18.

A soft caress wakes me up next morning. A hand going through my hair, to my back, softly.

I open my eyes to see Enzo already awake, looking at me with fond eyes.

Ohh! His eyes!

His eyes looks beautiful, the colour of whiskey. And with sunlight falling on his eyes- they look ethereal.

I reach out a hand to palm his face, he leans into my touch and then touches my lips with his.

"Morning"

"Morning, beautiful", he replies in a gruff morning voice. Why the heck is that sexy?

"Have you been awake long?", I ask him.

"No just now", he replies still touching my hair

"So... we need to talk.... Last night was.....", he hesitates.

Please don't say it was a mistake.
Please don't say it was a mistake.
Please don't say it was a mistake.
Please don't.
Don't.
Please.

"...... it was amazing."

Thank you god!

"Yeah, it was", I reply with a soft smile.

"Get up and get dressed. Let's talk before Trevor arrives"

"Okay"

But we both don't get up. I press myself to him. He hugs me and gets on top of me.

" You're cute in the morning"

" You're quite handsome yourself"

Then he kissed me.

Then we got carried away.

I really thought that I got lucky with the bomb sex because it was our first time, turns out the second time was just as good.

We heard his phone ring as we were coming down from our high. He gets up to get to his phone and answers it. I think it's his mom, guess that Trevor is back. Our talk would have to wait.

;

After that night we couldn't get free time together for next three days.

On my first night off, he came over with Mexican food.

"Smells delicious", I said.

"You're more delicious", is his flirty reply.

Fuck I'm blushing.

In the past three days we've texted with each other and talked on calls a few times. I've never seen this side of Enzo.

He flirts like there's no tomorrow.

It's been amazing three days. Even if I've had hardly 14 hours of sleep in the last three days, I'm still in my peak mood tonight.

Fucking serotonin. Those things are probably singing and dancing in my blood tonight.

I can't wait to finish food and get to the better part of the evening.

Enzo settles down on the sofa when I come back after cleaning the table.

I sit besides him with a bit of distance that I want him to remove from between us.

"So we should talk first", he says after clearing his throat.

"First?"

"Before we start to do something more interesting", a hint of smile in his voice.

I smile at that.

"Bonnie you should know that I liked you from the moment I saw you"

Wait what? The first time he saw me I was kissing Damon?

"When?"

"When you just came here and were guiding the movers with a sweet smile on your face. And then...."

"Then?"

"..... then I got angry when I saw you the same day with Damon"

"So the attitude was because of that?"

"Yes, that's right. At first I didn't want to be involved with you but you were so gentle and amazing with Trevor, if not anything then I wanted to continue our friendship"

"Ahh the part where you friend zoned me"

"Trust me it was difficult but I tried my best to think of you as just a friend"

"Understood", well I have to understand, after all I tried to do that too.

"For a long time I thought you and Damon had a thing and I didn't wanted to be at somewhere unwanted so I backed off because of that too. Then I heard you guys talking that day...."

"What did you hear?", I ask him curiously.

"Everything... I heard everything from the beginning. About Damon falling for Elena and Um.... using you to forget her"

"Wha-", he cuts me off before I get angry and says-

"I wasn't trying to eavesdrop or anything I was coming to ask you out for dinner only, when I heard you guys arguing. So I stayed in case you needed my help with anything"

"Okay go on"

"From that I came to know that you are not really interested in Damon, that you guys are really just friends. And I started to hope to be with you"

"I already liked you. Well at first I thought you were an asshole but knowing you for a while, I understood that you're not an asshole without reason"

"No, I'm not", he defends himself and places a kiss on my nose.

"The point of this whole conversation is that I liked you from a long time and I'm serious about us. I'm not at all fucking around."

Wow! Just wow! I didn't know that the words 'not fucking around' could sound so fucking romantic.

This guy with chocolate brown eyes and caramel skin is so fucking awesome. He thought that I liked some other guy so he stayed away from me even though he had so many chances to overtake the other guy. He could have charmed me like he had in past three days, flirted with me or could have seduced me, post drinks, in my case it would have totally worked.

But he didn't! He waited like a gentleman till I made the first move. And then he stayed at the door? Worried about me?

"I love you too"

Shit what the fuck did I just say??!!
