Blushing

I managed to get some sleep. Yes, I woke up a few times but Damiano managed to make me feel safe enough to fall back asleep each time. Damiano was over me like a rash. I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it though. He had his arms wrapped around me so tightly, I could feel his breath on my neck. It was warm, I really had missed him. He had his body pressed right up against mine. It's almost like he was scared I was going to get up and leave. I did consider doing that. But something stopped me. Just having his body on mine made me feel protected. I was allowed to enjoy a moment with him wasn't I? It's not like I've made it official. Yet?

I feel Damiano move a little, his arms are still holding me tight. I better get up. I roll out his arms trying not to wake him up and walk into the bathroom. I look in the mirror about to fix my hair.

"Fuck I'm naked" I whisper to myself.

I quickly run back out to the bedroom to get my clothes I had on yesterday.

"Shit, shit, shit" I whispered again, seeing they were still extremely damp from last nights rain.

I run over to Damianos closet in search for anything I could wear. I found an old hoodie of mine I must have left here before we broke up. Well it was Damiano's hoodie originally but I call it mine. It's long enough to cover me up properly. I slide it over my head and walk back into the bathroom. I wash my face with water and find my old toothbrush and start brushing my teeth. I had no idea I'd left so much stuff here. Seems like half of my products were still in his bathroom. I find my makeup bag. I don't know why he didn't get rid of this stuff! I put some mascara on just to look a little better and also some lip gloss. I didn't want to look as if I was making an effort. I brush my hair into a middle parting and leave the bathroom.

Damiano is still asleep. He looks so peaceful. His eyes are closed and his lips look so soft. His arms are still stretched out as if he was still holding me. I look at him for a minute. His hair is messy and in his eyes. He's so cute. Stop Marlena! I want to get my feelings for him gone but at the same time I just want to love him and be with him..
A tear began to fall from my eye. Why am I getting so emotional? I lean forward and kiss his head. I don't even know why. God, why am I crying?

I had to move. I walked downstairs and decided to make myself some coffee. I opened the curtains for him as I used to do and reached up to get a coffee mug from the high cupboard. I can never reach properly.

Then I feel a hand on my back and see an arm reach up over me getting a mug down for me. Dami was tall enough. He put his hand on my wait and put the mug on the counter in front of me.

"Buongiorno, Marlena" he said reaching over me again, switching the coffee machine on.

He quickly kissed my neck rather nervously before turning away.

"Good morning, Dami" I say smiling at him slightly.

I try not to smile too much.

"I thought you had left when I woke up and you were there"

"I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye..."

He smiles at me. I get my coffee and go sit down at the table. He follows me, sitting opposite me.

"I see you've found 'your' hoodie" He says smiling.

"Yep, still smells like my perfume" I say

"Did you sleep okay?" He asks sweetly.

"Yes, thank you" I say taking a sip of my coffee.

I try to avoid eye contact but he keeps staring into my eyes, intimidating me really. I gave in. I looked at him in his eyes. They were so beautiful. He really started to smile at me.

"What" I giggled as he continued to stare.

"You're so beautiful, Marlena"

My cheeks quickly turned rosey. I kept blushing. I tried not to smile but I couldn't help it. I looked at him, a huge smile on my face. He smiled back at me.

"You're blushing" he laughed.

"I know" I laughed back trying to hide my face.

It's silent for a second. We just sit there smiling at each other. It was a nice moment.

"It's cute" he says

I just take a sip of my coffee smiling at him. It goes silent again. God, I think I love him. My mind is still puzzled.

"On a more serious note Marlena..."

Oh god. What was he going to say?

"I really do love you. Do you think we could get back together?"
