~chapter 21~

Two days later, we found ourselves in Rome, Italy. Blake and I walked into our hotel room and found out it wasn't just a room, it was a suite and it was huge.

"Wow this is great." Blake grins, setting his stuff on the bed. We start to settle in before getting ready. Because Blake's the band member here, i let him shower first. I start going through all my clothes, trying to find something cute to wear, when i hear the shower turn off. I turn around and see a dripping wet blake only in a towel. I admit i stared a bit longer than necessary and he noticed. 

"Like the view?" He smirks as i walk over to him.

"Yes, in fact, i do." I couldn't help but kiss him. His hands holding me close as i ran my fingers through his wet hair sent shivers down my spine. After a couple minutes, i pull away.

"Go get dressed, i have to shower too." He does and i take a quick shower, trying to hurry. I throw on my yellow floral dress and start getting ready. Blake walks in and looks me up and down, smiling.

"I remember this dress."

"You do? How? It was for one night ages ago."

"Yeah well it was our first date and you looked gorgeous. It was also the night i realized how attracted i am to you." He says and my cheeks heat up. Blake sits up on the sink counter as he brushes his teeth. "I'm excited for the show tonight."

"Me too! You three are gonna smash it as usual." I smile. Not too long after, we make it to the soundcheck. They weren't really doing what they were supposed to and messing around instead. I had fun talking to the fans that were watching the soundcheck and eventually it was time to get ready for the concert. I head backstage to help the boys and before we knew it, they were running onstage, having the time of their lives. 

We get back to the hotel and i went in my room while Blake went into Reece and George's to hang out. I press facetime on Delilah's contact, hoping she'll pick up.

"LEILANIII!!" She screams when she picks up.

"HIII!!" 

"I've missed you so much! What's been going on?" She asks.

"How's you and blake?" Indie comes into view, wiggling her eyebrows.

"We're really good. We did have a quick rough patch in Paris but we worked it out." I tell them.

"If you don't want to tell us, that's completely fine." Delilah says.

"Thank you but i'll tell you." I say and start explaining everything that happened. They were obviously very pissed off.

"I don't think i've ever hated Blake so this is a first."

"Don't hate him. He explained hims-" I'm cut off by the hotel door opening. Blake comes over to give me a sweet kiss and looks at my phone.

"hey girls! We miss you, especially George and Reece." He waves at the camera and then turns to me. "The boys and i are playing FIFA, so if i'm in bed late tonight, that's why. If you need anything i'm right next door, okay? Plus, i want to come check on you."

"Blake i'm not a little girl, don't feel like you have to. Go have fun with your band mates, you deserve it. Bros before hoes." I laugh as he gives me a weird look. I push him towards the door.

"Goodnight, love." 

"Goodnight, handsome. Wake me up when you get in bed, okay?" I ask and he nods before leaving out the door. I turn back to my phone.

"Okay sorry about that."

"You two seem closer than ever, which is ironic considering what he did to you." Delilah says, salty.

"Both of you need to stop hating on him right now!" I say and then explain how Blake and i made up, which made them not hate blake anymore. "Do you guys remember me coming home from dinner with my family and saying that blake was acting weird?"

"Yeah..." They trail off, confused.

"HE TOLD ME WHY!!" i squeal loudly.

"sPILL THE FREAKING TEA!" They both scream.

"He told me that the reason he was so happy that night was because my dad gave him permission to marry me." I say, grinning. The girls scream their heads off. 

"Well are you going to say yes when he finally does propose?!" 

"Uh...duh!!" I jump up and down in my chair. "I can't believe him, he's amazing."

"i'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!" Delilah squeals and indie chimes in.

Two hours later the girls and i are still on Facetime when Blake walks through the door. "Hey, why are you back so soon?" I ask.

"George fell asleep and Reece is almost asleep, so i thought i'd come back." He gives me a kiss, flops onto the bed and cuddles into me.

"hey girls, what's up?" Blake says to them. After i told them about Blake's conversation with my dad, i can tell they're trying not to squeal from cuteness.

"Nothing besides Facetiming." Indie says. "What country are you in?"

"Rome, Italy." Blake answers.

"oOOO!" Both the girls say and blake and i laugh. We talk for about ten more minutes until i can tell Blakes eyelids are starting to get droopy. I say goodbye to my best friends and hang up.

"Alright let's go to bed, you're exhausted."

"Thank you." He mutters and we quickly get ready and hop into bed. I'm laying on top of Blake, snuggling up to him, while whispering quietly. Since i'm only in my sports bra and shorts Blake's hands, that are drawing shapes on my back, is sending shivers up my spine and i think Blake noticed that.

"I really drive you crazy, huh bell?" He stops and laughs.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I say innocently. He rolls over so now he's hovering over me.

"Mmm," He hums. "I think you do. The shivers and beating heart when i touch you?" He gives me an Eskimo kiss.

"You already know i'm in love with you so what's the point of this?" 

"No reason." He starts kissing my neck and jawline. Eventually his lips find their way back to mine, and we're locked in a slow and needy kiss. Not too long after, he starts playing with the top of my shorts, so i pull away.

"Blake," I start, trying to get air. "Not until we're engaged and married, okay?"

He nods before saying, "Okay, i understand. One more kiss?" He uses his puppy dog eyes and as i kiss him he mutters against my lips, "I love being in love with you." I hum in response because i didn't want to pull away. Whenever i kissed blake, i couldn't stop. His kisses are like the most addicting drug that makes you weak whenever you get a taste. After two more minutes, i pull away. "Babe, it's three in the morning. We should get to sleep, we've got a big day of sightseeing tomorrow." 

Blake sighs and rolls off of me, "I guess you're right. When we're married can we make out everyday?"

"That's a bit much don't you think? Our kids won't like seeing us kiss." I laugh and he nuzzles his face into my neck.

"I honestly can't wait for the day we find out we're pregnant." He beams. 

I run my fingers through his hair while saying, "It's going to be the happiest day of my life."
