HIS BELLA

chap. 10

ISABELLA

I woke up with an immense pain in my head  as I opened my eyes while sitting on a comfortable as hell bed which is thrice my bed I look around to find myself in a big room which isn't mine .

As the realisation hit me I panicked and got up so fast that a pain in my head increased making me hold my head .

" You're awake . Does your head hurt a lot !?" He said as I my eyes shot up at Leo .

He looked as if he freshly came out of the shower as the water droplets fell from his hair strands . He was wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt which fitted his toned muscles as his huge muscular biceps were hard to miss ohh someone really works out well .

" Like what you see " he said with a smirk on his face making me break out of my thoughts.

" G-good morning " I fumbled being embarrassed for drooling over him . God I wanna dig a hole and disappear right now .

" How do you feel " he asks me making me go all gushy at his concern .

" Fine just a little headache " I say to which he nods knowingly.

" There's a medicine on the side table for your headache . You get freshen up and come downstairs for breakfast then ." He said making me nod my head obediently like a child with that he leaves the room giving me space .

I finally released the breath I didn't know I was holding . As I finally look around the room which is bigger than lia's , minimal  yet chic and elegant interior design with  everything grey and black just like him .

Taking off the blanket I look at my attire as I see my dress ridden up really high but thankfully I'm wearing a shirt on top of it . I blush at the thought of him making me wear his shirt which was really thoughtful of him .

I finally went to take a shower to look in the mirror at myself only to gasp at the site of my messy hairs all over the place with my smeared mascara and my eyes a little red from yesterday and remembering it gave me goosebumps .

Yesterday was a nightmare I felt disgusting thinking of that man's hands on me . I don't know what could've happened if he didn't have come on time just the mere thought of the possible circumstances gives me shivers . Ignoring all the thoughts I went in the shower as the water runs down my body soothing me .

After coming out from the shower smelling like him cause of using the shower . I found my duffle bag here which was in lia's room maybe he brought it here for me . I only found my denim shorts there as I had prolly left my top in the other room .

After a lot of thinking and debating I finally entered his walk in closet damn ! This is huge .  I took out one of his black hoodie which smells like him and wore them  as I left from there with my hair still wet .

I came downstairs to see Leo sitting with lia opposite to him and a new guy beside him which I don't recognise . He looks the same age as Leo with a built muscular body but nothing compared to Leo's .

As soon as lia sees me she runs towards me pulling me into a hug making me squeal . She checks me in a hurry as if I'd disappear any moment .

" Are you okay Isa I'm so sorry yesterday I'm really sor-" I cut her off in the middle .

" I'm okay lia don't worry " I assure her to which she calms down and signs in relief .

" I'm so glad that you're okay . But it's my fault I should've been more aware ." She says with worry and guilt in her eyes.

" It's really not your fault " I reassured her to which she nodded . As we went towards the table I sat beside lia .

" Since no one introduced me ; I'm marco this grumpy ass's best friend " the new guy said while pointing out to Leo who just gave him a bored look .

" I'm Isabella emilia's friend " I said as I gave him a sly smile .

" Such a cutie " he muttered giving me a once over look before having a weird smile which looks mischievous making me confused.

" Is that grumpy's hoodie !? " He asked making me blush even though there wasn't any reason I mean it wasn't like we did something what possibly we could hav- God what am I thinking.

" Um actually I didn't have anything else to wear at the Moment so I just grabbed this from your closet . I hope it is okay with I can change if- " I blabbered only to be stopped by Leo .

" It's alright " he said making me smile .

After all of us had our breakfast Leo left and Marco , lia and me ended up watching the movie together and spent the rest of the day goofing around .

It was already late as I decided upon leaving but I haven't officially thanked Leo for last night  so I went towards his office in the massion as per how lia guided me .

Upon reaching I knocked on the door  hearing a ' come in ' in his deep voice I went in to find him sitting behind the table with papers scattered all over his table . He then looks over at me and gets up coming towards me standing right in front of me towering over me .

" I just came over to say thank you for yesterday  . I don't know what would happen if you weren't there " I said while looking up at him through my lashes .

" Ti proteggerò sempre amorè. Ucciderò chiunque osi metterti le mani addosso . Sei mio  " ( I'll always protect you love . I'll kill anyone who dares to lay hands on you . You are mine ) he said as he slid my hairs behind my ear running his fingers softly over my cheeks making me close my eyes and lose myself in that sensation . I didn't understand what he said but I could still sense the intensity of his words .

" I didn't understand what you said " I said looking up at him . Admiring his jawline enough to slice me in two , his chiseled face , his lips tempting me and his eyes...his grey orbs which held so much emotion in them locked up .

" Don't worry I'm always here for you" he said making my heart swell up in emotions .

Our moment was interrupted by lia coming as I said goodbye to him as he just stared deep into my eyes as if trying to read me .

After lia dropping me off I slumped on my bed with everything on my mind I went deep in my thoughts.

I feel it I know this maybe a little soon or maybe a lot soon but I cannot deny how my heartbeat increases when he comes near me , how I get butterflies at his little actions , how I blush at his simple compliments , how I felt safe in his arms , how he made me feel at peace . I'm falling for him.....
