AMORE

"Amore" Lorenzo shook the girl who was laying peacefully in her own bed. The night had been absolutely stressful and tiring for Lorenzo who had fixed the car himself with a lot of effort and driven the two of them back home. It was safe to say that Khalid was more than happy to see them safe in front of his eyes. Bella had dozed off several times out of boredom, resulting in Lorenzo picking her up and helping to the bed.

Several hours had passed by now, but she was still asleep. Lorenzo was starting to get a bit stressed when she didn't respond to his shaking and gently started kissing her neck. The pleasure he inflicted upon her made the girls hand find the way to his hair. She tugged at it earning a groan of approval escape the mans lips. She pulled him closer and he obliged immediately, inching his face deeper into the crook of her neck.

The innocent act got heated up in minutes and before Lorenzo had the time to remove her shirt, he stopped and sighed out loudly. Bella furrowed her brows as his arms fell to his side and took it upon herself to initiate what she wanted from him. what she craved from him.

She held on to his face and tilted it upwards just as she started to trail wet kisses down his jaw. Lorenzos eyes fluttered shut as he let out a throaty sound that was a mix of both pleasure and amusement. The kisses become harsher as she nibbled on his skin right on the neck for everyone to see. The action was so unlike her and the man smiled at how much he had rubbed on her.

"amore" he repeated as he felt her arms escape under his shirt and caress his now, tattoed, skin. That was the last straw for the girl who completely let go of the man and sighed loudly, crossing her arms over her chest and pouting slightly. The sudden lack of affection made Lorenzo shudder and just when he saw her move away from the bed, he tried to hold on to her but she was quicker than him. Lorenzo didn't let that stop him though, he ran to the door and blocked her way so she couldn't walk out.

Bella rolled her eyes and turned her back to him stubbornly. Before she could continue her petty act, she felt his chest touch her back and his bulkier arms wrapped around her tiny waist. "Are you mad at me?" he asked her and tried to take a look at her face. Bella didn't answer and simply zoned out from looking outside the window.

She didn't know how to tell him that she wanted him to make love to her. They had been apart for five years and unlike her, he didn't seem too eager at the idea. He had confessed that he still loved her, but why wasn't he taking the hint. Instead he told her that she was sick, making him worried for her. it was a good reason, but he hadn't cared before. She could recall several incidents from five years ago when he had initiated the sex with her being sick. He had been gentler those times and made love to her as if she was a glass that could shatter. She of course had never said no, loving every moment of them being together. She loved how he touched her gently and murmured sweet words in Italian as he pecked her body wherever he could reach from being within her. However, that didn't seem to be the case now. Even if he was more open about his thoughts, he didn't seem to want the affection.

"Oh uh" she heard Lorenzo mutter, to which she turned in his embrace and looked at him. "what?" she asked as he saw the expression on his face. "I am in big trouble, aren't i?" he asked sheepishly as he scratched his neck awkwardly. He had seen the expression on her face when she was deep in thoughts and from his experience of having so many girls in the family, he knew that meant trouble.

Bella shook her head and stepped away. Just in que, she heard Scars voice booming from downstairs; "Bella, come and eat". She smiled tightly at the man in front of her and he inched his face closer to hers for a kiss, but he had thought wrong. Just when his lips were inches away from hers, she turned her face to the side, so his lips touched her chin instead. She didn't wait for him to question her and escaped to the kitchen where she saw Scar facetiming his daughter, Celina. She smiled big and joined him, trying to forget what had just happened with Lorenzo.

However, the man standing still in the room, couldn't shake off the thoughts. His actions had escalated quickly, and he knew that she was upset at him for not giving in. he understood where she came from, even he was craving her more than ever. He had wanted to feel her ever since he saw her that day when she walked into the basement with the tight dress.

Ever since losing her all those years ago, he had promised himself to hate her. now that he was over that phase and in tune with his feelings, he knew one thing for sure; He could not let her go. He could barely see her with another man and just the thought of her not being with him, didn't sit well with him. she was the only one he wanted.

To not fall into a troubled scenario, like the one five years ago, he had decided to approach things differently this time. He wanted her to be treated like other ladies. He would take her out on dates, open doors for her, gift her flowers and chocolate and then make love to her. She deserved that, he thought to himself as her laughter from the kitchen reached his ears. He could make out her talking to Celina and smiled as he walked out of the kitchen where everyone was gathered by now.

Everyone was eating and just when Lorenzo passed Marco, he felt Marco hand him a note secretly. Lorenzo skillfully hid it in his cigarette packet, knowing well that Bella would never touch it. Bella and Scar were busy on the phone, but Lorenzo picked on to the glances the rest of the boys were passing to each other. He punched Diego lightly on the shoulder and raised his eyebrows as to question what was happening.

"Marco prepared his pretty Asian chick and wants you to start the plan now" Diego whispered and chuckled at his own statement. Lorenzo nodded and looked over to Lina who smiled reassuringly. He walked over to her gracefully and even before he could question her, she answered back; "yes I am sure" and snickered. Lorenzo nodded without breaking a smile, but his eyes were caring enough to understand that he was considerate.

"Hey" Lina said and bumped into him. "I didn't know that you and Bella were together! Why didn't someone tell me? she is gorgeous. Her eyes, wow. Your kids will be so-" her gushing was interrupted by the woman herself.

"Nothing" Bella completed the sentence and smiled tightly. "We won't have kids, Lina" she spoke as if Lorenzo wasn't standing there to irritate him. «What? why?" Lina questioned to which Bella shrugged tiredly and pretended to be over the situation. "He doesn't want kids. Nor does he want to make them. Maybe I should find a donor, yea let me to that" she answered sassily and started making her way to Jasmines door.

Lina looked at Lorenzo in shock and let out a laugh. She was about to tease him, but he silenced her by holding up his hand. "I have to talk to the woman before she kills my unborn children" he muttered and ran after Bella who was standing outside Jasmines door, about to knock on the door.

He called her name and she turned around to roll her eyes at him. "Come here" he told her seriously and walked into her room, knowing well that she would follow him. she was nosey like that. Just like he had expected, she walked in into their room and let out a bored; "Yes Moretti?"

"Moretti? Are you that mad?" he chuckled at her bored expression before pulling her closer to him.

"Oh sorry. I am sick so I can't stand close to you" she exclaimed evilly and took a large step back. Lorenzo who was sat at the edge of the bed with his legs apart, saw as she spread his legs so that she could take a large step back.

"Woman, can I just get a kiss? I have gone through too much stress from deporting you from the club to the house to not get a kiss at last" he told her and smiled gently as he tried to hold her hand and pull her closer.

"Someone told me that I was feeling sick and doing stuff like that will get you sick too" Bella told him and suppressed a smile when she saw Lorenzo close his eyes.

"That someoneis stupid, amore. Can I get my kiss now?" Lorenzo tried again, to which Bella shook her head.

"You look like him. Are you sure you don't know him?" she questioned him and that was enough for him to catch her hand and toss her on the bed. He was quick to take of his shirt and looked down at her.

"I was going to take you out on a date and then make love to you, amore. But I can't deny my princess now, can I?" he taunted her and pulled of her sweatpants. Bella smiled and whispered the questioned that had bugged her all alone; "Don't you want me like that?" and tilted her face in his direction.

Lorenzo stopped in his movement, completely dumbfounded. "I want you in all ways" he answered and lowered himself down on her, pleasing her just like she had wanted.
