"Kammie, isn't this beautiful? It's even more breath-taking in person."
Kaylan stared around in awe at the colorful paintings that decorated the walls surrounding them.
A few days ago, they had landed in Rome, the most exciting city in all of Italy. Kaylan had always had a fascination with Rome and it's amazing history and it's renaissance art so they spent most of their trip visiting historical sites such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Castel Sant'Angelo as well as the Vatican museums. Now they were here visiting the Sistine Chapel.
"It is baby", he agreed, looking at the painting, "and you always said you wanted to come here princess. I'm just glad I was able to make that happen and share this first-time experience with you."
Kaylan couldn't believe she was walking in the same space of that of the late Michaelangelo and standing up beneath his biggest masterpiece; the Sistine ceiling. In her opinion it was even more breath-taking then Leonardo's portrait of Mona Lisa.
Kameron held her small hand as she stared up at the beautifully painted ceiling, amazed that one man frescoed a 5,000 sq foot vault all by himself.
Kameron didn't have much historical knowledge before he met Kaylan. She opened his mind to different sides of history he hadn't even known. They would stay up all night cuddled up in his bed as she enlightened him about the many different philosophers of Greek civilisation, the European renaissance era, Italy's influences on western philosophy, etc. He was amazed by how much she knew of such a subject. He could honestly say that she was the smartest girl he'd ever met, and no other person had ever challenged him to open his mind and think of shit he never thought of before the way she did.
He stood behind her with his arms around her waist, "So, what's the meaning behind all of this?" He followed her gaze up at the ceiling.
She stared up at him, "They're all biblical references...see this one?" She pointed to a young naked man with brown curls and an elderly white-haired man who looked to be in a sack full of naked angels, the two men were touching eachother's index fingers, "That's The Creation of Adam. It represents the scripture from the bible when God gave life to Adam, the first human being to ever walk Earth."
"Ohh yea?" He removed her hair from near her neck and kissed it, "Interesting...what's that one over there?" He pointed up at a reddened male figure with blondish hair lying on what looks like a bed of clouds surrounded by four naked men in each corner.
"That?--that represents when God seperated light from darkness. You remember in the bible when God said let there be light?", she looked over her at him resting his chin on her shoulder, "that's the part of the bible it's representing. That's God bringing lightness to darkness. The white cloud-looking stuff, that's the light"
"Shit's dope as hell..damn, princess, I'm glad we came here", he held her waist tighter as his eyes traveled around the art. Kameron loved learning new things and everyday it felt like Kaylan was teaching him something new.
"Me too", she smiled, snuggling her back up against his chest and enjoying the warmth of his arms, there was nowhere else she'd rather be.
Holding hands, they continued to tour the Sistine chapel, admiring the beautifully painted art work all over the walls and ceiling.
After exploring the Sistine Chapel, they went outside where their driver awaited them. When the driver opened his door and was about to step out, Kameron motioned for him to get back inside.
"It's straight bruh, I got this", he told the driver. Kameron opened the door to the backseat, allowing Kaylan to scoot inside before he got in himself.
