Vienna was sitting with the girls in the safe room temporarily the girls were placed at. Vienna knew the wait was over and Tristan had come for her... Vienna had her back to the door but of course with the reactions on faces of the girls she noticed Tristan was coming to her. The girls normally went quiet suddenly as they looked up when he approached vienna. If they said anything that wasnt fit for the queen to hear in Tristan's view the girls were going to regret it. Recently after what Tristan had done to the cycling team the girls were afraid of Tristan more so than even the boys. No one was immune from Tristan. He didnt care if he dealt with girls or boys. They all suffered with no exceptions.

As Vienna saw the horrified and cautious look in the girls' eyes and she saw the king walking towards her.

Vienna wanted to make life easy for the girls so she stood up and walked towards Tristan so they didn't have to be intimidated by him. He seriously had put the fear of god into the girls' hearts with how harshly he had treated the girls cycling team. She hadn't even been hurt on that bike ride but still the team was punished knowing his rules about her not trying extreme sports.

Vienna reached him and stopped in front of him. She looked up into his eyes " Where is Viggo?"

Tristan frowned " I promised to protect your brother. Didn't I? He is safe. He is waiting in my father's office like the rest of the boys until my father makes his entrance...."

Vienna breathed " What about Vincenzo?"

Tristan shrugged " Probably very busy with other matters..." What was he supposed to tell her? That her big brother had thrown a sack on Juliano's head and had tied him to a chair torturing him as they spoke alongside other Rosarios. Vincenzo was going to make the Luciano sorry but not enough. Since Juliano was a guest they weren't meant to hurt him but the Rosarios were going to tell him off and remind him where to keep his hands. He already had a chat with Juliano while he had water boarded him. Juliano had been playing unfairly and deserved to be treated unfairly people ganging up on him. But he knew this was not the last of him. Luciano was a feral creature obsessed with Tiziana. He was dangerous. Only Andreas was the Rosario he could count on. The boys hadn't even told Andreas what they were doing to his girlfriend's brother. Andreas wasn't going to take julianos side but he was going to ask them to be more diplomatic which they were to be honest. This was as diplomatic as they got with someone who had forced a Rosario to kiss him.

Vienna nodded " Ok. Can we girls go back to the party?"

Tristan asked " Do you want to go back to the party? I think not... The marquee outside is about to be set up. Once my father deals with the boys they will be sent out there with girls so we can take some pictures... For now we have time to hang out... That's why I came here to get you,.. To take you for a walk about. Is that ok?"

Vienna nodded " Ok... But I am abit worried about my brothers... what if they hurt each other?"

Tristan took her hand in his " They are on two different sides of this hotel. Trust me. Your big brother won't go after your twin. I had a talk with him up there and when we were ... busy with something else just now. He is leaving it to your father. He doesn't have a choice...." He then lead Vienna away to the door as he held onto her hand.

Vienna was looking down " I am scared... My father would be angry with Viggo...."

Tristan shook his head as he lead her through corridors " Your brother is stronger than he looks. He is stubborn. That's for sure. He is just realising I am on his side and I want to protect you and nothing else. It takes him so long to accept us but finally it happened. Your brother is quite a tough character. Whatever happens he can handle it Vienna... But I have a feeling the issues will be resolved before even your father gets here from his head office... Your uncle Antonio was called in by my mother. Your uncle knows the parents committee at the school. He has the Andovini family in a room negotiating with them. If andovinis have no complaints it should be fine... Even years ago when your uncle was in trouble it was all because he had a womaniser reputation hovering around him even in his teenage days... Andivinis don't have a fight with the Rosario kids. Their fight is with adults. Your brother is no womaniser so according to your uncle Antonio there is no issue... Apparently your uncle told Viggo that the only solution to survive a forbidden relationship is abstinence:.. If you prove you are faithful even your enemy respects you..." He then laughed. "Your uncle Antonio is really a literature major too as well a lawyer. He said in his Romeo and Juliet essay he wrote that if Romeo wasn't unfaithful and didn't have Rosalie's name hovering around him, he would have gotten himself his girl for sure and Juliet would have been handed over to him by his in laws if they thought he was serious... Well... That's how much he thinks faithfulness matters... now he does of course..."

