Prince Of My Heart

|Chapter 52|

Splendid Alex compliments the boy handing him a tip before he turns away

I stare at the table, varieties of food and am finding it hard to pay attention, he's acting weird I know he said to wait till we get back home but I can't help but be worried.

Halfway through breakfast I drop the topic no use holding on to it when he keeps shutting up about it, I decide to let go and we talk about everything under the sun.

Soon we leave for the car, again which leads us straightforward to the Colosseum, Alex pulls on his dark shades when we get there handing me one too.

I look around my surroundings the excitement of actually being in Rome hooks me, walking down the cobblestone pathway the streets are crowded and the tall trees provide little shade, the air is warm and I practically skip, my eyes meet with the Colosseum; my breath hitch staring up at the historical building;

The building stands tall and proud built with brown and rough stones I assume, it has different arch ways pillars holding them up, the two top part are incomplete with just a wall and it's one of the most beautiful thing I've seen.

Alex my handsome tour guide sends me a dashing smile, come on madam this way, he grabs my hand leading us through the crowd; we take the Colosseum dungeon tour, then he practically drags me around the city; we visit the Vatican museum, the Sistine chapel, he takes me to more spots like the; Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden) on the Aventine hill Pincio Terrace in Villa Borghese park, Caesar’s Gardens, on the slopes of the Janiculum Hill,

Finally we stop for lunch at a restaurant called The Aroma;
He leads us to the elegant terrace of the restaurant at Palazzo Manfredi the rooftop  is a complete show off with a beautiful view of the Colosseum that immediately takes my breath away. 

Where do you plan to take me to next? I raise a bow at him taking a sip of my white wine

That's a surprise he winks, but if you're tired-"

Tired? I laugh, I just want to drink up everything, we can't see everything obviously but today is one of the greatest days of my life I tell him

Am glad you love it Soph, I want you happy he leans forward placing a peck on my lips

Are you happy? I lean forward

Of course he nods leaning forward too when am with you all my problems disappear, am glad I met you he smiles;

  I smile remembering the light in his eyes through out the tour especially at the museum, he's a total art geek and I love him that way, am glad I have you in my life I send him a smile

He nods, after the surprise we can get a few souvenirs for your friends and family?

I'm not going to let you do that j turn away from my phone staring at all the pictures we took

You're not going to stop me you know he snorts staring at all the printed photos we took with the Polaroid camera he bought along the way.

This one belongs in my wallet he grabs one turning it to me

I laugh, we got ice cream somewhere near Caesar’s Gardens, on the slopes of the Janiculum Hill, where Cleopatra and Caesar celebrated their love and made their eternal oath, it's a legendary love story and am glad he took me there, the photo shows me smiling at the camera where Alex asked a lady to take a picture of us in perfect Italian, I was smiling widely at the camera when he pushed my ice cream up landing across my lips and smudging my nose with ice cream, he laughed so hard and his eyes shine brighter in the picture since he took off his hat and shades for the picture
