After the conversation I had with Tristan we both fell asleep and when we landed my head was on his chest and he had his arm around my shoulders. Too say it was awkward was an understatement. Once we realized the position we were in we quickly separated. We got off the plane silently and went to baggage claim to get our bags. It was still early, so we headed to the hotel to check in to our rooms and set down our bags. We only had the rest of today and tomorrow, and then we board the plane again and head to Venice for a day.

We got to another Hilton and put our things in our suites.

"Why in the world are all of the hotels always Hilton?" I asked

Katie.

"I have no idea." was her reply.

We got settled and at 12:30 we came out of the rooms.

We headed down the main street and came upon some stores. We had the same deal as in Greece so we went in. Mom saw a bunch of Gucci bags and went over to investigate. I saw a bag near mom so I went over and looked at it. It was Prada and I asked Katie if I could get it. She agreed since it was an amazing bag.

Mom picked out a Gucci bag and Katie decided on a Gucci scarf. Katie paid for it all and we headed out. We saw a gelato store and we just had to go in.

We each got a scoop. I ended up with Vanilla, Mom - Chocolate, Katie -

Mango, Jason - Lime, and Tristan got Strawberry. We sat down and ate slowly. It was very sweet.

"Why is this ice cream so sweet?" Jason asked.

"It has like 3 times the amount of sugar in it." I replied.

Once we got done eating, we resumed walking to explore the sights. After about two hours, it began to get dark, as it was now close to 5:30pm. At this time, we decided to turn around and head back to the hotel.

We started to get hungry, and passed by a restaurant that served pasta. Since we were in Italy, we decided to eat there. We sat down and looked over the menu. There were so many options to choose from, too many. We all had decided to get 5 different dishes and then split them 5 ways.

Mom ordered normal spaghetti with marinara sauce and meatballs. Katie ordered cheese ravioli. Tristan ordered spinach tortellini with a fettuccini sauce. Jason ordered linguini with meat sauce, and I ordered fettuccini alfredo.

"It all looked so good." I commented, after the waiter took our orders.

"It was so hard to choose!" Katie exclaimed.

"I can't believe Tristan got SPINACH pasta!" Mom almost yelled.

"What's wrong with that?" He asked confused.

All three girls gasped in shock. "Because it's green!" they all said in unison.

"What's wrong with green?" He asked, wanting answers.

We all gasped again and shook our heads while we replied, "It's healthy!"

"Oh!" Tristan said, finally understanding and chuckling softly at their antics.

The food came a few minutes later and we started to split it up.

"It smells so good!" Jason stated while attempting to spin some noodles around his fork.

"I can't wait to eat it!" Mom asked while trying to stab her meatball. It wasn't being nice.

Everyone started eating. All that could be heard was slurping, chewing, and gulping.

When we were done, Jason and Tristan split the check.

Since it was almost dark out, we made our way back to the hotel.

We all sat in the common room to our suite and we talked.

"So Jason where are you going to college?" I asked.

"Yale!" Katie answered happily for him.

I looked over to Jason for confirmation. He nodded.

My phone rang. I looked at the screen I smiled when I saw who was calling. Jess. I picked up immediately.

"Hi!" I told him perkily, everyone around me had gotten quiet.

"Did you take some perky pills this morning?" He asked sarcastically.

"No, I didn't!" I told him.

"So, why so happy?" HE asked curiously.

"Just am, its great being here. How's everyone?" I asked, thinking about Stars Hollow.

"Luke's been giving everyone coffee on the house because Lorelei kissed him before you guys left." He said, laughing.

"She'll be so disappointed other people are getting free Luke's coffee and she's not there." Mom gasped as she heard this.

"She's there isn't she?" he asked, smirking.

"Yep! Along with Jason, Katie and Tristan." I added happily, looking at my friends.

"Who are they?" Jess asked, trying to remember if he'd heard those names before.

"Remember when you first moved to town? We'd talk about ET or Bible Boy every once in a while? By we, I mean me and my mom of course." I asked.

"Yah" Jess answered vaguely recalling the conversations.

