Quick review response to T: yes. That's all I'm saying ;)

When In Rome

Chapter 14

"That was fun," Adam mumbled into Fiona's neck before kissing it softly.

She laughed and turned her head to kiss his lips as he caressed her stomach. "If I smoked, that performance would definitely warrant a cigarette."

He smiled. "Anything to please you, princess."

"I do believe you've done your royal duty," she told him before kissing him again.

He brushed some hair away from her face and kissed her forehead. "Glad you think so, Mrs. Torres."

She laughed again. "I'm not Mrs. Torres yet," she reminded him.

"Soon."

"Someday," she told him.

He sighed, though he was still smiling. "I'll get you a ring." He kissed her neck softly.

"You'll be saving your allowance for a while."

"Or I can get you a plastic ring from one of those coin-operated machines at the grocery store."

She punched him in the arm, making him laugh. "Besides, I want to go to New York and brag about my awesome fiancée and show off my ring. And if I don't have a ring, how are people gonna know I'm spoken for?"

"I don't know, maybe if you tell them," he suggested, kissing her left hand softly.

"People in New York don't talk, they look."

"Well, I'd rather have them looking at your hand than… anything else."

She shook her head as she moved on top of him. "You're the only one who gets to see my anything else."

"Good to know," he whispered before she leaned down to kiss him. He reached down to touch her and she sighed against his mouth.

She groaned and sat up when there was a knock on the door.

He put a hand on the back of her head. "Let it go," he told her, pulling her back to him.

She kissed him again, though it only lasted a moment before there was another knock. "I'll get rid of them," she said quickly. She kissed him once more before getting off the bed.

She slipped on Adam's boxers and one of his t-shirts before answering the door. She sighed and folded her arms across her chest when she saw Holly J. "What do you want?"

"Sorry," Holly J said quickly, looking between Adam, who was laying in bed looking annoyed, and Fiona. "I didn't mean to interrupt."

"What do you want?" Fiona repeated, looking just as annoyed as Adam. "And be quick, we're celebrating our engagement."

Holly J shook her head. "I'm sorry, your engagement?"

Fiona nodded. "Adam proposed. And I accepted."

"You're gonna marry a sixteen-year-old?"

"Of course not," Fiona said. "16 year olds can't get married, but we are engaged and we will get married."

"Fiona, be serious. You're 18, you shouldn't be talking about getting married now."

Fiona glanced at Adam quickly before stepping into the hallway and closing the door behind her. "A week ago, I would have felt the same way. I almost lost him, Holly J. I had no idea what I was going to do if I did. I'm in love with him, why can't you see that?"

"I do…"

"You don't. You don't understand. You write us off as a couple that would never work out just because he's younger."

"I do not. His age has nothing to do with…"

"Is it because he's transgender?"

"Fiona…"

"Is it?" she insisted.

"No."

"Then why don't you like him?"

"I never said I didn't like him. He's a great guy and I know he makes you happy. That's obvious."

"So why are you so against us?"

"I'm not. You guys have only been dating for nine months and you haven't known each other much longer than that. Don't you think you might be rushing things a bit?"

Fiona sighed. "I know that this is my first really serious relationship other than Bobby and it's Adam's first relationship period, but everything's happened so fast because we've always been so in sync. It's like he always knows exactly what I'm thinking before I say a word and every move I make, he matches instantly."

"Ok, but does that mean you need to get married?"

"I already told you, we're not getting married right now. Adam at least needs to be out of high school."

"Then a big summer wedding?"

Fiona smiled. "That's the plan."

Holly J sighed then nodded. "Then I guess you're gonna need a maid of honor."

"Holly J's really ok with us getting married?" Adam asked doubtfully as he pulled his jeans on.

"It's really not up to her, but yes." She walked over to him and put her arms around his shoulders. "I mean, she thinks we're kind of crazy."

"Well, we are." He laughed and kissed her softly when there was a knock on the door. "I said it before and I'll say it again, someone needs to get her a bell," he said as she answered the door.

"Declan, what are you doing here?"

To be continued…

AN: I don't know which cliffhanger is scarier, Adam getting knocked unconscious or Declan randomly (or maybe not so randomly) showing up. Keep in mind: Declan's eyebrows have superpowers.
