Arriving Rome(Catriona)

[Catriona]

When Catriona walked, she felt someting unfamiliar. It was then she saw him and when she screamed, she fell back on the floor. She kept the sheets that fell with her wrapped around her as she looked around, "Oh god..." she said softly, "Please tell me you didn't...I didn't...we didn't?.." She said the last one more as a question as she could tell he two was naked. "Oh lord-how did this happen?" When she saw his mouth open she silenced him, "I mean I know how it happened but- I can't stay here," she said, obviously flustered. She rummaged through the chest, still holding the sheet and searching for some clothes. Her brother would kill her if he knew, she couldn't stay here, not another night.

[Proximo]

By the sudden reaction Catriona made when she woke up and found out what had happened, he curiously and worried watched her stand. He knew how dangerous it was if anyone knew, although he hoped no one else would discover it. She surely was beautiful and all, but doing what they had done in drunk condition was not what he wanted. Careful and slowly he moved closer as she tried to hide her body behind the blankets, he did not want her to be scared."No, please. Don't go..."He begged, wanting her to stay. "I`m sorry, it should not have happened...but it did. We can not stop the past, please don't leave."He continued, wondering if she now would get dress and leave Rome. If she decided to return home, it probably meant they never would see each other again.

[Catriona]

Cat stopped and she sighed and shook her head, "I'm sorry Proximo, and I'm not mad at you, we were drunk, but you understand the risk of my staying. What if something happened? It's risky enough now. What if I get with child? What do you want me to say? That I was raped? I'm sorry but I can't stay here," she told him as she quickly put on some clothes and putting her things in her bag. "I have no doubt in my mind that we will meet again so do not fret about that, I just think-it might be good for me to go back home. Perhaps I am not ready to see new cultures yet," she told him as she finished up packing her things. "And I won't tell anyone, I promise."

[Proximo]

When Catriona answered and spoke in hurry that she could not stay cause of him as well by the things that had happened, he understood he could not stop her from doing what she wished. He did not like that she had to leave so soon, but still he hoped they would meet again. It surely was big risk she might had become pregnant by the deeds that had taken place, thought he hoped that would not happen as dangerous for both it would be. As she was packing, he did not know anything else to do then watch. With few steps he came closer, answering as she was finished."I am sorry, this was not my intention. "He spoke with a kind voice, but moved to get something he had hidden. When he came back, he handed over a package which included a nice dress he hoped she would like."At least take this gift before you go, I want you to have it." It was a Roman dress, along with jewelry she could wear. He hoped she would accept it." Please believe me when i say I did not want this."He continued speaking, wanting her to understand it was not with purpose.

[Catriona]

Cat looked up at him and took the package. She sat on the edge of the bed and opened it. Her eyes sparkled at it's beauty and she hugged him, "Thank you, they are beautiful," she said and then she kissed him, this time with intention, "I trust you Proximo, more than you know. I know this was not your intention, I just want to go home, that way if something happens, you are not to blame," she told him and then she packed the dress and jewelry in with other things. "I know I'll se you again," she said, "And tell my guard I feel ill, I'll get our horses," she said and then she walked out the door to return home.

[Proximo]

Proximo looked at Catriona with pity and care as she opened the package he gave, he was glad she liked it although she still had to leave. After she gave him a short kiss and was finished speaking, he in return answered."Yes, alright. I will tell your guard you feel ill, take care princess."He said with a smile, then suddenly she left the room. Proximo trusted her words when she told they would meet again, even he did not know when that would be. Hopefully everything would go well on her journey back home, without danger appearing or anything else. Many thoughts now went on inside his mind, but prayed to Jupiter that all would go well.

(Guess we stop it here eh?)
