The sun was hitting my eyes through my eyelids, making me curse whatever god decided that the sun must rise so early. I mean, why can't it just be a little dimmer? Seems unfair.
There's voices too, more than one, mumbling together creating a strong annoyance in me. I can't hear what they're saying, but it's unfortunately loud enough for me to not block them out. I stir, trying to get away from the sun's harsh rays and the sound, when my moving mattress under me stirs with me, constricting around me, keeping me trapped. I startle, making an alarmed sound, and I hear a voice shush me.
I look up slightly, seeing Alexander gaze down at me from where I was laying against his chest. He smiles slightly, moving my hair away from my face. "Good morning, darling." I grumble back, making him laugh, his chest reverberating under me, causing me to whine, before seeing a body leaning against the doorway.
Enzo looked different from every other time I had seen him. He had always been in a suit, most of the time perfectly tailored three piece suits. His shoulder length black hair was always pulled back, his jewelry complimenting him perfectly.
But now? Now Enzo stood in sweatpants, and no shirt in sight. I couldn't make out the details of them, but I could see his MANY tattoos much more than ever before, as well as his abs. Holy moly.
He had a leaner figure than Alexander, although he was the tallest out of the three, so I suppose that made sense. His hair was noticeably wet, parts of it clinging to his face. His muscles flexed as he folded his arms, looking me over.
He didn't speak a word, choosing instead to leave his penetrating gaze on me curled up against Alexander's chest. I was too tired to be embarrassed about it. I smile at him, and greet him, whispering, "Hi Enzo," as Alexander rubs my back above my- his shirt.
It's only now that I notice the cup of coffee he has in his hand that keeps him from fully crossing his arms. The coffee cup was black, with grey font in bold spelling out ROMANO on the front.
Enzo squints his eyes at me and slowly rises his coffee cup to his mouth, taking a sip, never averting his eyes from mine. Never even moving them to Alexander, as he caresses every inch of me he can seem to reach comfortably, soothing me from my sleep.
Alexander suddenly stirs and moves his full attention to me. "I'm gonna make breakfast, okay? Enzo will keep you company, he already went swimming, he'll stay with you."
He pushes me up and leaves the bed, also only in sweatpants. He leaves through the door, but not before sending me one of his charming smiles on the way out, moving past Enzo, who still hasn't moved his line of sight from mine.
Suddenly, in the bed alone, I feel a sinking feeling bubble inside of me. I loved having Alexander near me, but now that he's gone, I can feel pin pricks on my exposed skin and feel shameful for some reason. Why do I feel so bad now that Alexander is gone?
I put my hands around me body, trying to self-soothe like I've done so many times before, but then Enzo walks towards the edge of the bed, grabbing my chin, forcing me to look up at him and his bright blue eyes. He analyzes me as I hold my breath, waiting for him to say something.
"You're not clenching your jaw anymore." He said it matter-of-factly, and it causes my breath to hitch.
"I-I did that before?" I hadn't even noticed.

Romansa"Just let me take care of you," Alexander says as his hand moves across my thigh, his legs holding me in place on the couch. "I can't, it's too much-" I go to move his hand, but another set of hands stop mine. The rings and veins make it obvious wh...
