Issues

24

As my sleep finally gets over me, my eyes open and start to adjust to the new lighting in the room.

I felt an arm around my waist, and my head was on someone's chest. I bring my head up and look at Lorenzo.

He looks so peaceful.

I try to get out of his grip and head into the bathroom. From the bathroom, I do hear some movement and the phone ringing.

"Hello?" I hear Lorenzo say in his sleepy voice. "What!" He says right after.

Soon enough he leaves the room. I do everything I need to do and I leave the bathroom.

'Lorenzo is still downstairs' I think to myself and head down.

I stop mid stairs as I see Lorenzo arguing with Sofia. "I need you to leave." He demands.

"Oh come on Lorenzo." She replies. Her eyes travel over to the staircase where I was. "Amora." She states. Lorenzo's lips part, "I knew it." She mutters.

"That's enough," Lorenzo warns her.

"I'm sorry, did I do something?" I ask them both.

"No Amora you didn't do anything." Lorenzo reinsures me. I walk down and fiddle with my necklace.

Sofias phone starts to ring, she looks at the caller id name "you're lucky I'm leaving this." She tells Lorenzo before walking out.

"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back," Lorenzo says to me, I nod and I watch him walk upstairs.

"What the fuck?" I whisper to myself. I receive a text from Kai '5:30' he gave me time.

I click onto the text and reply with a thumbs up. Soon enough Lorenzo came downstairs and stood right in front of me.

"Are you sure I didn't do anything?" I ask. He cups my face and pulls me in.

"You didn't do anything, love." He whispers against my lips before kissing them.

I swear this shit is getting close to friends with benefits.

What do you mean you're already are?

Shut up-

I'm not even kidding.

He pulls back, "hungry?" Lorenzo asks, I nod my head and I make my way over to the barstools.

"Have you been with anyone this young?" I ask him out of nowhere.

He pauses and turns to face me. "What?" He asks me.

"Have you been with anyone... young as me," I ask him once more. He takes a moment before answering my question.

"Have you been with anyone as old as me?" He jokes. I playfully scoff.

"I told you, I've never had a boyfriend before," I tell him.

"Exactly, it's the first for the both of us." He smiles. And that's when I notice a small dimple on his face. I've never noticed that-

Lorenzo turns around and grabs a pan. He takes a deep breath and says something to me. "Listen Amora." He starts off.

Which caught my attention. "I'm not that type of guy to do relationships." He says.

Ouch, that hurt.

"But." He adds on.

Oh?

There's a 'but.'

That's good.

"But?" I repeat his words.
