Isabella's POV:
We were walking near the lake. It was so beautiful. The sun was setting coloring the sky with pink, orange and hues. There was a light breeze making the climate a little chilly. We reached near the deck. I went and sat at the edge of the deck and dip my legs into it. The water was cold but soothing. Alex came and sat beside me after a few moments. "Isn't the water cold?" He asked me. I replied, "Not that much."

He nodded and took his shoes off and folded his pants up to the knee and dipped his legs like I did. "It's so peaceful here," I said. "Yeah. My grandfather made this cabin for my nonna as a gift. She liked nature. But after a few years this house was transformed into a safe house for security reasons," He replied. I nodded at his reply. "Why do you live with your uncle?" He asked me suddenly and I looked up to him. "I mean you work at the café and you do have a degree in software. So why do you live with them? I know they treat you badly." I stiffened at his last sentence but still answered, "They are the only living relatives of mine. I can't leave them." He looked unconvinced with my answer but didn't say anything. "Come on. We should go. It's getting dark," Alex said standing up. I nodded and followed him.

We reached the house after walking for a few minutes. Alex went into the bathroom and I went into the kitchen to prepare something. I prepared a simple mac n cheese.

"You didn't have to do this." I jumped at his voice. His hair was damp and he was only wearing a pair of sweatpants showing off his upper body. He had freaking six pack abs and a tattoo near his heart. I cleared my throat as he smirked, noticing that I was totally checking out. "It's fine." I brushed him off. "Come on I'll set up the plates you can go and freshen up. I didn't have any women's clothes so I left my shirt and a pair of boxers for you to change.' I nodded at him and said, "thank you" and left the room.

I entered the bedroom and saw he did keep the clothes out for me. I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I went into the room and changed into his shirt. His shirt was reaching up to my thighs so I didn't bother to wear boxers and went out. He was sitting at one of the kitchen stools with mobile in his hand.

Alexander's shirt on Isabella

Alexander's POV:

I was going through my mail when Isabella came into the kitchen. And damn me she was looking sexy as hell in my shirt. I was shamelessly checking her out. I noticed that she was squirming. I went towards her slowly as she took every step back. I pinned her to the wall and asked slowly, "Are you more nervous amore (love)?" she gulped and shook her head no, "N-no" "Oh yeah? If I do this you wouldn't be nervous right?" I said and lowered my head into her neck. She smelled like vanilla. I nuzzled my nose into her neck and felt her breath hitch.

I smirked and pulled myself from her neck but kept her close. "I still don't make you nervous Ms. Thompson?" I asked. Her face was red like a tomato. Glad to know that I had an effect on her. "L-let me go Alex," She spoke very softly. I looked into her eyes. They were blue but it felt like they lost the spark. She pushed me back and went into the kitchen. I chuckled and followed her into the kitchen. She was still blushing and I couldn't help but chuckle. "This isn't funny," she whined. "Come on, let's have dinner" I said and went into the kitchen. We ate in silence. After eating we washed the dishes and retreated to the living room.
