"Thanks Ezra." She replied giving me a big hug which I returned."Anything for you, angel" I said kissing her forehead."I'm going to use the bathroom" I added leaving the bed and heading towards the bathroom.I quickly washed myself and brushed my teeth before drying my hair with a towel and combing it with my fingers. I put on some clean pants and a shirt that I usually wear while working, so I left the room and went downstairs. I wanted to wake up my mom, but then again, maybe I shouldn't disturb her sleep because she did work a lot lately, I don't want to bother her with unnecessary things. Besides I'd rather spend some time alone with her, since she's such a great company and she always makes me happy, so I decided to stay by the stairs and watch her sleeping."I wonder if I can wake up my mom today" I thought. "I mean if I do I might have to wait until tonight, but if I don't I'll definitely be able to wake her up in no time".I waited patiently and watched her sleep, but soon
"That's fine" I responded. "You're right, it would probably be better if I drove home, but don't worry, Alessia and I won't tell anybody about this deal, you'll never know" I reassured him."That's good, now please take your leave and don't forget to bring her back safely, you can count on me." He assured me as I nodded in response. "Oh by the way, your mother's condition hasn't changed at all, so she still has a chance of recovering, she's just sleeping peacefully at the moment.""Okay, thanks dad. I'll come back as soon as I can and try to convince her that she should get better." I replied with a relieved sigh."I'll make sure to keep that in mind son." He said and after that we said goodbye and finally left together with our daughter.Once we were out of sight I stopped at my parent's driveway. "So you wanna head home now?" I asked Alessia."Yeah, that would be nice." She agreed and we climbed into the car.I started the engine and started backing out of the driveway before star
"Because last night you said that you want to spend the rest of our lives together and that's okay if you wanted to go to sleep, but I didn't want to force myself on you..." I explained."Don't worry about that, I already made that decision a long time ago. And besides, that was only a dream, it's just a dream anyway." She replied shrugging."Still, I'd like to spend time with you, but if you want to sleep, I won't complain." I told her as I gave her one last kiss before turning off the light.The next morning, I woke up early since I wanted to cook breakfast for Alessia. I made pancakes with chocolate chips and whipped cream, and a lot of syrup.By the time I had finished cooking breakfast, she came down the stairs still wearing my tuxedo shirt and pants, but without her makeup. "Good Morning." I greeted her with a smile."Morning" She replied yawning. "You cooked breakfast?" She asked me."Yeah, I figured that you needed some food after what happened last night" I explained."I app
"Thank you, I will try to keep a note of it. I haven't read any of these things that you've written so far. What does it say about you?" She asked."Well, most of the time it's about my family and sometimes a little bit about me, but mostly it's mostly about you." I replied blushing."It's beautiful, what are you planning to write next?" She inquired."I don't know yet." I replied."You better think of something quickly, otherwise I'll steal it from you and read it first." She warned."Hey! Don't even think about that! It's mine." I joked."Whatever you say, I'm going to my room, I'll see you in a few hours." She informed me and kissed my lips before getting up.She headed upstairs and closed my door behind her. After she left I got lost in my thoughts for a while. She is so cute when she gets embarrassed, so cute. And now it was almost late night it must be late at home and I should start preparing dinner soon.After a few minutes I decided to check up on Alessia. When I entered her
"What is it?" I asked surprised."Open it" She instructed.Slowly I removed the bracelet from the bag and I looked at it for several seconds, I didn't know what to say. So I just put it in the palm of my hand and tried not to burst into tears."Alessia..." I breathed out as I took her hand in mine.She grabbed the bracelet and put it on my wrist. She then grabbed my hand and gently kissed my knuckles. "Do you like it?" She inquired with a smile."Yes." I nodded. "But why?" I asked her."Because I thought that it suits you." She explained as she leaned forward to kiss me on the lips.I held her tightly by her waist, as the kiss intensified I moved closer to her. When our tongues touched, I felt a spark and fireworks were going off in my brain. As much as I wanted to continue kissing her I couldn't, because our lips were swollen and our lips were sticky. I pulled away slightly and rested my forehead against hers."I love you." I whispered."I love you too." She replied kissing my fore
I searched through my pockets and realized that I didn't have any money on me. That meant I would be able to buy food, but then again we had already bought food yesterday so why would we need more money today? I didn't understand my family, I honestly didn't understand them. They were always very strict and they treated me like I was an ant that had crawled into their house and started making a mess, but lately I had been thinking that maybe they weren't that bad. Maybe they cared about me a little bit. But I wasn't so sure anymore.As the tears kept falling down my cheeks I ran outside trying to find something to use as money. But unfortunately I didn't have anything on me, it seemed like my mother didn't trust me with her money anymore. I wiped my tears away and looked around for anything else that I could use, but all I saw around me was broken glass and trash bags."Come on, think!" I muttered desperately.Finally I noticed a newspaper lying on the ground near a pile of garbage
