I start walking toward Ezra and then I stand right behind him and I place my hands on his shoulders. Ezra leans his head backwards a little and then he closes his eyes."What are we doing today?" Ezra asks me."Uh…" I reply. "Nothing much…"I trail off and then suddenly, Ezra turns around and he grabs my hips and then he pushes me onto the couch. Ezra crawls up on top of me and then he straddles my hips. Ezra leans in closer and then he gently kisses me. As usual, Ezra is gentle with me. He makes sure not to hurt me and he doesn't take advantage of me. I wrap my hands around Ezra's neck and Ezra slides his hands underneath my dress. I pull away from Ezra, resting my head on the sofa and then I exhale. Suddenly, I remember that we haven't talked about the past few weeks. I don't know why I hadn't thought about it before but I guess that's because it hasn't come up. Ezra pulls away from me and I notice how he's breathing heavily and he quickly runs his hand through his hair."Sorry.
"Can you believe we have been working for ten hours straight already?" Ezra asks me."Yeah." I say. "It feels like it took forever.""So…what do you wanna do?" Ezra asks."Honestly? I don't even care anymore." I answer. "I just want to go home.""Me too." Ezra agrees. "Come on, let's go."And then I nod my head. Ezra stands up from the couch and he holds his hand out for me to grab. I grab onto Ezra's hand and then we walk out of the house. There are two police cars parked outside the house and then Ezra leads me over to one of the cars. The first thing I do when Ezra helps me into the car is unbuckle my seatbelt. Ezra sits down next to me and then he starts the car. Once we've started driving, Ezra takes a quick glance over at me."How was work?" I ask him."Pretty normal." Ezra answers. "How was yours?""Good." I reply. "Really good.""Anything interesting happen?" Ezra asks me.I look over at him and then I shake my head."No." I reply.I feel Ezra's fingers gently rub against
A few minutes later, I hear footsteps coming across the living room, making their way over to my bedroom door. As soon as they stop, I hear the bathroom door open and then I hear Ezra walking out."Hey." Ezra greets me."Hi." I reply. "Didn't mean to fall asleep on your couch last night.""It's okay." Ezra says. "I didn't mind."Ezra reaches forward and then he grabs hold of my hand. Ezra pulls me along with him into the hallway. Then he opens my bedroom door."Let's get you ready for bed now." Ezra suggests."Okay." I reply.I give Ezra a small smile before I follow after him. Ezra walks into my bathroom and then he turns around and he faces me. Ezra leans against the wall and he watches me."What did I miss while I slept?" I ask him."Nothing much." Ezra replies. "We just talked a little bit."I furrow my brows together."Really?" I ask him."Yeah." Ezra says. "You know we had an entire discussion about your father and everything. How does that sound?""That sounds amazing." I say
"It doesn't matter." Ezra replies. "I still enjoy watching you eat."I smile. I pick up my spoon and then I stir the soup in my bowl. I bring the spoon to my mouth and then I take a sip of my soup. II swallow my food and then I wipe some cream off the corner of my mouth. I set the spoon down onto my plate and then I lean my elbows onto the table and then I place my chin upon my palm. I stare at Ezra for a moment. Ezra looks up at me. He smiles at me."Is there something on your mind?" Ezra asks me."Not really." I reply."Good." Ezra says."Why are you asking me if there is anything on my mind?" I ask Ezra."Because you've been sitting here with your head resting against your palm and staring at me all day." Ezra says."That's because I'm thinking about something." I tell him."About what?" Ezra asks me."I honestly don't know yet." I say."Do you want to talk about it?" Ezra asks me.I close my eyes briefly."Maybe tomorrow." I say."Tomorrow it is." Ezra replies.Ezra pushes himse
Ezra slowly leans in and then he presses his lips against mine. We kiss passionately for several minutes. Ezra breaks the kiss. He pulls his arm from under my waist and then he pushes himself up on his elbows. Ezra smiles. He brushes his lips against mine again and then he places his forehead against mine."I am glad to see that we're okay." I murmur."Me too." Ezra replies.Then I kiss him. Ezra puts his hand back beneath my blouse and then he traces his fingertips over my stomach. Ezra's fingers trail down and then his hand slips underneath my blouse. When Ezra's hand touches my stomach, my hands begin to tremble. I lean forward and then I press my lips against Ezra's. My hands slide up Ezra' chest and then I grip the back of Ezra's shirt with my hands. Ezra places his hands on the sides of my face and then I feel Ezra's thumbs brush across my cheeks. A soft moan leaves my throat. Ezra kisses me. His right hand slides across my stomach and then he rests it against my belly butt
I quickly follow behind him. Ezra places my hand on his arm and then I gently squeeze his arm. Ezra looks back at me. Ezra's eyebrows furrow together. I gently pull him closer to me. I rest my head against his shoulder and then I hug Ezra tightly. Ezra brings his other hand up and he holds the back of my head. I slowly pull away from Ezra. I place my hand against Ezra's chest. I feel Ezra's heart beat against my palm. I stare at Ezra's green eyes which I haven't noticed until now. I place my hand on Ezra's cheek and then I stroke my thumb along Ezra's cheekbone. Ezra places his hand against the back of my hand. I tilt my head and then I press my lips against Ezra's. I can taste the minty toothpaste that Ezra uses. My tongue dances with Ezra's as our tongues dance together. Ezra gently bites my bottom lip. I can feel that Ezra is smiling. Ezra pulls away from me."Let's eat something shall we?" Ezra suggests."Yeah, that sounds nice." I reply.Ezra and I walk out of the bathroom t
"Are you feeling better?" Ezra asks."Yeah, actually. I am." I tell him.I carefully place both my palms against the side of Ezra's face. Ezra's hands snake their way down to my waist. Ezra leans his head against the back of the couch. Ezra closes his eyes and I slowly trace my fingers across Ezra' cheekbones. Ezra slowly opens his eyes. His eyes meet mine."Are you okay?" Ezra quietly asks."Yeah...yeah, I'm okay." I assure him.I lean forward and I place my lips against Ezra's. Ezra quickly cups the side of my face with his hand. Ezra runs his fingers against my face. Ezra's lips softly brush against mine. Ezra's lips gently brush against my lips. Ezra gently pushes himself against my body."Ezra?" I whisper against Ezra's lips."Mhmm." Ezra hums in response.I grab onto Ezra's shirt and I pull him impossibly closer to me. Ezra's hands reach around my waist. Ezra's hand rubs up and down my back. I feel Ezra's hand slip under my dress. I wrap my arms around Ezra's shoulders. Ezra s
I gently run my fingers through Ezra's hair. I slowly place my lips against Ezra's neck. I gently nip at Ezra's neck. Ezra lets out a slight groan. I slowly place a light kiss right below Ezra's ear. I start trailing my fingers slowly down Ezra's chest again. Ezra slowly lets out an even louder moan. I smile against Ezra's neck. I lightly trace my fingers down Ezra's back. Ezra slowly moves his hand from my back up to my waist. I gently run my fingers down Ezra's back again. Ezra softly bites his bottom lip. I softly kiss Ezra on his jawline. Ezra slowly pulls himself away from me. I slowly let my head fall back onto Ezra's chest. Ezra's hands travel from my waist and he slowly runs them down my back. Ezra gently runs his fingers through my hair. I slowly close my eyes. Ezra continues to run his fingers through my hair. Ezra's hand slowly slides down my back. I slowly open my eyes. I slowly bring my head back onto Ezra's chest. Ezra slowly leans his head against my hair. I slowly
"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
