Love Me

Chapter Two| Lily
🌸

Banging on the door is what wakes me up from my slumber. Aleksio groans next to me and buries his face into my chest.

"Lily? Princess, why is the door locked?" My dad questions.

"I locked it last night, I didn't want you barging in and waking me up but clearly that's not stopping you!" I yell.

Theres a pause before the door handle is jiggling.

"Lily Morello, open this door right now!" I begin to panic, knowing full well he will break the door down.

"Aleksio!" I shake him and he groans. "You need to get out, come on!" I get out and try pulling the six foot two, muscled boy out of my bed.

"Lily Baby, no." He whispers with his eyes closed.

"My dads outside!" I whisper yell, as my dad starts to bang on the door. "Get. Out." I push him onto my balcony so he can climb down the tree.

"I'll see you later, for the dinner?" I nod my head and shoo him away. "Tell me you love me." He demands and I roll my eyes.

"Yes, I love you. Now go." He smirks and climbs down the tree, effortlessly.

"Love you too, Lily!" He yells and my eyes widen.

"That boy is in there isn't he!" I hear my dad roar. "I'm gonna fucking kill him!" I take a second to compose myself as I watch Aleksio run over to his car.

I make my way back into my room and unlock the door. My dad pushes past me and starts searching my room for Aleksio.

"Where is he?!" He turns to face me with angry eyes and I give him an innocent smile.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" I shrug.

He clenches his jaw.

"Don't test me, princess. I will get that tree cut down." He threatens, pointing his finger at me and then he storms out the room.

"Flip sake!" I mutter and start getting ready to go shopping with my mum. Once I make it downstairs I smile when I see my two younger brothers, Liam and Levi.

"Lily, Lily!" My eight year old brother squeals and I pick him up.

"Hey, Levi." I kiss his cheeks and he smiles brightly.

"Liam." I nod and he nods back, paying more attention to his phone.

"Where's mummy?" I ask Levi.

"Kissing daddy in the kitchen." I roll my eyes and put him down, making my way to the kitchen.

"My innocent eyes!" I shriek as I see my mum and dad, kissing each others faces off.

"Lily, sweetie. You ready to go shopping?" My mum smiles, hopping off the kitchen counter and pushing my dad out the way.

"Yes, mummy." She pulls me into a hug and I smile.

"How is Aleksio?" She whispers so only I can hear and I grin at her. She grins back and winks.

"Good." I whisper back.

"So, princess. Who was declaring their love for you in your room?" I turn around and see my dad scowling at me.

"What? Are you feeling okay, dad? You look a bit sick. Come on mum, lets go shopping." I drag her out before he can say anything else.

•••

"Is Aleksio coming for dinner tonight?" I smile and nod my head as we browse through the shops. "You two not together yet?" I sigh.

"I don't think he likes me like that, mum." I pick up a dress and smile at how nice it looks.
