Marry. Ride. Love.

please stay my friend

*Pecco*

I was fucking drunk when I pulled my phone out of my pocket and called Bella.

Fuck, I was way too drunk and even though part of me was aware of that, I couldn't help but want her.

I wanted Bella.

I had wanted her since the wedding and yes, I felt bad about it. I absolutely felt bad for Vale, but I was drunk enough to block that out.

I wanted Bella.

Now.

And my entire body reacted when she finally took the call.

"Pecco?" she asked sleepily.

Shit, every time she said my name it brought me to the brink of insanity.

"Hey tesoruccio.", my tongue felt heavy.

She was all I had been thinking about all evening. In general, my thoughts had been circling around her a hell of a lot in the last few days. Even more than they already were. The fact that I had picked her up from Monaco and that we had been so close again hadn't exactly helped me to cope better. I wanted to be close to her.

And damn it, I finally wanted her. I wanted her to be mine. Only mine.

I wanted all of that.

"I am at a party," I said in Italian. I knew she understood me.

All those endless hours of learning Italian were paying off now, because I was definitely too drunk to speak English sensibly anymore and say what was important to me. I definitely wouldn't have found the right words in English now. But in Italian I could say it and I would say it. But not on the phone.

I wanted to see her. Touch them. Feel her.

"I can hear that." she laughed, also in Italian. It only made her more attractive to me when she spoke my language.

Fuck, my entire body was screaming for her. I needed her right now.

"Do you think you can come get me?", I knew she would come get me. I knew she would come.

"Sure. Send me the address and I'll be on my way right away," my heart started racing.

My head wanted only one thing.

"Will do. I'll wait for you outside. Drive carefully tesoruccio.".

"I will. See you in a minute, Pecco.", fuck and again goosebumps went down my entire body.

I hung up and sent her my location, only to immediately get even worse heart palpitations. This felt like I was about to go on a first date. My hands got sweaty and my stomach tightened.

I was nervous. It would take her about fifteen minutes to get here. I was so nervous that I went back to the bathroom in the meantime and made sure I looked reasonable before I went back outside.

It was already starting to get into fall. Soon it wasn't warm enough here to be outside all the time. But I was also so hot.

I was glowing, and I'm sure it wasn't just because of the alcohol I had been drinking. I was literally on fire. Then I could finally see the headlights of her cabriolet. They captured the road, then her car stopped next to me. She had the top down so the car was closed. I opened the passenger door and got in with her.

My heart skipped a beat. Her smell immediately surrounded me and my gaze slid down her.

She had her dark mane tied up somehow and was wearing a shirt that was way too loose and as far as I could see just a pair of those bike shorts.
