Dino led his lover outside on a balcony. The sun was going down and everything had a little red glimmer on it. Chiara was amazed. The balcony looked beautiful. Her eyes sparkled.

The balcony was rather big. The floor was made out of marble and had a beautiful patter on it and the railing was made out of something metal-like. It was decorated with loads of red flowers and ivy. At the end of the balcony was a round table for two. The table cloth was pure white and on top of it was a candle, the flame as red as the setting sun. To the table's left and right side stood two wooden chairs. And around this small dining table laid white & red rose petals. Everything looked romantic.

"Just as expected from Dino" Chiara thought while turning her head so she looked at Dino again. Surprisingly his glance was on her. He hadn't even taken a look at the scenery around them.

"You like it?" Dino asked. Chiara only nodded. She was pleased.

Dino took her hand again. The woman slightly blushed by this action. He found it cute. The two lovers made their way to the table. Chiara now recognized that there were also petals around the candle.

"Oh, Dino. Why did you do all of this. I-"

"Shh." Dino cut her off. He smiled. "It's nothing. Just sit down." Chiara let out a small sigh and sat down. The blonde male across from her.

Now there was an awkward silence. Chiara didn't like that. She felt kind of uncomfortable and looked around. She glanced over to the door where they had come from and saw Romario coming with something to eat. As Chiara glanced over to the food, which was on its way, her stomach growled. Her face to crimson red. Dino first looked at her in shock, but then chuckled.

"What's so funny?" the young woman asked. She was a little upset. "Excuse me for being hungry. Anyway, it's not my fault that my stomach decided to make the sound of a dying whale."

Romario put the plates down and left immediately. He overheard this conversation and smiled while turning around. Gladly Chiara hadn't seen him, she'd probably rip his head off. She doesn't like it when people laugh about her, even if it's just a giggle.

Chiara pouted. Her usually happy smile turned into a sad one. She's emotional. As Dino saw her sad face he stood up, took his chair and placed it right next to hers. Chiara, still lost in thought of her sadness, hasn't noticed Dino's movements, as she suddenly felt something poking her cheek. She looked to her left and saw Dino, who was poking her with a piece of gnocchi [Italian dish]. "When did he?" Chiara's thoughts were disturbed by the poking.

"Stop th-"she couldn't end her sentence, because Dino put the noodle into her mouth.

"Don't talk. Eat." He glanced over at her with his warm brown eyes. The young woman didn't want to, but her stomach did. So she ate. After she swallowed she turned to Dino. She wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth to speak Dino put another gnocchi in her mouth.

"Don't you want to eat something?" she asked.

"No, I'm fine. As long as I'm with you everything's perfect." Chiara blushed on that one.

"Do you want to continue feeding you, amore?"

"No, thanks. I think I can do that by myself." She replied. She took the fork and continued eating. Dino watched her as she filled her empty stomach.

"Her appetite hasn't changed." Dino smiled and thought back to the day she left.

The blonde female ate the dish that stood in front of her. As soon as she finished she stood up.

"I'll start packing." She said and walked toward the door of the dining room.

"Packing for what?" Dino asked. On this face a big question-mark.

"Oh Dino. You forgot again? I've told you this about a hundred times. Our family trip." She couldn't believe Dino forgot about it. It was like the sixth time this week she had told him.

"I haven't forgotten. I just .. I forgot." He said with a sad face. Chiara slowly walked toward the young mafia boss. As she reached him she sat down in his lap and ran her hand through his hair. "And how long will you be away?"

"I don't know yet. You know my father, always up for new adventures. The last time I talked to him about that he said that it'll be for like six months."

"Six months?" Dino gasped. "Oh Dino. It's just six months, not forever." Chiara said in a soft voice. "So, don't be such a crybaby and act like a man. After all you're a mafia boss." She kissed his cheek.

She hoped of his lap and started walking toward the door again. Only this time leaving and heading to her room.

"I hate it when her father wants to take her on one of their family trips." Dino grunted angrily. He never liked it when she left. Especially since he confessed to her.

He sighed. "Well, it can't be helped. She's right, I should stop whining around." With these words he got up from his seat and left the dining room.

"I'm glad you're back. Have I already told you that?" He ran his hand through her hair. The young woman swallowed. "Yes, you've told me this every minute since I arrived. But I don't mind at all." She smiled.

Suddenly Chiara noticed that it was already dark. "How long have I been eating?" she thought. There was a small breeze which made her shiver. It wasn't a good choice wearing a sleeveless dress. Dino saw her shiver a second time and said "I think it's better if we go inside. I don't want you to catch a cold."

Chiara looked up at him, his brown eyes met her green ones again. Dino smiled warmly. It took her a moment to realize what he's said.

"Yeah, let's go." She got up and Dino put an arm around her while walking back into the mansion.
