I hear rustling and movement and my eyes flutter open.

Alessandro walks out the door with nothing but a towel hanging around his waist.

I lean my body forward and wipe the tired out of my eyes.

"Didn't know you were awake." Alessandro walks to a dresser nearby.

He's ripped. Completely filled with muscles. I've never seen anything like it and quite frankly I quietly admire the way his back muscles move when he looks through his drawer.

I look down at my thighs when he turns around. I realize then I'm in his bed. His germ infested bed. I jump off the bed and land straight on the floor.

"What is wrong with you?" Alessandro looks down at me with a stack of clothes in his hands.

"Y-I." I pick myself up. "Your bed is like infested or something," I drag the t-shirt down.

"I put you there so you would be more-" He stops. "I don't even know why I try being nice."

"Nice?" I walk towards him. "You're not nice, no-"

"You don't know the first thing about me sweetheart."

I look between his eyes and down at his chest slightly.

In between our heated glare we hear a knock. The door creaks on its hinges before it fully opens.

Alessandro presses his body against mine and pushes our hands together an embrace.

"I made breakfast-" Mrs. Di Carlo looks between us. "My-" She blushes. "Well breakfast is ready so come before it gets cold." She scurries away and slams the door shut.

I push off of Alessandro and his towel shifts.

"She really bought that," I sigh. "How long do we keep this up Alessandro?" I groan.

"A little while longer. I'm not sure." His mood shifts. He looks down and grabs his clothes and goes right back to the bathroom. "You have clothes in my closet. They're clean and fresh." He calls out.

I wait till he closes the door to head to the closet. I flick the light on and, wow, is it huge. Racks are filled with button up shirt, suits and dress pants. Nice suits are in covers and everything is organized precisely.

I look around amused and walk around snooping at everything until I spot a section that is more colorful than all these muted and dark colors.

I find a whole section of feminine clothes in sizes that are close enough. Not exact but they range between my size, two sizes down and two sizes larger. I pick out a deep hot pink dress that is in my size. It has a simple neckline but hugs the body perfectly and stops just midway on my thighs. It has a bow in the back and look simple and cute. I also pick up a pair of heels that match. I open another drawer and find underwear, bras and lingerie in neat pairs. I hold up a strapy black lace lingerie and stare at it confused.

"How the hell does this work?" I inspect it.

I drop it on the floor and choose seamless underwear and a push-up bra. I grab my clothes and make a B-line to the bathroom.

"I'm taking a shower." I announce and brush past Alessandro.

Immediately I close the door after me and look at the shower. Holy shit it's massive. And there's all these buttons and confusing looking shower heads. I turn a button and water spouts from the side of the wall. Another one and only one of the waterfall shower head turns on. I turn off the wall water off and leave the waterfall. I strip and let my body relax underneath the warm water.

Picking up his shampoo and conditioner I wash my hair with them and find my hair feeling silky in the water. Maybe his hair is soft and silky. I pump some body wash and find it smells soft and not super masculine or strong. There's a hint of sandalwood but nothing over whelming. A hint of jasmine surprises me.

Wrapping my body around a towel I step out and dry my body before slipping on the dress. Coming out the bathroom I see Alessandro sitting on the couch on his phone.

"Are you ready?" He asks. He looks up momentarily and eyes me up and down 'subtlety'.

I nod and he opens the door before me.

"Remember," His hand comes around my waist. "my parents need to be sold on the fact that we're in love. So no sass and don't try to defy me just to get a rise out of me."

But that was my favorite part. Invoking him just to annoy him. It's fun watching his face become dark and his body visibly tense.

"Say ok," He brings his hand up to my shoulder.

"Whatever." I roll my eyes.

He lets out a huge huff when he lets go of my shoulder and walks ahead of me. I follow behind and walk into the kitchen after him.

"Morning Pa," Alessandro greets.

"Morning son, and lovely Elise." He breaks into a smile at the sight of me.

I give a bright smile back and greet him back.

"I made a bunch of food," Mrs. Di Carlo says. "I wasn't sure what you liked so I hope you like something from," She begins.

"I'd be happy with anything you make," I smile brightly.

Alessandro gives me a nod and picks up two plates. Passing one to me he loads his up with everything his mom made. I load mine up as well and watch the smile on Mrs. Di Carlo's face blossom.

I really didn't understand how much this fake relationship meant to his parents. Not until I realized, they watch our every movement and absolutely adore it. I mean I could be sitting across from Alessandro throwing the meanest look and they would coo and smile.

Alessandro grabs my hips and it startles me. I perk up and widen my eyes in surprise. He holds onto my hip and practically drags me with to the table. He opens the chair for me and I slide in. He rubs my thigh with a smile on his face before sitting next to me.
