Emilia took a long, languid breath of the air in Venice. She looked normal for now. She'd re-died her hair to it's natural root color; bright blonde. Just whenever she visited Venice, to see if maybe, Yusef would ever find her. Today, she wore the plainest of clothing too. Blue summer dress that ended at her knees and sandals with jewels embedded on them. She twirled around in it as it swished against her legs she sighed contentedly at the feeling before humming to herself and walking around touching each of the places she passed.

Until she ran into something, or someone, and fell rather unpleasantly on her rear.

"Oww." She cried wincing as she touched her head cautiously.

Jonathan had decided because he didn't have anything better to do with his holiday. He was pretty lonely lately every since Juliet had job offer in America and she decided to take it and she left. He no sooner found his best friend he lost her.

Jonathan decided it had been awhile since he had been to Venice, granted he would rather be here with someone he was in love with, but that was not in the cards at the moment and he wondered if it ever would be.

He was walking along the street not really paying attention to where he was walking when the next thing he realized was he had run into someone.

Looking down on the ground before him was a beautiful woman. 'Sure Jon, just what you need to do be knocking over the beautiful woman, I guess that is how you get noticed.

Looking down he said "I am really sorry about that Miss" Jonathan offered his hand for her to get up.

by **Emilia Alzone** Sun Apr 08, 2012 5:39 pm

Emilia tried to keep herself calm. She hadn't been expecting a charming man to help her, rather probably a snobby Italian that she'd familiarized herself growing up. She smiled nervously taking the hand and lifting herself up. She didn't want to stumble over her words so she tried composing them in her head, it took a while though.

"H-Hi," she stammered. "My name is Emilia. W-What's your name?" She asked tilting her head and smiling politely, not realizing she hadn't let go of the hand just yet.

by Guest Mon Apr 09, 2012 6:16 am

Jonathan realized how beautiful this woman was and it was apparent she might be a little shy. After he helped her up he noticed she still had not let go of his hand.

Looking at their hands noticing how they seem to fit together, "Hi Emilia, my name is Jonathan, but you my call me Jon."

Jon had to smile at her, "So what are you doing in the beautiful city all alone?"

by **Emilia Alzone** Mon Apr 09, 2012 8:15 am

Emilia, so daring she'd been called, was a frightful as a chicken. She didn't want to screw anything up because for once she'd actually spoken to someone that wasn't her coworker. She grinned sheepishly.

"Then you can call me Em, or something along those lines." She waved off the question. She realized her other hand was still in his and she flushed before squeezing it as if to marvel that she was actually holding someone else's hand.

"Enjoying it, I haven't been here in a while. What about you?" She asked looking back up but not moving her and she a slow smile blessed her lips. He really was dashing, to be honest.

by Guest Mon Apr 09, 2012 9:41 am

Jonathan was trying to be very careful that he didn't mess this up, he was really glad he had not been drinking because that was a mess. He swore of drinking so that was not going to be a problem. The only other person he had talked to disappeared and he never saw her again. He had hoped that this one would not.

He was not sure whether this lady was a witch or not, not that it matter. From what he could tell they were in muggle Venice. So she could be either, so he would have to watch what he said.

"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Em, I happen to be found of Lia. May I call you that?" Jonathan gave her a sweet smile. "Emilia was the name of my great-great grandmother and that was what everyone called her.

He had felt her squeeze his hand and he looked down at them again and really enjoyed the feeling, not remembering the last time he held a hand like this. But refusing to let it go, unless she released it first.

"Actually it has been a long time since I was here so I was enjoying my time before heading back to school in a couple of months."

Noticing her smile he could not help but comment, "Has anyone told you how beautiful your smile is?"

by **Emilia Alzone** Mon Apr 09, 2012 12:00 pm

Normally, she kept her cool. She was so relaxed and at home with herself. Well, at least Em had been told that. She was vibrant too yet back in her home, back in her roots, back where she grew up... It was just unnerving for her to be back here. Her hair, a bright blonde, was what she couldn't get over to most. She loved dying it. Red was her favorite though she shrugged the thought away.

"Great-great grandmother? I hope this doesn't make it awkward. Lia's just fine." Emilia tilted her head before an even worse thought came to mind. What if... What if this man was a muggle? Not that they were bad but she couldn't live in the world where she'd be lying all the time.

"You're a student?" She asked wondrously before gulping nervously. She was holding hands with a student. As if this could worsen. She blushed at his compliment before turning them both towards the flower arrangement shop.

"That's even better," she murmured before even lower murmuring, "you're just as dashing and charming." Her cheeks were on fire but she was still slightly nervous despite the tingle she felt.

by Guest Tue Apr 10, 2012 2:32 am

Jon had to laugh a small nervous laugh, "Nope not awkward at all, I have always loved my grandmothers name."

Jonathan could tell she got a little nervous when he talked about going back to school and then smiled a little when she asked if he was a student. "Nope, no student here, it has been a long time since I was a student."

