When In Rome

Chapter 1

"Holy..." Adam said as he and Fiona walked into a hotel room in Italy. His mouth fell open as he looked around the gigantic room. Everything was in gold-tones and from the large window on the far side of the room, he could see the Colosseum in the distance.

Fiona, however, seemed unfazed as she tipped the bellboy.

"Is Holly J's room this big?" he asked as the bellboy left.

Fiona shrugged. "Probably."

He looked at his girlfriend, his mouth still hanging open. "Really, Fi, this room is amazing."

She nodded as she looked around. "It's big."

Adam just shook his head in amazement and walked into the bathroom. "Holy shit, Fi. There's a jet tub in here."

Fiona just smiled and shook her head as there was a knock on the door. "It's me," Holly J said from the hallway. Fiona quickly opened the door.

"Just doing my chaperon duties and making sure you guys are settling in alright," Holly J told her as she walked into the room. "Where's Adam?"

"The toilet is gold!" Adam's voice suddenly yelled from the bathroom.

"Finding out the toilet is gold," Fiona said with a tiny laugh.

Adam finally walked out of the bathroom. "Hey, Holly J. Do you have a tub that can hold twenty people too?"

"Hey and yeah," Holly J told him, laughing slightly as well before she turned back to Fiona. "So what's on the itinerary for today?"

"Actually, I'm a little tired from the flight. I think I might just turn in early," Fiona said, looking over her shoulder at Adam.

He suddenly stiffened and nodded. "Yeah. Yeah. Me too."

Holly J fought back another smile as she nodded. "Right. I'll just leave you to it then." She and Fiona walked to the door, Holly J turned back to her best friend as she entered the hallway. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Fiona rolled her eyes. "Bye, Holly J," she said as she closed the door. "Alone at last," she sighed as she walked over to Adam.

He smiled nervously as she put her arms around his shoulders. "What uh... what do you want to do?"

She shrugged. "Well, I was thinking a little of this..." she said, trailing off as she kissed his lips softly.

He smiled against her lips as he kissed her back, lifting his hand to cup her cheek. After a moment, he ended the kiss and leaned his forehead against hers. "I love you."

She pulled back slightly to look at him. "I love you too," she whispered. She took his hand and led him to the bed, where they sat down.

They looked at each other for a moment, then kissed again. When Adam's hand came in contact with the skin on her stomach, she giggled softly against his mouth.

He pulled away to look at her. "What?"

"That tickled," she told him, still laughing.

He raised his eyebrows. "Really?" He tickled her stomach again.

She shrieked and jumped to the other side of the bed, but he quickly followed her, tackling her playfully onto the mattress. He quickly looked at her, he was always careful to never be too physical with her. He wasn't Bobby and never wanted her to have any reason to compare him to her abusive ex.

He sighed in relief when he saw she was still laughing. She curled into a ball as he continued tickling her.

"Stop," she shrieked, though she continued laughing so he didn't let up. "Adam, I said stop," she said, this time pushing him away.

"I... I'm sorry," he said quickly, trying to catch his breath. He moved to sit next to her, her face was hidden from him through a curtain of dark curls. "Fiona," he said softly, brushing some hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

When she turned her head to look at him, he noticed she was grinning. She moved so quickly, he didn't have time to react before she had him pinned on the mattress, holding him down by the wrists.

"Ok," he said, laughing again. "You win."

She smiled and kissed him quickly. "I was never losing."
