Chapter 7: Alice and Jasper in Rome...
7. Romance in Rome
"Hey Jazz, is that the pope?" Alice asked. Jasper rolled his eyes.
"Just like the other eighteen Italian guys you have asked me about, no, that is not the pope." He told her. Alice shrugged.
"Where do you reckon he is right now?" She asked
"I dunno, asleep?" Jasper suggested, looking up at the night sky.
"Boring!" Alice said, skipping down the street towards the square. Jasper followed her through the crowds until she stopped at a market stall. Jasper looked down to see a huge box of fireworks - rockets, sparklers, catherine wheels, fountains, the lot. Alice's eyes were twinkling mischeviously.
"Alice...i don't think that's a good idea." He warned softly, but she stuck her tongue out at him and handed over a bunch of money to the guy running the stall. "There's a reason there are health and saftey laws in the US..."
"Don't be such a goody-goody." Alice teased as the guy gave her a box of matches. She had a bundle of fireworks in her arms and Jasper had to catch a few before they clattered to the ground. She struck a match, and was about to light the first rocket when Jasper caught her arm.
"They might hurt someone." He said
"Have you forgotten i can see the future?" Alice asked, "The only one that will go wrong is that orange rocket, and i'm not going to light that one, so there!"
She stuck her tongue out and Jasper relaxed a little. He was safe with Alice, because she always knew when something bad was going to happen. She lit the rocket and let it go a second before it shot of into the air, high into the sky before bursting into purple and red sparks. Alice giggled and set off a couple more. The people in the crowded streets had stopped and were watching the mini-display.
After lighting a few more, Alice got bored, and gave the lot to a family passing by, who continued lighting the fireworks for her. She slipped her hand into Jaspers and closed her eyes listening to the whooooooooosh, pop! of the fireworks. She felt his lips on her cheek, pressing a gentle kiss on her skin, and a smile spread across her face. She opened her eyes to find Jasper right infront of her.
He leaned in to kiss her, but she pulled away at the last minute, eyes wide, "Heyy Jazz, is that the pope?"
Jasper sighed and turned to look at the guy, preparing to point out that he looked nothing like the pope, then he stopped, "Actually, i think that might be..."
~o.O.o~
"Jazz, Jazz, Jazz!" Alice was bouncing up and down with excitement.
"Yes, Alice?" Jasper replied calmly, hiding the smile from his face.
"Bonjourno." Alice said
"Hello in Italian, very good. Essential to getting around in Italy." Jasper teased
"Better than you." Alice said, sticking her tongue out. Jasper raised his eyebrows.
"In realta la signorina Hale, parlo fluentemente italiano." He said (A/N The italian is probably wrong, i'm incredibly sorry, there's only so much you can do with google translate...anyone who speaks Italian, please correct me! Anyway, for those of us who don't speak Italian, i'll write the English in brackets next to it) ("Actually Miss Hale, i speak fluent italian.")
Alice's eyes grew wide, "Is that Italian?"
"Si." Jasper said ("Yes."), "Suppongo che non si puo capire nulla che sto dicendo?" ("I suppose you can't understand anything i am saying?")
"What?" Alice asked
"Io prendero come un no." He smiled ("I'll take that as a no.")
"Jasper, no fair!" Alice scolded
"Questo e divertente. Potrei dire nulla su di te e non si sa." Jasper mused ("This is fun. I could say anything about you and you wouldn't know.") "Potrei dirti quanto sei bella, e tu non discutere con me. Potrei dire che sei la donna piu magnifici che abbia mai visto, e non avrebbe protestato." (I could tell you how beautiful you are, and you wouldn't argue with me. I could say you are the most gorgeous woman i have ever seen, and you wouldn't protest."
"What are you saying?" Alice whined, and Jasper laughed
"Sto dicendo che ti amo." Jasper whispered into her ear ("I am saying that i love you.")
Alice's ears pricked up. Ti amo. She knew what that meant, at least. "Ti amo." ("I love you.")
"I love you." Jasper confirmed, switching back to English.
"Forever?" Alice asked, reaching up on tip toes to kiss him lightly on the lips
"And a day." Jasper said softly
Okay, i know this is a rubbish chapter :( I wrote it and then was going to delete it, but i thought i would put it up anyway.
Feel free to flame all over this, i know its bad, but i hadn't updated in aaages (Sorry about that) and i wanted to put something up rather than having to wait for me to write a whole new chapter.