Jonathan squeezed her hand a little, it just felt so right. There was something about this woman that was keeping his attention. Yes he had thought that Charlie was that way, but maybe not. Charlie was not really his type, she was too quiet and obviously had other things going on.

"I actually teach astronomy at a private school in Germany." Jon smiled

He really would like to get to know this woman. "I haven't had anything to eat yet. Would you care to join me?"

by **Emilia Alzone** Tue Apr 10, 2012 8:18 am

"Good," Emilia sighed. She really didn't want it to be awkward or anything, she felt the tension leave her shoulders.

"You could pass for a student," she teased smiling teasingly. Germany? She froze. She was British, this man was German, this could add more problems. If muggles were dragged into this then she'd be against him. She almost winced at the thought.

"Sure but first I have a question," she paused momentarily before biting her lip. What was a question that every wizarding person knew? She wondered before the thought hit her. "Do you believe in magic?" She'd obliviate him if he didn't answer properly. She used her other hand into her purse for her wand just in case. Em held a polite smile all the way through.

by Guest Tue Apr 10, 2012 9:10 am

Jonathan was happy for that comment. It worked many times in his favor in his line as spy. He could get into many places easily.

Jonathan could feel her tense in his hand when he mentioned the word Germany so he thought he would ease her a little. "Do worry my little English flower, I am as English as you are, I only teach in Germany."

Jonathan knew he did not know this woman and could not tell her why he was in Germany.

Jonathan found it interesting that in order for her to go out with him for a bite to eat she wanted to know about magic. Interesting, he wondered what kinda of magic she was talking about.

Leaning in to whisper in her ear so no one around could hear him. Having his wand ready in case he needed to obliviate her. "Are you talking that magical spark that happens between two people that have chemistry between them? Or wands, witches, wizards, and defense against the dark arts?" Jonathan smiled as he felt the shiver as his hot breathe touched her neck.

by **Emilia Alzone** Tue Apr 10, 2012 3:06 pm

Em bit her lip in thought. So he was English but teaching in Germany. She almost pouted. Did that mean that he got paid better? That would suck in her eyes. Mostly because she loved living in England, then again she'd never been to visit Germany after all.

"English flower?" She asked twisting her lips into a crooked smile. "I'll have you know, I'm not little." She stated sassy but still smiling.

Em bit her lip nervously. It felt really nice and soothing honestly. Fisting her hand clenching tightly around her wand, her other hand squeezing his tighter, she bit her lip. Her eyes darted to his other hand seeing the want in it. She got on her tippy toes to whisper back in his ear, "Depends on what you mean by witch, darling." She purred slightly before smirking inside. "Now, I mean the latter. Take me to lunch now?" Em asked leaning back on her heels and smiling knowingly. I win, she mused.

by Guest Tue Apr 10, 2012 5:04 pm

Jonathan could not help but smile as he was towering over her. "Yep, not little at all." She was just the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Jonathan was tempted to pick her up and kiss her when she stood on he tippy toes and whispered into his ear and called him darling. "Well, Love, I am sure the kind of witch you are would keep me on my toes with a well placed hexed. he smiled as he put away his wand.

Jonathan had to laugh when she got a little demanding. "Just the type of woman I love, a woman who knows what she wants"

Jonathan took her by the hand he had still not released and walked to the closes cafe, waiting to be seated.

by **Emilia Alzone** Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:52 pm

"Never doubt it." Em gloated fakily. It was really nice feeling that she felt in her chest as she poked his nose slightly and led herself into the cafe.

To be sweetly honest, she'd never really had a true love. She'd never met someone as endearing as Jon and it was refreshing. With other people she was so regally exotic and eccentric to others. She looked normal with her blonde hair. Her eyes were blue and framed softly with green so she looked just as normal as others. As she ordered she smiled politely and fluttered her eyelashes. She turned back to Jon.

"So, as corny and overused as it is, tell me about yourself."

by Guest Sat Apr 14, 2012 6:49 pm

Jonathan laughed a little "Trust me, my dear, I will never doubt anything about you. You are diffidently a woman not to mess with." Jon gave a smile, especially when she poked his nose.

Walking into the cafe they were lead to a table and handed some menus and while he was reading them over she was wanting him to tell her about himself.

"Well any more I tend to enjoy a nice evening at home with a good book, but an occasionally walk is not out of the cards." Jon smiled as he looked up at the waiter wanting their drink orders

"Ladies first, my dear what would you like?"

by **Emilia Alzone** Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:08 am

Em was slightly shocked. Young, handsome, and intelligent? She didn't know how to react. How could someone be single? Then she realized that she was almost gawking and corrected herself. What if...

"Are you married?" She asked suspiciously. She sat back and smiled at the waitress.

"Chocolate cake; just as slice and coffee. Cream and sugar for my coffee would be nice too." Em ordered slightly uninterested.

by Guest Mon Apr 16, 2012 3:48 pm

Jonathan had to smile when she ordered a slice of chocolate cake, he was glad not a woman trying to hide anything. Most woman had a salad and a glass of tea.

