My Enemy - M.P

Part 44

Y/n's POV

Staring up at the ceiling, I let the three words, he had said to me before we exited his room, replay in my head.

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

He loved me. He actually loved me. 

I can't even describe how I felt when those three words left his mouth. The feeling is indescribable. 

But the joy was short-lived considering that we had to leave his room shortly after, to return back down before anyone got suspicious. 

The rest of the day went by slow. I hardly got the chance to speak to him. Small glances here and there was the only thing that was exchanged between us. 

Once, Kairi almost caught me looking at Mattia, but I swiftly turned my loving gaze into a glare.

Occasionally we would try to sneak away to speak in private, but it never succeeded. 

At the same time as we tried speaking to each other in private, I observed Ale and Amber. They were talking to each other normally, but if someone had taken a closer look, the flirting and touching would have given them away. 

At the end of the day, I thought I would get a chance to talk to him before we all headed to our rooms, but I didn't because Emerald wanted him to put her to sleep. A brief exchange of looks was the last thing I got before he disappeared into her room.

Laying on my bed now, in my room, I suddenly understood how bad I had gotten attached to him. 

A sigh left my lips as I reached out and grabbed my phone, finding his contact number. Clicking into our messages, I started writing. 

Goodnig- 

Before I had written the whole message, I deleted it and put my phone away. Looking over at the time I saw that it was 00.43. He was probably asleep. 

Tossing and turning in my bed, I tried to push him out of my head and go to sleep, but it didn't work. 

Sitting up, I stared at the door father had installed back. It didn't even take him ten minutes to put the door back in place. Now that I looked at the door, the only thing I saw was Mattia breaking it down.

Go see him.

No. 

I laid back down, closed my eyes, and started counting backward from 100. People said it worked. It better work.

I was at 87 when I heard the door to my room getting opened. Someone walked in and turned the key, locking the door. The noise of the locked door was followed by footsteps.

Just by hearing the footsteps, I knew who it was, and when the person stopped beside my bed, my eyes opened up.

"Next time you start to write a message to me", Mattia muttered as he pulled the duvet away from me and got on the bed, "send it".

He got on top of me and placed his arms on either side of my head, resting his body weight on his arms.

"How did you know I was writing you a message?"

"I was in the chat, contemplating if I should send you something or not when suddenly three dots appeared. Almost instantly they disappeared, and I waited, but a message never came. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and come see what you were about to say"

I smiled at his thoughtfulness. "I was just going to say goodnight"

"Nothing else?"

I shook my head. "Nothing else"

Still hovering over me, he pursed his lips. None of us said anything as we just looked at each other. After a few moments, he groaned. "I can't sleep without you"

"Me neither", I mumbled out. 

Bringing his head down, he rested it against my forehead. "I'm so damn attached to you it's scaring me. What if I lose you? What if something happens and I lose you Y/n?"

"Don't think like that Mattia", I softly spoke and cupped his face in my hands. "You're not losing me, I'm not losing you. We have been fighting enough for five years. I'm never going back to that again"

He hummed before lowering his body beside mine. His hand found my neck, and his thumb stroke the side of my face. Turning my head, I looked at him examining me. 

"You know, I love you very, very much Y/n Hart", he gently spoke as he brought his face closer to mine. "More than I can express"

I smiled and reached out, resting my hand on his cheek. "I love you too. More than I can express"

Grinning, he kissed my nose and started tracing circles on the side of my face. "Is it weird if I say that it feels like we have been together for years?"

"No. Considering the way we are speaking to each other I can't fathom that we didn't get along a few hours ago"

He chuckled and let his hand go down to my waist. In a swift motion, he pulled me on top of him. "I quite enjoy this position too, not as much as I like being on top of you, but this isn't bad either."

A laugh escaped my mouth and he winked. "I love hearing your laugh. Music to my ears"

Shaking my head, I slightly moved down and rested my head against his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heart.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

If that noise ever stops, I don't know what I would do. How I would live without his face, his voice, his smile, his laugh, his winks, his flirting, his teasing. Without him.

Don't think like that. Enjoy your time with him.

"Mattia"

"Y/n"

"Promise to never leave", I said and looked up at him. His gaze turned to me and he gave me a reassuring smile. 

"Never. Never in a million years will I ever leave you. If I didn't leave you when I thought I hated you, I surely won't leave you when I know I love you"

Kissing my forehead, he tangled his hand into my hair, and let his other arm rest behind my back. "Go to sleep now"

Turning my face back down, I put my left arm under his right, my palm resting under his shoulder. My right arm rested on top of him, my palm laying over his shoulder. I closed my eyes and relaxed in his arms. 

His hand that was in my hair was gently massaging my scalp, while his other hand was rubbing my back.

Sleep had almost got to me when a question turned up in my mind. "What if someone catches you in here?", I drowsily said to him.

"My room is locked, your room is locked. If someone catches us here, it has to be someone trying to murder us"

Halfway asleep, my mind still recognized the sarcasm. "Real funny Mattia". 

His chest vibrated under me when he laughed. "Don't worry, no one is catching us. Go to sleep". Humming back, I tried falling asleep. 

As sleep was about to take over me, I felt him leaving small kisses on my head. 

"Sleep Amore"

Part 44 ✅

I'm back bitches :)

If someone thinks their relationship is going fast, I agree💀 But let's keep in mind that they have "hated" each other for five years. Five years of seeing, and accepting each other's flaws :)

Love y'all<3
