Hello, here is chapter seven, hope you enjoy reading! This one's slightly shorter than the previous.

Zoe groaned as a voice spoken over a tannoy filled the station.

"God I hate those things." She said, "Especially in supermarkets with a "staff announcement", and they always repeat themselves."

"Well Zoe, people need to know if any trains might be delayed." Nick replied.

"Oh is that what they're saying? I'm half glad it's in Italian so I don't have to even try to listen to what they're saying, there's enough noise in this bloody station as it is."

Nick smiled to himself as he and his girlfriend wound through all the people, holding her hand. They eventually found the exit to the station, and made their way to the Cavalieri hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in Rome.

When they entered, Zoe gasped. She thought the hotel in Venice had been magnificent, but this was doubly stunning. It had a private art collection, a grand spa, and was set in beautiful parkland.

"Nick…..I never thought you could top the other hotel but….wow."

"Wait until you see the suite." Nick laughed.

"Suite? How the hell did you afford-"

"Shh." Nick interrupted.

The couple took the lift up to their Alcove suite, which Nick had decided on.

"Oh my….." Zoe took in the room, never had she seen such luxury, and never had she thought she'd be able stay in such a stunning hotel.

"Nick Jordan, have you won the lottery? No seriously, tell me how you paid for this, Nick! This is for celebrities! You bought me a Dolce & Gabbana dress but this….this to stay in?"

"Zoe darling, what did I tell you in Venice?"

"This must've cost thousands Nick! You didn't have to, any hotel would've done, but you chose the best hotel in Rome?" Zoe replied. She wasn't angry, just a bit overwhelmed. As she walked around taking it all in, Nick came up from behind, turned her around and before Zoe could utter a word, he was kissing her.

The following morning, Zoe still couldn't her head around how Nick had afforded the hotel suite. She gave up asking after the kiss, and just hoped he hadn't spent too much money. What she didn't know was Nick had been planning this trip for quite a while, so he'd saved up a fair bit of cash.

Zoe decided to wear her D&G dress today, she was pleasantly surprised her sandals matched perfectly. Nick on the other hand, had settled on pretty much the same clothes as the day before. After a breakfast more delicious than you could imagine, Nick and Zoe headed out into the Italian capital to do some sightseeing.

First they went to the colosseum, where they gained quite a few pictures. Nick got the camcorder out and filmed the inside, turning slowly in a full circle. When Zoe came into view she laughed and put her hand in front of the lens. Nick and Zoe learnt a lot of history visiting the colosseum, and stayed there for nearly an hour before leaving to see the many other attractions in Rome. By the time they had seen the Papal Basilica, the Pantheon, and the Mausoleum Of Hadrian, it was time for lunch. Nick took Zoe to a small restaurant which served a selection of delicious lunches for hungry tourists and the civilians of Rome alike.

The couple had a grilled Panini each filled with cheese and ham, with a drink to go with it. Zoe had an orange juice, she had gone off coffee a bit since becoming pregnant. Nick had a Café Latte, which to him tasted even better than the star bucks ones. You can't beat food or drink from it's native country after all. After their late lunch, it was nearly 4pm., so Nick and Zoe decided to get going to the Villa Borghese gardens.

"We can't stay here too long Zoe, we've still got the Capitoline hill and the Trevi Fountain to go yet." Nick said when they arrived.

"Oh come on, it's only four o' clock, and I thought you wanted to go and visit the fountain in the evening anyway?" Zoe replied with a questioning look.

"Yes, but I don't want to leave everything until the last minute." he said.

"Nick, we're on holiday, not at work. Relax."

"Alright, alright."

"I'm gonna take some photos of the gardens, I won't go far." Zoe got up from the bench they were sitting on and walked off. Thirty photos later Nick and Zoe headed to the Capitoline hill. Tonight would be their last night in Rome, so they had tried to see as many attractions as possible. One place they hadn't been was Vatican city, which wasn't very far away. Nick thought perhaps they could go tomorrow before their plane departure.

After two hours spent at the hill and the museum, which had shut just as Nick and Zoe came out, they walked to the Trevi Fountain. Zoe wasn't sure which place she had enjoyed more, Venice or Rome. They were both beautiful and she couldn't decide between the two of them.

There were quite a few tourists dotted around the fountain, some of them throwing coins into it's clear water. Nick filmed it while Zoe took pictures with her Fujifilm camera. This had to be the most stunning attraction in Rome, it was simply amazing.

"Well, we'd better thrown a few coins in then." Nick said, reaching into his pocket. He chucked them in, but as they flew through the air, his face fell. He started fumbling around in his pocket.

"Oh Nick Jordan, don't tell me, you've thrown too much in?" Zoe laughed.

"Y-yes I have." Nick replied, his voice quiet. "I-I threw in a few euros a-accidently."

"Don't worry about it, I mean, it's not like you're going to dive in are y-" but before Zoe could finish, Nick got in the fountain.

"NICK! What the hell are you doing? Didn't you listen to me? It's just a few poxy euros, no big deal!" Zoe half shouted.

Nick looked a right idiot, up to his knees in water. People were staring, some filming on their mobiles, others whispering to each other, thinking he was trying to steal money. Nick got on all fours, frantically searching, with only his head visible above the water. Zoe gave up trying to get him out, he wasn't listening to a word she was saying. After a few minutes, Nick breathed a sigh of relief, and waded towards the edge of the fountain.

"Out you come then." Zoe reached her hand out to him.

"Zoe, it wasn't money."

"What? So what the hell did you go in for then?" she replied.

Nick got on one knee in the water, and a ring appeared above the surface.

"It wasn't meant to be like this but I might as well do it now I'm wet.….Zoe Hanna, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

Zoe gasped and her hand flew to her mouth. Tears fell from her brown eyes as she nodded, she was utterly speechless. Nick slipped the ring onto Zoe's left ring finger. It was a plain silver band with a single, beautiful diamond set in the middle. It was simple but elegant. People clapped as Zoe helped Nick get out of the fountain, some were even cheering.

Nick was soaking wet, Zoe was rather hungry, and both were quite tired from their day of sightseeing, but Nick and Zoe had never been happier in their whole lives as they walked back to their hotel, hand in hand.
