Just before one in the morning, his phone buzzes on my bedside table where he left it, and he picks it up to read the message.
He pulls it to his face and tilts his head to the side.
"Little fox, I have to go. There are some issues at one of the warehouses and they need me there."
"Mm." I pout my lower lip out with a sad grin. "But I don't want you to go."
"I'll see you tomorrow. What time?"
"I'm working tomorrow."
"After work then. What time?"
I laugh. "Message me tomorrow and I'll let you know."
He kisses me one last time before lifting himself off the bed. My body feels cold with him no longer pressed against me.
Quietly he sneaks out the same way he came in and I shake my head. It feels like I am in some romantic movie, and he is my knight in shining armor.
Just before he disappears into the dark night, he blows me a kiss and puts his hand over his heart.
I grin madly, like a love-struck kitten.
Oh, this man is trouble. He's just stealing my heart more and more.
I close my window and draw my curtain closed, feeling lonely without him.
When I flop back down into my bed, I bury my face in my pillow because it smells just like him.
I snuggle beneath the duvet, grab the pillow he was leaning on, and hold it tight against me. I'm so excited that I met him, so thrilled by the knowledge that I really shouldn't be involved with him but determined to be with him anyway.
I fall asleep with a grin on my face.
He came all the way here to see me. Climbed up that steep drainpipe, into my bedroom window - just to see me.
He makes me feel so special.
STEFANO
It's been a few months since the night I met Amelia and we have been meeting in secret almost every day since. The days I don't get to see her seem longer and more difficult than the days I get to spend with her.
And when I'm not with her I am thinking about her.
She has become my entire world in the shortest space of time.
But I already knew it would happen. She was my entire world from the moment I laid my eyes on her.
I park outside the deli where she works shifts, sometimes in the day and sometimes in the evening. Her family is rich in ways that don't require her to work, but her father insisted she get a job to learn responsibility. I have to say I admire the fact that she is so committed to her job and doing really well at it.
I often park out here and watch her for the last half hour of her shift. We both decided it was not a good idea for me to go in as anyone could easily see by the way we looked at each other that we were together.
And we can't keep our hands off each other.
We have to be very careful about how and where we interact.
Sitting here today watching her close up and waiting for her to come out to my car I am feeling extra nervous. That kind of excitement when you know your life is about to change, but you aren't sure just how good it will get from here on out.
I know it is going to be amazing though.
