"You'll wear a small white dress and throw a bucket of flowers down an aisle"

The words came out of her mouth without any hesitation as she walked into the living room, met with startled stares from both Mattia and Alejandro

But the looks on their faces didn't suggest that they were disappointed. Especially not the glance Mattia offered

He seemed shocked at the fact that she had been listening in on their rather private conversation

"Mommy I can wear a white dress?" Adalyn's face lit up joyfully as she jumped off her father's lap and ran into the hands of her mother

Giving in to the hug, Dawn nodded as if it was a silent response to her daughter's question. Her eyes met with Mattia's. And they locked for what seemed to be hours.. days... years

It seemed like the world was on pause. It felt almost unreal to be in this rather weird situation

It felt nostalgic... more or less. The idea of two highschool sweethearts being in this position

She let go of her daughter and watched her trot into the kitchen; followed by laughing coming from Michelle.

The two were conversing.

Alejandro stood up with his hands finding their way to the pocket of his jeans as he walked past Dawn with a small but sly grin; before making his way into the kitchen

"And then there were two" Mattia said quietly earning a small giggle from Dawn as she stared down at the ground for a quick second before looking up at him

He was gazing into her eyes as if he was lost. And for a second she gave in to that picture

"M-Mattia can we talk?" She cleared her throat and he nodded immediately at her sudden words

"Uhm- yeah of course" he stood and set his hands in his pockets as he followed Dawn upstairs

She opened the door to her bedroom and had Mattia shut it behind him.

His body leaned effortlessly on the doorframe as he waited for her to say something.

But it was weird...something felt weird

She clutched her arms together as her feet kicked at the rug that was embedded into the floor

"I'm sorry the topic was brought up. I know you don't want me placing any ideas into her head-"

"It's okay, she asked the questions. You just responded" the woman said softly

But Mattia only shook his head. "I know. But it's my fault. I'm sorry"

"Mattia don't be sorry for something you don't need to apologize for" she looked up at him

Their eye contact sent shivers down her spine.

And then it was nothing but silence in the room.

Two polar opposites standing directly in front of each other but only feet away. If one of them had stepped even a centimeter closer to the other it would erupt something bigger than the two would expect

And Dawn was willing to do that.

She took a step closer to him and felt her throat go dry. Her breathing rapidize. Her heart pound

Mattia lifted his chin slowly as he watched her slowly but surely approach him. His hand pushed off the door frame and he took the large step that connected the two so their chests were practically on one another's

He placed his hand on her neck and felt her shiver with the grip of his fingers along her skin. Their foreheads connected and their lips moved hesitantly.

She licked hers and he licked his. Quickly. Quick enough so that neither of them would notice they were preparing for a possible kiss.

But then the door slammed open causing Mattia to jolt his head away from Dawn's.

She pushed herself off of him as she quickly backed away with her hands on her chest

They were met with a yell. A masculine yell. A man was shouting. And Dawn knew who it was.

In fact, they both knew who it was

His voice caused her to wince.

"Dawn!" He yelled and pushed his black hair away from his face. Dawn and him made eye contact before he broke it and looked off at Mattia

"Torvas leave" her voice shook

"So you don't answer my calls. You don't answer my texts. You completely ignore me to be with him?"

"Torvas leave before I call the police! Who let you in!"

"Do you think I couldn't figure out there was a spare key under the doormat? Do I look like an idiot?"

"Mattia call the police!" She yelled and he took his phone out of his pocket immediately. She heard him dial numbers as the room went quiet for only a second

"You know how worried I was for you?" The man asked deeply. Dawn ignored him as she stared at the ground

"Do you know how worried I was!" He yelled

"You cheated Torvas it's over! It's fucking over just get out before I have you arrested!"

"And you mean to tell me that you and this asshole haven't kissed? I'm no idiot I know how this shit works. You still love him-" he pointed his finger at her as his other hand was crunched into a fist that could jolt up at Dawn at any second

"I want you to get out. Now"

"Yes 911" Mattia talked into the phone in the background. His voice was faint to Dawn. All she could hear clearly were the yells between her and Torvas

"Michelle!" She screamed as her eyes were locked with his. "Michelle! Alejandro!"

"I'm not leaving until you tell me you'll give me another chance!"

"You're fucking insane!"

"I love you! It was a mistake! I fucking swear I made a mistake!"

"Get out!" Dawn yelled as she saw Torvas frantically look around the room

She backed farther away.

"Mattia hurry" she said to the man who was talking quickly into the phone

"And you still choose him" the man raised and eyebrow as the tone of his voice went up.

That's when the ball his fist was placed into earlier had raised from his sides and swung towards Dawn's face
