Their Bella

Chapter 7

Isabella's POV:

It has been a four more days since the dinner and my first day of school at the Hamilton Private Academy. Everyday this week I've stayed after school to tutor Damiano. He is really funny and is so kind, even though he tries to pass off a badboy persona.

I was currently at lunch sitting with Haley and Josh. Josh was telling us about the date he was planning for his boyfriend this weekend. Then, Haley droned on about her cheer competition tonight, and eventually, onto this weekend's plans.

After what seemed like many torturous hours, I finally made my way to the library. Damiano, as usual, was sitting in the back at our regular table. I approached him and sat down. I turned to him and started asking about the test.

"Do you think you passed it?" I asked him.

"Yeah. I wouldn't have done it without you." he told me. This caused me to thoroughly blush, like usual whenever I was around Damiano. "How could I ever thank you?" he pondered.

"I don't know, but you could always buy me a milkshake at the best mom and pops shop around?" I suggested. He laughed and shook his head. He gazed at my face.

"I have a better idea." he said as he started closing the distance between us. His lips met mine and feeling of euphoria raced through me. This was my first kiss, and it was a good one. He began moving his lips against mine, and I followed suit. He brought his hands up to my face and lightly cupped my cheeks. 

After a few moments I started to release from the kiss and we both then backed up. We were both noticeably out of breath from our encounter. He just stared at me before speaking.

"Go out with me. Please. I want to date you." Damiano pleaded.

"I don't know Damiano. My brothers said no boys." I sadly reminded him. His eyes held sadness.

"Then I'll wait until you're able to date." he proudly stated. I thought about it for a moment before I decided that I was too old to follow all of the rules.

"Will tomorrow work?" I asked timidly. He smiled brightly. 

"Yes." he pecked my lips, "Yes it will." He stood up and grabbed his books. A pack of Marlboro cigarettes flew out of his backpack. I looked at him.

"You smoke?" I asked seriously.

"Yeah, but they're just for when I'm stressed out. I promise." he said, as he picked them back up.

"Ok, well Piero is probably waiting for me outside. Don't let him see you." I ordered.

"Right, don't let the bodyguard see me." Damiano chuckled.

"Exactly, or that date will never happen. I'll talk to Haley, but you'll probably have to come to her house to pick me up tomorrow." I told him as we began walking out the library doors.

Damiano waited at the doors, as I walked out the front doors of the school. Piero was standing near the doors, like usual, waiting for me. We walked out to the car before Piero opened the door, allowing me to get inside.

The car ride was longer than usual because of an accident. I heard Piero call Leo and tell him we would be late. Piero handed the phone to me before taking off out of the traffic and in a different direction. I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Bella. Piero is bringing you to my office. He'll walk you up when you get here. I may be in a meeting, so knock before you come in." Leo said before he hung the phone up. Piero kept driving until he reached a tall building in the middle of the city.
