Life Around The World

Momma Mia !

The next morning, I woke up early and went down to the pool for a swim, when I got there, it was quiet and the water was still as can be. I put my towel and phone down on a chair along with my pull over and room key then, I slowly got in the water and dove under once I got used to it, the water felt so refreshing on my face and it immediately woke me up. When I resurfaced, someone was entering the pool deck, I looked over to the door and saw Alex walking over to the chair next to mine placing his towel and other stuff down. "Morning bro." I say as he made his way to the stairs "Good Morning Madison." I watched my brother as he dove under and resurfaced at the other end of the pool shaking his shaggy now wet hair all over the place. I laughed to myself just as I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist, I turn around and see Hunter smiling down at me with his glowing brown eye. "Morning baby girl." He said in his raspy morning voice. I pecked his cheek with a kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck and replied "Morning babe" He smiles and then moves in to kiss my cheek and all of a sudden, he dips me, looks me in the eyes and lets go of me, when I resurfaced, I wiped my eyes and splashed him back.

After a few hours at the pool, and a nice breakfast with the gang, we made our way into the city of Rome to start our tour around the beautiful city. First, we started off by visiting the Coliseum where the ancient gladiators. When we walked in the place, we looked all around us and admired the huge arena where gladiators use to fight in. "Whoa! I wish I was a gladiator!" Jack and Max both said in unison. "I bet you wouldn't even last being a gladiator!" Hunter said laughing to himself as Max approached him with a mean look on his face and once their foreheads were almost touching, he said "Do you want a bet?!?" After they took a few steps back, Hunter placed a smirk on his face and so did Max then Hunter replied "You're on!" They shook hands and the bet was on, if Max and Jack couldn't act like gladiators for the time being at the coliseum, they would have to buy Hunter's lunch and if Hunter lost that bet, he'd have to buy them both lunch. Let's just say that after our visit in the coliseum, Hunter was a happy guy. After we finished visiting the coliseum, and a bunch of other tourist attractions, we went back to the hotel and just hung out. "Is anyone else hungry?" Carter asked walking in through the door, Max, Alex, Brent and Justin raised their hands and Mina said "Why don't we all go grab something to eat then?" The guys, Mina and Sophie stood up and made their way out the door to go get food as Jack, Cali, Hunter and I stayed behind.

"Girls, go get ready, we're going on a double date." Jack said as Cali and I smiled at each other and went to pick out a nice outfit. Jack and Cali left to go get ready while I went through my suitcase looking for something cute to wear on this double date when Hunter appeared in front of me with a smirk on his face. "What?" I asked as he placed his suitcase on the bed across from me. "Nothing, but it looks like you need help picking out an outfit." He said walking over to me, his eyes scanning the outfits I laid across the bed, his eyes had stopped on one in specific and then he picked it up. "Here, wear this one." He said handing me a nice baby blue strapless sundress and a white cardigan to go with it. "Thanks handsome." I said pecking him on the lips. Before I went in the bathroom to change into my dress and do my hair, Hunter asked me to help him pick out a dress shirt, I looked at all the dress shirts he had laid out on the bed and stopped on a baby blue dress shirt and pointed to it. "That one!" I said as he picked it up off the bed, he kissed my cheek and thanked me then, I went to get ready. When I was done, I walked back into the room to see Jack and Hunter standing there talking. "Okay I'm ready! Where's Cali?" I asked as both boys turned around and Cali walked through the door saying "Right here!" She said with a smile. "Looking good Cal!" I said as she spun around "Thanks you too girl!" She said as I took my turn to spin around. We both laughed as Jack and Hunter came forward and held their arm out for us to take. "Shall we?" They both said in unison as we linked arms with them.

Once we arrived at the small fancy restaurant, the waiter sat us down at a table for four and we ordered our food then we started talking for a while until our food came, once the food arrived, we ate and continued talking and laughing. After we had dessert, we took a walked back to the hotel, when we got there; the One Direction guys were also coming back to the hotel. "Hey mates!" Niall yelled running towards the hotel entrance, we waved back and all walked in together. "Hey Niall, what's up?" Hunter asked as we all got in the elevator. "Well, I ran down the street with Harry to get a pizza for dinner. How about you?" He asked as the elevator doors opened and we got off making our way to our rooms. "Well, we just went on a double date at a really nice fancy restaurant." I replied. He handed the pizza over to Harry and to take to the guys and then replied "That's nice. I see these two lads know how to treat ladies." After we finished our conversation with Niall, we went down to our rooms; I opened my suitcase and grabbed a pair of pjs and went to take a shower while Hunter went down to the fitness room with my brother, Max and Jack. Once I finished in the shower, I slipped into my pjs and put my hair up into a messy bun then, I went to see what the other girls were up to.

I knocked on Sophie's door and a few seconds later, Mina appeared opening the door and letting me in. "Hey girlies!" I said sitting down on the chair beside Sophie. "Hey! So, how was your double date?" Mina asked wiggling her eyebrows. Cali and I looked at each other and blushed a little then Cali replied "It was cute! The guys made reservations for us at a nice little fancy restaurant and then we went for a walk down by the canals." By the time Cali told both Sophie and Mina about our double date, they were both aweing then I added "And they also took us on a boat ride down the canal too and it was so cute until Jack almost pushed Cali in the water." Telling Sophie and Mina about that last part earned me a laugh from each of them and earning a death glare from Cali. "I told you not to say anything." She said.

After my conversation with the girls, I said goodnight and made my way back to my room to crawl into bed, on my way back, I ran into Alex who was coming back from the fitness room with Max. "Hey baby sis, what's up?" He asked with his arms open for a hug. "Just going to bed." I said giving him a hug even though he was all sweaty from his workout. He opened the door and we both walked into the room. I brushed my teeth and then crawled into bed. "Alex?" I asked as he was going to the bathroom to shower. "Yeah?" He replied "Where's Hunter?" I asked, as he grabbed a tee shirt. "He'll be up in a few minutes; he and Jack were lifting weights when Max and I left." I laid down and checked my phone before I turned it off then, I put my phone on the night stand. "Alex? One more thing..." I said pulling the covers up. "Yeah?" he asked then I yawned and replied "I love you." He smiled and replied "I love you too little sis." I then smiled and said "Goodnight." And that's when my eyes closed and I was out like a light.
