Antonio squirmed in his chair, it had only been a week since their first meeting and here he was, ready to profess his love for her.

What the hell was he thinking?

He glanced at his watch, only five more minutes and she would come swaggering in. How exactly was he going to convey his feelings? What if she didn't understand the equation?

The usually calm Spaniard was freaking out! Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, he smoothed his pants again and again, wiping his sweaty palms, imagining the countless possibilities that might happen. Then it struck him.

What if she didn't even like him?

Despite being in the library, he screamed out in confusion. A librarian nearby shot him a dirty look and put her index finger to her mouth to signal him to keep it down. He ruffled his wavy brown hair in frustration and sprawled onto the table.

"Hey!"

Antonio felt a file hit him hard on the head.

"Ouch! Hey! Watch it!" Antonio lifted his head up and his eyes met with those of a beautiful Italian.

"Oh! Err…Hey! You made it! Come here and have a seat! Did you complete your homework?" the Spaniard stuttered out, looking sheepishly.

"Yeah of course I did Bastard!" Romina replied gruffly, handing her homework to him.

"Oh…okay…. Do this now!" Antonio stuttered again and handed THE worksheet to Romina.

Romina eyed the Spaniard suspiciously and took the worksheet, "There's something wrong with you today bastard and it's making me feel uncomfortable." And she walked to the other side of the table, settling directly in front of Antonio.

Antonio tried to concentrate on marking Romina's worksheet but sadly to no avail. He was still freaking out, what if Romina would be pissed at his equation? He constantly stole glances at her, hoping to see her reaction the moment her saw his equation.

Romina happened to notice the Spaniard's furtive glances. What the hell was he doing being so secretive? Does he think he's some kind of spy or something? The Spaniard in front of her was being weird today. She glanced at the worksheet, 'Carbonates', piece of cake! She started to do the worksheet, dreaming of the tomato pie Venecia had promised her that day, it was her birthday that day. Romina finished the questions quickly; it was a mystery why it was so easy. Maybe it was because she had put in effort to study the night before, hoping to impress him with her knowledge on Carbonates.

Then, she went on to the last question.

And she froze.

A+R=

Antonio gulped loudly and Romina lifted her head and shot him a glare.

"What the hell is this?" She screamed, "You trying to be funny or something?"

Antonio shuffled sheepishly with his head down, "No…of course not….I don't know how to say this….but…I think I've fallen for you…."

Romina felt her face warm up, was Antonio really confessing his love for her?

"So…please complete the equation to answer my question querida." The Spaniard lifted up his head and smiled brightly at her.

She looked at the equation one more time.

A+R=

Suddenly, the image of the ring from her dream flashed in her mind.

A+V

Could it really be that he just wanted to get back with Venecia?

Antonio seeing Romina silent for almost a minute made him jittery, he laughed nervously, "So, what do you say Vene..oops, I mean Romi? Ahaha you two just look so similar! So..what do you say? Hmmm..."

Vene

He almost called her by the foul name.

That minor slip up just confirmed her suspicions.

She crunched the worksheet into a ball and hurled it at Antonio.

"Don't f*ck with me! You just want to get back with my sister by using me! All this is just a frickin' show! Lies! You don't even like me one bit! Get the hell out of my sight! I never want to see you again!"

"Ah! Romi..I..."

Fresh tears rolled down Romina's face, "And to think that I actually fell for you…" she muttered under her breath. What could she do now? The man she loved didn't even love her one bit. She did what any broken-hearted girl did.

Run away.

She bolted out of the library and into the hallway. Antonio stood there, dumbfounded; she had gotten everything about him wrong.

He truly did love her.

And she had just admitted she loved him too.

He couldn't let her just go.

And he ran out of the library, stuffing the worksheet into his pocket and grabbing a pen. He ran with all his might, all around the giant campus looking for her. He climbed countless flights of stairs, knocking into several people. He almost thought all hope was lost, until he heard faint sniffing coming from the school garden.

He looked up and saw her sitting under the pearl white gazebo, crying silently, all alone. She looked so vulnerable; he felt her need to protect her. He walked towards the gazebo and called out her name.

Romina looked up with her tear stained face, the way he said her name was so gentle, yet full of fiery passion. He was walking towards her, a melancholic expression across his face. He stepped onto the gazebo and stood in front of her. She turned away and muttered, "Go away."

Antonio got down onto his knees so he and Romina were face to face. He gently cupped her face, "Te Queiro, querida," and with that, he kissed her.

Romina was shocked at first but soon, she started kissing him back, she never wanted that moment to end.

It was Antonio who broke the kiss, he slipped his hand into Romina's and said, "My darling, I never wanted to get back with your sister, as of today, I am yours." And he kissed her hand.

Romina's face reddened, "Erm..I…I…lo..lo…"

Antonio put his finger to her lips, "Hush querida, all you need to do is finish this," he extracted the crumpled worksheet from his pocket and pointed to the last equation.

Romina smiled, she took out a pen and finished the equation.

Antonio smiled and got up to sit next to her, wrapping his arms around her, "I love you Romi."

"I love you too Antonio," Romina smiled and lifted her head to give the Spaniard a loving kiss.

A+R= *heart*

Te Queiro, querida [Spanish] - I love you darling

[Note: FF has something against the bigger than/smaller than sign. *heart* is suppose to be the smaller than sign and 3]
