were in danger and I was protecting
you. Whereas my father was the one putting us in danger and hurting
us; I understand the difference now".
    "So, you
believe me now?" she asked genuinely, "I always knew you were a
good man, remember?"
    "I believe you
Im" he smiled back, "thank you for believing in me".

CHAPTER
TWENTY ONE

    "There's
nothing quite like waking up in a new city" Luca yawned as he
rolled over and pulled Imogen into him.
    "There's
nothing quite like waking up in a new city, the city of love no
less, with the love of your life" she whispered back, grinding back
into Luca's erection.
    "Hmm… if you
insist Im" he said, sliding his hand over her hip and down to the
apex of her thighs.
    "I thought
you'd be exhausted after last night's efforts Luca" she chided
playfully.
    Taking his cock
and thrusting it between her legs, "Exhausted, huh? You
underestimate me Im", he whispered against her ear before slowly
sliding out of her heat then pounding back in; her stifled moans
all the encouragement Luca needed to take her as he pleased.
     
     
     
    "Juliet's
balcony, then the markets, then some shopping. What do you think
Luca?" she asked as they sat at a café overlooking the Verona
Arena.
    "Fine with me"
he smiled back.
    "Really? Are
you sure there isn't something you want to do?"
    "Im, I'm just
happy to be here with you; whatever you want to do, I'm happy with
that"
    "Ok" she said
excitedly, pulling out her notebook and furiously jotting down
notes.
    "Im, seriously,
you really need a new notebook—that ones a mess. Besides, I thought
I'd given you more than enough material to fill that one…" he
winked.
    "Oh, you've
given me plenty Luca Capello" she smiled playfully, scribbling one
final sentence before closing it up and placing it in their
backpack, "ok, let's go".
    Weaving through
the busy streets, Luca and Imogen gave themselves over to the push
and pull of the crowd. “We must be getting closer” Luca shouted to
Imogen as they rounded one last bend and stood before the tunnel
that led into Juliet’s courtyard.
    Walking
through, Luca felt less than impressed, every inch of the walls of
the tunnel were covered with graffiti and what appeared to be
chewing gum modeled into heart shapes. “I’ve seen undersides of
desks in high schools cleaner than these walls”.
    Standing
shoulder to shoulder with hoards of other sightseers, Luca couldn’t
help but feel that the supposed meaning behind the tourist
attraction had been lost. The courtyard itself was much smaller
than he’d expected, Juliet's house and balcony lined the right-hand
side, her bronzed statue was at the far end, and most surprising of
all, souvenir stores lined the left-hand side. “Fancy an overpriced
keyring or magnet to remember this by?” Luca asked sarcastically,
nodding toward the stores.
    “Oh Luca,
seriously” she smiled, rolling her eyes in mock annoyance. “This is
beautiful; I’ve wanted to see this all my life”.
    “How can you be
so full of wonder for something that’s simply a work of fiction?
It’s not as though this is actually real. And, the story itself is
hardly romantic; four days of lust, carnage, family breakdowns, and
eventual death for both of them” he joked.
    “Ever the
romantic huh, Luca” she laughed. “Look around Luca, everyone who is
here believes in what this place represents; true love despite the
challenges that were thrown their way. It doesn’t matter that it’s
not real, it matters that people believe in the power of love.”
    “Well, I’m not
convinced about the Romeo & Juliet theory, but I believe in
us—is that enough?” he asked, locking his arms around her waist and
pulling her in tight.
    “That’s all I
want you to believe in Luca; just us” she whispered in his ear,
bringing an immediate smile to his face. “Now, about that magnet…”
she laughed, breaking free of Luca’s grip and heading toward the
souvenir shops.

at their hotel, laden with shopping
