Arya's POV -

Turns out Rome really does have his own private jet. I guess it shouldn't surprise me at this point but it did.

Especially when we got there. The spot seemed like a secret hidden base even though it was outside.

There were a few other SUV's around and some men chatting with each other yet they still looked alert.

"Those are your men, right?" I raise my voice so everyone in the car can hear me from the very back seat. Rome was in the passenger seat while their driver was behind the wheel. Elijah and James were on the side seats and since I didn't want to be stuck in the middle I took the back.

There was a lot of leg room.

"Of course It's our men, what kind of question is that?" James snickers and I glare at him.

The SUV comes to a stop and we all get out of the car. Rome waits for me and takes my hand once I get out.

Some of the men head to the trunk to get our luggage while Rome begins to guide me towards the huge jet.

Holy cow, that looks so cool.

"I didn't know you had your own jet."

"You never asked." Rome retorts and I grumble under my breath since he's right.

I turn my head and see James and Elijah trailing behind us.

Rome lets me go up the steps first and I'm greeted by the pilot.

"Good day, ma'am."

"Hello," I shyly say and take a step inside the jet.

"Capo," He nods at Rome which he returns.

My mouth drops to the floor at the sight.

There's couches. Couches inside the jet.

Holy cow there's a huge TV as well.

Smiling brightly I quickly make my way to one of the largest sofas, plopping onto it and staring out the window.

Rome chuckles and comes to sit beside me, throwing his arm across my shoulders.

"You like?"

"I love!" I say loudly, gazing around inside the fancy plane. Most of the interior is either white, dark gray, or black.

James and Elijah make their way towards us, James taking the other couch and Elijah in one of the chairs.

"Damn, better get comfortable princess because this is gonna be a long flight." James says, kicking his feet on the sofa and placing his arms behind his head.

"How long?"

"A little over 10 hours." Rome says and I almost choke. I didn't know it was that long...

"Oh,"

The door to the stairs close and the pilot heads to the front of the jet.

"Good morning ladies and gentleman, this is your pilot speaking. We will be taking off in a few minutes now." The pilot speaks over the intercom and I wiggle in excitement.

Sure enough 5 minutes later we're taking off and in the air in less than 2 minutes.

I stare out the window and watch as the buildings get smaller and smaller, the clouds getting bigger.

After 10 minutes of me just staring I get a little bored so I turn straightforward again.

Elijah shifts on his chair and opens one of his bags, taking out a laptop and placing it on his lap. I watch him for a few minutes as he types on the keyboard. The lights on the jet dimmed just a little so I could see the reflection of the computer light on his face. I'm sure he can sense my gaze but doesn't make a move to look at me.

Even though he still looks intimidating my thoughts on him have changed. Ever since he comforted me about the Izzy situation. I know he cares about everyone in here even though he doesn't tend to show it.

Turning my head towards James I'm slightly surprised to see he's sleeping with his arms still behind him. Just a few minutes ago he seemed very energetic.

"You should do the same as he is." Rome mutters from beside me, guiding my head to lay on his shoulder.

Smiling I snuggle closer to him, but my eyes stay open as I watch Rome look over emails on his phone.

Rome leans down a bit to whisper in my ear, "There's also a bedroom in the back if you want to go in there instead. There's a TV too if you just want to be more relaxed."

I ponder that for a second before shaking my head. "I'm relaxed here with you right now. I'll go in there later when I really wanna sleep."

Accepting my answer he presses a swift kiss to my head before going back to his emails.

Closing my eyes and listening to the small chatter from the TV, I didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly.

Maybe it was the feeling of being in my lover's arms and the thought of being heavily protected by the three of them was what had me drifting off so fast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shifting under the comfy covers, I groan and adjust my position. I feel like I'm slightly moving while just laying here but I'm in a bed.

Wait a minute...

I'm moving in a bed.

My eyes shoot open and I jerk up in a panic but then I relax when I realize where I'm at. I'm in the bedroom on the jet.

Rome must have put me in here once I fell asleep.

It was a fancy room that's for sure, and like Rome said there's a giant flatscreen TV hanging off the wall.

Getting out of the covers I rub my eyes and then look out the window. Sure enough we're still high in the air. I wonder how long It's been since I've fallen asleep.

Looking in the mirror I'm not really shocked to see my hair a mess. I quickly try to pat down my unruly curls as much as possible before giving up and walking out of the room and to the front.

All three men are in different positions. Rome is now on the phone talking to someone while James and Elijah are both on the sofa watching something on the TV, Elijah with a drink in hand and James just relaxed back on the couch.

I quickly make my way to Rome's side and he gives me a sideways look, gesturing for me to sit next to him.

I do so happily and he wraps his arm around me, tugging me closer and pausing to press a kiss to my cheek before continuing his conversation. He sounds quite calm talking to the person which is a good sign.

I'm happy there's wifi on this plane because when I take out my own phone there's multiple texts.

Cassidy: Did you make it to Italy yet?! You better send pictures.

Mama: Let me know when you land, I love you.

Papa: Hey kiddo, I hope you have an amazing time in Italy. Your mama and I will be sending our love from here. Stay safe.

My eyes soften down at their texts and I reply to them swiftly.

Rome ends the call and I quickly question how much longer we have on the plane.

"You slept for almost 9 and a half hours. We've got a little less than an hour left."

"9 and a half?!" I ask flabbergasted.

"Those exams must have taken a toll on you." He says, giving me a pointed look before going to make another phone call.

"Ah, she awakens. You're a heavy sleeper." James says from the couch.

"Yeah I guess I am." I reply, standing up and walking over to the two on the couch.

"What are you guys watching?"

"I don't really know. It's some movie about underground fights."

