I woke up at eight in the morning and went out on the balcony to get some fresh air. Last night was... eventful. I loved the action that happened in Greece because the danger was something that I couldn't live without. But what the hell was I thinking when I did what I did with Liam?

It was like my exterior vanished. Like he had somehow cursed me to like him. I wouldn't let this go further than I could manage, but I couldn't understand why I even gave in.

Yes, I liked him, but I didn't want a relationship because of the possible outcome. Also, we were different. Far too different. I just didn't see us happening. No one would even approve.

The weather was surprisingly very warm and nice. I looked around the property and noticed Liam in the swimming pool. I didn't want him to know my presence and just silently watched him. His back muscles were on full display as well as his tattoos.

God, he's so handsome.

He turned around and looked up. Fuck. He smiled.

"Buongiorno, darling" I gently waved at him. "You should join me, it's really relaxing." I smiled.

"You just want to see me almost naked."

"True, but I know you'd enjoy the water." I smiled. I fought the demons inside me. I shouldn't go. I shouldn't. But... Fuck me if this ends badly. I need some fun.

"Alright." I went back into my room and began to change into my swimwear. I chose a one-piece, black swimsuit with a deep cut and halter neckline. I put my hair in a high bun, grabbed my sunglasses and put my black flip-flops on. On the way out, I grabbed a towel and got out of my room. As I hurried towards the doors, I bumped into Tyler.

"Oh sorry, I... You look very nice, Miss Rossi." I smiled at him.

"Grazie, I have someone waiting, so I have to go." He nodded and I went outside. Liam had his sunglasses on and immediately looked at me when I approached one of the pool chairs.

"Wow, love, you're the definition of beauty." I smiled as I placed my towel down. I put my glasses on and took off my shoes. He got closer to the latter and gave me his hand for help.

"Grazie. Oh, this is not relaxing, it's cold." Liam nodded and grabbed me. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Liam!"

"Shh... we don't want to get attention now, do we?" I smiled and placed my hands on his shoulders. He let go of me letting me to swim around. The pool wasn't too deep but it reached my shoulders. I used it a lot more growing up. Now, not only do I have more work, but also we barely got warm enough days. The pool could be heated; I just preferred to do things inside rather than here. "How did you sleep?" I turned to him.

"Good, I didn't have any dreams so I guess I got a good night of sleep." He smiled. "You?"

"Good." I nodded. "Keep thinking of how to make you fall in love with me." I smiled.