"Well Tristan's Bible Boy, Jason's his best friend and Katie is Tristan's twin, who happens to now be one of my best friends." I said.

"Huh." Was all Jess said in response.

"Limited vocabulary today?" I asked jokingly.

"You know that I know as many words as you do." He responded testily.

"I know that!" I responded impishly.

"I gotta go. Luke is saying my break lasted 15 minutes too long."

He said, suddenly.

"But your break is only 15 minutes long." I said, furrowing my brows.

"I know, but I just got done taking one 5 minutes before this one. So I only worked 5 minutes between breaks." He said, laughing.

"Ah! Now I see the problem!" I responded, laughing with him.

"Me too, Ill talk to you later. Love you!" He added the last part jokingly.

"You're so cute and I love you too!" I played along, and with that I hung up.

"Jess?" Mom asked.

I smiled and nodded.

"You love your ex-boyfriend?" Katie asked confused.

"Yah I do! I love him like a brother and the fact that he sleeps on my couch like a brother helps that fact." I said, laughing at the expression on her face.

"He sleeps on your couch?" Tristan asked.

"Yep. He hates sleeping at the Diner. Luke wakes him up at 4, and we wake him up at 8. There's also the fact that we put up with his music." I replied.

"Interesting, your ex-boyfriend/best friend/brother sleeps in your house." Jason commented.

"Yep we have a weird relationship." I said, nodding in agreement.

"I'm tired." Tristan announced.

"Me too! We should get back to the room." Jason agreed.

Once they left, we dispersed to our rooms and we all fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning refreshed. I looked at the time and realized it was actually afternoon. I walked out into the common room and smelled pizza.

"Pizza!" I yelled.

"You have a good nose." Katie told me.

"I know. Now where's the pizza I'm starving." I said, hearing my stomach rumbling.

"Right here!" Mom came out of the kitchen with four boxes.

"Why so much?" Tristan asked coming into the room, along with

Jason.

"That's not a lot at all." I replied.

We handed Katie one box and me and mom each took a box.

"Katie share yours with the guys, the last one is ours." I requested.

"You can't possibly eat one and a half pizzas each." Tristan stated.

"Watch us!" I challenged.

Mom and I dug into the pizza and exactly one hour later each of us had chewed and swallowed twelve slices of pizza.

"No way!" Tristan exclaimed in disbelief.

"Way." We told him in unison, before we started laughing at the looks on each boys face.

"Let's get going." Jason suggested.

"Sure!" Katie replied and we all stood and walked out the door.

We walked around taking in all the sights, and eventually made it to the Trevi Fountain.

"It's amazing!" Katie exclaimed.

"It's so big!" Mom yelled. We laughed.

"It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." I replied in awe.

We stood around it and stared at it for a while and then mom moved so she could look for 5 pennies.

She found them. "Aha!" She exclaimed.

She passed them out. We all turned around and threw them over our right shoulders.

"You know what that means? We are all coming back to Rome."

Tristan announced.

"Yes, we are!" I agreed.

We hung out for a while in front taking pictures and doing touristy stuff.

"I want to shop some more." Mom announced.

"Me too!" Katie agreed eagerly.

"I'll join you!" Jason volunteered.

"What about you guys?" Katie turned to me and Tristan. We both shook our heads.

"We'll stay here." He told them.

When they left, Tristan and I looked around for awhile. We found a Café close by and decided to take a sit and have a drink while we waited.

"That fountain is absolutely beautiful!" I repeated, staring at the fountain.

Tristan got up quickly, grabbed my hand and dragged me over to the fountain and stood me in front of it.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused.

"Well you said this fountain was absolutely beautiful, and I think you're absolutely beautiful, so I wanted you to be in front of the fountain when I do this." He said before leaning in to kiss me.

The kiss was slow and sweet. It only lasted a few seconds, before he broke away, but it seemed like forever. I looked down when I realized what just happened. Tristan Dugrey kissed me.

I looked up to see him smiling.

I know the ending of this chapter was cheesy but still. Well review people.
