ALISSA'S POV
"Baby you need to relax, you're so tense", I say to Ricky as I carefully massage his shoulders.
"Sorry it's just that stupid video"
"Don't worry about it, we'll be fine"
"She just can't keep our names out of her mouth, can she?"
"Baby, don't let her get to you, she just wants attention"
"You're right, you're right. Tonight we're putting everything and everyone behind us."
"Everyone?", I ask with a faint smile as I run my fingers through his curly hair.
"Everyone. That means Erika and her stupid videos, Chantel, the clothing line, that model and everything else that's bothering you", he says getting up to turn the light off.
BANK'S POV
Especially Chantel.
I walk back over to the bed and pull the covers over me and Alissa as she goes through netflix trying to find a movie to watch.
"Clueless?", she asks with raised eyebrows
"Haha, very funny."
"Come on, pleaaaase?"
"Alissa."
"Ricky."
"Can't we just watch a TV show or something?", I ask as I turn a lamp on
"Fine, how about 'Orange is the new black'?"
Jail.
I take a big gulp of water as I swallow an advil, this was gonna be a long night.
"Nah."
"How about the walking dead?", Alissa asks slightly annoyed.
Death.
"Nah, we watch it too often."
"Narcos??"
Drugs.
"Why not?", I say with a faint smile as I entangle my fingers with Alissa's.
"Finally!", she says as she rolls her eyes and laughs.
"You know Ricky, I really love you", She says with the most beautiful smile.
"I love you too, Alissa", I say as I stroke her thumb with mine.
I looked at her and realised that I loved this girl more than ever. She was beautiful, but broken. I loved her every perfect imperfection.
I loved her smile.
I loved her eyes.
I loved her laugh.
I loved her stories.
I loved her.
And the thought of losing her scared me.
