Taste of Peaches

18

I heard the door open and steps creak from somone coming up the stairs. "Mia!" Alessandro gently called when he made it to my room and slowly opened the door.

"What are you doing here Alessandro?!" I angrily said through gritted teeth as he walked up to me and pulled my body into his arms.

"Helping you love. Now what do you feel like?" he asked and I just gave in knowing that he was already infected with whatever sickness I had.

"Shit." I muttered into his chest while pushing my face into his side.

I felt him put his hands on my face and pull it out while taking in my appearance. I hadnt showered for at least two or three days or washed my face.

"I got some stuff from the drug store, I'm going to take your tempetur ok?" he asked and I just noded while trying unsucsefully to lean back on my bed. Although Alessandro kept his grip on me while pulling a thermometer out of a white grocery bag.

"Can you open your mouth for me Mia?" he asked and I just did what he asked without much protest as he put the thing in my mouth. When he pulled it out I saw him look at it and the just shake his head while placing it on the nightstand and pulling me up into his arms so I was bridal style.

The sudden movement made my head spin and all I could do was clutch onto his shirt.

"We are going to go take a shower. And then you can go back to bed." I didnt pay much attention to his words as I did the side of his neck that had a sudel hickey visible.

When did that happen??

I asked myself and the image of us doing the nasty flashed through my memory. I didnt really remember what had happened that night except for the fact that we had ended up having sex.

The next thing I knew I was being set on the bathroom counter and Alessandro was pulling off my t-shirt leaving me naked other than the underwear I was wearing.

I saw him take off his clothes in front of my two while only after pulling off my underwear.

He wrapped his arms under my arms while telling me to hold on which I did without much complaint.

He walked into the shower while sitting us down so I was laying on his lap.

I started feeling water fall on my back and Alessandro slowly run his fingers up and down it in a soothing motion. I felt my head drop to his shoulder where I closed my eyes and just embarrassed the feeling of our entangled bodys.

I felt him start gently scrubbing my body with a lofa and when I felt him stop his hands move my head so I was leaning on his chest.

I felt his hands start washing my hair while I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Alessandro pov:

I felt her fall asleep in my arms as I was washing her. Once I had gotten the shampo out of her hair I reached up and turned off the water. While gently cradling her to my chest.

I wrapped her small body in a towel while just sitting there in the shower cradling her next to my chest while I waited for her to dry off.

I didnt really know why I had decided to come over to her house after she had told me she was sick.

Maybe it was the sound of her voice but I just felt like I needed to be there for her.

From the second I saw her I was able to see how closed off she was.

I knew she wouldnt ask for help and I couldn't bear the thought of her suffering alone.

So the second I got off the phone with her I went home, packed a bag, made my way to the store for some things she might need, and then came over to her house.

She had sent me her garage code a while ago and the second I got in her garage I started questioning whether I should be here with her.

After Maddy I had never really moved on even though it had happened almost two years ago. Mia was the first person I let break down some of my walls, and she didnt even know it.

The first time I saw her while at the racing event in Spain I couldn't help but take a liking to the girl.

If I'm being honest I never thought of her as my type. I had always gone for the short petite brunette's who wouldnt care to follow everything I said.

She just didnt fit into the girls I had dated before and broke every rule I had set for myself. I knew for a fact that I loved her. I think that's what hurts the most.

In the beginning I just kept waiting for the next shoe to drop, and then when it never did I realized that the shoe was really me.

At some point I was going to fuck up and ruin her life.

I didnt know what it was yet... but I knew it was going to be my fault and I couldn't let her feel the way I felt for her.

I just couldn't.

As I got a clean t-shirt from her closet and placed it on her while tucking her back in the covers of her bed. I got on some clothes while getting under the sheets with her while pulling her to my chest.

I felt her snuggle up to me and I warmed my heart.

I knew it was going to break me when I had to leave her again but looking at her now lying peacefully next to me. I couldn't help but want to enjoy the time I had left with her.

Because I knew there was an exspiration date.

Mia pov:

I woke up to being snuggled against a hard chest. When I wiggled around a bit I felt him grunt and pull me closer to his chest.

As gently as I could I crawled out of his grip and found myself in a t-shirt. Realizing I must have fell asleep in the shower made me flush with embarrassment but I slowly got out of the room and made my way downstairs where I found a bag on the kitchen counter.

Just as I was about to pick it up I heard a voice booom behind me and I yelped in surprise quikly turning around to identify the figure.

When my gaze met his a grin fell apon his features and I flushed out of embarrassment.

"What are you doing out of bed Mia." he said in a stern voice and I let my gaze fall to the floor before I felt him start pulling me over to the coach where I felt myself being pulled onto his lap.

I shivered from the cold air and soon after felt Alessandro pull a blanket from the couch around us. I snuggled my head into the crook of his neck with much content and felt him pull me closer to him with his arms around my waist.

"You might get sick now..." I grumbled out with annoyance lacing my voice and felt his chest rumble beneath me.

"That's a risk i'm willing to take, princess." he spoke out while laying me on my back and slowly getting off the couch.

"I'm gonna go wash your sheets and make some dinner. How about you just relax here ok?" he said and I just nodded before falling asleep again.

I would be lying if I said I felt better but having Alessandro here made it better... even if not physically. I don't know why I was so attached to him.

Sure we got along well but...

Never mind.
