My Ex's Father My Obsession

Crumble & Bake

Chapter 27

Alayna's pov

We drove off and once we hit the highway Anton pressed his feet on the gas pedal and the car moved at a very high speed.

"Hey, are you trying to kill me before I tour around this city," I called out to him in a scolding voice though wasn't complaining because I also love high speed. I wasn't ready to get pulled over by the police officers.

Okay ma'am," he said to me while he gave me his signature smirk and reduced the speed.

Our first destination was the great silhouette of the Flavian amphitheater, can you say you have visited Rome without visiting this place?

This place looked magnificent even through the window I didn't even know that Anton had gotten out of the vehicle until when the door on my side was opened pulling me out of my reverie.

"Mi amore, shall we," he said to me while extending his hand to me to get out of the car.

I took his hand and got out, ready to get into this spectacular building only to see Anton looking around as if he was looking for someone while scrolling through his phone.

"Hey, lets go I wanna to go and explore this place, I want to make use of my visit here," I told him as I stopped waiting for him with my hands folded on my chest. He assumed me as if he did not here me making me roll my eyes as I gave him a pissed off look before stomping my feet and heading to the entrance.

"My love, wait up just a moment and I will be there with you," he called to me but I was too stubborn to stop so I continued walking.

"Shiiit!! this girl," he groaned as he sprinted to where I was and grabbing me on my wast and spinning me round,"gotcha you," he said before laughing with his chest vibrating on my back.

"Heyy, heyy, put me down," I struggled to get out of his hold but my struggles were futile since he was determined not to let me go.

Immediately his phone started to ring so he swiped on the screen and received it.

"Ooh we are here near the main entrance…..come straight and I will notice….and I have spotted you," he said to whoever was on the other end of the line before placing his phone in his pocket and waving to a blonde guy.

"Hello there sir,ma'am," the blonde guy who looked to be in his mid thirties greeted as though I was quick to notice his thick Italian accent.

"I am Lorenzo, your guide for the day throughout this city," he said after shaking our hands. I was confused at first so I looked at Anton for explanation.

"I don't know much about rome, so I saw it would be best to hire a guide to help us as we your around," he said struggling as if it was nothing at all, this made my heart swell with love for this man to fullness to a point that it could burst. I felt as if I could just blurt the words out to him but I choose to remain mumb about it and wait for the right place and time to say it to him, not just in the midst of God knows where so I just hugged him and said thank you.

"If now you may follow me as I take you through interesting journey," lorenzo interrupted us while clearing his mouth.

We walked right behind him as he bluffed about the history of the Colosseum amphitheatre," it is named after the statue of emperor nero that once was situated here. It's building was started by emperor Vespasian in the year 72 AD and completed by his successor and son Titus in the year 80. It was large enough to host theater performances, combats, festivals among many other events. Nowadays football stadiums are built in it's design."

Our next destination was the famous Spanish steps, a flight of irregular stairs that lead to the French church of Trinità dei monti.

"Did you know that these stairs take their name after piazza di spagna, that plaza right over there at the base." Lorenzo went on while smiling at as awkwardly before continuing with the history which I might say was beginning to bore me.

We went to the Caffè Grecco, Rome's most fashionable street for its influx with artists and musicians.

After an hour of wandering through caffè Grecco we proceeded to the pantheon whose architectural design was beyond unbelievable.

"Will you please snap a picture of us," I said to lorenzo taking my phone from my purse and giving it to him. We posted for some pictures and Anton shocked me when he stole a kiss from me.

"Here you go, you two really look great with each other, such a perfect couple. Are you guys on your honeymoon?" Lorenzo asked as which made us burst into hysterics. I looked at his confused face which added fire to my laughter to a point that I was clutching on my ribs since I was out of breath.

"No we are not yet married, just a once in a while trip," Anton told him to which he nodded in understanding.

"But you should put a ring on her finger," he added in a joking manner.

"That I will really soon," he told him but all through he was looking down at me and when I searched his eyes all I could see was a mixture of emotions love but most of it all was sincerity.

Our next and last stop was the Trevi fountain. Lorenzo told us about the 'throwing coins' into the fountain story which I made sure I threw one since I wanted to come back to time and explore more of it's history especially the art galleries since I really love seeing art.

We went back to the hotel after thanking Lorenzo and I made sure Anton tipped him for the well done job he did.

Immediately we got to the room went direct to my room and kicked my shoes off my feet before jumping to the bed to take a nap since my muscles were screaming with tiredness.

"Wakey wakey sleepy head," I heard Anton's sing sang voice as he traced my face with his thumb making my eyes flutter open.

"Stop it tickles and I am tired," I groaned sleepily while shielding my face from him with the pillow.

"Okay since we will just order room service like yesterday so that you can relax. I just wanted us to grab dinner in a nice restaurant across the street who's ratings were very high," he said with a much rather disappointed voice while he stood up and started walking out of the room.

"Wait! I am not tired anymore I will get ready really quickly," I sat up abruptly on my bed.

"You sure," he asked me with a scolding voice mixed with gentleness.

"Mmh I am double sure," I said to him nodding my head while I grinned at him widely.

"Okay then get ready," he said to me before walking out of my room.
