The train made a whistling noise. It was a rather picturesque scene. A train station, tons of noise, a beautiful sunrise in the background; the stuff you'd only see in artworks.
Lovino wasn't sure if he was ready to go yet.
"All aboard!" Called the conductor.
Scratch that, it wasn't that Lovino wasn't ready, it was that he didn't want to go. He didn't want to leave Feli and his little brother but Antonio and Feli insisted, he needed a break from work. New scenery and all that crap.
And so they booked a crosscountry train ride across Europe for him. It's supposed start in Spain and go through France, Switzerland, Italy (his home country) and other countries.
Antonio gave him a pat on the back, "Well then mi amigo, go on! See the world! Find amor!"
Lovino grumbled, "Don't touch me."
Antonio didn't seem to mind his tone, "Go or your going to miss your train!"
Lovino picked up his suitcase, "Well, see you later you b*stard."
And with that he boarded the train.
ââââââââââââââââ
Sarah wasn't listening to her older brother's fretting.
"Just stay safe okay?"
Sarah blinked, "What?"
Beau gave her a small sigh and smiled, "Nothing. Just be careful okay Sare Bear?"
Mienke offered her two cents, "Keep yourself and your money safe. You never know who's dangerous and who's not."
Sarah laughed a little, "Don't worry I'll be fine."
The conductor yelled, "All aboard!"
Sarah jumped up to hug her siblings, "Goodbye big bro, bye big sis!"
Mienke wasn't used to the affection, "Ahem, you should get to your train."
Beau said goodbye and Sarah was off to find adventure in Europe.
ââââââââââââââââ
Lovino was in awe of the train, although he'd never admit it. Feli would love to paint it.
Time flew by until it was sunset.
Lovino decided to take a walk around the train cars.
That's when he saw a woman with long light brown hair trying to drag a hefty suitcase around. She looked as if she was apart of the aristocratic crowd and part of hair covered her right eye.
Lovino, being the nice person he was (well, pretty much only to women) decided to help her out.
He went over and helped her out.
Luckily, they weren't that far from where she wanted to go.
Once they moved the suitcase, the woman said, "Thanks!"
"You're welcome. What was I supposed to do when I saw a pretty bella such as yourself struggling with that suitcase."
The woman giggled, "I'm Sarah by the way."
"Lovino. Lovino Vargas."
Sarah offered, "As a thank you, maybe I can buy you breakfast tomorrow? Or dinner?"
Lovino panicked for a minute. Usually whenever he helped a girl out she didn't offer him dinner, he didn't expect Sarah to actually offer him breakfast or dinner.
"I- I would like that."
Sarah gave him a smile, "Then it's settled! I'll see you tomorrow at the second dining car." She turned around and opened the door to her room, "Bis Muer*!"
She shut the door behind her leaving Lovino mumbling a weak, "Arrivederci bella*."
ââââââââââââââââ
Sarah waited at a table the next morning. She had faith, perhaps too much, that Lovino was going to come. She had even dressed up in her favorite blue and white pinstripe dress for the occasion.
A few things stood out about him from other people. One of the biggest was that he didn't recognize her as a de Vries sibling.
She was spacing out when Lovino sat at the table in front of her, "Sarah?"
Sarah perked up a bit, "Yes? Oh Lovino! I knew you were coming. I was looking forward to this!"
Lovino looked down, slightly embarrassed (why, Sarah didn't know), "Grazie*."
Sarah asked, "So what brings you on such a big trip?"
Lovino shrugged, "My little brother and a friend of mine told me that I needed a break from work so they booked me a ticket. What about you?"
"I needed to get away from home. Don't get me wrong, I love my home and my family, I just feel like I need to figure things out for myself."
Sarah asked another question, "Where exactly do you work Lovino?"
"I own and run an Italian restaurant. Not one of those cheap bullsh*t knockoffs but a legitimate one. I should know I am Italian myself."
Sarah gave a polite smile, "An Italian? I'm from Luxembourg myself. I'm a bit of a businesswoman too."
"Luxembourgish and a business woman Sounds fancy."
"Indeed it does."
ââââââââââââââââ
It was the last day of the trip and Lovino was having fun with Sarah. He hoped that Sarah was having fun with him.
Lovino sat down and Sarah plopped in the seat in front of him.
It was sunrise and they were almost back at the train station in Spain.
Sarah sighed, "I wish that this trip wouldn't end."
"I know, I wish that too."
And he really meant it. As much as he missed his family and friends, part of him wished that he could stay here with Sarah, a woman he had known for less than a week.
Sarah asked abruptly, "What if we never see each other again?"
Lovino panicked a bit at the thought, "We will see each other again after this trip ends. I promise you that, bella."
Sarah let out a dry laugh, "You still haven't told me what 'bella' means. I also don't know your last name or anything similar. It's funny how this stuff works."
"To be fair, I also don't know your last name or anything similar. Also, I didn't tell you what 'bella' means?"
Sarah shook her head.
Lovino explained, getting redder as his explanation started to turn into a ramble, "It means beautiful and well, you are beautiful so I called you that and it stuck. And you really are beautiful and smart and funny and all that sh-"
He was cut off by Sarah kissing him. He pulled her closer and kissed back. Boy, was he a good kisser.
Sarah pulled away, âMy name is Sarah de Vries. Thatâs my last name, de Vries.â
Lovino told her, âMy name is Lovino Vargas.â
ââââââââââââââââ
Sarah left the train holding hands with Lovino. She never expected to find a lover during her trip.
It was a pleasant surprise.
The End
ââââââââââââââââ
So thatâs my last submission!
