"Well..."he looked at her perfect glistening eyes, he caught his breath slightly and then continued,"I have just arrived at court with my younger sister, Elizabeth,"he smiled at her trying to think of what else to say,"What else do you wish to know?"

Without realising he leaned a little closer to her, her perfect eyes drew him in...

While he was talking,she saw his wonderful lips and teeth. When he finished his words , she turned her eyes to his eyes.

"Are you married , my lord? And , if you wish, you can ask me the thing that you want to know too."

She smiled widely this time. Then,she took the hair which fell down to her eyes,and put it in to her blonde hair again.

He smiled,"No...but I hope soon to be married...I just need to find the right woman,"he winked playfully at her as she fixed her golden hair.

"And what of you, are you married?"he smiled warmly at her...

"No my lord.. I am waiting , too. Actually i am not living here. I am an Italien. I don't know you realize.. My accent is a little bit different."

She smiled in a shy way.

"I did notice...la mia dolce signora,"he smiled at her, when she spoke he could feel his heart beat a little faster.

"Where do you live then, my lady, Have you only came to court for a short while?"

"I live in Genoa , my lord. I think you should come and visit me in there. My Genoa is perfect. Our life isn't as complicated as here. Also we have the best wines."

She smiled. She didn't realize he was leaning to her. But she could realize that she was doing the same thing.

"I would like that, but I do hope that you do not leave for a while...I would like to get to know you better,"

He couldn't help but look at her beautiful lips, his heart was still beating fast just looking at her. He smiled charmingly and leaned in, he now knew he leaned in...

"Don't worry my lord.. I don't think i will go before i know you better.."

She giggled.

He was curious about this beautiful creature,"So what else should I know about you?"

"I don't know my lord.. Whatever you wish to know."

She smiled again by looking at the sky.

"Well how long have you been at court, did you grow up in Genoa?"

He smiled overwhelmed with her beauty, he then added teasingly,"...Do you have in mind any suitors?"

"Actually i came here 6 months ago. But i went to Genoa again. I've been at court for a month , I guess. And yes, I grew up in Genoa. I love here."

Then she laughed a little after his words.

"No , my lord. I don't think so. I have no suitors.."

She looked at him in a shy way again.

"Oh i do find that hard to believe. A lady who posses beauty such as yours would surely have men fighting for your hand..."

He smiled looking at her glistering eyes. His heart was still beating faster-she was having some sort of effect on him that he had never felt before...

"I can make you sure that i have no men to fight for me."

She smiled. Now,they were closer and they were looking at each other. But there were clouds in the sky now. It was like it would be rain.

He noticed it was getting colder and clouds were now looming in the sky. He removed his ermine lined coat and put it around her shoulders.

"Perhaps you have one..." he whispered and winked a little. She was beautiful, he had to catch his breath when he spoke with her...

When he put his coat around her shoulders she smiled and whispered.

"Thanks , my lord."

After she heard his words she opened her eyes curiously and teasingly.

"I wonder who he is."

She smiled teasingly again.

"But you didn't talk about the womens who are suitable for you? I think every women desire you,my lord."

"I think not my lady...and even if they did I don't have a thorn of affection them, there is a particular rose that I seek,"he smiled teasingly.

She smiled.

"Then,I hope you can find your rose,my lord."

He caresses her smooth cheek gently and smiles. He could not believe her beauty.

"Perhaps I have..."

She looked at his eyes directly and smiled.

"Then,she is very lucky.."

He smiled and kept his hand on her cheek,"Will you let me kiss you? For the early morning rose would wither on the branch if it could feel envy for thy lips are more beautiful."

She smiled after his beautiful words.

"After these words,how can i say no? And,refusing this offer can be regretful for me , my lord."

He smiled and leaned closer, his hand gently caressed down from her back where he held her closer to him. His face reached hers and he gently pressed his moist lips against hers.

He then looked at her. Overwhelmed by her beauty, he sat closer to her and wrapped two of his arms around her delicate frame.

He now kissed her gently again but with more passion...

When he kissed her she felt like she was flying on the clouds. It's been a very long time since she felt something like this. But in this time , the person who kissed her was very gentle. He was like he was afraid of making mistakes. Alfonsina kissed him back with the same passion. While they were kissing , one of her hands was caressing his cheek.

He smiled beneath the kiss as he felt her gentle touch.
"Thou art more beautiful than all others..."

He kissed her back, embracing her warmly in his strong arms...
