My Billionaire Love

🌸 CHAPTER 19 🌸

Today we are spending our day in Rome ~ Italy. Getting out of the ship we all hailed a cab, yes a can because we don't have our own cars everywhere and anywhere. Adrian was adamant to buy one but I stopped him. It will be fun to opt for taxi once.
"Ava please try yo understand how will we sit in someone else's car"
Adrian whined for the hundredth time and I spare him same angry glare for the hundredth time.

"It is taxi and is for everyone"
I groaned and opened the door and hopped inside. I heard Adrian sigh and then reluctantly enter the cab. He settled with me and buckled his belt. The driver waited for us to give directions. I glared at Adrian and he gave me 'what now' look.
"Tell him where we need to go"
I whisper yelled and he told him something in Italian. I am adding this to the languages he knows.

After a small ride we reached a small restaurant. It looked like a care and we both hopped out after paying the cabbie his fare. We entered inside and a young lady welcomed us. She showed us a table and put a menu on the table. We smiled politely at her and she left giving is time to select what we need to eat.

"Ava what do you want"

"I don't know maybe some pancakes"

"Pancakes!? Again"
He chuckled while nodding his head and I playfully glared at him. He ordered some pancakes which were in their special items list and waited for them to serve. A while later a waiter came and served us. While serving his eyes were on me specifically on my breasts. I nervously looked away while I saw Adrian clenching his jaw.
"What else do you need ma'am"
He said with his pervert smile. Adrian banged his hand on the table and the waiter stared at him baffled.
"Go away"

"Sorry sir"

"I said go the fucking away"
He yelled and the waiter ran away like a scared cat. He held my hand in his and kissed it but I was far from this world.
"Hey Blondie it's ok"
I looked up at him. Tears welled up in my eyes. I saw the same eyes a while ago which I witnessed few years back.

"What happened why are you sweating"
Adrian asked concerned. I looked at him and tried to smile but couldn't. So I nervously picked the fork and knife and began to slice the pancake in my plate. The whole time I could feel Adrian's gaze on me. Finally this torturous breakfast ended and we paid the bill before going out.

We were walking around the street when Adrian slipped his hand in mine and kissed the top of my head.
"What happened"
He asked so calmly with a soft voice. I looked up at him. He had a sweet and gentle smile plastered on his face. That, that smile urged me to speak. I mean I love and trust him so y can't I explain my situation with him
"It is difficult to explain and I don't want this day to ruin"

"O...kay miss. Then put a smile on your face"
I smiled. And he gave me the equal warm and gentle one. We hailed a cab and went to our destination where we will meet our friends and other members of this tour. A tour guide will accompany us from there. I glanced at my wrist watch and saw it was now half past eight. Our first destination would be The Roman Forum.

After a short ride we reached there. The entrance was crowded with people. There were around fifteen to twenty people. We approached them and heard a voice exclaim
"Here are our remaining members"
Our tour guide exclaim. He had a thick Italian accent with some tattoos on his arms. We smiled at him and stood in the crowd.

"As you see we are in front of The Roman Forum__"
He started and explained about his historical importance. We walked inside and roamed the beautiful monument. Adrian had his hand firmly laced with mine. The walls the roofs everything, even though they were damaged looked beautiful.

Even the harshness of the time couldn't take away its beauty and elegance.
"Love birds come out of yourself and look around"
We heard someone yell and turn around. There stood a girl in her early twenties or maybe nineteen. She was wearing a plain black tee shirt with shorts. A cap was on her black hair which were flowing down her shoulder.
