A/N: Thanks for the reviews. :) And I'm sorry cos I didn't update earlier. On Monday I fell over with my bike and my knee was hurting so I really didn't feel like writing. :p And yesterday I had a headache. But now I'm fine again. It's very hot here so I took my laptop out and here I'm in our backyard. :p Haha…

Robert woke up, feeling hot. He felt hot, because it was really hot outside, he was under a blanket and he was wrapped around a woman who he loved.

Sophie woke up too and looked up at him. She smiled and kissed him gently. They looked at each others eyes for a while when he said: "I'm starving."

Sophie laughed and said: "Very romantic, Robert."

Robert blushed and grinned.

--

They were eating breakfast in the ground-floor. It was over 30˚C outside and it was hot indoors too.

"Do you have a swimsuit or bikinis with you here, Sophie?" Robert asked suddenly.

Sophie looked at him confused but answered: "Well, yeah. I always keep my bikinis with me when I travel, just in case. Why?"

"Well, we could go to Livorno. It's a city on the west-coast. What do you think?" he asked.

"Yeah, I would love to! But how do we get there?"

"We could rent a car."

--

They drove with a Peugeot 407 towards Livorno. It was cool inside, thanks for the air-conditioning. The car had a huge skylight (which didn't open though) and the car was dark-green.

Sophie looked out of the window at the scenery of Italy. There were no clouds and it was really, really hot. People wore shorts, t-shirts and tops. Most of them had some kind of hat on their head. It wasn't even blowing much. They were in Livorno now but not in the central though. This was the area were most people lived. They drove and drove until she could see a bit of the blue, sparkling ocean. She got more and more excited when they got closer. Finally they found a parking-lot near the beach. There were only few free places to park but they got one. They got out of the cool car into the hot parking-lot. Luckily, it was blowing quite much now when the ocean was so close.

The beach was full of people and really wasn't a surprise on such a beautiful day.

They found a free spot and put their towels onto the hot and soft sand.

Sophie got her green top and brown shorts off. Robert couldn't do anything but just stare AGAIN. She surely was really attractive with her red bikinis which's upper part was tied behind her neck. And he had to admit that the lower part was quite nice too. He came back down to Earth when she spoke: "Could you help me put some sun-protection (A/N: Is that the real word? I couldn't find the right word from our dictionary) onto my back?"

"Huh?"

"Could you help me put some sun-protection onto my back?"

"Oh. Yes, sure", he said, took off his t-shirt and shorts and sat onto his towel next to Sophie's.

She gave the bottle to him and turned around. He began to spread the sun-protection onto her back, starting with shoulders. He went on lower and lower, touching her smooth skin. Luckily it was so hot that no one could look at him strangely because his face was so red. He realized then that she was thin but quite athletic though. That kind of body made every man to go to their own dirty little fantasies and Robert Langdon really wasn't exception.

When he had finished she said: "Thanks a lot. It's my turn now to put some on you. Turn around."

Robert did as he was told and really did like her touch.

--

They had been on their towels for almost half an hour. Sophie felt like she was in a sauna. She tried one once and didn't want to try it anymore.

Finnish people are crazy. I can't understand how they can be in a room with almost 100˚C. Madness, she thought and sat up. He was lying on his back, eyes shut. She touched his stomach with her finger. He opened his eyes a little and looked at her.

"Let's go to swim! I feel like I'm gonna melt", she said and looked at him with puppy-eyes.

He got up and they began to walk towards the surging ocean. The water wasn't too cold or warm. It felt nice and refreshing. She walked into the water and went deeper until her stomach was in the water already. She turned around to look at him. He came after her slowly.

"Oh, come on! It's not that cold", she said and crouched. Her head went under the surface of the water and she came back up. She wiped the water off of her eyes and looked at him who still stood there, only his legs in the water. She sighed and walked to him. She took his hand, pulling him deeper and said: "Come on, you coward! Or I have to make you to!"

"Oh, is that so? Haven't you realized that you're much smaller than me? You could never put me under the surface if I don't want to", he said and looked at her grinning face.

