“I swear there will be no kissing or touching involved. I am all yours, bright eyes, nobody else can take your place. I don’t want to be anyone else’s,” I say firmly.

She lifts her head. Capturing my lips with hers we share a rough kiss. She places a hand on each of my cheeks, touching me tenderly. The contrast between the passionate kiss and her tender touch thrills me. She abruptly stops, pulling back slightly, and says raggedly, “Mine!”

“Yes.”

My heart is racing along with my pulse. I’ve never had anyone willing to fight for me or want me the way Alana does.

“I am not afraid to fight the bitch if I need to,” she says with sass, making sure I know she would fight for me.

I smirk. “Oh, you would?”

Alana smirks back. “Yes, without hesitation. I got to fight for my man.”

“Your man. I like the sound of that, bright eyes.” I smile, pecking her lips.

Alana flashes her beautiful, bright smile at me. “I would do anything for you, Ezra.”

“And I for you, beautiful.”

The more time we spend together, the harder I fall, and the more it makes me want to sort things out so we can be together properly. Alana and I will be together without anyone being in the way soon, and I will do whatever it takes to make it happen.

I’min the spare room packing my things away for tomorrow after a good morning and afternoon with Ezra. I am trying my best not to cry. I hate this. I don’t want to leave. I don't like the thought of spending my time alone again or not having Ezra next to me at night. But what I hate the most is that Bella will be around. She will get to have time with him, which has been on my mind this last week.

Bella doesn’t care for Ezra. She checked in with him once in the last week when he was supposed to be sick. Who does that? If it was me, I would have been over here taking care of him. I probably shouldn’t be judging her, especially after the things I have been doing with her man behind her back. I wish he would end things with her already, but I know it isn’t that easy.

I toss my things on the bed and sit down. I sigh, tugging at my hair in frustration. “Fuck!” I hiss, feeling the tears build up. Ezra is down in the kitchen making us dinner, so he can’t hear me.

I bury my face in my hands, letting the tears finally fall. I know I will still get to see him, but this last week with him has been incredible. It felt like a real relationship with no lies or secrets. We could just be us without worrying about anyone else. Now we need to go back to sneaking around and trying to make time to see each other.

I let myself cry for only a minute before packing the last of my things. I close the bag and slip it under the bed. I need to freshen up before I head down to join Ezra or he will notice straight away. I don’t want him to know how upset I am because he already feels guilty about me having to leave tomorrow.

I stop in the bathroom, splashing some cold water on my face and putting a little foundation under my eyes to disguise the puffiness. I fix my hair and take a deep breath. I make my way through the house without issue since I know my way around now and head for the kitchen. The closer I get I hear Ezra talking on the phone.

“Yes, Bella, I will see you tomorrow,” he says softly.

My heart tightens in my chest at the sound of her name coming from his lips. I stop in my tracks, not wanting to walk in when he is in the middle of a conversation.

“Okay, yes, we can do dinner and drinks.”

It would seem they are planning a date night, which means I will be alone on my first night at the hotel. I shouldn’t be surprised. She is still his girlfriend after all. I can feel tears coming again, but I quickly wipe them away.

I don’t move from my spot until I hear him say goodbye. I wait a minute before strolling into the kitchen, pretending like I wasn’t outside listening to his conversation.

“Hey, do you need help with anything, babe?” I chirp, acting like I am okay.

Ezra turns his attention to me, studying me closely for a moment. “Alana, you have been crying. What’s wrong?” he asks sadly.

He comes over to me and reaching for my hips, he pulls me to him.

I flash my best smile at him. “I am fine. Nothing for you to worry about.”

Tenderly he reaches in and places his hand on my cheek, looking me straight in the eyes. “No, you aren’t, Alana. Please don’t lie to me.” He sighs.

I sometimes forget how easily he can read me. I whimper, hating myself for being so jealous. “I just don’t like the thought of leaving here and staying alone. I also overheard you make date plans with Bella.”

Sadness takes over his face as he listens to my words. “I don’t want you to leave either sweetheart. I hate the thought of you being alone.” I can hear the concern in his voice.

He holds me tightly to his muscular chest. “I will try to find a way to get out of dinner with her.” He lovingly strokes my hair.
