Ross's POV
"So you won't tell me where are we going?" I ask her for a thousand time.
"God Ross don't be such a child" she giggles what makes me smile.
We drive for more five minutes. 'Do It Again' comes on the radio and I start tapping on the steering wheel my fingers while singing.
"Sing with me" I sing without taking my eyes from the road.
She crawls into a ball as she shakes her head and looks out of the window.
"Come on Ani." I whine "Sing with me" I stop the car and look at her direction.
"I can't sing Ross" she murmurs while playing with her fingers.
I chuckle. I've always liked the way she plays with her fingers when she's nervous.
"Oh come on. Everyone can sing" I demand "My heart's lonely without you" I sing as I lean closer to her.
"Ross stop!" She squeals as she looks away.
"My eyes only see you and me" I continue as she buries her head in her knees.
"Stupid thinking about you" now I whisper in her ear and she pushes me away.
"Ross Shor Lynch stop it" she shouts, trying to hold her laughter.
I continue singing, amused with her behavior "It's hard hard. Cause you make me feel good."
"Are you done" she asks and now I can't feel any amusement in her voice. She's sad?
"What's wrong?" I ask as I turn to her and place my head on the seat.
"Nothing" she murmurs with her head placed on her knees while looking out of the window.
"Ani what's wrong?" I beg for an answer. Something's wrong with her and I need to find out what.
"Nothing's wrong Ross. Just drive" she says quietly and I let out a heavy sigh as I start driving.
She's been silent for the whole way and I can't help but sneak gazes into her direction. The way she's sitting there all tensed makes my heart melt. I know that she won't tell me what's wrong with her if she's not ready for it and all I can do is to be a good friend.
I sneak my hand into her direction and grab it before intertwining it with mine. My action at first surprises her but then she does the same with me and there's a comfortable silence until we reach our destination.
"We're here" I say as I look at her. She smiles a fake smile and gets off.
The feel of curiosity burns my stomach from inside. What happened? Did I offend her? But I still decide to keep my mouth closed until she decided to tell me everything.
I look around. There's a big church, Duomo, I guess in front of us. It's pretty late what means that it will be closed. But Ani walks to it's direction and stops to the main door.
"It's night sweetheart. Don't you think it's too late for praying?" I ask as I look at her. She stays quiet until she knocks.
"Are you sure that..." A voice of an iron door interrupts me before we came face to face with a smiling blondie.
"Chris" Ani beams as she engulfs him into a gentle hug.
"Hi Ani. Haven't seen you for a long time" he hugs her back.
"May we come in?" She asks him before he steps aside so we can go in.
The church is enormous. Probably one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. The candles are still burning and I see that no ones in except three of us.
"Beautiful huh?" Ani elbows me. I look at her and nod.
"You haven't seen the roof yet" Chrostopher's voice pops up from nowhere.
"Yeah about that." Ani runs her hands into her brown hair. "May we go upstairs? I mean that place where tourists are not allowed. I want to show Ross something" she says and I feel how her whole body tenses. Probably because she's nervous so I do what I always do and intertwine my hands with hers.
At first Christopher furrows his eyebrows but after a few seconds his face gentles and he nods in agreement.
"Only because you asked me to" he grins and I can't help but look at Ani who's blushing.
Is something going on between two of them?
I feel how my body tenses and I clench my fists in the pockets so no one can see that. I'm jealous.
But I'm not allowed to be jealous but I am and this drives me crazy. Maybe it's because of the memories we shared together? Yeah that's it. I will continue convincing myself that I'm jealous only because we've been dating once. No more feelings attached.
"You know where to go right?"
"Yes" Ani nods.
We walk on the stairs and finally reach the top of the church.
The view is breathtaking.The scenery on the rooftop is extraordinary, not to mention the architecture and the wind blowing on your face. This is one of the most amazing places I've ever visited in my life.
"This is one of my favorite places. No one knows about this part of the roof. Except Christopher and me." She says as she leans on railings.
"I feel special now" I joke as I walk closer to her.
"You are special Ross" she looks in my eyes and smiles.