"Well, that's what I'm going to do anyway", she said and put her hands around his neck. Her wet arms made him shiver. She pulled him down put he really was stronger so she had to use another way. She kissed him passionately. He went completely numb and she used her chance. She managed to pull him into the water. She let go of him and laughed hard at his confused face.

"That wasn't fair!"

"Yes, it was!"

"I'm gonna show you, you little…" he took a hold around her torso and took her with him under the surface. They came back up laughing. They went deeper until only her neck and head were over the surface. He was much taller than she, so his shoulders were still showing too. She dived and touched the sand of the sea-bed. She took a hold of some of the sand and came back up. She looked at her hand.

"Damn, only sand and rocks."

"I want to try too", Robert said and dived. She waited for him. He came back with nothing but sand too.

They dived for a while until she found quite big mussel.

"Gotcha! What a treasure this is, Robert. Look!"

But he was nowhere in sight. She turned around but she couldn't find him. She was getting worried. Suddenly, something grabbed her legs firmly. She was frightened and yelled a bit. Then that something raised her up.

Robert's head came up. He was grinning. She sighed.

"That wasn't funny. I was really scared. I thought you had drowned!"

"Me, drowned? I have been in the diving team at high school and college. And everyday when I'm at work, I swim fifty times to the other end of Harvard's swimming-pool."

"Oh. Well, surely I couldn't know that, you fool. But please don't do that again!"

"Okay. But how about this?" he said and kissed her, still carrying her. His other hand was behind her knees and the other one behind her back. She kissed back but he pulled away, waiting for the answer.

"Please, DO that again", she said and smiled. He grinned and kissed her gently. She put her hands around his neck. The kiss became more passionate until they had to breathe.

"What else I'm allowed to do?" he asked innocently. She looked at him for a while and thought.

"Nothing else right now", she said and they kissed again.

--

"I'm starving", Robert said. They were on their way back to Florence.

"Again", she said and grinned. "Well, I'm too. It's funny that always when people go to swim, they'll get hungry."

"Yeah. What do you want to eat then?" he asked.

"I want pizza. What do you think?"

"Sounds great. I don't even remember when I have eaten pizza last time."

--

They were eating in quite new pizzeria (A/N: Is that the right word? O.o). The atmosphere was peaceful and nice. He had already eaten his pizza five minutes before when she finished hers. They paid and left the place. It was late and dark again. They walked silently, hand in hand, back to their hotel. They used their new tactic to keep Robert not getting nervous in a lift. Well, nothing kept his thoughts away from the world around than symbols and Sophie's lips on his. So they kissed the whole way up. But they didn't kiss just to make Robert think something else than the lift. They kissed because they wanted. They stopped kissing when the lift stopped. They walked fast to their room's door and opened it. When they were inside, he closed the door. They got their shoes off and started kissing again, passionately. He sat onto the bed and she came to sit on him, her legs around him. Her hands were in his hair and his hands on her back. He was about to take her shirt off, when she for some kind of reason that she didn't know even herself said: "Probably… Probably we shouldn't do it, Robert. Not yet."

He looked at her, sadly. She regretted what she had said already but he said: "I won't force you. I really love you so I don't want to do it if you don't."

He kissed her gently. They pulled apart. Silently, she got off of him and changed into her t-shirt and shorts which she used when she was sleeping.

He, in the meanwhile, brushed his teeth and washed his face. When he was ready, she went into the bathroom. When she got out, he was already sleeping. She went down to sleep next to him. She gave him a gentle kiss onto his cheek and whispered very, very quietly, that even he didn't hear: "I'm sorry."

A/N: Mwahahaaaa! I'm EVIL. x)

It really was hot in here today so I got inspired for this chapter from Finland's weather. xD Haha.

I couldn't find information about Livorno, so I'm REALLY sorry if there's something wrong. I just found few maps of Italy and there was a city called Livorno on the west-coast.

Oh, and we have a black Peugeot 407 SW which is just a bit different from Peugeot 407. But I'm not sure if there's a skylight in that car. Does anyone know?

Have you ppl heard of sauna? Here, in Finland there's a sauna in every house. Well, I don't know any where isn't. We have a sauna too, but I don't go there often.

Just keep reviewing and I'll keep updating. Okay:)
