Lover- Alessia Russo

18. My clothes

I wake up with a big smile on my face. Yesterday was such a great day. I'm honestly already looking forward to the next game. After a few minutes on my phone I decide to get up.

I quietly walk to my room before knocking quietly. Alessia doesn't answer so I quietly walk to the bathroom walking past Alessia who's still peacefully asleep. I can't hold back the smile that reaches my face at the sight. She's just so... perfect.

I quickly and quietly brush my teeth and put deodorant on. The basics before walking out and into the kitchen. I open the fridge and realize I literally have nothing. So I order some French toast for the both of us from a local shop as well as a coffee for Alessia as I've realized she usually drinks one in the morning. Soon enough the food gets here and I bring it in and set it down on the island.

Alessia still hasn't gotten up yet so I head back upstairs and knock on the door once again but this time a bit louder.

"Huh." I hear.

"Hey uh good morning. I have breakfast downstairs. If you want you can grab some clothes to wear. It's no problem." I say as I step inside the room.

"OMG. Did I... Did I do anything stupid last night?" Alessia asks as she sits up. Taking in her surroundings. She look at me and I watch as her eyes scan my body. I catch her eyes and she blushes while looking away.

"You have nothing to worry about less." I say with a laugh. She lets out a breath as she lays back down.

"I uh I'll be down in a minute." She says.

I walk over to my closet and grab a tshirt before walking back downstairs and putting the food onto plates before placing them on the table along with Alessia's coffee and myself a glass of milk.

Soon enough Alessia makes her way downstairs. I look up and see that she's wearing one of my hoodies and a pair of my shorts. They're definitely big on her but she looks adorable... she can keep them honestly. I can't help but smile at the sight of her in my clothes.

"What?" she asks smiling while looking at her outfit. God this girl.

"You almost disappear in my clothes." I reply with a laugh.

"But you do look adorable." I say but quickly realize what I actually just said and cover my mouth.

"T-Thank you." She says nervously as she blushes once again and lower her head. Hiding her face.

"I uh got breakfast." I say as I walk to the table. Alessia follows behind me.

"I think I got your order right but I don't know for sure." I say as I scratchy be back if my neck. Alessia looks at the coffee with a smile. Why am I so nervous? I don't get nervous.

"Perfect." She says after she takes a sip. I smile and sit down. A feeling of accomplishment washed over me. We eat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before Alessia says "Izzi...How did I get here?"

I just laugh and say "Shit sorry I probably should have explained... um well you wouldn't get up after you fell asleep and I didn't want to go into your apartment when you weren't awake so I brought you to my house."

"Oh I uh I'm sorry." She says.

"Don't worry about it. Really." I say with a smile.

"So uh how'd you get me to get up here?" She asks with a laugh.

"I didn't." I says with a laugh before continuing on saying "I carried you up here and once I brought you to my room you didn't wanna let go."

Alessia eyes go wide and her face red. "Omg. I'm so sorry izzi." She says clearly embarrassed.

"You have nothing to be sorry about." I say softly. Alessia looks skeptical.

"Really Less it's not big deal. It was a long day. I get it." I reassure her. She nods until her eyes go wide and she blurts out "I took your bed!"

"I'm sorry." She says as she puts her face in her hands. This girl is just to sweet.

"Less. It's fine. I put you in there. I didn't want you sleeping in the guest rooms. They aren't done yet." I explain.

"I owe you." She says as she dips her coffee with a smile.

"No you don't. You've been great since I've signed here. That's payment enough." I say. She smile wide and nods. We continue eating and chatting. It's so easy with Alessia our conversation never becomes awkward or uncomfortable.

*ALESSIA's POV*

I think Izzi is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I don't really know how to explain the way I feel around her except safe and cared for. I mean is it crazy to think that I've only really known her for a week?

I didn't want to leave but I didn't want to be a bother either until Izzi asked me if I would like to stay over. We decided to watch a movie and it's been great we've just been chatting and talking about the movie. Well that is up until my stomach starts to rumble.

"You wanna go get some lunch?" Izzi asks with a little laugh.

"I yeah that sounds great." I say with a laugh. I don't think I want this day to end if I'm being honest.
