I sit on my bed and light up a blunt, connecting to my speaker and playing my music low on shuffle.
'1999 WILDFIRE - BROCKHAMPTON' plays and I close my eyes as I smoke.
I hear a thud and I soon see Mariano climb through my window.
He hadn't changed from his party outfit which was black jeans and a red Kappa jacket.
"Why do you have to be on the second damn floor?" He says puffing.
"Sorry" I giggle.
He walks over and lays next to me, making himself comfortable.
"Pass dat" He says as I hand him the blunt. "So what's up?"
I tell him what happened.
He stayed silent as I told him.
"Fuck i'm so sorry..." He says sitting up, facing me.
I shake my head. "It's okay... I don't even know if I'm sad or not? I feel, weird"
He nodded. "You know... It was probably my father" Mar says biting his lip.
"I know" I say. "And my Dad said he was going to 'handle' things... ugh this is going to be a shit show."
Mariano sighs and lays back down next to me. "I don't know how this is going to go, but I know that no matter what it's gonna be fucking war."
"I feel so bad"
"For what mamas?" He says raising an eyebrow.
"Going against my family, I mean... you're in my house right now..."
"I can leave if you wa-"
"No, stay. I'm just saying that I feel bad for going against my family and the gang, but at the same time, I don't. Because this is their mess not mine... I don't want anything to do with it." I say sighing, looking down at my hands as I fiddle with my fingers.
"I feel you. But hey, no matter what happens in the end I'm here for you aight? We may barely know each other, but you get me?"
"Yeah, I get you. I'm here for you too Mar" I say half-smiling.
He smiled as he gently placed his warm hand on my thigh, which sent chills and butterflies throughout my body.

I placed my hand on Isabella's bare thigh, I noticed she tensed up.
"My bad" I say chuckling as I slowly remove my hand.
"Oh... no it's okay" She says, her cheeks going red.
She slowly placed my hand back where it was resting on her thigh.
"I have a question" Bella says as she turns her head to me.
"Yeah?" I say looking at her.
"You're not setting me up... right? Like trying to get closer to me for your dads sake kind of thing?"
"No, I thought you were doing that to me. You don't know how scared I was to come here thinking this could be a set up, and I don't get scared ma." I say as we both laugh.
"Okay but seriously..."
"Isabella I swear. Trust me."
She yawns and nods.
"Com'ere" I say opening my arms as she lays her head on my chest and I wrap my arms around her waist. "Get some rest, I'll leave once you're asleep"
"No... stay, please?" She says looking up at me.
"I'm not gonna get merked?" I say raising an eyebrow.
She rolls her eyes playfully. "No, stupid. Don't stress it, my brother is at his friends and he won't be back until late in the afternoon or night, same with my Dad."
"Aight, imma still leave around 7 just to be safe."
"Mkay" She says tiredly.
Bella gets up and walks to the other side of the room, turning her speaker off.
I take my shoes, jacket and t-shirt off.
"Do you have any sweats that might fit me?" I say as she turns around.
She takes in the sight of me shirtless, hesitantly answering as she stares.
"U-uh yeah let me look"
She throws me a pair of large sweats to me and I go to her bathroom and put them on.
I come out and she's laying in bed, already with her eyes closed.
I turn the light off and I hop into the other side of the bed, moving myself up behind her as I wrap my arm around her, pulling Bella closer to me.
She turns her body to face me and she looks up at me.
"I can't go to sleep" She says frowning.

I admire Mariano's facial features as the moonlight shines through the window.
I think he noticed and started laughing. "Why you staring at me for"
"It's hard not to" I say, luckily he can't see me blushing right now.
He darts his eyes slowly from my lips to my eyes and back again.
I feel his hand move from my back to my hip as he begins to lean in.
I feel my heart racing as I do the same.
He stops just before our lips touch and I pull back a tiny bit, confused.
"Can I?" He says in his deep voice.
God, his voice.
"What a stupid question" I say placing my hand on his neck as I pull him in, smashing my lips onto his.
I got that feeling in my stomach, that spark. It was electric and his lips felt so right on mine.
Our lips move in sync as I feel Mar's tongue glide along my bottom lip, asking for an entrance.
I allow him to deepen the kiss as our bodies start to get hot.
Mar throws the blankets off and moves himself so he's hovering over me, not breaking the kiss.
I wrap my legs around his waist as he slowly begins to grind on me, sending butterflies to all parts in my body as he plants kisses down my neck.
