In the early hours of the morning

"Uh?... Mmmh..." That meant, translated from your "grunts of just being awakened" language, you were feeling something moving. It was Adriana getting up and trying to free herself from your embrace and get up.

You say "Love... why are you... what time is it?" She came back down and the first thing you saw that day, in the pale light from the nightstand's lamp, was her beautiful face and her magical eyes, still semi-closed because she was feeling sleepy too.

Adriana replies "Hey... I didn't want to wake you, it's only 4:30 (am), but I have to get ready and go down to have hair and makeup done with the other girls before we go to the Eiffel Tower for the photoshoot... sleep a bit more, my love, you can get up later, we leave only at 7 with the bus, so stay here, I'll see you later, ok?"

You yawn "No way, I'll go with you"

Adriana says "No, not this time, only the models and the makeup artists are allowed, you will have to wait anyway, so please stay in bed a bit more and rest, we slept only a few hours last night"

You question "Are you sure? I can come and stay waiting outside..."

She answers "No, we are in a 5 star hotel, what kind of dangerous situation you think I could have to face? Don't be paranoid, honey, I'll be fine, I promise... now close your eyes and sleep, I'll set your phone clock to 6:15; do you think it's enough for you to get ready?"

You agree "Sure, I'll be there. Wait! I have something important to tell you, before you leave..."

She questions "What is it?"

You say " That I love you so, so, so much, Adriana"

Adriana replies "Awww Eu tambem, te amo meu amor [ I love you too my love] Now I have to-hmmm!" Your kiss took her off guard, but despite her just spoken words she didn't struggle with your efforts to pull her closer, all the opposite; faint traces of a foreign taste were still on her lips mixed with her usual irresistible ones, probably from Josephine's juices from the night before.

Short after she parted her lips and pressed slighlty against your embrace, so you let her go. She stood up from the bed, naked, and went to the bathroom.

You say "Love, you should put at least some slippers on, or your feet will get cold walking on the carpet this way"
