The Health Project

Chapter 31

~Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same~

I texted Alessandro to get pads with wings after work before he came home then proceeded to stuff my face with food. It was chocolate covered strawberried except I couldn't wait to freeze them or actually have it look nice. It was still a delicacy in my book so I hate with care.

I was wearing my stranger things shirt and shorts while rewatching season three. I cried once more when my favorite character argued about the difference between cherry and strawberry Slurpees.

"NO! DON'T TAKE HIM THERE!" I screamed out hating the writers for having it end this way. HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT RIGGED! I already did all my school work and FaceTimed with my mom and Sarah, waking them up in the process because in Paris I am seven hours ahead.

Alessandro and I have been going strong. It has been a week since I took over the company for three days. He's less stressed but very cautious around me right now since I am a bleeding mess of emotions. I lash out at him a lot but then five minutes later I am sorry and suddenly want to apologize by giving him head. Which he doesn't deny. I can't wait to see what I say to him today and what I do to make it up to him.

Yes, it's not healthy to be doing this but it's also not healthy to eat junk food all the damn time. Guess who's doing that, YOU.

I'm not pointing fingers but just know my toes are angled in your direction and basically pointing at you.

The door slammed just as he died. I began bawling and while cursing out the Russian assassin.

"Gorgeous, I'm home!" Alessandro's voice faltered as he caught sight of me. I knew it. He doesn't want me anymore. I am trash. I am forky. I knew as soon as he saw me ugly cry he'd run off home.

Alessandro set the bag containing my pads down on the table next to my MacBook. He kneeled as he brought his thumb up to wipe off my tears. I relaxed and leaned into his touch. I missed him. I missed the shit out of him. Fuck. I am so in love.

"Hey, baby. Why are you crying?" His voice came out velvety smooth as he picked me up and sat down with me in his lap.

"He died." I simply stated. I couldn't bring myself to say his name. Alessandro looked behind my head to see my laptop paused at the scene.

"Oh. I am so sorry that he died but remember that Hopper avenged him." I smiled remembering the way Alessandro held me the first time we watched this show together and he died. It was kind of like this except we were in bed. I regretted wondering why the hell this show was getting so much hype. It deserves every drop but it left me in the dust, filled with melancholy.

"Did you bring the pads?" I changed the subject no longer wanting Alessandro thinking about my crocodile tears on his shirt. I stood up grabbing the bag and peered inside.

"Yup-" I burst out laughing, cutting him off. OHMYGOD. I love him so much. He's so clueless.

I pulled out the box of pads and the steaming container of wings. Yes. He got me pads with chicken wings. How could I get mad at this?

"Fuck- did I get the wrong ones. I tried to remember the ones you got last time," he rushed out, standing up nervously. He was waiting for me to yell since my mood swings are wild.

"I wanted pads with flaps that help it stay in place while I am active. Not chicken wings but I love you and how you're so clueless. Fuck, I am so in love with you." I wrapped my arms around his waist leaning into his body while looking up at him. He is the perfect fiance and I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

"So you do like the wings?" His voice was soothing again and back to its normal tone. I giggled.

"Yes, I love them." I glanced outside and suddenly wanted to eat out there. "Let's eat out there." I pointed a for a second having no idea if he even saw where I pointed to.

I grabbed the wings and the strawberries while he grabbed the laptop and we walked out the door to my own little paradise.

We walked down the steps into the water surrounded circle. Sitting down we put our feet up close to the fire and set the snacks beside us while Alessandro put the laptop on his lap. We watched relaxed and carefree in each other's arms.

In the middle of the last episode, Alessandro fell asleep in my lap which caused me to put the laptop on my lap. I smiled as I ran my fingers through his hair and gently kissed his cheek. The lipstick from earlier when I was messing with my makeup was still there leaving a mark. That's right. He's mine ladies.

I can't wait to grow old with Alessandro. I can't wait to have kids. I can't wait to get married. I can't wait for him to wake up. Seriously, my legs are going numb.

I waited till the episode was over and whipped my tears before shutting it and setting it beside me. I slightly shook Alessandro until his gorgeous green eyes fluttered open.

"How long was I out?" He sat up and stretched his arms before standing and taking the empty bowl and container. I grabbed the laptop and we were soon inside ready for bed.

Alessandro pulled me by my waist nearer to him. His heavy arm laid across my hip. I smiled before drifting off into a dream filled with Alessandro and our future kids.
