Seven- Bella Ramsey

Passed down like folk songs- Real Life

Maria's pov

It's our last day staying at the cottage and yesterday was perfect! We got to know each other, Bella taught me how to make their special pasta, we watched some movies and I convinced them to sing to me.

Now it's morning, 7 AM for being more specific. I'm already awake, currently staring at Bella sleeping, gosh they're so beautiful.

(Maria- Bella)

- You know I can feel your eyes on me, right? - Bella says with her eyes closed and a sleepy voice.

- Goodness, you're awake!!! - I say in a shocked tone

- I wouldn't say awake, Mary. Gosh I'm so tired. - They say rubbing their eyes

- That's what happens when you change timezones, plan a whole trip and stay up late playing Mario kart in the period of less than 2 days. - I say throwing a pillow on his face

- Ugh, Mary you're mean. - He says smirking

- Maybe that's why you're in love with me. - I say smiling

- Who said I was in love with you, huh? - Bella says sitting on bed getting closer to me

- You, a thousand times yesterday. During the dinner, during the lake tour...... I can keep going. - I say looking deep into their eyes

- Alright! You proved your theory. There's something wrong about falling in love with you, Mary? - Bella says leaning even closer

- Nothing. Nothing at all. - I say kissing him

Bella's hands are on my cheeks and I'm caressing her hair.

- Maybe we should stay here forever. - They say breaking the kiss

- We need to work Bells!!!! But I promise we'll have lots of moments like this. - I say smiling sadly

- I'm afraid of what's going to happen when we go back to the real world. - They say staring at the ceiling

- Me too, but you're staying for one month in New York right? We'll see each other everyday at work and we can hangout anytime you want. - I say trying to smile

- It's not only about this, Maria. The press is going to chase us constantly, just because we're not in a heterosexual relationship. - Bella says with a sad face

- Let's leave this for when we define what we're, Bella. We have one more day to enjoy. - I say carefully

- You're right, let's enjoy the rest of our trip. - He says getting up from bed

- What's the plan for the day? - I say getting up excitedly

- First of all let's have breakfast and then you'll sing to me!!!! - Bella says jumping

- That's your idea of enjoying our last day? - I say with a surprise tone

- Almost. - Bella says smirking

...................

We finished our breakfast and now Bella is handing me her guitar. I'm a little bit worried about playing for Bells, but if that's what she wants......

- Alright, don't laugh. - I say nervously

- I won't - They say smiling

- Any requests?

- Seven by Taylor?

- Definitely! - I say smiling

I breathe a little bit, close my eyes and start to run my fingers through the guitar strings.
