreline, hand-in-hand. The only sound was waves, gently lapping onto the bank. I put my arm around her and she turned to me.
"Fabian?" She said. "I think…" She paused, "I think I'm in love with you."
I pulled her in close and kissed gently on her lips. Her arms laid around my neck, mine on the small of her back. She finally pulled away.
"Nina." I said. "I know I'm in love with you."
She kissed me again, then laid her head on my chest. After a few moments, we turned and headed back to the house. It was silent all the way back. We each gripped each other's hands. There was nothing to be said. We were each lost in our thoughts and fantasies of each other. Our love talked for us. All the way back to the house.
Once we got back, we took our showers, slipped on pajamas then, met in the living room and sat cozily next to each other on the couch. Both of her arms around me, my arm around her. She rested her head on my chest and fell asleep, there next to me. We had kinda rushed our relationship. But, I knew I loved her and that was all that mattered.
We both must have fallen asleep because I awoke to the sun streaming in and Nina, still, wrapped around me. I kissed her forehead and looked at the time. It was 10 already. My parents were coming around noon! I gently wiggled Nina and she sat up.
"Fabian?" She whispered.
"Yea?" I whispered back.
"I love you."
"I love you too." I kissed her forehead. "We have to get up, Nins. My parents will be here soon." She sat up.
"I'm going to take a shower." She said, groggily getting up and heading for the bathroom. Once I heard the water start running, I turned back on the TV and started some coffee. A few moments later, Nina called.
"Hey Fabian?" She hollered from the bathroom.
"Yea?" I said, putting my ear up to the door.
"Can you bring me my bag?" She asked.
"Sure." I said, grabbing her bag from her room. "Can I open the door?" I asked, standing in front to the bathroom door, her clothes bag in hand.
"Sure." She said. I opened the door just enough for her bag to fit, then shut it again.
"Does that work?" I asked.
"Yup. Thanks." She responded, as I headed back to the living room. A few moments later, she came out again, stunning, as usual. (A/N – Nina's Outfit #3 on Profile.) While she did her hair, I slipped on tan shorts and an orange shirt.
A few moments after we were ready, my parents arrived. It was warm today, with a warm breeze. Not humid at all, so we left the screen door open, letting the fresh air fill the house. They walked right in.
"Hey Sweetie!" My mother said, tapping my back.
"Oh Hey Mum!" I replied. (A/N - Sorry. I'm American and keep forgetting to right 'Mum.') "Nina will be out in a minute. She's doing her hair. I'll let her know you guys are here."
Nina's POV
"Nin?" Fabian said, slightly opening the door.
"Yea?" I asked.
"My parents are here. Almost done?"
"Yup. Be out in a minute. Kay?" I said. He nodded, stepped out and closed the door.
"She'll be out in a minute." I heard him say. I put the final touches on my hair and make-up, then walked out to Mr. & Mrs. Rutter.
