HAUNTED

A DARK STORY SET IN THE 2000'S FILLED WITH MYSTERY, PLOT TWISTS AND LOTS OF UNWANTED LOVE

"What are you doing here?" My breath hitches as he leans down, his lips ghosting over the side of my neck.

"Same reason you are" He answers blandly. Even in the darkness of the forest I can see his face clearly. His stupidly gorgeous face is illuminated by the moon, but I can see the tension in his eyebrows. The sweat gathering on his face. I can clearly see his eyes, his beautiful green eyes staring into mine, like he's trying to read me- perhaps trying to reach into my soul.

"And what reason would that be?" I try to say confidently, but my words falter the slightest bit. Were it just anyone, they wouldn't notice. But he's not just anyone. For some reason, he can read me like no one else. I see his lips lift in a smirk- crap, I just realized I'd been staring at his lips.

"You can't escape me either, can you?" I can hear the smugness in his tone- but the weariness and tiredness is still very much present.

"I don't know what you mean-"

"-Yes you do, you know exactly what I mean- because you feel this thing between us too" He cuts me off.

"There is nothing between us Alessio" I bite back, getting defensive- getting worried what this could mean for us.

"Please stop ignoring it Bella...it kills me having to hold it back. Why can't you just let it happen?"

"You know exactly why Alessio-"

"We are not them, Bella" His tone practically begging

"Yes we are"
