Xia rushed home ,and put away her groceries. She couldn't wait for her outing with Raph. She had to make sure that she wore the perfect outfit, and looked flawless. She didn't know why she was stressing her appearance so much, it wasn't like he liked her. Sure, he was attracted to her, but he probably still didn't want to be anything but her friend. Even though she wanted more. She just didn't know how to say anything.
As the photographer looked through her closet for something to wear, another idea came to mind. Why not stay here and watch a movie? It was alot cozier at her place, they could just fix up some popcorn and just snuggle on the couch... well... sit together. He may not want to snuggle. Her own little fantasy. It could be fun. Maybe he'd be up for it, and if not then oh well, she'd go out. Anything to be able to spend time with Raphael. She pulled on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, and a flowy white shirt that hung loose at the bottom, but hugged her right at the top. She let down her hair, and reapplied her make up. Now, all she had to do was wait. The anticipation was killing her.

As soon as he reached his condo, Raphael put his grocery away and turned the shower on. He took a quick shower, didn't even wait till it warmed up. The moment it was warm enough to be comfortable he was already jumped out from the shower, drying himself with the towel, before he ran to his bedroom. This guy lived alone in a two bedrooms condo, which one of those he turned into a place where he kept his clothes from his ten years of modeling. It was a little messy now, but he had made a mental note to clean it up later after he returned from the little date planned for tonight.
He couldn't help but wondering what to wear. First he thought of wearing a suit, but it wouldn't be appropriate; they were friends, not business partner going out to sign some agreement! So suit was out of question... It took a while till he decided what to wear. Done with choosing what to wear he grabbed his keys and went to her unit. Raphe knew where she lived and had been there several times before, but somehow he was never this nervous. He tried to not think about it as he rang her bell, wondering if they should just order some takeaways and spend the night watching something on her TV...
...but maybe she would prefer eating out and watch some new movie release? He wasn't sure, it had been ages since the last time he actually went out for a date... Probably since his last girlfriend, who was also a model. It was a disaster and since then he never want to date models anymore. |

Finally after what seemed like hours of waiting (even though it was really only minutes,) the door bell rang, The photographer jumped up and tried to calm herself, not wantin to look like a nervous wreck in front of the model. She wasn't some crazed fan, she was someone who worked with him (And had sex with him) a few times. She should have been alot more comfortable than she was.
Xia opened the door with a welcoming smile on her face. "Hey, stranger." The woman teased. She stepped aside so that he could come in. "I was thinking, would you rather just stay here and watch a movie? Maybe order some chinese, or some pizza, or both?" She asked, followed by a small giggle at the end. She knew he could put down some food and so could she. Ordering both would not be a problem for these two. They could scarf down a grocery store filled with food if need be. If he didn't like that idea, she'd be fine with it, but she kind of wanted to be in a more intimate setting with Raph. Talk with him, and get to know his insides a bit more.

He should brought flowers for her, chocolates, something. Raphael felt like his hands were empty as he waited till the door opened for him, and he didn't like the little fact that he couldn't surprise her by bringing something for her... he made a mental note to send her a bouquet of flowers tomorrow. As the door finally being opened and he was greeted by that sweet, welcoming smile of hers, Raphe couldn't help but grinned back at her and placed a kiss on her cheek as he passed her to the other side of the door.
And like reading his mind, she asked if he wanted to stay at her home and just watch movie and ordered some take outs! He grinned wider, clearly loving the idea, and nodded excitedly. "Sure, love the idea! And I believe we could order both, couldn't we?" he said with the same mischievous grin he always used when he was up for mischief. He could remember when he was younger he used to just eat one apple a day try to get slimmer... those times had passed and now he was a healthy eater again.
"Hmmm... what movie should we watch?" Raphe asked, "hopefully nothing with me in it?" he added, smirking. He wasn't an actor, but he once or twice landed with some minor roles and he knew some people at the agency often rub this fact onto his face just to snicker at Raphael's blushing state.

The excited woman was pleased that he didn't reject her idea. By the looks of it, he was thinking the same thing. It wasn't at all surprising though because that kind of thing seemed to always happen to them. They were alike in so many ways, yet so different. They meshed together so well in such a weird way it seemed. "Of course we can get both!" She said excitedly. Xia never rejected an opportunity to stuff her face. She loved to eat, and still had a fantastic metabolism so she never gained too much weight. She was glad she had the luxury of not worrying about her appearance like the models had to. Sacrifice for success. That's what they all say.
"I don't think I have any movies with you in them." She said, hoping that she didn't hurt his feelings. Not that Raph was a terrible actor or anything, she just simply didn't have any of them. She has watched them before of course. "Besides, why would I want to watch a movie with you in it, when I have you here. Seems a bit weird to me." she said with a smirk. The girl pointed in the direction of the movie case standing in the corner by the television. "I don't care what you pick out. Pick whatever you like. I'm going to go ahead and order the food." She said, as she walked away into her room towards her computer to look up the numbers for the restaurants.

