Artemis had been walking around the mall for hours, shopping and just enjoying being out of the Manor. Her mother was incessantly pestering her twin children about their older sister Addy and what she was up to. Getting out was definitely necessary. While her brother had opted for the gym, Artemis had decided to take a trip to the mall. She had finished all of her homework from the previous week so why not indulge a little? Money was no object for a Darcy and she had her eye on this new pair of heels that had come in a few weeks ago. And, of course, she would need some new outfit to go right along with it. Retail therapy was definitely calling her name.
Artemis wove her way through the busy mall. Her hands were laden with various purchases and packages. She had already visited most of the most of the shops and stors, buying more than she really needed. Her wardrobe needed an update anyway. She could feel the eyes of the other people in the mall, watching her as she sauntered by. The Darcy children were unmistakable. Each had grown up in the social spotlight, their faces being splashed all over the gossip section of most magazines. Artemis relished the spotlight though. It had never bothered her or gone to her head though. The enchanting, brunette vampire felt her smile widen even further.
Spotting one of her favorite places to grab a quick drink, Artemis felt her throat burn a little. The place was small but catored well to a vampire's needs. Now was as good a time as any for lunch, so she turned her feet towards the little shop. She walked right in and sat down at one of the little booths. The waitress there knew he was a regular and didn't hesitate to bring over exactly what Artemis was craving. She smiled up at the girl and thanked her before indulging in her afternoon meal.

Dante had been furiously getting ready for the new school year to start. He had been to the teaching suplies stores to gather up new art supplies for teaching his classes as a student teacher and been gathering up new ideas for teaching ideas. He had also been gathering up new notebooks, pencils, and binders for his own classes at college. It was going to be a busy year, he could already tell. Now, his journey today was to go to the mall for a new wardrobe. His mother had been wiring him money without his father's knowing so he could live and buy new clothes each new school year. It wasn't a half bad bargin seeing as though his father had hated him for going into art instead of business like he had wanted him to. He sighed as he got out of bed. and got ready for the day.
He just picked out black slacks and a nice white collard shirt, nothing out of the normal for the guy. He ran his fingers through his hair as he passed by the mirror and buttoned up his shirt. The tall male then grabbed his keys and headed out. He quickly hopped in his small silver car and headed to the mall. He luckily found a parking space close by the front so he wouldn't have to waste time and breath working his way to enter the mall. When he entered the mall, he knew that it would be awkward for a man to shop on his own. He would have to find a friend that was of the opposite sex to help him out with this whole shopping thing. He was no good at it really. He didn't even know where to start.
The best place to start was the food court. Usually he would spot someone he knew there. As he walked by lots of people, he saw girls stare at him, and their boyfriends give him a dirty look. He was used to it because he knew that he wasn't half bad looking, or as most girls told him. He enjoyed the many compliments he had gotten. However, he only really cared about one girl and he knew that it would be a long shot to get her. He had only talked to her for a climb up the social ladder, however, his feeling developed a little more after getting to know her better.
Speaking of the girl that he cared about, she was sitting down, having lunch by herself. What a perfect day already. He made his way over to her, "Why hello there. Do you mind if I join you for a drink?" He sat down across from her and crossed his legs. "So, Artemis. How have you been?" he asked in his oh so wonderful Italian accent, "How has your summer been?"

Sitting alone was not all it was cracked up to be. Artemis was usually never by herself and now she remembered why. Being alone with one's thoughts was nice enough but she preferred having someone to talk with. Her brother or Rory were the two people she spent most of her time with but today, for whatever reason, she couldn't get a hold of either of them. Apollo was probably hiding from their mother or working out and she didn't know where Rory was. Ever since her friend had found out she was pregnant her life was a complete emotional mess. Artemis tried to be there as much as she could for Rory but it was hard when she was busy with her own life as well.
Artemis took out her phone to see if Apollo had texted her back yet and of course he hadn't. She began looking randomly through her contacts and smiled when one name in particular appeared before her. She hadn't spoken to Dante in a while but she hadn't been able to stop thinking about him all summer. He was charming, competely attractive, and a student teacher for the art department at the Academy. That small fact kept repeating itself in her head over and over again but that didn't stop her heart from fluttering at the thought of him.
At first, she thought it was her imagination. That there was no way Dante was there two seconds after she had been thinking about him again. But, to her delight, there he was. Artemis' smile grew wider when he asked to join her. "Of course. I would be insulted if you didn't." She said with a playful grin. It wasn't fair how perfect he looked sitting there and his accent made it even harder to concentrate. "I've been doing well thank you. Summer has been great. Spending days doing whatever I like instead of working on homework never gets old." Summer was definitely her favorite time of the year, even if she couldn't be out in the sun as much as she would have liked. Relaxing on Darcy Island, hanging out with her twin and their friends, and sleeping in were just a few of her favorite things."And what have you been up to this summer? I haven't heard from you in a while." What she really wanted to know was whether or not he had been seeing anyone during these summer months not that she would ever ask right out.

