disappeared out of the room, leaving Teri completely intrigued by the beautiful doctor.

Chapter 7
    It was a short plane ride and the couple found themselves in the Eternal City, Rome. Katrina was already excited, but seeing the love and enthusiasm Willow had for the city delighted Katrina. They didn’t waste time; after checking into their hotel they headed out to rent a scooter.
    Katrina was terrified as she sat on the back of Willow’s scooter. She felt like her life was going to end in Rome as Willow zoomed past cars and down alleys. The terror subsided as she admired the city. It was the perfect mix of old and new. Historical ruins sat next to Italian restaurants and cafés. Katrina couldn’t believe her eyes as they pulled up to the Coliseum and parked the scooter in an area with a bunch of other ones.
    â€œHey do you want to put your money stuff in my money pouch? I hear the pickpocketing is really bad out here.” Katrina surveyed the area around them.
    â€œOh yeah, it’s pretty bad; you better keep that thing close.” Willow smirked.
    â€œAll right, don’t be looking at me when your passport comes up missing.”
    Katrina noticed the confused expression on Willow’s face.
    â€œWhy would you bring your passport?” Willow questioned.
    Katrina realized it was dumb of her to bring her passport. She stuffed it in the money pouch she bought, burying it deep under her clothes and against her chest.
    â€œKeep walking, ignore them.” Willow grabbed Katrina’s hand as they whisked past a group of men aggressively trying to sell them scarves. They were relentless in their pursuits and the moment they made it past the first group another group selling other random trinkets appeared. It only took a few moments of men shoving crap in their faces for Katrina to have enough. Things changed the moment she was clear of the men and able to truly take in that she was standing in front of a monument she had dreamed of seeing her whole life.
    The Coliseum was breathtaking. Katrina stood outside admiring the massive ancient amphitheatre. Willow turned around when she realized Katrina wasn’t walking beside her anymore. She ran back to Katrina who was in awe of the building.
    â€œWhen I was a kid I was obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology. I watched Hercules and Xena faithfully every day when I got home from school. Recently the new show Spartacus became my favorite show on television.” Katrina continued to stare at the structure. “I can’t believe I am actually standing here.”
    â€œWell wait until you are standing inside.” Willow smiled. “Come on you rebel, follow your Domina.”
    Katrina was impressed. Willow obviously watched the same show she did by her use of the lingo. Willow led Katrina up the stairs. She put her hands over Katrina’s face and guided her to a platform.
    â€œReady?” Willow said as Katrina nodded her head.
    Willow moved her hands. Katrina’s mouth fell open as she overlooked the inside of the Coliseum. Sunrays shined down illuminating the green grass that peered through the massive columns of brick that created entryways and rail systems back in the day.
    â€œThis is fucking amazing.” Katrina admired the massive arena.
    â€œI stayed here for a month once, and every day I would come admire the beauty of this place. I love the way the sun peeks through each archway.”
    Katrina held Willow’s hand as the two stood in silence just existing in the moment.
    After the Coliseum they hopped back on the scooter. They took a stop at the Church of Santa Maria where Katrina stuck her hand in the Mouth of Truth. After passing countless beautiful fountains they allowed themselves time to wander around the Roman Forum. Exhausted, they headed back to the room where Willow fell asleep in Katrina’s arms. When they finally woke up it was dark outside.
    â€œOkay, I’m starving.” Katrina rubbed
