I’ve never felt so elated, having him here, in my bed and in my arms. It feels so right.
Even if I know it can only last until the morning comes.
* * *
I wake up and I momentarily don’t realize what’s happening.
Then it all clicks into place.
The middle of the night.
Enzo.
His warmth, his strong arms wrapped around me.
I jolt up and spin around in bed to see the empty space.
I see the crease in the pillow where he laid, and other than his scent that still lingers, it’s the only trace that he was here at all.
I pull the pillow to my face and inhale, the smell of him flowing all through my body, reaching every cell and every mortal of my being.He didn’t even stay to have sex.
But I get it, he can’t exactly get caught here. My ma is in the next house and it’s only a short distance to the front door.
I snuggle into the pillow, closing my eyes as I remember our night of comfortable bliss. I may never get enough of how he makes me feel, even if he drives me mad half the time.
I just don’t know how we’re going to get past Angelo’s rules without him never speaking to Enzo again.
But a part of me thinks we need to come clean if we’re going to do this, and another part tells me I’m stupid and to leave it well alone.
I’ve never been very good at listening, that’s the problem.
Remembering Enzo’s livid face last night makes me feel bad for rubbing him up the wrong way, but I couldn’t help the fact he did ignore me for weeks and that hurt. We go back a long way, and I care about him. I always have.
When I finally get out of bed to go make coffee, I stick my head in to check on Bianca. She’s still comatose, so I put the coffee machine on and check my phone. Sure enough, there’s a message from Enzo and my heart leaps.
Enzo: Did anyone ever tell you you’re the cutest sleeper when you’re tipsy?
I roll my eyes, my heart giddy at the fact he’s playing all coy.
Me: Actually, no.
Enzo: Good, let’s keep it that way.
Me: Does that mean you’re going to be in my bed more often?
A long pause awaits as he types back.
Enzo: It means that you’ve got a lot of spanks coming to you after last night’s stunt.
Again, my heart does a flutter.
Me: Promises, promises.
Enzo: One thing you know about me to be true,Belladonna, is that I always deliver.
Me: When am I going to see you?
O