I hum and watch for a few minutes before the blonde man speaks up again.

"I'll be back, I gotta piss." James says and both Elijah and I's faces scrunch up.

"You didn't need to fucking tell us." Elijah says and James places a hand over his heart.

"Watch your mouth Elijah." James strolls over to the bathroom and I sneakily flick my eyes down to Elijah's form.

He raises his head up like he knows I'm staring at him and I quickly snap my gaze away but I'm pretty sure he caught me already.

"You can sit." Elijah's hard voice rings out and I smile before doing so, sitting next to him and in the spot James was previously in. My eyes linger on the scar trailing down his face briefly. It makes him look so much more scary even though he looks scary as it is.

I watch as he swishes around the drink in his glass, I'm guessing its alcohol. Wait a minute, speaking of.

"How old do you have to be to get into a club in Italy?" I ask him and he snaps his eyes to mine.

"You're old enough."

"Oh my gosh we can go to a club! Oh we're so going." I rub my hands together and Elijah rolls his eyes.

"Do you even know what a club looks like?"

"Nope!"

"Well good luck trying to convince Rome then." He says and my eyes fill with determination.

"Watch!" I stand and stride over to Rome whose now off his call. His face fills with confusion when I stand in front of him.

"Can we go to a club in Italy?"

His eyes widen a little at my question and then his gaze hardens.

"No."

"Oh hell yeah!" James says, walking towards us.

"Why not?!" I pout and he crosses his arms.

"Clubs will only lead to chaos. Plus I don't want you near any of those drunk idiots."

"B-But I've never been and I really wanna go! Plus you guys will all be there so nothing will happen."

"Yeah, we'll all be watching over her." James ruffles my hair and I attempt to push him away.

"Pleaseee," I plead, grabbing his ringed hand and giving him my best puppy dog eyes but nothing changes in his expression.

But then after a few moments his facade cracks and he sighs harshly, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Cazzo, bene. Fine but you must stay with James, Elijah, or I at all times. Do you understand?"

(Fuck, fine.)

I give a smug grin over to Elijah who only shakes his head but there's a small smile on his face.

"Yes I promise, thank you! Thank you!" I lean forward and press multiple kisses on his cheek. His arms naturally wrap around my waist to steady me.

"And that's my cue to go back to the couch." James turns around and I giggle, wrapping my hand around the silver chain on Rome's neck and pressing one last kiss to his cheek before pulling away.

I sit next to him on the side where I can look out the window. Buildings start to come into view and I gasp.

We're in Italy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At about 8 PM Multiple men greet us when we land and there's a black car parked on the side. The trunk is stuffed with Rome and I's luggage in no time but what shocks me is when Rome opens the passenger door for me to sit and then getting in the drivers side.

Thank god the heater was already on. James was right, Italy is cold.

"No driver?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"We need a car for ourselves so we can get to the hotel. Elijah and James will be in a different car."

"Are they staying at the same hotel?"

"Yes, we'll be visiting my cousin tomorrow. Tonight we'll get settled at the hotel."

Rome starts the car, beginning our journey. I turn my head and see that Elijah and James are following behind us in their own vehicle.

While Rome drives us I text Cassidy and my parents telling them I've landed and then look out the window, watching the snow fall.

It's so pretty. A lot of the buildings we pass are decorated for Christmas and it leaves me in awe.

After about 30 minutes I see a fairly large building ahead of us with a huge body of water in front of it. However the water is now frozen ice.

We pull up to the entrance and grab our luggage, walking inside. The inside is super luxurious, I've never seen anything like it. I go and sit in one of the chairs while Rome talks to the man at the front desk.

Elijah and James soon stroll in carrying their luggage. Rome hands the man his keys and Elijah does the same. James comes to sit next to me, giving me a grin.

"Grazie e spero che tu abbia un meraviglioso soggiorno. La colazione sarà servita tutti i giorni dalle sette del mattino alle dieci del mattino." The man at the front desk says, handing Rome and Elijah each a pair of keys.

(Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful stay. Breakfast will be served every day from 7 AM to 10 AM.)

The two of them make their way over to us.

"Baby you and I are on the top floor. Elijah and James are a few below us."

"That's some bullshit. We should be on the top." James retorts.

"You complain about everything." Elijah says, grabbing James and dragging him towards the elevators while somehow still holding onto his luggage.

Rome shakes his head and grips onto my hand and we follow behind them.

We part from Elijah and James on the 3rd floor and then we make our way to our room on the 5th.

My jaw had to of been on the floor when we go inside. The room was insanely large with a huge king sized bed in the middle.

Seeing a door to a balcony I practically run over to it not caring that It's cold and look over the railing.

We have an amazing view of the outstretched frozen sea. I stick my tongue out and catch the snowflakes that land on my tongue.

Despite it being freezing I feel a warm presence behind me followed by two strong arms wrapping around me.

"This is amazing, Rome." I tell him, still looking at the incredible view. His arms tighten ever so slightly and he presses a small kiss to the back of my head.

"You're going to love it here but how about we get some sleep, hm? We've got a lot of exploring to do this week."

Nodding against him we go back inside and Rome closes the balcony door. We quickly change into some comfy clothes and I'm very happy It's not freezing cold in here. I do my night routine that consists of brushing my hair, teeth and face while Rome does his own thing.

Soon Rome turns off all the lights and asks if I want the shades to the windows closed and I shake my head. The view is amazing even from the bed.

We get under the covers and I quickly snuggle up next to Rome, laying my head against his chest.

Laying together and basking in each others comfort, my lids are half closed before I finally speak.

"Thank you Rome..." I whisper.

He tilts my head up with his fingers and softly presses his lips against mine. I relish the feeling before he pulls away.

"I love you, Arya."
