Chapter 7

The next afternoon everyone pilled in an Airport Pick Up Van and drove to the airport, Emily was excited to be going to the one place in the world that she had always wanted to go. Joe was excited that he going to have a stress free week with Emily, when they reached the airport they went though security and checked their bags. They sat down waiting the call of their flight when Emily pulled out her copy of the book ‘Eyewitness Travel Rome’, Joe looks over and laughs.
“What?”
Emily asked as she opened the book.
“Leave it to you to bring a book.”
“Hey this book happens to have a lot of useful stuff I just want to know as much as I can before I get there. Like the places I want to see number one on my list is the Trevi Fountain, did you know that it’s origins go back to Roman times and that the water that flows in it has two names: Virgin Waters and Trevi. The first refers to an ancient legend about a young Roman girl who showed the source of the spring to some thirsty soldiers; whereas Trevi derives from the old name for the area, which was originally called Trebium. This next bit of info I find really interesting it is said that if you throw a coin over your shoulder into the water, you will be sure to return to Rome. It’s so beautiful I always wanted to see it up close and person and finally get too.”
Joe smiled reached over and grabbed her hand squeezing it and asked,
“What are some of the other places you want to see?”
“The Spanish Steps.”
Joe couldn’t help but smile cause she was going to love that the hotel room that they reserved it has a balcony that over looks the Spanish Steps.
“Among other things I have a lot that I want to see and I hear the food there is great.”
Emily said.
“Good thing you know how to speak Italian.”
Joe said and Emily laughed.
 “I ringraziamenti per invitare me su questo viaggio”
Emily said and Joe looked at her confussed.
“That is thanks for inviting me on this trip in Italian.”
Emily said and Joe laughed.
“You don’t need to thank me, I know you need a vacation and I know how much you always wanted to go to Rome. Plus even though I would be with my family I would be spending more time, calling, texting or IMing you the whole time.”
Emily smiled and they heard,
“Flight 284 to Rome is now boarding.”
“Ready guys?”
Mr. Jonas said and Joe and Emily got up and followed them, once on board the Airplane they took their seats Emily sitting next to Joe by the window Joe next to her, Kevin and Nick in the two seats in front of them and Mr., Mrs. Jonas and Frankie in the three seats across from them.  About three hours into the 8 1/2 hour flight to Emily had fallen asleep resting her head on Joe’s shoulder with her Ipod on, Joe reached over and picked up her Ipod seeing that she was listening to Celine Dion’s song ‘Taking Chances’. Emily is the biggest Celine Dion fan and Joe can remember just like yesterday how she reacted when Joe took Emily to see Celine’s Vegas show ‘A New Day’ back in two thousand and six true it was just two years ago but Joe knows he will never forget how happy Emily was that she could get to see her idol and meet her backstage. Emily started to talk her insleep.
“L'amo Joe ha sempre e farà sempre.”
Joe could only make out his name in the sentence.
“That’s Italian for I love you Joe always have and always will.”
Joe’s eyes nearly popped out of his head and his mouth fell open and he was about to wake her up when she said it again,
“I love you Joe.”
Joe’s heart started to race but a smile couldn’t help but to spread across his face.
“I love you Joe.”
She said it again and he looked over at his parents to see then with the headphones on watching the move.
“Did she say what I think she said?”
Nick said making Joe look in front of him to see Kevin and Nick turned around in their seats facing them.
“It depends what you think she said.”
Joe said biting his lip to try to suppress his smile.
“She just said I love you Joe twice and she’s asleep.”
Kevin said Joe couldn’t help the blush that creped up to his cheeks and down his neck.
“Ha so you did hear it.”
Nick said making Kevin slap him gently on the back of his head.
“So what if I did.”
Joe said going back to reading the book he was reading.
“You know what you should do this whole week?”
Kevin said making Joe sigh shutting his book.
“What would that be big brother?”
“Show her this week that you two should be more then friends.”
“Everyone knows it's meant to be, falling in love, just you and me”
Nick started to sing and making Kevin again slap him gently on the back of his head.
“Yeah bro Kevin is right you can’t sit there and honestly say that even though Em is asleep that hearing her say I love you Joe doesn’t send you heart soaring to the heavens.”
“That was just cheesy and corny Nick.”
Kevin said shaking his head.
“But it’s the truth and you two know.”
Joe moved Emily’s head to the other and leaned forward whispering,
“My true feelings for her maybe your right Kevin maybe I should take this week to show her that we can be more then friends. After all we’re be in Rome her favorite city in the world and one of the most romantic places in the world.”
“Ah yes Rome the eternal city the perfect place to confess to ones true love.”
Kevin said in his best Italian accent and Joe and Nick laughed.
“Okay I’m going to do it.”
“Good for you.”
“Your going to do what?”
A groggy Emily said and Joe’s mind stop fearing that she heard everything they were talking about.
“Nothing babe.”
Joe said sitting back and Kevin and Nick turning back around.
“How much longer till we land?”
Emily asked leaning her head back on his shoulder and lopping her arm through his wrapping her fingers around his forearm.
“Don’t know we only been in the air for three hours.”
“God this flight is too long.”
Emily groaned barring her face his shoulder.
“What did you expect baby to poof to Rome.”
Emily looked up at Joe laughing.
“Funny.”
Emily reached into her tote bag and pulled out her book.
“Hey Em can I see that book on Rome you bought?”
Emily handed Joe the book and Joe took it then started to go through it trying to come up ideas for things for them to do during this week.

