Chapter 3

Harmony woke up early. She wanted to look for her man, she couldn’t wait to see him again, to feel him, to touch him again. She missed him like hell. She didn’t even take breakfast and went straight to the streets. She thought it would be easy, all she had to do was to ask someone where Wimbledon stadium was and that was it. Soon she realized no one wanted to talk to a stranger. She spotted a tourism point and went there to ask for a map of the city.

Meanwhile Rafael was at his room in the house him and Feliciano rented.
“Are you going out?” Feli asked.
“Yup, going to have breakfast with my uncle. I think he’s already waiting for me, I’m a tad late. Adios.” He grabbed his tennis bag and walked away. Rafa was wearing a white t-shirt with big letters that said “Kiss my ace” and blue pirates. The tournament driver was already waiting for him with the Mercedes Benz. The traffic was intense, Rafa was getting impatient.
“Hey, I’ll leave here. I’ll reach the restaurant faster if I walk!” he said getting out.

Harmony was walking with her nose stuck on the map. She didn’t understand a thing. Too many roads, too many signs but she managed to spot the stadium, she only had to find a way to get there.
“Ermm excuse me… could you tell me how to I get here?” she asked to student looking guy, pointing to the map.
“I’ll only tell if you give me your phone number…” he said with a big cheesy smile.
“Ass!” she replied and kept walking.

Veronica was on the phone to one of her friends that had worked for Roland Garros. She was telling her plan to conquer Feliciano and how she would have fun doing it.
“Ohh Rafael? The Rafael Nadal? Sorry, he’s not available.”
“What do you mean he’s not available? I’ve checked every magazine, I even gave a look at VR, his website and he isn’t taken.”
“He is. I saw him together with this girl for quite some times. They went together to his hotel room, you think what? They were going to play cards? He’s got a girl.”
“Well, I’ll make him not have one anymore!”
“You’re evil Nica!”

Rafael was running all the way to the restaurant and Harmony was walking in circles, she was totally lost. Rafa was turning a corner and BANG! He knocked someone down.
“Oh sorry… HARMONY?!?”
“Rafa!”

“Harmony is that really you?” He asked with a shocked look on his face. She got up and jumped in his arms with a smile. He was happy to see her but he was confused. He put his arms around her and hugged her tight!
“So did you guess what yet?” She asked against his cheek. He held her face and put on that smile that always melted her.
“Hmm that you’re in London?!!”
“Uh hun, hehe! Oh god I missed you”
“I ..I missed you too” he replied and she kissed him. She felt he wasn’t too much into the kiss. She stopped kissing him.
“What? What’s the matter? Are you not happy to see me?”
“Are you kidding?!! You have no idea how happy I am. But Harmony…you’re supposed to be in school.” He let go of her and ran his hands through his hair.
“And?” She replied.
“AND…I don’t want you to mess up your education just for me!” he replied. She knew he was right. She knew messing up her education was not a smart idea…infact a stupid idea, but she couldn’t help it! She just had to see him and now that she was here there was no turning back because now that he was standing in front of her she realised just how much she missed him. But she didn’t want him to constantly worry about it while she was here so she decided to tell a little white lie. She smiled and put her arms around him…..
“Oh silly I didn’t just leave school, haha! We have a 3 week break and I decided the only way to spend it was with you. Everyone knows I’m here. So would you stop worrying and kiss me like I know you can campéon”
“Are you sure?”
“Oh for god sakes Rafa! Don’t make me buy roller skates and bump into you harder than before”
“Ok ok I believe you baby. Ah, I’m sooooo happy you’re here baby” he lifted her off the ground and kissed her the way she knew he could.

“oh my god”
“What?”
“Look at that! That’s Nadal isn’t it? My friend was right, he does have a girl. S*it.” Veronica said.
“Ooh they look like they’re desperately in need of a shag, haha! Oh well guess that you’ll have to find another way to get close to Feli”
“With who? He’s his closest friend. They’re sharing a house together, they know a lot about eachother..no no Rafael is the only way! Besides look at that chica..she ain’t all that! All that needs to happen is for Rafael to take one look at me and I’ll have him wrapped around my finger” she raised an eyebrow.
“For god sakes aren’t there any other boys in your area??”
“None that look like Feli that’s for sure. And I’ll do whatever it takes to get at least one night with him before he gets knocked off early like usual, hehe. Comeon let’s go we’re late” she said and they walked off; all the while looking back, with a mischievous look, at Rafael and Harmony who were still in each other arms.
