When Nadia asked David to stay, his heart tightened. He was already feeling a pull to this city, to it's beauty. But now this woman, a woman he adored despite knowing nothing about, was asking him to stay. He needed his career, he needed this opportunity with the video, but he felt like part of him just wanted to drop everything and stay. That wouldn't be a smart move, nor would it be logical. However when you speak of matters to the heart, logic never dictates reasoning.<br/><br/>"My friend was not a smart man," he explained. "He let chemistry and passion take over. Let's just say his head wasn't on right."<span style="font-style: italic">Kind of like mine right now,</span>he thought to himself. He wasn't too sure how he felt about Patricia, but he certainly knew how he felt about Nadia.<br/><br/>They arrived to a small packed, but very inviting, hole in the wall. He thought it was lucky that she knew the owners so well, because if not they'd have to find another restaurant for a place to sit. Right now David wasn't in the mood to do more searching and walking. His muscles ached, his head was light, and he was ready for bed. They sat in a small intimate table, and the smells of the place wafted into his nose making him even more hungry.<br/><br/>He was a bit disappointed when he heard she turned down every man who showed any interest in her. He could certainly understand it, but knowing he had no chance brought his mood down. Her dancing was her life, and there was no room for romance. There was no room for someone like him. However he couldn't help the feelings he was developing for her. He didn't want to interfere with her life, but he wanted to be a part of it. He could never dedicate his life to his career like Nadia did, even if his career was important.<br/><br/>"I'll have a meat lasagne," he told the waiter. David turned to Nadia, "I can imagine life as a dancer really takes up your life. You can't eat what you want, you can't be with who you want to be with." He placed his hand close to hers and said, "but you've never fallen for a guy and felt something so strong you wanted to take a risk in life? You never felt your heart rise in your chest, making you want to forget your obligations? It may not make sense, but sometimes I just prefer to close my eyes and jump. I just do what feels right in the moment. You don't ever want to just do that?"
