When I woke up the next morning, Leo wasn't beside me. A note was, however.

Bambina,

I'm setting everything up for our date this evening as you're reading this my love. Enzo is going to make you breakfast and keep you company until I can see your beautiful face again.

See you in a few hours mi amore, 

Dress cosy :)

Yours, 

Leo.

I squealed as I read the handwritten note. I left it on the bedside table and walked into his bathroom to shower. 

Once I had cleaned my hair and body, I wrapped myself in the towel that I had taken for myself and walked into his wardrobe, where he had insisted that I store my clothes as well. Leo had cleared out half of his wardrobe so that it was half mine, half his. Although he had left a few hoodies on my side. hehe.

"Ah! la nostra Donna, buongiorno." Enzo smiled as I walked into the kitchen, placing a plate of food on the island.

{Ah, our Donna, good morning} 

"Buongiorno, Enzo, grazie per colazione" 

I chose to ignore the 'donna' part of his greeting, I'm not entirely sure what that means.

{good morning Enzo, thank you for breakfast}

Enzo's face morphed into one of shock after hearing my response. 

"You speak italian?" 

I giggled. "Yeah, I like languages, aussi, je parle le francais" I replied.

"Damn. And here I was thinking, we could talk about you without you knowing, now you can with us. None of us can speak french, except Theo. Aw no, now you guys can have all these secret sibling conversations about me." He pouted.

"Oui, c'est genial!" I laughed as I sat down and started eating the toast on my plate.

"Okay. What the fuck does that mean?" He practically yelled.

"Language. And it means 'yes, it's great'" I explained, sipping my orange juice. 

"Okay fine. Now, what are we doing before your date with Leo?"

"We?"

"Yes we. Now, what film should we watch?" Enzo asked, dragging me out of the kitchen and into the lounge, leaving my plate on the side.

and my sweet orange juice.

:(

I looked at myself in the mirror. Leo said to 'dress cosy'. I'm not entirely sure what he meant by that so I decided to wear some leggings, fluffy socks and one of his sweatshirts because they're comfier than mine. If this isn't what he meant then, oh well, i guess we'll have to reschedule because I am far too comfy to change. 

I'm pulled out of my thoughts by a knock at the door. Opening it, I'm faced with Leo, dressed in grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt, the same colour as mine. 

"We're matching!" I grinned

He chuckled, nodding his head. "So we are, mi amore, are you ready to go?" I nodded, turning to put my shoes on but he stopped me, instead gently grabbing my hand gently and leading me out of his room. We arrived at the door of his library that is in this house.

He opened the door, allowing me to enter first and the sight I was met with made me gasp. I turned around, looking at a nervous Leo.

"Library date?" 

He nodded while playing with the rings on his fingers, which I realised was something he did when he was nervous or anxious. "Do you like it?"

"I LOVE IT!" I yelled, throwing myself into his arms. I had always preferred smaller, more cosy dates than going out to a restaurant. Not that going out isn't fun, I just liked the simpler things more. 

He led me over to a bookshelf, which was a romance section. "Pick any that you would like baby, we'll read them together." He whispered in my ear which sent electric shocks down my spine. 

Damn, he knows how to make me turn to jelly. 

I picked three books and Leo picked two from another section and he led us to a picnic blanket on the floor with heaps of blankets and pillows scattered all over the floor. He sat down, leaning against a pile of pillows before pulling me towards him. I sat down between his legs, resting my back against his chest as I started reading aloud to both of us. 

After a few hours of reading, Leo surprised me with a hamper full of my favourite foods, saying that 'we happen to like the same foods', when I really know he must have asked Theo or someone. 

"Come on, my love, let's take a walk outside." Leo whispered, picking me up and carrying me bridal style out of the library. 

I giggled, "I'm not walking right now, Leo." 

"I can't risk you tripping, bambina, I'll put you down when we're outside." he replied, carefully walking down the stairs, me still in his arms. 

~~~

"This is amazing." I whispered. Leo had taken me to his walled garden that he had behind this huge house, I swear, there can't be anything this man doesn't have.

except a girlfriend.. right?

That's what Enzo said anyway. 

We were currently standing and I was wrapped in Leo's arms. The sky was clear so we were both staring up, watching the stars. Leo suddenly turned me around in his arms, wrapping his arms around my waist and placing my arms around his neck.

"dance with me, tesoro mio." 

Ladies and gentlemen, I have melted. 

I could feel my cheeks heating up as we silently swayed, my head resting on his chest and him resting his chin on top of my head. After a while, he stopped us, moving one of his hands to clear my hair away from my face. He cleared his throat before speaking.

"Aria, I'm going to be honest with you baby, I've never felt this way. You make me nervous, anxious, angry, and above all, happy. You, you beautiful, amazing ray of sunshine, you make me so god damn happy I can't put into words. You are everything I've ever needed, and I had no idea I needed it before you came stumbling into my life. Everything about you I adore, and if you'll allow me, I'm going to prove to you how much I adore you, for as long as you'll have me. I really, really like you Aria baby. So, will you be mine? Please?" 

He looked down at me with so much hope in his hazel eyes. He was gently stroking my cheek with his thumb whilst waiting for my answer. 

"You're killing me baby, I-"

I cut him off my placing my lips against his. "Yes. I'll be yours." I smiled

Holy cheese and crackers I kissed him, I. Kissed. Him. 

"Thank fucking God." He mumbled before smashing his lips onto mine. He was strong, but gentle at the same time and that one kiss showed me so many emotions. 

We pulled away and spent a while just looking at each other. It started to get colder so we headed inside. 

Leo led us up to his room, which he now insisted was 'our' room.

:)

I got changed into one of his T-shirts, which reached my mid thighs and some pyjama shorts before brushing teeth and getting into bed. Leo joined me not long after, pulling me to his side and placing a gentle kiss on my lips.

He placed a gentle kiss to my forehead "Goodnight my love."

"Goodnight, Leo."

I think I've found my happy place.
