Italian Angel

We watched the sunset and he held me in his arms. I looked at him and not the sunset, enjoying his smile. I didn't know it was possible to just meet a person yet think that they've always known you. He made me smile, more than my family, and I loved it when he laughed. I just couldn't explain my feelings, I wanted to get lost in him.

"So, am I now prettier than the sunset?" He asked jokingly and I nodded, giggling. He held me closer and looked at me too. We were just lying there, starring at each other, not saying a word, yet it felt like a whole conversation. I rested my arms on his neck and he leaned down, not stopping the intense eye contact.

Our lips met, making butterflies erupt through my whole body. His kiss was soft and calm, not wanting to rush everything as I closed my eyes. I only focused on the kiss and how happy I felt right now. My body tensed at first, but then relaxed in his hold. I felt him smiling while kissing and I couldn't help but laugh as well. He was sensitive with me, but it felt like I could kiss him forever.

He stopped the kiss and looked at me again. "I've waited for this." He whispered and I kissed him again, feeling his soft lips against mine. There was something real between us, it felt good to kiss him even though we only knew each other a few days. I held him closer as he sat up, as well as I did. We sat opposite of each other and he kissed my forehead. I nearly jumped onto him as I hugged him, slinging my arms around his neck. His arms went to my waist, hugging me back.

It was all I needed right now, just us two.

"You're so beautiful." I heard him whisper in my ear making me smile once more. It was just indescribable this moment. I never had thought that I would be this happy near a person.

We watched the end of the sunset as we held each other close and he asked, "Can we do this more often?"

I nodded eagerly and ran my fingers through his hair.

We left the cab and entered the house with him. I pulled my hand away from his, as I knew my brothers would notice everything. I looked at him shortly and he understood, I hoped. "Bella!" Somebody called out and soon I saw Elijah come to me. He glared at Hunter until I slightly pushed him.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"I'd like to talk to you, alone." I rolled my eyes, but followed him into the kitchen, apologizing to Hunter.

Elijah turned around, "What did you guys do?" He asked sternly and I scoffed, crossing my arms. He couldn't trust me with anything.

"Of course, you'd like to know," I commented, "We just ate a little, went swimming, and watched the sunset, no big deal."

"Swimming? Your hair isn't wet." He noticed and I quickly thought of another lie, "It's called the sun, Elijah." I rolled my eyes and went back to Hunter, who had been patiently waiting at the entrance. Elijah led us to the basement, and I widened my eyes at the set-up room. It had five separate mattresses with pillows and bedsheets. There was my beamer set up and my switch, making me squeal for once. Hunter smiled at my sight and Elijah left.

"Okay, put your stuff away and then let's see what we can do until the others are coming." I took Hunter's bag and placed it next to a mattress. My back was only turned to him for a short moment, but he took it as an opportunity to hug me from behind with such force, that we fell onto the mattress, laughing.

I giggled as he still held me, "This day is just getting better."

The doorbell ringed and we stood up, both surprised that it didn't take long for the others to come.

I went to the door and already saw the twins standing there, the door opened. I huffed in annoyance, not knowing what they were saying to my guests.

Hunter followed me and stood next to me as I lightly pushed James and Liam away.

"Stop tormenting my friends." I sneered and welcomed Jasmine in. She smiled and pushed up her glasses. The twins left and I led Jasmine to the basement, Hunter's hand searching for mine.

"Oh. My. God. It's so cool down here!" Jasmine screeched too and I lightly giggled putting down her stuff down carefully next to another mattress. "We can go swimming later when the other's come." I said and she nodded eagerly, Hunter giving me a smile.

The doorbell rung once more and I ran to the door, leaving the other two alone for a minute. Jayden stood there, his bag hanging from his shoulder. I waved slightly and saw Savannah come after him, slightly panting. "Sorry, still had to do something."

"It's fine, you guys wanna go swimming?" I asked and they both nodded.