"Ezra you're so dangerous can you control yourself?" I joke.He smirks and kisses me. After that he moves so that he is hovering above me. He places one hand on my waist and his other hand cups my cheek while he presses our lips closer together. He then lifts my top up and starts rubbing his tongue against my breast. It tickles me slightly which makes me smile. He then takes the nipple in his mouth and I let out a small yelp, my hands gripping his hair tightly. Soon I feel his hands roaming further down my body until he reaches my underwear. I let out a small whimper when he finally pulls away from me. I open my eyes and stare up at him, and I suddenly feel self-conscious."You can touch me, Ezra, I'm not going to break." I whisper softly.After hearing what I said his eyes widen and he stares at me. I smile, although I know that I'm lying, he hasn't even touched me yet. But I can tell that it really matters to him. He slowly starts unbuttoning his pants and takes it off. I let out
Suddenly I notice Ezra leaning against a building. His arms are crossed and I can't help but smile. He looks adorable with his glasses on, and even though he tries to hide it I can still see him blushing slightly. I guess he noticed me watching him since he immediately snaps his head in my direction and begins waving at me happily. I wave back excitedly, thinking to myself that I'll definitely tease him about this later, but for now I'm happy. I walk over to him and grab his arm, leading him somewhere where we won't be disturbed.Once we arrived we sat down on a bench and Ezra took off his glasses and placed them safely in the pocket of his jacket."What did you need to talk to me about?" He asked after looking up at me.I sighed, wondering how I should phrase this."About yesterday... I'm so sorry." I apologize."Oh come on Alessia, you're not to blame, I'm the one who brought this up." He protests."Still, I'm the one who said it. If I hadn't started talking about it you wouldn't
"Here it is." She said giving him the jacket.Riccardo puts it on and turns around to face her."Thanks."She smiled sweetly at him."Where do you want me to carry you?" She asked."You can carry me over your shoulder." Riccardo said.Alessia roll her eyes."You know, I'M NOT THAT BABY. YOU CAN DO IT WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS AND DON'T ASK ME TO PUT MY BACK ON YOU OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT."Riccardo looks surprised at how fast she reacted after what he said."Alright, whatever you say." He chuckled.And so Alessia carried him over her shoulders.As they were going towards the elevator Riccardo spoke."So, are you going back to work tomorrow?" He asks."I think so. My boss told me that she wanted me to come back to work as early as possible." She answered."That means I'll be able to spend more time with you, won't it?" He asked."Yeah, probably, but don't expect me to kiss you every time that you come home." Alessia joked.Riccardo laughs at her comment."Ok." He says "Well, I guess we sh
The next morning, Alessia woke up early. After getting ready quickly she went downstairs to see Riccardo waiting for her."Morning, baby girl," he greets her and give her a peck on the cheek."Morning, Riccardo." She replied as she sits on the table."Let's have breakfast together, I made you breakfast earlier." He said.She gave him a small smile."Thank you."After eating their breakfast, they decided to walk through the city. They walked hand in hand. It felt natural for them. When they reach near the park, they decided to sit on one of the benches."Have you been planning this for long?" Asked Alessia."Yeah, since last month. Why?""Nothing."Alessia leans her head against his shoulder. As they continue walking, Alessia couldn't hold it anymore."Do you really want to adopt my babies?" She asks."Of course I do." He answers without any hesitation."But I mean, why did you choose us?" Riccardo sigh."Honestly, I don't know. It's all I dream about for years." He paused. "When I wa
"That's a very valid question. And I don't blame you at all for missing me, Alessia. But don't feel guilty, okay? I would never be mad at you or upset if you ever thought about coming back to me. In fact, if you do decide to return, we'll talk more about this situation, alright?" She requested with a small smile.As soon as I heard the words we will talk being said aloud, I felt slightly relieved. However, it only lasted for a short amount of time because I immediately thought about what Ezra had said to me the night before. He had asked me to wait until tomorrow to give myself a chance to talk about the things that troubled me, so now, I was starting to wonder whether my decision to wait was a good idea. I decided I needed to ask her about it."Actually, I need to ask you something...about yesterday afternoon," I said nervously."What is it?" she asked curiously."I don't know how to word it exactly...but I have these weird feelings...and I'm beginning to think that maybe I should r
