I must have fallen asleep. When I wake up I'm alone in the bed. Getting up sleepily I go inside the spacious bathroom. Turning on the shower, I exit the bathroom going into the closet. There are no clothes for me for obvious reasons. I take out a black linen button down from Emillio. Going back into the bathroom I undress and slip Into the shower. I let the scolding Hot water beat down on my muscles releasing the built up tension. I use Emillios shampoo and body wash. After being in the shower for quite some time I grab a white fluffy towel from the towel warmer. I dry myself off before pulling on my black underwear. Not the Same ones, different ones that I keep spare on my purse just in case Mother Nature unexpectedly pays a visit. The black linen button down went down to my knees graciously covering my butt

I dry my hair with the towel.
Finding an extra tooth brush I brush my teeth and head out into the bedroom. I wonder back toward the bed. I start thinking about the rules

If I want to make this easy, I'll be a little saint. Listening to everything he has to say. I won't let my explosive attitude make my life a mess. Not for awhile anyhow I thought to myself. I look over at the alarm clock to see that it's 3 am. I sit back and pull my knees to my chest hugging them tightly.

I hear the creak of the door quietly. Not wanting to look up I hide my face deeper Into my knees.

"Stai Bene Bella?" His voice emits from the end of the bed. (Are you alright beautiful?)

I don't reply. I merely nod my head. Wait , hold the phone. Did he just call me beautiful? Wow. Cue the blushing.

"Risposta me Rosalia." His voice affirmative. (Answer me Rosalia)

"Sí." My answer quiet and weak. I don't dare to look up at him. If I look at his beautiful face I will be locked in a mesmerizing gaze.

I hear slight shuffling and a few drawers open and close. He comes back and climbs into the bed. Before I know it he grabs me an pulls me to his bare chest.

"No il tuo non Che cos'e?" He whispers in my ear. (No your not. What is it?)

Oddly enough the feeling I had from before vanished as if it was never there. Somehow I'm relaxed against his body. I feel.. Safe. Protected. Maybe it wont be so bad after all.

"Sto Bene. Davvero." My accent lacing my words. (I'm okay. Really.) .

I smile to myself. I subconsciously snuggle against him. Not realising what I'm doing until there's a light peck on my cheek. I realize that i put my body flush against his. Chest on chest with my head nuzzled into the crook of his neck.

"Buonanotte." I whisper. (Goodnight)

"Buonanotte Bella." His voice husky and sleepy.

What have I gotten myself into?
