Chapter 45 Lorenzo

• The room was quiet, the only sound the ticking of the clock on the wall. I savored the feeling of her next to me, the warmth of her body. I adjusted my body a bit so I could get a view of her face.She looked so peaceful, her features soft and relaxed. A small smile played on her lips, and I wondered what she was dreaming about. I felt a surge of emotion, of protectiveness. I wanted to keep her safe, to keep this moment between us safe. I reached out and brushed her hair away from her face, then gently touched her cheek. I wanted to stay here with her forever, to never leave this moment. I kissed her forehead softly so I wouldn't wake her up. Marianna made me feel some way I couldn't understand, she controlled how i felt, my thoughts. I knew I couldn't let her affect me like this,it was dangerous but I couldn't stop myself either. Anytime I took a step back,she took two steps forward cornering me, keeping me trapped within her grasps. It was no use trying to ignore if avoid the way I felt.
• I took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm in trouble now huh." I said to myself while I stared at her, my heart pounding. Moments later her eyes fluttered open. She squinted her her eyes trying to adjust them to the sunlight. It was the cutest sight I had ever seen. Once our gazes locked she smiled and muttered in a sleepy voice. "Good morning you"
• I felt my heart melt and slide through my ribcage. I tried to remain calm, to control my emotions. But it was impossible. As soon as she said those words, my defenses crumbled. I couldn't help but smile back at her. "Good morning to you, too," I said, my voice soft and low.
