If you want to stay well and good in your shoes, you need to earn the money. So thats what Richard did. After he wished Caroline sweet dreams he went on his flight to France. He wasn't sure about Caroline, she was fragile and the truth must hurt her more then lie about his humanity. he looked at the gates and took the sixth one to his flight. He dropped his luggage on the car and walked into his plane finding his seat.
He sat down, first class and looked out of the window, waiting for take off. As the plane took off and he relaxed he watched some silly movie on his way to bordeaux airport. The arrival was short and he was out of the airport as fast as possible. He took the taxi to his hotel where he checked in and rested in the lobby.
He grabbed a french newspaper and sighed reading without rushing. He had a few days for the deal, and he wasn't planning to leave without a signed contract. He smiled at that thought and kept reading while hanging out in the lobby. He wore a brand new black suit and a white blouse with black tie. He looked around the lobby and got up. He walked his way as he swore he heard his name somewhere so he bumped onto someone.

Lydia had been at the airport waiting for Alex to meet her there when she had seen the vampire, she had dropped her adoptive father a text and began to follow the vampire. Today she wore a simple dress, knee length with a v-neck and some subtle stiletto 3 inch heels.
When they reached the hotel she frowned and held her breath looking at the vampire as he moved amongst the people and bumped into her. Normally she would of recovered quickly but when their flesh made contact she stumbled and fell, her focus completely shot as it went from fair weather outside to a raging storm and she almost lost all her self control.
She shook her head trying to clear her thoughts, her sun glasses had fallen from her face revealing her vivid crimson eyes and a few people were staring at her, she hastily put them back on and smiled in a false manner. Now Alex was so going to kill her ...

The bump wasn't even something he did in purpose, he usually avoids any contact. h looked at the girl who was bumped over by him. She wore 3 inch heels and all together she looked hot. Richard watched her sunglasses fell off and he just got relieved he wasn't in trouble. He reached out for her hand.
He smiled half when she quickly put them back on and smiled as well. '' I'm so sorry, this doesn't happen much often, I'm richard. '' he said softly. He looked at people trying to help but he already had her hand and pulled her back up. He might have pulled too hard or she had weak ankles.
He looked at her and then at the others. '' she's alright'' he said with a demanding voice of them to get lost. He looked at her and smiled. '' Hello again. '' he said softly and helped her getting her balance back a little. He smiled and looked at her, she was drool worthy, but he also had to think about Caroline looking like a weak spot next to Lydia. That was mean to think at all. The weather changed into stormy weather and he smiled. '' i am glad sun is gone. '' he chuckled.

Lydia accepted hi help up and this time she was ready for the shock but it still surprised her and she quickly took her hand back and looked at the floor before looking at him again then saying in a soft tone
"I- it's ok I just ... lost my focus ... I've never fallen like that before" then when he mentioned the sun going she frowned and cursed herself out even more as the storm dulled until it was just cloudy and she looked at him before saying
"S-sorry that was .. my fault." and she shook her head
"I ... I'm sorry I'm Lydia Carter-Hart ... I Shouldn't be so rude as to not introduce myself ..."

Richard smiled looking at the weather and looked back at her. She said she lost control and he chuckled. '' Its entirely my fault , I bumped up to you. My apologies'' he said softly and almost walked away as she blamed herself for the weather. '' no problem, i'm not into the sun'' he smiled softly when she apologized and introduced herself. '' nice to meet you Lydia. '' he said taking a small bow.
He got up standing straight and smiled. His blue eyes scanning the area. '' Well if you excuse em , i got to go. '' he said softly and gentle and left the building on his way to the office. He crossed over the streets, pointed people in the right directions and stopped by to chat sometimes but arrived at the DA of Bordeaux easily and quickly.

Lydia swallowed but let him go, she knew she had to follow him or alex would tell her off but then he would probably tell her off anyway. She followed him to some large, strange structure. She stopped him at the door by taking his wrist, ignoring the shock of emotion she turned him around and whispered softly
"I .. I am sorry but ... you know you are on my Covens territory and ... I have to let them talk to you, they won't do anything to you. We .. well we have to keep our territory free of other vampires and ... kinda choice stand before you now ... ask to join us or Alex .. he might chase you out or even try to kill you ... he is very protective... please just .. I don't know, I liek you I don't want him to try and hurt you."

Richard walked to the door and turned around when he felt some shock on his wrist, something he never felt before and saw the girl who he bumped to in the lobby of the hotel. He frowned when he noticed she was pretty worried. '' I'm here every month to see how the law system works here. I'm not joining any coven, I got my own. '' he smiled sweetly and opened the door.
the assistant of the french DA walked Richard's way. '' bonjour bridget, This is lydia. I am here for paolo. '' he said friendly as he walked with bridget to paolo's office and told her to take care of Lydia while he was gone. He opened the office where paolo sat there worried to death. '' sup paolo?'' he asked smiling but paolo didn't smile. '' the youngest DA of America's washington and he doesn't care about the dangers?'' the french man said as Richard shook his head.
they discussed the dealings between both systems and when they were done richard walked out the office. He saw her there, hopefully not worried to death. '' don't hate me but I'm going back to my hotel and to the US in the afternoon tomorrow. '' he winked and walked his way back to the hotel.

Lydia sat thinking things through and all she could think of was him, worrying about him. Maybe something else was at work here and she didn't want to know what. It scared her witless that she had only just met him and now she was worrying about him as if he was in danger just by being away from her, a storm began brewing outside again, lightening arced through the sky but when he came out it calmed, a light drizzle until he spoke, she followed him into the rain, it drenched her but she grabbed his wrist and shook her head whispering
"Please, trust me. There is a free, easy meal in it for you. Please."

His mind was clear, clear of going back home soon, he promised to be home soon, he had to deal with a lot of things. they were stopping in the rain, he got soaked wet and he looked at her. she had his wrist and begged him to come with her. He shook his head softly, of course it felt weird not saying yes to a hot french girl, but he tried to be loyal, and he was holding on to it. Well he tried.
Richard released himself from her grip. '' I can't come with you, I'm not really the type of socializing around with others of our kind during a business trip and a plane waiting for me in the morning. It was nice to meet you though, you're a great person, i can tell from now. '' he said with a smile and walked into the lobby.
Employees from the hotel already came his way to take his coat. '' no thank you. '' he said politely and walked his way to the desk. '' Thomas, room 212, I would like to stay for the night only. It didn't take the time that i thought it would. So one night only please. '' he said softly and got his money back from the week trip and took his keys to the room.
He walked into the elevator which was going up and opened the door to his room. He left it open and went for a hot shower. His keys were thrown on the bed and dry clothes together with his jewelry as well. When he was done he wrapped a towel around himself and walked back into the room.
