Rafaella Ortega Event; Valentine's Day

I wasn't going to do this event but since I made one of those instagram sets, I figured that the bottom row could tell the valentines story. (That set will be posted soon - mainly used as another plotting post for the LFW event)

Mentioned; Russell Hernandez

Info copied from my storyboard set FC: Brock O'Hurn  Rafaella really likes him out of all the guys she meets. But her parents, when alive, told her to never get close enough to a white guy. Raf never understood why. He was just like everyone else. Maybe it had to do with him being a poor adopted white male. At a young age Russ was adopted and he ended up taking on their surname."

Today was one of those days where Rafaella didn't care about the way she looked. Russell always told her that she looked better in her natural state. Rafaella rubbed on her moisturizer which had one of the highest UV ratings. She also applied some sunscreen on top of that. A little bit of concealer and transparent powder was added to help protect her skin and to finish off her 'no makeup, makeup look'. Rafaella added the tiniest bit of waterproof mascara to her already long lashes. A swipe of chapstick on her lips and she was out the door.

Rafaella started her day a few minutes earlier than usual. She kind of always did when she was going to see Russell that day. He had a thing where he liked his woman being on time.

Rafaella wasn't exactly his girl, or anyone elses. She secretly wished she was his though. I mean today was Valentine's day after all. And he made plans with her. That was something huge Raf calculated. He told her to wear sensible shoes and to bring a water bottle. Rafaella had no clue what they were going to do. She had a pretty good idea that they'd be walking a lot. Maybe even sore.

Rafaella punched in the address he texted her and followed the map. It ended up taking her to this cute little cafe bistro restaurant area. Rafaella spotted him inside. Someone came out the door and held it for her to go in. Rafaella was now inside. The atmosphere looked even more beautiful in there.

Russ saw her and got up from the table. He gave Raf a short hug then they both sat down. They made idle chat while waiting for the waiter to come back. Their orders were taken. Finally, the food arrived. Rafaella was practically starving since she hadn't had breakfast yet.

On the way out of the cafe, Russell told her that they were going hiking and at the end of the hike there would be a waterfall. He also hinted at a picnic basket waiting for their arrival. His idea of a picnic was alcohol, protein bars and other random edible stuff that could stay out in the sun without making them sick. Rafaella would have liked some real food after all that hiking but knew that it was still sweet of Russell to think ahead like that.