"This was a really fun game, Alessia. I think I'm going to enjoy playing it more often," she mentioned, smiling genuinely."Me too. And I'm glad you enjoyed yourself today. I missed you playing poker," I admitted."And I missed you too, Alessia. Thank you for everything you did. We wouldn't have survived without you," she said sincerely.Just then, someone knocked on the door and announced Ezra's arrival. A moment later, he entered the room with an excited smile plastered across his face."Sorry I'm late. I got caught up on a case and had to do overtime," he apologized."It's alright. You were lucky that it was only one extra hour," she commented.I gave Ezra a quick hug, while everyone else congratulated him on finally arriving back."Wow, you smell great!" I commented, noticing how fresh his hair smelled."Thanks. That means a lot to me," he said happily.We all then headed out of the house, saying our farewells. As we reached their car, I noticed the car seats had been removed and
We both got up and made our way down the hallway to the kitchen. There, I saw our family eating together. They all looked quite happy and excited. My heart filled with happiness upon seeing everyone looking so content. It was truly a perfect family.As soon as I arrived downstairs, I spotted them sitting together at one of the stools at the kitchen counter. I walked over to them and took a seat beside her."Hey," I greeted."Hey," Ezra responded."I'm sorry for waking you," I apologies."Oh, it's not a problem. I didn't mind getting up early anyway," She stated cheerfully, waving her hand dismissively.I chuckled softly to myself and turned my attention towards my mum who was busy cooking breakfast."Mum, please don't cook too much. I might not be able to handle it after all," I pleaded.She chuckled."There's plenty more where that came from," she reassured me."Thank God," I whispered in relief.Alessia suddenly jumped up from her seat and ran out of the room, running past me and a
Without saying another word, I followed him into the bedroom, closing the door behind me as I did so. I laid down on the bed and he crawled onto the mattress and pressed a kiss against my forehead. I immediately melted into his embrace. My eyelids started to droop tiredly. Dan chuckled and kissed my temple."Go to sleep, Alessia," he ordered softly.I hummed contently and closed my eyes, relaxing into his touch. Soon enough, my breathing slowed and deepened until it eventually stopped altogether. Ezra smiled to himself as he looked down at me, admiring my peaceful expression. I was sleeping soundly in his arms. The events of yesterday were finally catching up with me and I could barely keep myself from falling asleep. The exhaustion was setting in and I could barely keep my eyes open. I sighed softly as Ezra rubbed circles against my hip soothingly.He leaned forward and rested his chin atop my head, gently brushing away the strands of my loose hair and placing a gentle kiss on th
"Okay, love, I get it. Let's not talk too much and just get ready for breakfast. Then we should probably hurry up and eat before everyone arrives," he said playfully.I nodded and smiled.I felt so loved by Ezra. He gave me more joy than anything else in this world. Even though I'd never admit it out loud, he was definitely the most important person to me in this world. Every time I thought about losing him, my heart broke and I felt so empty. All I wanted to do was hug him tightly and tell him how much I loved him. I had never had anyone give me unconditional love Ever.I had never experienced that type of warmth. I was used to people only caring about the fame I brought them. It scared me to think that someone would ever care about me. And that they would love me unconditionally.I shook my head to clear my thoughts and glanced up at Ezra nervously. There was no way I would be able to hide the emotion in my eyes if I dared to speak. The words seemed stuck somewhere in my throat."
"Marry me," he muttered between heavy breaths."Huh? Why?" I questioned, staring up at him in confusion."Because...because I want you to marry me," he repeated.I gasped quietly in shock, unable to speak a word. Dan's dark eyes were filled with determination as he stared at me intently.ToYah, yah, yes! Of course, I'll marry you!" I blurted out hurriedly.I immediately slapped a hand over my mouth. My voice had come out so loud and I could tell that Ezra had definitely heard me. I bit my lip anxiously and glanced over at him nervously. But surprisingly, he didn't react at all he merely chuckled softly and kissed me tenderly on the lips."Good girl," he murmured softly. "Now come here," he added.I reluctantly crawled towards him. Once I was close enough, he pulled me into a tight embrace and hugged me tightly."Are you okay?" he asked worriedly."Yeah, I'm alright," I assured him.I couldn't believe I had just proposed to Ezra. Sure, I'd always known that it would eventually happen,
"I love you so much," he whispered in my ear before pressing his lips against mine.I felt my cheeks flush brightly again and I closed my eyes in anticipation. As soon as our lips connected, I felt my senses begin to dull and my body relax. All of my worries and problems melted away, leaving nothing but bliss behind them. Nothing mattered except for Ezra."I love you too," I replied softly.After a moment, I pulled away, breaking apart our kiss. I took a deep breath and exhaled loudly."So...are we going back to watching TV now?" I asked hopefully.He chuckled softly."We can continue watching whatever you want," he replied. "However, are you sure that you're alright?" he questioned.A part of me wanted to lie and say everything was fine, but I knew that I couldn't do it. I couldn't hide the truth from Ezra. Besides, he probably already suspected something, judging by the look in his eyes. So, I decided to answer honestly instead."Honestly? No. Not really. I' m just tired," I admit