Raphael grinned as she said they could have both; both of them were always enjoy their food and Raphe was sure they would have a good time pigging on those foods tonight. And when she said she didn't have any movie with him in it, Raphe let out a relieved sigh. "That's perfect hun!" he said, smiling as he walked to the movie stack and sat there in front of them, before began to tapped his fingers from one title to another, trying to find something good to watch with her.
Hmmm, what to pick? Raphe had no idea. Usually he would go for anything from drama to action, from sappy romance to thriller... But for this afternoon he wanted something a little more special. Something she and him will enjoy and have fun watching together. Thinking they could just pick up random movie and snuggle up at the couch while munching on their food, the film completely forgotten, the model got up and walked to where she went to earlier.
"How's my lovely Xiamora doing?" he playfully asked as he leaned there by the doorway, his smile adorned his face, "Does she able to get the food for her Raphael?"

Xia went to the pizzaria's website, and ordered an extra large meat lovers pizza, and a large cheese pizza. Her mouth was watering just thinking about the pizza alone, and now she was calling to order the chinese food. When Raph entered the room the girl turned around and smiled softly, not saying a word to him just yet, being that she was still on the phone with the chinese place. "yes, pork fried rice. Chow mein, sweet and sour chicken... uhhh..." She thought for a second, trying to see if she was forgetting anything. "Mandarin chicken. I think that will do it.... 30 minutes? Perfect. Thanks!" She clicked the off button on her cordless phone and rose to approach the gorgeous model before her. Every time the man smiled it sent shivers up her spine. She was so crazy about him, she couldn't even explain in words how it felt.
"I've ordered all the food your majesty." She teased, walking over to the man and hugging him around the waist. Her head fell softly onto his chiseled chest, feeling as if he was her pillow. It always felt nice to be around Raphael. Especially to be in his arms. If only she could speak up and tell him how she really felt, maybe she would actually get her happily ever after ending. Unfortunately the photographer did not believe in happy endings and fairy tales. Life and reality was so much different than the stories put together in those little picture books.

Raphael watched her turning, now facing him, but the cordless phone still attached to her ear. She was calling the Chinese take out it seems, since she ordered those food... and she even ordered Mandarin chicken, which was his favourite! "Ah, thank you, Princess. I know I could always rely on you." Now he had all the reason in the world to love her more than he already had. Raphe gladly put his arms around her as she hugged him; hugging her was never something that he needed to think about. She was perfect in his arms just like that, but dare he see her as something more than his close friend?
She was seven years younger than he was. It must be wrong, to even wished she could be his. He was almost reach the age when he wanted to settle down, to have kids and family and stable career, probably ended quitting from what he was doing since although now his age still didn't matter, as soon as he was forty there would be no one wanted to use him. He might start considering doing something else before the time come, maybe build his own business, or like most of the people, work in a company, probably in clerical division...
He shook those thoughts away. It was still far, far from happening and now he had her in his arms, he better not to think about such trivial matters and just focusing on her and how perfect she was in his arms. How wonderful she smelled, how sweet she looked... "Your boyfriend a lucky man" he finally sighed, his tone almost jealous.

Xia frowned up at the man, looking at him with eyes filled with confusion. What boyfriend? Xiamora hadn't had a guy since... maybe 7 or 8 months ago? Another model, thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. He wasn't faithful, and Xia had no problem giving him the boot. It hurt, but she moved on. That was part of life...
"Raph baby, I don't have a boyfriend. I figured you might have known that." She laughed looking up at him for a moment, trying to think of what to do next. What to say next. DId she just come out with how she felt? By the tone of his voice it seemed like he was a bit jealous. Was the jealousy triggered by feelings? There was too many thoughts traveling through her head and she couldn't handle it anymore. Instead of talking, she raised up on her toes so her lips could meet his, and planted a kiss on his lips. She couldn't help herself. Sure they had kissed many times before, but those were filled with lust. This one, was filled with love. Hopefully through this kiss the words that she was too afraid to speak would come through through her actions.