Vienna found herself at a deserted bar that was at the back of the hotel. She looked up at Tristan " What are we doing here?"

Tristan let go of her hand " We are here to talk while we are waiting... Take a seat at the bar."

Vienna walked to the bar and then sat down. Tristan went to the other side and picked up two glasses. He was behind the counter so Vienna couldn't see what he was making exactly. He mixed drinks from so many bottles together. He then put one glass in front of her and one in front of himself. He leaned closer as he was standing behind the counter. He was looking down at her with his tall figure towering over her sitting firm on s chair behind the counter.

Tristan stated her down as he looked st her thoughtfully " Would you like to drink what I have made you?"

Vienna slowly reached for the drink " Ok. What is it?"

Tristan shook his head " You are questioning me even about a drink I give you. Come on Vienna. We have been through this." He then picked up his glass and drank it in one go making Vienna gasp. He then jumped over the counter and ended up standing in front of her " Why do you keep questioning me about everything? If you trust me with your drink then what's stopping you?"

Vienna carefully picked up the drink " I don't know what's in it." But she took sips from the drink. As she realised how heavenly it tasted she drank it faster which made him smile. He reached his hand up and stroked her cheek as she was drinking " I love it when you drink ... I love it that you drink a cocktail that my hands made for you... This is how it should be Vienna. I want you to not hesitate to take anything from me. You should take my advice. You should take my drinks and anything else I give you..." He then thought to himself " And of course you will take my name one day.. You will be Vienna O'Neil ... My wife... I can't wait... The last time you will be Vienna Rosario would be at the church where your father would give you away to me, to have and to hold."

Vienna became self conscious and blushed as she was drinking and his eyes were staring intensely into hers. She would have given anything to know what he was thinking.

Once Vienna put down the glass she smiled politely " Thank you. It was really tasty."

Tristan replied " Not really. It's not that tasty...." He then thought to himself " Nothing compares to the taste of your lips.

Vienna smiled " It does taste nice... To me.., Tristan..." She then thought to herself " Because you made it..." She noticed him visibly relax when she mentioned his name. 

He smiled " Vienna... I was hoping to ask you something... Would you mind dancing with me here... I like dancing with you alone... Do you think you can dance with me here?" He wanted to see if she didn't mind being abit more intimate with him. Dancing in public was too formal for Tristan. He preferred to dance alone so he could let it go and truly dance. So he explained truthfully " I don't want to dance in public the way that is for my eyes only..."

Vienna wasn't sure what he meant but she did trust him so she nodded " That sounds fine..."

Tristan walked to the juke box and played a song. He then walked to Vienna and didn't waste a moment as he reached her. He wrapped his arms around her as he lifted her off the high chair at the bar that she was sitting at. Vienna found herself right in front of him inches apart that made her breathless.

Tristan took her hands in his and slowly moved leading her in the tango. She inhaled the scent on her hair as he whispered " You only belong to me Vienna ... Remember that..."

Vienna looked up into his eyes as they were dancing " Tristan ... Why do you keep reminding me who I belong to?"

Tristan replied " Because Vienna... I am a guy... I am very jealous... If you don't believe you belong to me, I would have to remind you..."

Vienna asked " How? How would you remind me?"

Tristan retorted " Probably I will first give you a kiss..." He then leaned closer and cautiously brushed his lips against hers. When he didn't feel any resistance he attached his lips to hers. That made them both stop dancing. Tristan moved his lips against hers gently as she was finding herself overwhelmed. As Vienna took a step backwards because it was getting too much to handle, Tristan broke apart and shrugged " Now you see, why I like to dance with you alone... We can't kiss up there. Can we? Not like this." But he also liked how he had her hands in his not allowing her to run away. He liked having her all to himself. He was selfish. He didn't even want her to leave him to go home but he had to wait until she was old enough to move in with him. He counted the days to live with her under the same roof. The thought of being in the same room as her made him feel so excited. That sounded like heaven, being able to stare at his girl all day every day... Once he had her, he wasn't going to let her go .

Vienna blushed and looked away " Tristan... Can we ... change the song?"

