HIS BELLA

chap. 18

ISABELLA

The cold gush of wind so calming as if it was lulling me to sleep I swear I would sleep whilst standing here suddenly a cologne takes me out of my dreamland knowing who it belongs to the person who has been on my mind all day .

I feel his presence right behind as he keeps his hands beside mine over the railing leaning towards me as I feel his warm breath hitting my neck making goosebumps erupt .

" What are you doing here all by yourself kitten " his deep rough voice did things and don't even get me started on the nickname.

I turned around to meet with his cold orbs making me want to melt in puddle with how demanding they look but they made me feel inexplicably safe which suprised me to my core knowing that I didn't even know this man for long .

He looked like he just stepped out from a meeting with his shirt fitted perfectly against his firm chest with a few buttons undone giving just enough to drool over .

" Hello leo  " I said looking up at him only to find him leaning down close to my face suddenly I forgot how to breathe having this intimidating man up so so close to me.

He smirked clearly amused by my reaction as he straightened making me crane my head up to look at him how tall is this man  . He took my small hands in his started walking ahead with me making me confused Where is he taking me ?

We walked out of house to find at black bugatti chiron waiting as he opens the door for which I oblique to sliding in the car settling looking around in awe at the beautiful interior of the car I didn't  even realize him settling being too busy feeling how comfortable this felt I could spent an lifetime here i didn't know much about cars but I know this is really really expensive how rich was this man .

" I-uhm Leo " I muttered lowly grabbing his attention as he hums rolling his sleeves giving the view of his tattooed glazed arms that nearly stole my focus on what I was gonna ask him .

" where are we going " I asked him to which looked towards me making me sink further into my seat .

" I want to show you something " he said which sounded much like an order and surprisingly I didn't mind . He leaned down to buckle my seatbelt and then , with the roar of the engine we were off.

The ride was silent not an awkward one more of a comfortable one as I looked outside the window , italy was stunning at night , it's light shimmering as we drove away from the city making me wonder where we are going .

He's not going to muder me right I mean he's Emilia's brother he won't just abduct me . I trust him he won't I know him well matter of fact I really don't know him that way apart from the fact he's my best friend's older brother  He doesn't seems like a murderer or kidnapper. I take a mental note to learn more Abt him .

" I'm not going to kidnap you tesoro " he said while keeping an on the road making me gasp . Did I said it out loud ?

" Yes you did kitten " he said making me grumble and bury my face in my hands too embarrassed as I heard a chuckle making me turn my head in his direction with my eyes wide looking at the man who has just gave me a blank stoic his famous cold face in the numerous times I've met him no way this just laughed technically it wasn't a laugh but who cares .

As if he realised what he just did his face contour into a familiar emotionless face makes me a little sad . I slumped back into the seat looking out letting the breeze hit my face as the music filled the space .

Soon the car came to stop and by the time I unbuckled my seat belt he was already by my door with hands held in front of me to take which I gladly do . A gush of wind hit my face as look forward in the direction of the lights leo guides me with the warmth of his hands on my back .

The walk was short, and soon we stood on a bridge that took my breath away. Waves crashed below, lights illuminated the span so the whole scene looked ethereal, almost magical. Stars sparkled overhead, and the place felt serene.

My hair blew across my face until a larger hand gently tucked strands behind my ears. I lifted my eyes to meet a pair of grey ones, and suddenly everything blurred. Time slowed. Sounds dimmed. Lights softened. It was as if it were just us.

" This place is beautiful " I said which barely came out as a whisper with his close proximity I can barely speak it's like words are stuck in my throat and they just don't seem to come out .

" I know you'd like it " his deep voice rumbles out as I feel his hands engulf my face as his fingers caress making me want to sleep into this warmth and never get up . His fingers brush through my jawline as he traces my bottom lip making me suck a deep breath in suddenly it feels as if I cannot breathe , every pulse in my body ignited with his lips hovering a few inches over mine as I feel his arms circling around my waist closing the distance between us with his lips onto mine .

My hands on his chest clutching tightly onto his shirt as he kisses me slowly yet with so much passion as if he's conveying something through it . His lips leave mine for a second only to devour me this time it's rough I can feel his hunger as if he has starved for me as I'll vanish in thin air if he'll leave me .

" That was-um okay no Wait I meant like great i wouldn't know much anyway as I haven't done anything before you like- I'm sorry I'm blabberin- " I'm pressed against his warm chest muffling me .

" Breathe little girl " I hear him say near my ear as I he threads his fingers through my hairs enough to calm my nerves down as

" What are we ?.....like you just kissed me and I don't even know you " I say looking down at my fingers on his chest . I nestled into his chest and then ducked my head out looking up at him

" What do you wanna know " He said as he began tracing patterns on my back with his fingers making me smile at him .

" Umm.. what is your favourite colour" I ask him to which he chuckles rumbling something making me peer my eyes at him curiously .

He didn't tighten his hold onto my pulling me closer to him as he stared deep into my eyes so deep and intense making me shiver and with that he lowly muttered. " Brown ".
