The Consequence Of Us

All In, Whatever It Takes

Matteo

I wished more than ever things would just stay this way but I'm afraid that once we burst our bubble that it will all go away. Adeline fast asleep curled up in my arms. Her little pout as she sleeps is tempting to kiss. It has been two weeks of us hiding from the world our relationship. We go to work, sometimes I stay with her, sometimes she stays with me. We make dinner or order in, we talk, we have sex. Often. More than usual I don't even have hint at it because Adeline is already thinking about it. I love the smell of her shampoo covering my pillows. I love feeling her warmth against mine. Two weeks but it feels like parting of her would break me.

I kissed her temple and stood up slowly to not wake her, slipping on a pair of boxer briefs and checking my emails on my phone. Mostly work. However since Adeline was set on finding out what really happened to her mom, she was meeting with Cordelia later today. I wanted to be there for her but I couldn't and it killed me a little but I promised that I wouldn't be far from her and I would go visit my mother meanwhile she went to visit Cordelia.

I walked into my closet and pulled out a pair of jeans, t-shirt and a navy blue pullover sweater. I look over at Adeline and feel guilt all over for taking Cordelia's money. Yes it paid my law school to get out of school debt free but what if I didn't have that? Life was so fucked. I had earned my spot in school, I earned my grades, I earned my job and my life now but why did it feel like false security? Meaningless. I liked my job but I felt so empty, not until she came in.

Washing my face and combing away the sex and bed head, I headed over the kitchen to prepare coffee for us. I wanted to take her to breakfast before we headed over. It was the little moments we had in the morning and after work that brought life into my own life.

Adeline walked out the bedroom in my old grey t-shirt that looked so much fucking better on her but I appreciated those little silk slips she kept in her closet as well. "Morning Bellissima." I smiled placing my coffee mug down to grab a mug for her.

She smiled softly, wrapping her arms behind me and kissing my cheek, "Prestante"

I look over at her surprised to hear her reply back to me in Italian. "Have you been learning Italian?"

She nods, "I have. Mostly google translate and Duolingo." She admits sheepishly, "I take five-minute lessons during my lunch break. I can say things like Come ti chiami? Cara Mia?" My heart swells hearing her admit to learning the language for me.

"You are my beloved as well." I nuzzle her neck and place a chaste kiss on the spot that makes her weak. "I thought we could get breakfast before we drive?"

She nods, taking a sip of my coffee and making a face, "I like my coffee better." and reaches for the coffee I added creamer to, "So I drop you off at your mother's and then I come back for you when I'm done with Cordelia?"

I nod, "Yes, We will take my car."

"Too bad we can't just stay in and..." She trailed off, playing with my belt causing me to raise my brow at her.

"You mean the thing we did last night three times and regularly for the past two weeks?" I teased. My Adeline was insatiable. The male part of my brain thinking that I am the only one to invokes that side out of is enough to make me hard but that can wait for another time.

"In my defense, I didn't know sex was supposed to be like that or orgasms felt like that so I'm just trying to catch up for all the years I've been missing." She grins.

I kissed her forehead and looked at her, "I will make sure of that but for today, you said you wanted to talk to Cordelia. I just hope you know what you are getting into. You haven't even told anyone that you plan to break it off with Sebastian indefinitely."