"I would also like a piece of cake, and a glass of ice tea." said Jonathan to the waitress then turned is attention to Lia.

"I have never been married, and I have not had a girlfriend in a long time." Jonathan sighed. He actually could not even remember the last he had a date. He ran into that lady in the graveyard, but there was no feeling there. She seemed to have a lot of her own world going on.

by **Emilia Alzone** Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:09 pm

Em smiled and nodded. She put her hands under her neck in thought. She briefly wondered where this could go. There was a fluttering in her stomach when she realized that this may go further, it was a happy feeling though.

"Really? Then German girl really don't know what their missing." She shook her head in a disappointment. He was charming and nice plus add in intelligent and sweet.

"I can't believe that. Are you sure?" She asked tilting her head and raising a brow curiously.

by Guest Thu Apr 19, 2012 5:52 am

Jonathan had to smile, "Nope I haven't been with anyone. Up until last year there was a lot of my past I didn't even know."

The waitress had come back with their drinks and cake and then set them down and walked away from them.

"All I have is a best friend who's name is Juliet, she is like a sister too me, and that's it" Jonathan smiled.

It was his job as a spy that kept him single most of the time, but he was tired of being alone and wanted someone to share his life with.

"How about you, any one trying to catch you eye?" Jonathan asked then to a bite of his cake, it was really good.

by **Emilia Alzone** Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:09 pm

Emilia's eyes lighted up at the sight of the cake. She took in a bite and moaned delightfully shutting her eyes. It was so sweet, so good. She so totally missed this euphoric taste of Italian cake. She'd have to come to Italy more for this sweet and great taste. She smiled and nodded. Her confusion was gone before she shook her head at the question.

"Honestly, not really. I hate to sound corny but," she paused to take another bite and smiled sweetly, "my life is a bit of a beginning start and I'd rather love to have Mr. Right than Mr. Right Now." Em paused again.

"Why do you teach in Germany and not live in England? It's a quaintly nice place but why settle in Germany? I mean, do they pay better?" She asked bemusedly still smiling before fixing her coffee.

by Guest Fri Apr 20, 2012 11:28 pm

Jonathan could not help but smile at the way Lia was eating the cake, "I imagine if you put that much enjoyment in a relationship as you did with that bite of cake the relationship would be terrific."

Jonathan had to think about what she was saying and he had to agree with her, that was the reason he was not hoping from one woman's bed to the next. "I quit looking for the right now a long time ago. I want the always and forever." Jonathan sighed and took another bite of his cake.

When she asked Jonathan about working in Germany if he was from England. "Well to be honest I live in both places, and my friend was here and other things." Jonathan could not really come out and tell her he was a spy that wouldn't work.

by **Emilia Alzone** Sun Apr 22, 2012 4:33 am

Emilia blushed at the insinuation and lowered her hands into her lip. She couldn't help it. The cake was so sweet and great tasting. "It's really amazing if you've had it your whole life." She missed Italy sometimes. She smiled softly and patted Jon's forearm gently before sipping from her now made coffee. It was sweet and bitter; complimenting the cake.

"It's hard to find someone who can keep up with me." She winked and smirked before taking another bite from her cake.

"Do you visit Italy a lot?" She asked

by Guest Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:10 pm

Jonathan had to smirk a little "Well I guess I will have to keep working out at the gym then, so I can stay fit enough to chase you." Jonathan like the idea of a little chase now and then, especially when it ended happy.

"Actually I try to visit Italy often, I find it beautiful here." Jonathan had thought at one time he would love to live here it it wasn't for the war and everything else going on around them.

by **Emilia Alzone** Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:33 pm

Em bit her lip to conceal her want to giggle. Giggles made her feel all girly and lightheaded not like the normal whimsical 'I'll-do-anything-because-I'm-only-going-to-live-once' self. She loved the feeling though that she had of butterflies and happiness. That feeling was almost overwhelming in the pit of her stomach.

"Good to know you're fit," she couldn't stop her roving eyes and when she realized what she was doing she averted her eyes to her cake.

"It is beautiful; I grew up here." Em concurred. She remembered Yusef and the wonderful summers they spent together; it was heavenly in a way.

by Guest Tue Apr 24, 2012 6:56 pm

Jonathan had to place a smile on his face when he caught her really checking him out, maybe she likes what she sees he thought.

"I like to take morning jogs , if you are ever interested sometime." Jonathan smiled as he took the last bite of his cake.

"I have been thinking of buying a home here, I would like to spend more time in the summer here." Jonathan knew that she loved it here.

by **Emilia Alzone** Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:54 pm

"Ah," Em paused upon her eating of her cake and dropped her fork. She dabbed off a piece of cake that had made it's home as residue upon her cheek. She made a bridge with her hands and rested her face on the bridge.

"So, you're from England? Which part?" She asked, interest laced in her words.
