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
After I've finished eating, I wash my dishes. Once I'm done washing my plate, I slowly carry it over to the sink. I slowly rinse off my plate. I carefully hang up my dishrag. I gently place the plate next to my other dirty plate. I slowly walk over to the sink. I carefully pick up my dirty plates. I slowly rinse off my plate. I carefully place it next to my other dirty plate. I slowly walk over to the sink. I carefully hang up my dishrag. I slowly put the plate next to my other clean plate. I slowly place my plate next to my other dirty plate. I carefully pick up my plate. I slowly walk over to the sink. I carefully hang up my dishrag. I carefully lay my plate on the drying rack. Once I'm finished putting everything away, I slowly make my way back upstairs. I slowly open Ezra's bedroom door. I quickly slip out of Ezra's room. I quietly make my way downstairs. Once I reach the kitchen, I quickly grab a cup and fill it with water. I slowly make my way back upstairs. Once I'm standin
I slowly begin to run my hand through my wet hair. Once I'm completely dry I quickly change into my normal clothes. I'm dressed, I slowly make my way back to Ezra's bedroom. I slowly open the door. I slowly enter the bedroom. I'm inside of the bedroom, I gently place Ezra onto the bed. Ezra's on the bed, I slowly move my hands away from his sides. I'm far enough away from Ezra, I slowly crawl back over to the side of Ezra's bed. I carefully climb back over Ezra. I carefully place Ezra back onto the bed. Once Ezra's completely back on the bed, I carefully pull the blankets back up over him. I tenderly kiss Ezra on the forehead. I gently squeeze Ezra's hand. I'm done hugging Ezra, I slowly get off of the bed. I'm off of the bed, I silently leave the room. I quietly creep out of Ezra's room and head downstairs. I'm downstairs, I quickly pour a bowl of cereal for myself. I'm done eating, I slowly start to clean up the kitchen. I'm finished cleaning up the kitchen, I slowly make my wa
Ezra and I were finally home! Well, technically I was home, but Ezra stayed at Ezra's house. We ended up staying at Ezra's house until we all decided to go home. Ezra told me to stay the night since I spent the majority of the night working anyways. I didn't mind though. I'm actually glad that Ezra chose to stay at my house rather then his own. I would have slept in a hotel if he had suggested that instead of sleeping at Ezra's. Even though we both tried to convince him to let us stay at my apartment, he refused to let us. He said that it wouldn't be right for him to put us both under the same roof. It took some convincing, but eventually Ezra agreed. After all, he knows I never would've listened to him anyway. So we stayed at Ezra's house instead.It's been three weeks since the team got back from the mission. Three weeks has passed, but I am still unable to forget about what happened at that mission. Every single time I close my eyes, I still remember everything clearly. And ev
Suddenly, my earpiece began buzzing. I instantly reached into my pocket and pulled out the communication device. The only person I would respond to by putting the communicator on speaker mode. Immediately after activating the communicator, I heard a familiar voice. "Alessia? What's going on? Where are you?""Hey," I sighed. "What's going on? Have you seen anyone? Anyone suspicious?""No. No signs of anyone. Are you okay? Do you know if the others found anything?" she asked. She was clearly worried. I felt a pang of guilt hit me. I didn't mean to worry her. She was worrying enough for the both of us."Yeah, they're fine." I assured. "They haven't come back yet.""Alright, are you sure you're alright?""Yeah... yeah, I'm fine." I lied.After a few seconds, he replied. "Okay, we'll meet you back here, Alessia. Stay safe.""See you soon."When I ended the call, I quickly put the communications device away and pulled out my gun. My fingers wrapped around the grip of the rifle. I was ready
"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
