GABRIELLA'S POV:

"Seems you're already fond of her." André said when I entered the car with the puppy in my hand.

"She's my baby now." I pouted at his teasing.

"Whatever." He playfully rolled his eyes. "Put on your seatbelt Brie." He told me and I did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday was the Lombardy and now Rome! Could this get any better?! This time, André didn't hire a tour guide because he wanted to see how much he knew his way in Rome.

We toured places like the Ancient City in Rome where we took many pictured in the Colosseum, we rode bikes and of course the puppy was still with us. I kept her in the basket attached to my bicycle. We also visited the Vatican Museums, the Trevi Fountain, even the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, etc.

I don't know what made me so excited when we were driving and I saw the Sistine Chapel. I immediately told him let's get out of the car and go.

Even the puppy was excited that she barked happily in my hands. That was the first time since morning. She was so uptight and probably scared during the first hours of being with us that she didn't utter a bark and didn't agree to even walk when I put her down. She just sat there, and stared at the floor. But as we reached the Sistine Chapel, she became so excited and happy. And that put a great grin on my face.

After some little time, we left the Chapel and went elsewhere.

We were on the Spanish Steps when Dré and I were thinking of what name to give our little pomeranian puppy.

"Dré we need a name that is unique and not common." I said as I watched her jump up the stairs happily. I laughed when stopped and started panting out of exhaustion. "That's my girl."

"I got it!.."

"What? What's the name?"

"Diamond." He said with so much confidence.

"Di—what? Diamond? How? Why? And what kind of name is that?" I creased my forehead.

"A beautiful name for our baby. Diamond is her name." He grinned at her and she barked happily at him. "You see she loves it. Don't you Diamond?" He squatted and picked her up. "You are so cute!" He did doing a baby voice and I rolled my eyes at him. "Who's cute? You are! You are!"

"Baby..." I whined. "Diamond is a horrible name. Why should we name her Diamond? It doesn't fit her." I caressed her skin with my fingers as she stayed in Dré hands.

She's so little! And adorable.

"Then what do you want?" He looked at me with a frown.

I smiled shyly. "I have the perfect name for her."

"And that is?" He said as we went up the stairs.

"Italy!" I giggled.

"Huh?" He stopped at looked at the puppy and then at a man that passed us who was wearing a shirt that said 'I Love Italy' and back at me. "Don't tell me you just got it from him." He looked at me with disappointment in his face.

"Not entirely! Yeah because I read his T-shirt and also Italy is where we got her and alsoooo this country is the place where we became Boyfriend and Girlfriend again. This is where our love for each other has blossomed into a more beautiful thing. Let's name her Italy. Please baby." I did puppy eyes but it seemed this time it did not work.

"Look..." He sighed. "I'm very flattered with what you said about us but naming her Italy, wouldn't that be weird?"

"No it won't."