Chapter 8

When they landed it was ten thirty at night, they went to baggage claim and got their luggage, then went and rented van for the week. They drove to the hotel and on the way there they passed some landmarks and Emily was in aw at the all around beauty of Rome, once at the hotel they walked up to the front desk and checked in. They rode the elevator up to their room with the bellhop once at the room Mr. Jonas unlocked the door and they all walked in. The room has a huge living area with a balcony.
“There’s two bedrooms with two beds, Kevin, Nick, Joe and Emily you guys will share a room. I know two people sharing a bed isn’t on the top of your list but this is all they had but the sofa is a pull out so who wants the.”
“I’ll take it.”
Nick said raising his hand cutting Mrs. Jonas off.
“Alright Nick has the sofa bed and Frankie is in the second bed and in me and Dad’s room.”
Emily followed Joe and Kevin into the bedroom.
“This is sweet.”
Kevin said getting on the bed and jumping up and down.
 “Kevin Paul Jonas stop jumping on the bed.”
Mrs. Jonas yelled making everyone laugh and Kevin dropping down on the bed.
“Hey Em I wonder what the view is like.”
Joe said.
“Yeah the curtains are closed.”
Kevin said then chuckled earning a glare from Joe, Emily walked over and opened the door walking out onto the balcony she saw a great view of the Spanish Steps.
“No way this is so awesome.”
Emily said Joe smiled saw a vase of red roses on the table next to Kevin’s bed walked over took one from the vase then walked out on the balcony. He walked behind Emily then placed the rose in front her and said,
“Una rosa per una bella signora.”
Emily smiled taking the rose from Joe who then wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.
“Did you just say a rose for a beautiful lady in Italian?”
Emily asked looking over at Joe.
“Yeah I took your Italian Dictionary when you feel asleep and I learned a few words.”
“Remind me next time to keep my stuff close.”
They both laughed and looked out a the streets in front of them to see a couple standing at the base of the Spanish Steps, the guy got down on one knee with something that both Emily and Joe knew was a ring box with an engagement ring in it. He said a few words then the women said a word and jumped into the guys arms, Emily sighed feeling a over whelming since of sadness hit her.
“Hey what was that sigh for?”
Joe asked and for the first time picked up on how sad Emily gets whenever she’s sees an engaged couple, weddings or newlyweds.
“Nothing just me being stupid.”
Emily looked down her hands grabbing the railing.
“No what is it?”
“Have you ever thought about where you’re be five even ten years from now?”
Joe nodded his head.
“Well when I think about where I think I’ll be five maybe ten years from now you know what I see? Me working, no relationship of any kind except our friendship. No boyfriend, no fiancée’ no husband and when I look further no kids. What if my life will be nothing but working what if I never get married and never have kids? What if I do get married and my marriage ends up like my parents? What if I end up alone with twenty cats?”
Joe turned her around to face him.
“Where is all this coming from?”
He asked moving a stray piece of hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.
“Think about it Joe I’ve only had two serious boyfriends and both lasted not even six months total. I just I realize that I’m not anything for boys to fall over.”
“Are you joking me? I would love to know what you see in the mirror cause it’s totally different then from what I see and what I’m holding in my arms right now. A beautiful, smart, funny, spunky, dedicated, caring, hard working women not to mention you have a body that Britney Spears would kill for right now.”
Emily laughed wiping the tear away that feel from her eye.
“You can sing pretty darn well and your very talented it that and playing the piano. Any man would be lucky to have you and any man that wouldn’t want you is stupider then a pot of beans.”
Emily laughed making Joe laugh.
“Em your only nineteen and you have been though a lot in the past years you deserve to be happy just like everyone else.”
Emily nodded and pulled Joe into a hug.
“Guys oops sorry didn’t mean to interrupted.”
Kevin said then started to back away but Emily and Joe pulled away.
“You weren’t interrupting anything Kevin why would you think that?”
Emily asked.
“No reason anyway Mom wants us all in the living room to go over something’s and order something from room service.”
Joe and Emily nodded following Kevin back into the hotel room and out to the living room.
