Feliciano, having been gone from home with his boss for three weeks already, devised a plan to surprise his girlfriend when he got home. He planned it out, knowing that his flight would arrive back in Rome around three A.M. the following day. That was early for him to be up at any rate. And he knew that Louise woke early, but never that early.
Feliciano had decided that, that night when he arrived, he would be as silent as possible getting into the house, and sneak into bed with Louise so when she woke up, he was lying next to her. She'll be so excited! He thought happily.
The Italian was just getting to the airport as his phone rang. He looked at the small screen. It was Louise, of course.
"Morning, Louise." He greeted, cheerfully. He hid his tiredness at any rate.
"...Evening, Feli." came the response. Oh, right, the time difference. Made no difference to him. It'd still be late enough when he got home.
Feliciano laughed a bit. "So, why'd you call?" He began walking towards the front desk to get his reserved ticket.
"I wanted to talk to you. Besides, the time difference..."
"I know, I know. Lou. I'll be home before you know it. I'm in the airport right now." Feliciano smiled wide. He was practically shaking with excitement at seeing his German girlfriend again.
"Look, I'll call you back later when I get a chance, alright?" Feliciano needed to take care of things in the airport at the moment.
Louise sighed into the phone, "Alright. Please do." She paused a moment. "I miss you."
Feliciano smiled silently for a moment. "I miss you, too. I love you, Louise."
"...I love you too."
They exchanged goodbyes before hanging up, and Feliciano stuck his cell phone back into his pocket with a sigh.
The plane ride was tiring, and Feliciano knew he'd have jet lag. He couldn't sleep well on planes at all, and the fact that his boss was checking up on him every few minutes didn't help. He wanted to get home and curl up in his bed next to Louise and sleep until two pm. He didn't get the chance to when he went off with his boss. No siestas, either. The brunette did his best to sleep, even a little, while he was on the plane to Rome.
The plane landed, waking Feliciano from his doze. "Mmmph.." He mumbled something to himself in Italian, then proceeded to follow orders and get his luggage and find a taxi. His boss was headed to his own home, and didn't need Feliciano to escort him.
The taxi ride was tiring as well. Feliciano caught himself almost falling asleep on the way home, but managed to stay awake.
The taxi pulled up to his home, and he paid the fare. "Grazie, sir." He said, nodding to the driver. He pulled his bags from the back of the car and pulled them to his house, quietly unlocking and opening the door.
The bags were set down in the living room. He'd unpack later. He just wanted sleep.
Silently as possible, the Italian made his way up the stairs and down the hallway to the bedroom he and Louise shared. He drowsily smiled. He was home, and was going to see Louise again.
He opened the door slowly, peering in. Louise was asleep, one hand hanging off the side of the bed, her cell phone dropped to the floor. That's right, Feliciano had promised he'd call.
He noted to himself to apologize, then crept to the bed. He leaned down when he neared Louise, smiling as he looked her face over. She was much less intimidating as she slept. Most countries feared her strictness, but Feliciano had woven a way into her heart.
Feliciano began to lean back up when he felt a sudden pain on his jaw. "A-ah!" He yelped, falling backwards.
"Freaking burglar! Staring at me while I sleep, you're such a creep!" Louise yelled, getting up. She didn't know that Feliciano was home!
"L-Louise! It's me!" He yelped, backing away slowly, then flipped the light switch on.
"You little--" She stopped. "Oh, Feliciano... Oh, dear, I'm so sorry!" She said, eyes widened. "I didn't expect you home until later... " She mumbled, and hung her head.
"It's okay. I just wanted to surprise you..." Feliciano laughed softly, holding his jaw. He stepped forward, putting an arm around Louise and pulling her close. Louise buried her face into his chest, mumbling. "I'm sorry, though. I didn't mean to hurt you... oh, what a way to greet you after you've been gone for so long!" She laughed a bit, then looked up at him.
"I've really missed you." She sighed.
Feliciano kissed her forehead, a smile on his lips. "I missed you too." He yawned suddenly, then realized how tired he was. "H-how about we go to sleep...?" the Italian suggested. Louise simply took his hand and lead him to their bed. "Sounds nice..."
Feliciano lay down with her, holding her close and he drifted into sleep. The lights were still on, but he could care less.
Louise cuddled into Feliciano's chest once again, falling asleep with him.