Dante enjoyed being alone most of the time, but sometimes he just needed the company of a friend, or one of a special lady friend. On that note, he took a spot across from Artemis. She looked really pretty on this nice summer day with her curly-ish brown hair and beaming brown eyes. With those eyes, she could pratically get away with anything she wanted to, not like she couldn't do that anyways since she was a Darcy afterall, but that didn't stop Dante from taking interest in her. It actually made him take more interest in her because of her status. He only began talking to her to gain up on the social ladder, but one he started to actually get to know the girl, it was over from that point on. He enjoyed her company, a lot more than others really. He wasn't sure why, well, he did but he didn't want to admit it. She was a student in school that he was student-teaching in afterall. That was a no-no. But, it didn't seem to stop them from meeting up.
She gave a grin and said that she would be insulted if he didn't. He smiled back at her and thanked him for asking how she had been doing. Artemis said her summer had been doing great and she enjoyed doing things she wanted instead of homework. He kind of smirked at that one. "I know what that's like." Dante's favorite time of year was also summer. No college to worry about or kids to worry about that wouldn't do their homework or grade papers or anything like that. She then asked him what he had been up to. "The normal. Parties, but not too hard of the parties. I actually went over to Verona for a visit with the folks a few weeks ago. It was pretty fun. My father still bugs me about not going into business management. My little brother is getting so big. I feel so old and decrepit."
It was true. Ilario, his younger brother, was getting so big. His family moved back to Verona after he had graduated from high school. He felt lonely without his small brother bothering him by running around, stealing his things from him. He really was a spitting image of Dante. The blond curly hair and the green eyes. "Enjoying your island? Whooing any men?" he asked, scooting slightly closer to her. Dante wasn't one for "jealousy" per say, but he was protective of what he wanted to be his and his alone. His rule was that if he wanted to persue someone, he wouldn't go behind their backs and flirt with other people. "Was I too blunt with that?" he began asking, sounding worried probably, "Mi dispiace. Er, I'm sorry." When he got flustered or upset about something, he tended to speak Italian. He didn't mean to, it just started to slip out.

Dante began to think about Artemis’ meeting and his. He didn’t think he was the only one trying to meet her outside the classroom. Even when he didn’t plan on meeting her outside of school, without her knowing most the time, they still seemed to meet up. Maybe it was a sign for they should be more than friends. But, that would be totally against the rules of course. However, Dante didn’t seem to care that much about rules most the time. Then again, he didn’t know how Artemis would feel about it since her sister was the headmistress of the school and all. Maybe that just amped her to do more things against the rules. He felt like he would pull something like that.
She looked relieved when he said he had spent most of the summer with his family. Artemis also said that she would like to go back to Italy one day. He didn’t know that she had been over to Italy before. He listened closely to her story on how her family had gone over to Rome and how cool it was to her. He smiled when she said he wasn’t old or decrepit; quite the opposite she said. ”Well thank you. And Rome is the second most beautiful place in Italy. Verona, my hometown is the first of course.” He smirked. Everyone thought that their hometown was the coolest or most beautiful usually. However, Verona really was pretty. It was the setting for Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. It wasn’t his personal favorite of Shakespeare’s, but it wasn’t the worst.
She seemed happy when he asked her about if she had whooed over anyone of the opposite sex during the summer. Maybe she did like him? She leaned in closer to him and he could feel her breath on his skin. He swallowed his spit and listened to the sound of her voice. She said that she’d only been out on the island with her brother and friends; no males however. He kind of sighed in relief. Artemis mentioned that she was taking a trip out to the famous Darcy Island tomorrow and hoping that a blond, handsome, tall male would join her. However, she wasn’t sure if he would be interested. ”I think this tall, blond male would be interested. Handsome however, not to sure about that.” He stole some of her drink and looked down.
He set the drink back down and looked back at her, ”So, I have a question to ask, but I’m gonna ask it in Italian. Vi uscire con me*? If you figure it out, I shall be highly impressed.”
