*WARNING MENTION OF SELF HARM*

Ezra's POV

Once again I woke up well rested and satisfied. Last night was one of the best nights of my life. Thea was fully exposed to me showing me her whole beautiful self, and I was so grateful.

I felt her brushing against my arm, letting me know that she was awake.

Then I realized what she was tracing on my arm. My stupid fucking scars that I hated the sight of. I wanted to pull away from her and act like they weren't there, but I knew that she deserved more than that.

"I started to cut not too long after my mother died. I was blaming myself and the sadness overtook me one night." I said to her, while she switched from her position on my chest to look me in the eyes.

I made eye contact with her, but I was ashamed to go on with the rest of the story. I felt weak and ashamed that I did that to myself. I closed my eyes, trying to stop the little teardrop that was at the corner of my eye, but it didn't work and the tear fled streaming down my cheek.

"Hey, Angel. I'm here to listen, you don't have to hide anymore." She says to me while whipping my tears.

"When my mom died it brought my whole family down. I was in charge of the whole entire business which added stress. My father was constantly drinking. It retaliated on him letting his feelings out on me. He never did anything physical to me, but he said things to me that hurt deep. One night when I came home from the office, I came home to my father holding a picture of my father, my mom, and me. He looked at me with pure hatred and disgust. It was a look I could never get out of my head." I opened my eyes to see that Thea was still there with her beautiful blue eyes staring back at me, and her fingers were lightly brushing my face.

"He threw the picture on the ground, and said that everything was my fault. He kept repeating that I was a screw up and a disappointment, and he said that my mother should have taken me when she had the chance. After he scolded me he took his bottle of bourbon and stormed out of the house. I went to go and clean up the glass and one of the shards cut me. It felt good to feel something for once after all those months of feeling numb and out of control. The next thing I knew I was using the pieces of glass that once held my happy family to make permanent markings on my flesh. I kept on cutting myself until I was in a puddle of my own blood, I felt like I deserved it because that's what I did to my mother. I let her sit in a puddle of her own blood, because I was too late." I looked over to Thea and I saw that her eyes are watery.

"Oh, baby it was never your fault. The death of your mother was not your fault or your fathers. You should never feel weak or less because of your scars. These scars are living proof of how far you have come. They are the evidence that you are still alive. You deserve to be here Ezra, you deserve so much happiness." she said to me.

Little did she know that she was my happiness.

"You are so beautiful on the inside and out. I could talk for hours about how I love your contagious smile, your adorable laugh, or your beautiful hazel eyes. I have only been with you for three months, and I already know that no one is like you internally. I'm not going to bore you with sappy shit, but you need to know that you are worth fighting for Ezra." she said to me with a smile.

"You are too good for this world, Thea." I said to her while tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. She reminded me so much of my mother, a beautiful and captivating soul that they both possessed.

She could be a killer and a lover at the same time. I didn't want to accept it, but I knew that I was falling for her.

I leaned into her and kissed her. It wasn't like our usual hard and powerful kisses. It was a slow and loving kiss. Her lips were so soft and delicate, I cherished every second that they were on me.

She pulled out of the kiss and had a beautiful smile on her face. She started to kiss me all over and ended with one on my nose. She got on top of me and got a pillow and smashed it into my face. She laughed hysterically on what she just pulled.

"Oh it's on," I said to her before I started to tickle her. She started to kick and scream of laughter. "Ezra, stop" she tried to tell me in between laughs.

She knew exactly how to lighten the mood, and to get me off of my past memories.

She kissed me trying to distract me from tickling her, and it worked. After I stopped tickling her for one second she got up and tried to run, but I caught her waist before she could leave.

She screamed and kicked me trying to get out of my grip. "You are not going out there looking like that love. That is only for my eyes, and my eyes only" I said to her, before lightly tapping her on the ass and taking her into my closet to get some clothes.

I placed her down on the table in my closet and got a shirt from my closet. " You know this wouldn't be happening if you actually picked out pajamas for me last night." She said, punching me in the back. "Shhhh, I told you that it was all you had." We both knew that was a lie. I placed the shirt over her head before giving her another kiss on the forehead.

"You know you owe me a new bra and underwear" She said to me. "How could I forget"

She jumps off the table and heads out the closet door. I slap her butt again, making her jump a little bit. That is my new favorite thing to do. She turns around and punches me in the stomach. "Holy fuck, Thea. You have to give me a heads up first."

"Well you slapped my ass first." she said to me before continuing our journey. I couldn't help but notice that her legs still looked a little sore. I let out a little laugh. She turned around and faced me. "What's so funny?" she said to me with a stern look. "You still a little sore there, love" I said to her laughing again.

Before I knew it she came up behind me, and jumped on my back. "Yes I am still a little sore asshole. Now take us down to the kitchen and make me some damn waffles." I was not arguing with her, so I carried her down to the kitchen.

As we were both laughing after I accidently knocked her into a wall we came in contact with everyone already down stairs in the kitchen. Well this is awkward.

Thea jumped from off my back, and came around to kiss me on the cheek before grabbing my hand and leading me to the island to sit down. Everyone was still silent taking in everything. Thea sat me down and then jumped on my lap. She settled in, "So who won the bet this time." She said to all of the wandering eyes in front of us.

Alex, Hunter, and Riven all take money out of their pockets and hand it over to Xavier and Ana. "Ha told you bitches, I know my best friend didn't have that much will power." Ana said to Thea while collecting her money.

"How the fuck did you know?" Riven asked while chewing down a powdered sugar donut. "Because I know you're weird fucks, and I didn't expect anything else truthfully." Thea said to everyone. I laughed at their childish bet.

"Now can someone please make me some fucking waffles" she screamed out, and that was my cue.
