I frown in confusion and then I realize he' talking about my dress."Why?" I ask him."Because you have quite a big figure." Ezra informs me."Oh really?" I tease."Yes and when we go shopping together I bet you'll look hot." Ezra states confidently.I blush and I can feel my cheeks turning bright red."You think I'm sexy." Ezra says smiling broadly."Stop it." I mutter quietly."Never." He replies happily.After a while of wandering through stores we finally decide to call it quits and head back home so we can have lunch together.When we get back I lock the car and then I follow Ezra inside the house and then we both make our way upstairs."Are you hungry?" Ezra asks me."Not really." I reply."Then let me fix us something to eat." He says as he starts heading for the cupboards.I glance at him and I see that he's staring at me expectantly."Whatever you want." I say and he smiles before he disappears into the kitchen.A few minutes later, Ezra emerges carrying two plates and two cu
"That you still want to be with me even after you learned that you might lose me someday." I tell him."Of course I do." Ezra says seriously."But still, you said that you wanted to protect me from everyone. But now, I keeps wondering if you weren't protecting me from all of this." I say, gesturing to my body."Of course I wasn't." Ezra tells me firmly."Really?" I question him skeptically."Really. I know what it feels like to hurt and what it feels like to lose someone and it scares me almost as much as it terrifies me." Ezra reveals.I nod slightly in response."Now that we've figured that out, how about I teach you how to fight today?" Ezra suggests."Sounds great." I reply happily.Ezra smiles and then he stands up from his seat, extending a hand to help me stand up as well, so I take hold of his hand, allowing him to pull me to my feet."Let's go then." Ezra says with a grin.The next few hours pass by pretty quickly and within the hour, Ezra and I are standing outside one of th
"How are you doing?" Ezra asks me."I'm good. What about you?" I ask him curiously."Good, I guess. I have something to show you." He informs me."Oh yeah?" I respond.Ezra nods his head and then he reaches behind himself before taking a small box out of the pocket of his pants and he places it on his lap."What is it?" I ask curious."Open it." He answers excitedly.I oblige, slowly lifting the lid off the box to reveal a silver necklace. When I see what's in the box, my eyes widen a little and I instantly know what it is without needing any confirmation. "It's beautiful." I whisper."Yeah, it is." Ezra agrees."Thank you." I tell him sincerely."For what?" Ezra asks."Just thank you. I love it." I assure him."I'm glad, I was worried you wouldn't love it." Ezra admits."Why would you worry?" I ask him.Ezra doesn't answer my question, instead he just grabs the chain from the box and attaches it to my neck, causing me to smile at him happily. "You didn't have to buy me something l
"We should probably stop now." Ezra tells me.I raise an eyebrow at him in response, clearly not agreeing."Come here." Ezra whispers, pulling me into another kiss.I wrap my arms around his neck and then we pull apart once again, breathing heavily. A couple seconds later, Ezra leans in to capture my lips once again, holding me tightly to him. As we continue to kiss, his hands move down to my thighs and then he lifts them up, putting them around his shoulders. The moment Ezra lifts me up, I wrap my legs around his waist and then he carries me bridal style up the stairs. Once he's inside my bedroom, I close the door behind me, locking it so we can be undisturbed. I let out a content sigh and then I lean against Ezra for support as he walks over to the bed and puts me down on it. After placing my feet back on the floor, I sit cross legged and Ezra kneels beside the bed, looking at me intently."I love you." Ezra murmurs."I love you too." I reply, smiling at him.Ezra stands back up
Ezra hums contently and then he moves lower, attaching his lips to my neck. His tongue traces circles around my throat and then, he makes sure to leave a gentle bite mark, causing my entire body to tense up. Ezra moves his lips lower still, until they're pressed against the sensitive spot where my neck meets my shoulder and then he kisses down my collarbone and then, he finally reaches the hem of my shirt, stopping only momentarily. He hesitantly unties the clasp and then he carefully pulls the shirt off of me, tossing it aside without taking his lips off of me. After that, Ezra continues kissing my body, leaving love-bite everywhere he touches. It's driving me insane how much he loves to do that. Eventually, Ezra pulls away from my neck, leaving me panting slightly. His hands slide under my shirt, running over my bare skin and then he looks up at me with a smirk."How about I make sure that there won't be any doubt that you loved this as much as I did?" He says, grinning smugly.
"Oh my God, Ezra…" I gasp, unable to control myself anymore. Ezra laughs and then he withdraws his fingers, causing me to gasp. He puts a protection on himself and then he reaches for me, rolling me onto my side. His fingers slip between my thighs and then he runs them gently over my clit, sending me spiraling further and further into bliss. Ezra starts pumping his fingers into me, while his other hand strokes up and down my thigh. Soon, I feel a tingle shoot through me and then my climax hits me hard and I can feel Ezra's body tremble against mine as he lets out a low groan."That was awesome." Ezra whispers, his breath fanning over my face as he stares down at me.His words cause another wave of euphoria to wash over me and I can't hold back my orgasm any longer. When the waves subside, I lay back down, wrapping my arms around Ezra and pulling him back towards me. Then we lie together and I lean forward to kiss him tenderly and when we break apart, Ezra smiles down at me and th
"What are we gonna do today?" Ezra asks."Do you have time to go grocery shopping?" I ask him."Sure." Ezra replies. "You pick out anything that you want and I'll pay.""Okay." I tell him. "Come on."I guide him through the kitchen and I point him in the direction of the pantry and then I watch as he grabs several bags of groceries and then he disappears into the hallway. He returns a few moments later and I follow after him as he leads me to his car. After buckling up, Ezra gets behind the wheel and then he backs out of the parking lot and then we drive to the grocery store. Once we arrive, I park the car in a parking spot. After leaving my purse on the seat beside me, we both get out and then we start walking down the aisle."Is there anything you need?" Ezra asks me."Yeah, I think there should be a package of peanut butter here." I reply, glancing around the aisles."Ok." Ezra says, nodding his head. "Which one do you want?""Umm...that one." I respond, pointing to the package
"Are you okay?" Ezra asks me."Yeah…" I mutter. "It's just weird being without you."Ezra sighs softly and then he drops his hand from my cheek. I drop my fork onto my plate and then I take Ezra's hand in mine, squeezing his fingers lightly. I lean forward slightly and then I rest my forehead against Ezra's. Ezra wraps his arms around me tightly and then he buries his face in my hair. For a long minute or two, neither of us say anything. I close my eyes and I wish that time could stop and that nothing would ever change. I wish that everything between us could stay exactly like it is and forever. "Let's go swimming later," Ezra murmurs softly."Okay." I murmur."Maybe after lunch." Ezra adds."Sounds good." I say.I open my eyes and then Ezra looks up at me."You sure you're ok?" Ezra asks."Yeah." I say. "Yes. Just tired.""Alright." Ezra replies. "Get dressed and I'll finish breakfast."After we've eaten breakfast, Ezra takes me to his office and then we sit down. There's an empty
"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
