"Love don't leave me here!" Gabe whines as I pack my bags.

We came back home from Hawaii a few weeks ago. Tonight, I fly to Rome for a charity fashion show. Dakota and Charlotte were going to come along with me, but they got a call from the from Central Saint Martins to spend a week to live on campus and observe the classes.

"Babe, I have to go." I smile. I walk in the bathroom and grab my toiletries. Gabe follows me, stilling having a big frown on his face. He makes his pouty face and bring out those big blue eyes, which makes my heart weak. "Gabriel Renzo, please stop making that face," I say, placing my makeup in my makeup bag.

"No," He pouts. I drop the bag on the counter and walk toward Gabe. I kiss him, leading him back into the bedroom, pushing him on the bed and straddle on top of him. "Please don't leave me?" Gabe whispers.

"Gabe, I'm just going on a business trip." I kiss him again, "I will just be gone for a few days. I'll be back before you know it. Plus, you have your pretty daughters to keep you company." I smile and give him a kiss.

After riding first class on the plane for eight hours, I was finally in Rome. When I got off the plane, walk in the airport, grab my luggage, and find my driver to take me to the hotel. The ride to the hotel was peaceful and beautiful scenery. Now I see why Gabriel loves talking about Italy, it's so beautiful. As soon as we get to the hotel, the driver helps me out the car and helps me with my bags. "Grazie." I smile at the driver as I'm getting out the car.

As soon as I got out the car, I was met by flash photography and people yelling in Italian and English. I'm glad that Dakota and Gabe's family have been teaching me Italian. I can speak the language, but not fluently yet like Dakota.

I walk inside the hotel and walk to the front desk. The clerk calls a bellhop to grab my bags and take me to my room. We walk to the elevator to the 18th floor to my room. Once we get to my room, I unlock the door and let the bellhop in my room.

"Puoi mettere i miei bagagli sul pavimento. (You can place my luggage on the floor.)" I smile.

He places my luggage on the floor next to the door. I grab my wallet and give him a good tip. He smiles when he sees his tip. "Grazie. Goditi la permanenza. (Thank you. Enjoy your stay.)" He smiles and walks out.

"Grazie." I smile back. I walk out on the balcony and look at the beautiful view of Rome.
