The din of the church bells reverberates across the idyllic town, signifying the onsetting evening.
Crepuscle rays illuminated the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian, waves gently lapping the golden sands of the Neapolitan shore.
A couple of older gentlemen exchange argent verbal blows, accompanied by flamboyant hand gestures of characteristic Italian flair.
"Grazie, signore" the waiter bowed as he took the payment of your finished cocktails, Kronii's was only half finished but you didn't mind, she was a lightweight afterall.
Just as she entered your mind, you noticed her turn to wave at you from the beach. The cool ocean breeze caused her large straw hat to almost take flight, as she held it down, her bangs swung like two delicate pendulums, brushing her soft, pink cheeks. That sincere smile and closed eyes beamed at you, brighter than the setting sun. How your heart raced whenever she smiled your way, the beating of a butterflies wings being the physical manifestation of the unbridled joy you felt everytime you shared a moment together.
The pure white sundress danced in the wind as she walked back towards the table. Her bare feet kicking up the fine sand in her path, dusting her fine slender legs in the small golden granules. Her dress was slightly wet, turning the fabric a little translucent, teasing you with her plain black but skimpy bikini top and thong. You adjusted your seating position a little as she approched and you got more of an eyeful.
Kronii dropped her sandals she held in her otherhand on to the cobbled stone pavement and slipped them on, sitting on the chair right besides you. A graceful imprisoning of your arm takes place as she scoots her chair as close as she can, a tight embrace she will not be breaking any time soon.
Her straw hat slips off and her warm, sun-kissed face presses onto your broad shoulder, beckoning you to tilt your head on hers.
"The sea is quite pretty at this time" a sigh of exhaustion leaves her as the day of swimming and fun had caught up.
"Hardly as pretty as you" you winced at your own compliment but Kronii just laughs at your cute flirtatious attempt "True, I am gorgeous after all, nothing is prettier than me"
"Now you mention it, I can think of multiple things prettier than you" you test the waters to spark some playful teasing
"Oh really? Do tell?" Her head lifts off your shoulder and she gives you a wry, grin of anticipation.
"We have the Amalfi coast to travel along tomorrow, that is supposed to be stunning, oh and the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum are like a trip back in time!"
"I see, some picture postcards and old stone buildings are prettier than me, huh?"
You turn to face her, a small pout had formed around her mouth and the twilight still managed to light up those cerulean eyes you could drown in.
"I don't know yet, we will just have to spend a bit more time together to find out" A flush of colour bathed her cheeks as you whispered that last part close to her ear, you can feel her tingling as you do. You place your forehead on hers, that cute little nose just lightly nuzzling yours, completing her submission to your amourous demeanour. She's addicted to this romance. She's addicted to you.
You fake out the developing kiss, breaking the tender moment but knowing full well she will beg for more of it later, beg for more of you later.
"Anon, you're a bit naughty today... just you wait until we are all alone at the hotel~"
Looks like swimming wasn't the only exercise Kronii was up for today.
