**Breathtaking**

I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I had never been to Italy, and never thought I would get to go. Dad and Sara happily agreed, of course, to watch the kids while we were over there for a week. I was getting antzy on the plane and John noticed he smiled and kissed my cheek, "Be patient babe, we'll be there soon enough." I smiled and looked over at him, "I can't help it." He chuckled and went back to reading his magazine. I smiled at him, he was so hot. I sighed, happy to have the family I did, and looked out the window.
We arrived at the hotel and I couldn't have been more excited. I'm sure I was getting annoying, but John swore that I wasn't. He would just smile and kiss my cheek, "You're so cute." He kept saying that, although I knew he wanted to say, "Take a fuckin' pill and relax." He kept denying that he was annoyed, but shit, if it were the other way around, I would have been for damn sure. Rome was beautiful, it was breathtaking. There were so many things I wanted to see. As I was listing the different things, John was smiling at my enthusiasm. He grinned suggestively as he moved to sit next to me on the bed, "We'll start tomorrow." I smirked and cocked my eyebrows, "What if I wanna go today?" John chuckled as he moved closer to me; his mouth inches from my own, "You'll have to wait." I grinned and wrapped my arms around his neck as he kissed me, passionately. Oh my God, it had been so long since we kissed like that. I finally had to break it, I needed to breathe. John seemed grateful for the chance too. But as soon as we caught our breath, we were right back there for another one. This was gonna be one damn good vacation.
John was laying behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist as he slept. I was sleeping soundly until the phone rang. John groaned, "Don't answer it." I sighed and had to. It could have been Dad, something could have been wrong with the kids. I reached out and grabbed the phone, "Hello?" I smiled when I heard Joie's voice, "Hi Mommy!" I looked at the clock, it was 2 in the morning, but I knew it wasn't as late in Texas. I yawned, "Hey sweetie." "Are you sleepy?" I nodded, "Yeah, baby it's 2 in the morning here." I could almost see Joie making an O with her mouth. I heard her giggle slightly, "Sorry. I'll go. Bye Mommy, love you." "Love you too sweetie." I hung up the phone and John smiled, "Joie?" I nodded as I rolled over to face him, "Yeah." John hugged me closely to him and smiled, "We've got great kids." I nodded in agreement, "Damn straught we do." John chuckled softly and kissed my forehead, "I love you so much." I smiled at him and kissed him, "I love you too." I nuzzled against him, and soon, we were both sound asleep.
The following day was so much fun. We had gone out for every meal. Wow, real Italian restaurants were different from the ones back home. We went and saw the Collesium. I was in awe. I had seen the movie Gladiator like a thousand times, and it didn't prepare me for what I had seen in person. We found some people nice enough to take pictures of John and I at different locations. I snapped, I dunno how many pictures while we were out. When we returned to the hotel that night, we were both exhausted, but John wasn't going to let that ruin our vacation. John pulled his shirt over his head and then stripped down to his boxers. I fell onto the bed and yawned. John walked over and grabbed my hands. He pulled me up, and I was totally unwilling. I groaned and let my head fall against his stomach. John grinned, "If you're not going to wake up, then I'm going to make you wake up." He grabbed me up and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I had no clue what he had in mind. He carried me into the bathroom. Somehow, he was able to turn on the shower. My eyes snapped open when I heard the water come on, "John..." Before I could say anything else, he put me down in the shower. I glared at him as I was soaked by the water beating down on me. John grinned and crossed his arms over his chest as I put my hands on my hips, "You think it's funny?" John smiled and nodded, "Yeah." I grabbed his arm and yanked him into the shower. Without warning, I turned the hot water off, and hopped out of the way. John shivered as the cold water beat down on him, "D... damn...it...An...Angel." I smirked and turned to walk away. Joh cut off the water and chased me into the bedroom. He tackled me to the bed and I started laughing uncontrollably. He kissed me deeply and I wrapped my arms around him. He started kissing my neck and up my jaw. I closed my eyes and moaned as he let his hand run up my body. John smiled and then kissed me again on the lips. I pulled him closer to me and deepened the kiss.
