My Love

XXXIV

Serena's pov.

For the most of the plane ride I ate and slept because those two stuff are life. Am I right?

For the rest of the time that I wasnt eating or sleepin me and Alessio talked. We talk about everything and anything. He was really sweet when he was around me, unlike when he was in business mode.

His smile alone made my day, far less for the rest of him. Everytime I look at him, I want to smile.

Right now we were exiting the plane and heading into a car. During the plane ride Alessio convinced me to come to his place after and spend the night. I took me five minutes to agree.

I mean, my roomie wouldn't miss me, she'll probably be in the club anyways.

The car ride was filled with silence until Alessio asked the five words I never wanted to hear for a while.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked with a hopeful look on his face.

At that moment, I felt my heart drop. I wanted to be his, but I also didn't want to be hurt. I didn't want him to cheat on my like what Gregg did.

I loved him and he hurt me. I cried for days and days. I couldn't believe him.

Alessio must have noticed my state of silence and his face dropped after seeing mine.

"Do you not want to be mine?" He asked.

"No, No it's not that. I would love to be yours but it's just......" I said and began to get quiet at the end.

He began to slow down the car on the side of the road.

"It's what? " He asked as the car came to a complete stop.

"I don't want you to hurt me like my ex did." I said and look down at my hands that laid in my lap.

"What happened?" Alessio asked as he turned his body towards me.

"We were together for three years and I really loved him. I thought we would get married and have a life together but one day I found out he was cheating on me for a very long time." I said and looked out the window.

"I broke up with him and left and began to stay with marina. That was the last time I saw him until the other day when i stayed home. He came to my apartment and tried to make amends with me. He said he was sorry and didn't mean to cheat, but I didn't believe him. I couldn't believe he had changed. So I told him to leave and he did but not without saying he was going to anything to have me back." I said with sorrow laced in my voice.

Water lined my eyes as I felt to cry and as I looked at Alessio he was angry but as he saw me his face softened.

"Come here" He said and unbuckled my seatbelt pulling me into his lap.

I buried my face in his neck and silently sobbed.

"I would never hurt you like that and why didn't you tell me that he visited you, I could have done something."

"This is my problem."

"Well it is mine now. Don't worry I will always be here to protect you." He whispered in my ear.

I look at him and saw that he was talking from his heart. This made me hug him even tighter.

For about 10 minutes we just laid there in each others arms, not one of us daring to move.

"Let's go home" Alessio said, placing a kiss on my forehead and placing me back into my seat.

For the rest of the car ride we sang alone to music playing on the radio and talked about the weather. Because why not?.

I didn't need to go home for a change of clothes cause I already had a extra one in my suitcase.

As we arrived at his home he helped me with my bags and he insisted that I sleep in his room. With him.

After we were settled in, it was evening time and we were getting hungry, so instead of ordering food, I decided to make us homeade pizza.

"Al, do you want to help me?" I asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Al, I like that. Nobody has ever call me that and yes I would love to. What are we making?"

"PIZZA" I screamed and began to get the flour for the dough.

"You know, we can just order a pizza" He said.

I immediately placed a finger on his lips and shushed him.

"No, we are making homeade pizza, I'll make the dough, you can cut up all the meats and stuff for the toppings."

"That's easy enough I guess" He said and began to do work.

After a half an hour we were finally done and the two pizzas were in the oven. I finally began to clean up the excess flour and me being my mischievous self, walked up behind Al and threw it in his hair.

I immediately turned back around and pretended to wash the dishes.

"You little ---" He began to say and I cut him off.

"What happened?" I asked innocently and gave him a cute smile.

He walked closer to me and I walked back but was unlucky when my back hit the counter. His two hands on either side of me.

He shook his head so the excess flour would come out his hair and ALL flew on me.

I gasped which was not a good idea, as flour went in my mouth. My face scrunched up in disgust and I looked at him and not he had the innocent look on his face.

"You are lucky I like you"  I stated as I wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling his face closer to mine.

"If you didn't like me what would you have done?"

"I would have sprayed water from the sink on you" I said and lightly kissed his cheek, then his jawline, then right next to his lips, pulling away right after.

He seemed not to be satistfied with that, as he pulled me closer resting his lips in mine, kissing me passionately.

I didn't stop him, instead I pulled him impossibly closer. His hands moved their way down my thigh and lifted me up onto the counter.

After a few minutes we decided to break away, firstly because I was lacking oxygen.

"You tasted like flour at first" He stated and had me laughing very loudly.

"Yeaaa, we should probably take a shower"

"Together?"

"Nope, you could only dream" I said.

"And I do" He said, making turn the colour of a tomato

After we were finished cleaning up the kitchen and taking a shower, we decided to watch a movie. Thor Ragnorak since apparently we were both Marvel fans.

During the movie we ate the bomb pizzas we made and might I just say, they were amazing.

My head laid on his chest and we were both cuddled next to eachother. That movie was awesome. Thor was so hot. That sas definitely one of my favourite movies.

It was about 9pm now and we had now turned of the tv to go to bed. Alessio got up and I stopped him by pulling at his hand.

He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yes" I said.

"Yes?"

"I will be your girlfriend" I said, and I watched as his eyes lit up. He pulled me off the couch and into his arms. Spinning me around.

"Yes" He said.

He lifted me up and carried me to his room to sleep. The smiling never leaving his face.
