Arohi stared out at the blue blue sea infront of her and thought, We're in paradise.  This had to be paradise, it was so beautiful, so perfect.  They had just arrived in Cinque Terre which basically was a seaside resort town made up of 5 villages which were built on narrow cliffs along the sea.  Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore form the Cinque Terre.   They were staying in Monterosso, in a family run B&B(Bed and Breakfast).  "I've always wanted to come here." Arjun said as he gazed out at the sandy beaches infront of them.  "So when we decided on Venice I thought this would be a perfect way to extend our trip. "  "I love it." Arohi said as her gaze moved over the cliffs and hillsides that made up the villages.  "I know, so do I" Arjun said squeezing her hand.  "Mr. Singhania?" A young attractive man, asked walking up to Arjun."  "Yes, you must be Antonio?" Arjun said shaking his hand.  "Yes, Yes." "I will drive you to the B&B." Antonio said smiling.  Once in the car, he talked non stop in broken English, and even some Italian. Arohi laughing, practiced her broken Italian with him.  Arjun shook his head watching the young man fall for the Arohi charm. " Yeh mujhe pooch raha hai, key tum mere bhai ho." Arohi said giggling.  Arjun didn't think that was funny.  "I better show him exactly who I am," Arjun said Pulling Arohi closer to him and giving her a long hot kiss.  "We're here." Antonio called looking in the rear view mirror at the kissing couple.  "I guess he's not her brother" he thought to himself sadly.  

They stepped out and found themselves standing infront of  a beautiful Tuscan two story villa. Next to it sat a smaller building painted in the same earthy tones.  It was surrounded by lemon trees and a garden with lilacs and lilies.  They were welcomed by a lovely Italian couple who showed them to the smaller building which was the B&B they would be staying in.  Walking in Arohi's face broke out into a smile.  The walls were a pale yellow, with beautiful ceramic art hanging from it.  The bed was covered with pale green and white bedding.  So fresh and mellow.  Light wood furniture decorated the room and two beautiful earth ware pots in a light green and yellow sat next to the huge bay window.   From the window, they had a beautiful view of the sea and the hillside.  Right outside their window amidst the beautiful garden sat a small white breakfast table and two chairs.  "This is where we will serve your breakfast." the sweet older women said pointing to the table.  "10:00 okay for you two?" she asked.  "Yes, that's fine." Arohi said smiling.  The couple handed Arjun and Arohi a glass of Lemonchello. As Arjun finished up the paper work, Arohi went and stood outside staring out at the beautiful view.  This was going to be their home for 5 days.  She'd traveled quite a bit in her short life but she had never, ever, seen anything as beautiful as Cinque Terre.  And now she would get to share this with Arjun.  Him bringing her here was the most amazing of gifts.  She would always remember this.  
 
"Hmm, you taste like lemons." Arjun said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.  "So do you" she said smiling.  "So do you want to explore or should we take a nap?" he asked raising his eyebrows.   "Are we really going to be napping?"  Arohi asked.  "Nope." he said trailing kisses along  her ear.   Arohi laughed pushing him away.  "As wonderful as not napping with you sounds, I really want to go explore." she said excitedly.  "Please" she said seeing Arjun's frown.  Arjun's frown slowly turned up into his sexy dimpled smile.  "Alright"  "Let's freshen up and we can go wander."  Arohi smiled grabbing his hand,  she pulled him into their cute little room. 

They trekked back down to the main strip.  If nothing else, they would get quite a good workout on this trip, as everything was built along the cliffs they had to pretty much hike to get anywhere.  But that was okay, it just meant they would take more kissing breaks along the way.  Making it down to the "downtown Monterroso" the first stop Arohi made was for gelato.  Arjun laughed as he followed her into the shop.  "I know" "I know" "I'll get my own." he said.  Arohi smiled.  "Good boy" she said as she licked her gelato.  "They walked along eating and browsing through little shops."  Arohi bought a large hand made ceramic vase that was painted  by a local artist.  "It'll be perfect for our living room." she said.  As she gave the shop keeper their shipping address, Arjun looked at his suddenly domesticated Arohi.  Almost a year ago this same Arohi was running from commitment and now she was his wife and she was renovating their home and she was planning to learn how to make gelato, the latter thought made Arjun chuckle.  They spent the rest of the afternoon exploring just the one village, making plans to explore the rest in the next few days.  They stopped for dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the sea.  Watching the sun set they sipped their wine and ate their delicious pasta and seafood dinners.  After dinner they walked barefoot through the sand, holding hands and stealing kisses. "I love you." Arjun said against Arohi's hair as she leaned into him.  "I love you too." she said smiling.  As they continued to walk, she felt a slight shiver.  "Cold?" he asked.  "Just a little." she said as he put his arm around her pulling her close.   "We'll head back." Arjun said against her hair as he kissed her forehead.