Tristan knew she was just too shy and was overwhelmed. She wanted an excuse to get away and he called her out on that " Oh don't you think I know you are trying to take a break? You want to avoid me ... You can't avoid me Vienna. You are mine Vienna. No matter where you hide or run.. No matter how hard you try to avoid my emotions for you. You don't like it when I declare to you how much you mean to me... I know you are shy. But get used to it Vienna. Because this is only the beginning." He then reluctantly let go of her hand and walked to the juke box. He played another song and turned around.

Vienna couldn't understand why he was smiling in a mischievous way as he was walking towards her. She was glad she had some space. Now she could breath. His kisses always made her breathless and she always needed recovery time to pull herself together.

Tristan stood in front of her and took her hands in his again as he lead her in another tango. He then stated " You know, I had this fantasy in my head that when I turned around you were going to hide. Maybe I thought you liked abit of hide and seek."

Vienna gasped. How did he know. The thought of hiding had crossed her mind. He was so perfect but too much perfection made it hard to endure... Ut was getting easier to get used to his presence. Her urge to run and hide was not as high as it used to be but still sometimes she did think of hiding. She declared " Tristan.... Stop teasing me..."

Tristan retorted " Oh. You are the one teasing me. When you say my name like that, you drive me crazy. You are the one teasing... "

The couple danced for a while in silence and stared into each other's eyes thinking hard.

Tristan was the one who broke the silence " Vienna... I need you to understand this ... In future there will be times when I will be asking you to do something and I don't want you to do the opposite like you did today. Vienna sometimes you need to fight for what you believe in and I understand that but it doesn't mean you must do it alone. I never want you to face anyone like your brothers alone... I gave you an instruction today and you refused to act. I don't want you to get hurt Vienna. Can you understand that? I want you to be away from danger or if you are close, you should face it with me."

Vienna breathed " I am sorry... But I just thought I should do something..."

Tristan nodded " I know... But I want you to trust me too. Do you trust me?"

Vienna replied " Yes. Of course ..."

Tristan took a deep breath " Thank you... That's all I want to know... Now here is what I think... You always say you trust me but you sometimes commit to actions that proves the opposite. So it shows you don't trust me when it comes to action..."

Vienna gasped " I do trust you."

Tristan declared " sometimes  you do. Sometimes you don't. Do you want me to test it out?"

Vienna was defensive " By all means do... I do trust you..."

Tristan asked " You want to bet?"

Vienna stated " Yes..."

Tristan stated " So tell me, if I test you tonight and you show me that you don't trust me, does that mean I can make you ...  pay with a punishment?"

Vienna gasped " A punishment?"

Tristan nodded " Yes.

Vienna asked " Why?"

Tristan stated " Because Vienna, crime comes with punishment. You are my girl. If you don't trust me then I would have to prove it to you... "

Vienna declared " You don't need to prove to me. I do trust you..."

Tristan looked thoughtful. He then stated firmly " Really? So if I told you I might have taken you away from that room right now for a reason, would you understand? If I told you, my people are showing a recording of what would happen if anyone messes with you to the girls while you are down here would you understand? Do you trust me and my reasonings?"

Vienna gasped " But you already made a statement. When you beat up the girls? How can you need to remind anyone? Tristan you go too far..."

Tristan stated " They need reminder... You are my girl. They should be careful with you... Today when Juliano caused mayhem some of the kids in school may think it's open season. They may think they can have a shot at us... Ao they need reminders... So here we go Vienna. You said you trust me and I know you do but you question me... So let me think.... how can I ... punish you?"

Vienna gulped as she felt his stare on her. It was playful " Don't worry. I make it easy this time.... Will you draw a picture of me on that chalk board ... next to you?"

Vienna turned to look at where he was pointing. The chalk board was covering one half of the wall behind the bar.

Tristan explained " This bar belongs to me actually. My father built it for me to do what I wish with it after I turn 18. I am meant to hold my 18th birthday here if I wish it but I would rather keep it deserted... If you draw us together I would never wipe it off the chalk board."

Vienna gasped and turned to him " Realky? You would never let anyone wipe it."

Tristan took her hand in his " Anything that your hand draws I want to keep." He then thought to himself " I would keep all the drawings by your hand my queen... Especially this one... Once we get married and have children maybe you can draw our kids around us." He then cleared his throat " If possible draw us in the middle please leaving some blank space around us."