Stupid, stupid him! Raphe cursed himself as he realized that yes, she already broke up with that worthless man months ago. He cheated on her and Raphe ended taking it too personal--no one mess with one of his closest friend--that he kept glaring at the younger model all the time during a photo session... It wasn't his fault though when the said man tripped and fell over the props out of nervousness, and though Raphe felt bad for the prop and people that worked hard to make it, he still couldn't stop grinning all day. It was obvious Raphe could be mean if he wanted to.
He looked down at right when she tiptoed and kissed him; Raphe could tell it was different than the usual kiss they would share... It was not sexual or anything, instead it was sweet, gentle, and... dare he say, full of love? He pulled her closer to him with one hand while the other raised up to cradling her face. He stroke her cheek with his thumb as he kissed her back, pouring all the feelings he had for her in that one kiss and hoped she would understand it too.

When the kiss was broken she continued to stare into his beautiful eyes, knowing now that somehow through that kiss, the message was clear. "Raph... I love you." She admitted, even though she felt that he already knew. She planted her feet back on the ground, but kept her arms draped around the mans neck. This by far has been one of the best nights of her life. And it hadn't even begun yet.
Raph was seven years older than she was. Did Xiamora care? Not even in the slightest. Raph's age never bothered her. They stilled had things in common and still had a connection, so why let something so minor damper their friendship, and now maybe, their relationship. As long as both parties are happy, that's all that mattered. Besides, it was only seven years. It's not like it was seventeen. Then it might be a little weird.d

Raphael smiled as he heard Xia told him that she loved him. It sounded like the rightest thing to be spoken about, that she loved him. That sounded like a choir of angels for his ear. And the best part was that he loved her too! He stroke her face and planted a small kiss on her forehead. "I love you too, Xia" he told her, smiling so bright now.
He looked down at her, trying to read her mind, before he grinned and whispered to her ear, his lips brushed teasingly against her sensitive skin as he did so, "I told you... your boyfriend a lucky man" he breathed, before he too kissed her ear.

Okay, so maybe this happy ending stuff wasn't complete bullshit. She confessed her love for the man, and he replied back with the exact response that she wanted to hear. They had been friends for so long, and some what lovers, so to anyone else this may not have come as a surprise. But to her, it wasn't something she expected at all. This was no where near the end though, so there could still be no happy ending. But for now she was content. Raph loved her, and she loved Raph. Whatever came in the future was going to come whether she worried about it or not. Might as well just live for the now.
Xia giggled at the comment he made next. "Yeah, I guess he is." She smiled. Boyfriend. That sounded weird. Xiamora was dating Raphael Fraizer. One of the most well known models out there. She was the lucky one. But Raph was more than just a model. He was a wonderful man who treated her like royalty. All of his fame hadn't gone to his head and for that she was extremely lucky. Things couldn't be any better in her life right now.

When he prepared to come here, Raphael only expecting to pick her up and then have dinner somewhere with her after a movie. He did not plan to tell her how he felt, nor that he knew she would feel the same about him. They had been friends for long but yet he had no idea that Xia loved him! He couldn't stop smiling while she was there in his arms and oh the way she giggled at his words!
Raphe didn't think he would ever be bored of this young lady; she was so fine, so adorable, yet she was also a responsible young woman that knew what she wanted... Not to mention she was gorgeous! He knew he was so lucky to be able to loved by this young woman... Now all he needed was to get to know her inside better. He knew things about her, yes, but only a little about her background, her family or where she was from, but he was blind about what she wanted for the future and stuffs like that.
He cupped her face with his hand and put his forehead against hers, the smile was still there on his lips as he searched for her gorgeous eyes. He didn't know what to say now, and he didn't think there was anything needed to be said; the moment was too perfect to be broken by anything... It was what he had been waiting for, to have his arms filled again. To love again.

With one last quick kiss the girl moved away from the man, taking his hand and leading him into the living room. She couldn't wait for the food to arrive. Her stomach was grumbling. "So, what movie did you pick out? Or could you not decide?" She inquired, taking her place on the couch. If he did pick something, hopefully it wasn't something too serious. She was in the mood for either some comedy, or horror. Action was fine, but not something that was only filled with cars blowing up and flipping over, and no story line what so ever.
Xia didn't watch movies all the time. If a friend invited heer out to see one she would go, but there was very few movies that she actually looked forward to coming out in the theatres or on video. She watched a lot of TV shows, and often got the season DVDs when they came out. But movies? Not so much. Not that she didn't like movies, she just wasn't a huge fanatic like alot of people she knew.
Xia looked up at her new guy and smiled. She just kissed him a few minutes ago, and already her lips were longing to taste him yet again. She felt like a child. Some teenager who had her very first boyfriend. It was weird how love made you feel so young, and refreshed. It was nice to have these feelings again.
