Chapter 22

Jennifer's POV

"Venice!!!!!!!" I've been shouting since he told we will be holidaying in Venice.

"Stop it Jenny. Everyone is looking at you" he said pointing to the other passengers.

"I don't care because we are going to Venice!!!!" I shouted again and everyone stared me.

"Don't mind .. she's mentally sick" he told the other passengers and everyone started laughing.

"I told you we'll take the private plane but no... You wanted to travel with all.." he was irritated.

"Awwe.. babe" I said getting closer to him and placing my lips near his ear.

"I don't care because we are going to Venice!!" I shouted again in his ear and he pushed me back to my seat.

The plane was then ready to take off and my phobia took over me.

Emerson helped me with the seatbelt.

"Scared?" he asked.

I nodded.

He then came near me.

"I don't care because we are going to Venice!!" he whispered and I slapped lightly. He started laughing and held my hand when the plane took off. It was better this way. I wasn't much scared because he was with me.

I was reading a book and Emerson was going through the emails on his mobile when i heard a notification sound on my mobile. I pulled it out from my pocket and saw the text

"Enjoy the last few days with him. Coz you don't have much time together*wink*"

No. Not again

"Are you fine babe?" Emerson asked.

"huh- yeah .. yes I'm fine " he kissed my cheek and went back to reading mails.

Is this Nia? It's possible.. but what is she planning?.  I was worried again. We had planned to move away from all this but.. can't we have some happy time together?

All the excitement I had lost in just a second. Emerson kept asking me if I'm okay and I said I was. We reached the airport and he helped me out.

Our luggage were sent to the hotel and a limo came to pick us.

"Seriously Emerson.. limo?"

"Dad arranged that babe" he said and we reached the place.

"Smile babe.. or I'll throw you in one of the canals here.." he said making me laugh.

"And then ?" I asked.

"Then I'll also jump after you.. then I'll kiss you underwater and then we can even make out" I kept my hand on his mouth so that he stops embarrassing me.

The limo stopped in front of a huge mansion. I couldn't take my eyes off it as it was the most beautiful thing.

"This is beautiful.. don't tell me this-" I stopped and he smiled.

"Oh my god Emerson you have a mansion here also?"

"Yeah.. I have loved this place since I was a child. We used to come here to spend some time.. so you see." he said showing me the place and I was just staring at the beautiful garden.

"The garden... It's huge" I said running towards it like a school girl.

It was filled with flowers and they made it more colourful.

He was smiling seeing me happy here. And why not? He did all this to make me happy after all.

"Babe" he called me.

"Hmmm"

"Come with me" he said offering me his hand which I gladly accepted.

He covered my eyes with his other hand and was guiding me to somewhere.

"Where are you taking me Emerson?" I asked.

"Shh.. just keep moving" he said and after a few footsteps, we stopped.

He removed his hand from my eyes

"Now open" he said and I opened my eyes slowly.

We were in the garden only and some lighting objects started flying. It was getting dark and it looked beautiful.

"Emerson what's this?" I whispered and he held my hand in his and placed it infront of us.

"A firefly" I whispered when a firefly came to us and rested on our hands.

Suddenly hundreds of them started coming out and it appeared as if I was in heaven.

"Emerson it's so so so beautiful" I was jumping like a lil girl and he was laughing at me.

"Yep... I'm looking at the most beautiful thing ever made" he said and I looked at him.

"But you are looking at me" I said and he smirked.

"Yeahh!!" he said brushing his hair making me blush.

Emerson's POV

She is behaving like a child since I told her about our Venice trip. I mean yeah I know that she's obsessed with Italian food but I didn't knew she loved the place too.

Though the flight time for her looked tougher but she relaxed a bit when we landed and I brought her here.

She was shocked first to see this huge mansion. She isn't used to all this.

I thought she'll be asking me to show her the mansion from inside first but she ran into the garden and was enjoying there.

I thought she'd love the other place too which we call as the firefly garden. She didn't understood first what she's looking at but when one of the firefly sat on our hand, her eyes grew bigger and she started jumping like a little girl.

"Emerson it's so so so beautiful" she said

I felt happy. Seeing her happy and close to me is what I always wish and I can do anything for this.

I had to push her to come inside as she didn't wanted to leave this "Heaven" in her words.

When we entered the place Diana, the worker here welcomed us.

"Ciao!" she said looking at us. Her smile grew bigger when she saw Jennifer next to me.

"Umm.. hello!" Jennifer said to her and she pulled her into a tight hug.

"Bellissima Bellissima" Diana said hugging her.

I looked at Jennifer who was staring at me confused. She isn't used to such welcome I guess.

"What did she say Belli- something?" Jennifer whispered when Diana left her.

"It means beautiful" I told her and she started laughing.

"Diana she's Jennifer... My girl" I said introducing her.

"So finally you succeeded in getting some beautiful girl.. I was tired of the bimbos you used to bring here" she said and Jennifer gave me a look whose meaning I knew very well.

I asked her to let us rest first and we'll have dinner later and I showed Jenny our room.

"How many girls have you brought here?" she asked folding her arms.

"Oh forget that. See.. isn't it beautiful?" I said pointing towards a painting in the room. She was still staring me and I sighed.

"Okay.. just a few.. but I've changed babe." I said but she didn't seemed to be satisfied with my answer.

"No Making love tonight" she said and went to the bathroom.

"What? No way .. babe listen that was past... Babe!!!" she shut the door  on me and I was standing there facing rejection.

"These women are impossible"  I didn't even completed my sentence when she shouted from inside.

"I heard that"

I went to the other to change and when I came back, she wasn't in the room.

I heard voices downstairs.. she might be with Diana.

I went down and saw both the women sitting opposite each other having hot chocolate. Diana was busy telling her my childhood stories and Jennifer seemed to enjoy them.

"And then he started crying when he fell down and he was covered in mud. His mother and I were trying to calm him but his dad.. that person took pictures of crying and dirty Emerson" they both laughed.

"I even have that picture of his ... Do you want to see?"

"Yes please" Jennifer said laughing.

"Comeon Diana stop embarrassing me Infront of her" I said but she brought my childhood pictures.

"Hey don't " I tried to snatch them away but Jennifer took them and bursted out in laugh after looking at them.

"Aww Emerson you were so cute.. I wanted to kiss this baby" she said kissing my pictures.

"Kiss me baby" I said forgetting that Diana was still there and she was looking at me like a mother who was just ready to give a lecture on what I said..

"Dinner's ready.. please come" she said motioning us towards the dining area and we followed her.

"Kiss me the way you kissed my picture" I whispered in her ear and she smacked me with her elbow.

"Oouchh" I cried in pain.

"Are you fine Emerson?" Diana asked worriedly.

Jennifer was smiling and winked at me.

"Yeah.. fine.. let's eat I'm hungry" I said and we sat on the dining table.

Jennifer's POV

"The food is amazing Diana.. I really loved the pasta sardines.. " I said licking my lips and Diana looked very happy to hear this.

"Thanks a lot Bello!! But this man here" she said pointing towards Emerson who stopped in the middle while eating. "Never appreciated my cooking".

"Don't say that Diana.. your food is..  edible" he said laughing and I slapped his arm.

"Shut up Emerson.."

"It's okay Jenny.  She knows how much I love her" he said getting up and hugging her from back.

"She's my second mom" he said kissing her forehead and I was like awwww.

I haven't had this good time since long. I was fine before.. I was happy but I'm much better with him. I just hope this never ends.
