Signora Solice leaves for work me and will hang for a little bit.

"You know that your lass name translates to lonely or comforting" I say randomly from in the middle of are movie "o really" will says looking at me "yeah in Italian it means lonely so when I say mis or signora Solice I am kinda just saying lonely lady" I tell him "well don't tell ma that" he say squeezing my shoulder".

I move closer to Will, he is so warm I nuzzle in to him a little "you're so warm" I mumble
" hum really" he says rapping the second arm around me. "Yeah really your like a human space heater" I mumble agents his arm.

"Neeks you can fall asleep it's ok" he says softly pulling me almost on top of him well laying down. "No I don't need to sleep" I say sleepily, I snoozed off.

——————————————-

I wake up really groggy, I don't really know where I am. I feel a hand on my back, he's on the phone with someone " yeah Nicollet is asleep, I don't really know when she'll wake up, but I may just let her stay here,it's getting late" i here will whisper to someone on the phone probably hazel.

I rap my arms around him tightly so he can't leave " don't leave me" I mumble " of course I won't leave you Neeks" he says back
quietly while playing with my hair I fall back asleep and don't wake up for a while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This time when I wake up, it's light out it's the next day, Sunday and someone has put another blanket over me and Will.

I hum in enjoyment of this moment, the warmth the peace of the early morning of an early June day, I am warm and inviting home.

I sit up a little bit and see Mrs Solice walk passed "morning darlin' you to look so comfortable all cuddled up"
She says doing that nose wrinkle thing "well Wills so dang comfortable" I wispier.

"Well he's like a human space heater he's always been that ways, I'm about to make tea would you like some" She asks "yes umm ginger lemon is you have it if you don't then peppermint" I say.

" your in luck I'm really in to tea I just got a bunch of Italian teas one of my favorites is Evening Sorrento" she tells me "o that's one of my mama's favorites" I say "it just so good" she says
"One cup of ginger lemon tea coming up darlin' she says,

I nod in thanks rolling over so my stomach is against will's putting my arms around his neck. Kissing his neck as I tuck my face their.

Wills mom comes back with a cup of seaming hot tea setting is on the table,
and then walking her and her cup to the screened in porch, even though all the windows are open already.

I let my cup cool down then take a sip it reminds me of home, of Italy, and the tea shop I use to spend hours at with my sister. Bianca still lives in Italy in a small apartment above a flower shop/cafe with her husband Amilo and their child Nicollet, nick for short. she is only 4 months old the last time I saw her was three weeks ago. I miss her.

Will has started to stir and I set my cup down so it doesn't spill, he titans his grip around my waist. "Ummm" he hums I kiss his neck and hums again "morning Neeks how did you sleep" he asks "good your comfy and warm"I answered "can you sit up I'm trying to drink this tea and I can't do it laying down and I still want to cuddle"I say, he chuckles and kisses my cheek as we start to sit up.

I sit up he puts his head in my lap, I run my fingers through his hair as he checks his phone mine was left at home. "Umm hazel says you and your friend are having a beach day and to bring you home and I'm invited to" he finishes in a question " yeah that makes sense it supposed to be like 90 today" I say "and yeah you can come" I say kissing him quickly.
" yeah I'm sure I'll be able to go with you" he says smiling.
