I held on to Isabella, the entire night, not even thinking about letting her escape my arms for a second. I felt quite lost before I met her, there just wasn't much purpose to the things I did and the way I went about them wasn't suiting either. I could say both of us evolved and grew since the first night we met. I sure felt calmer and at peace knowing I was loved by her. And she, she found the confidence and happiness she lost at a certain point in her life. I still had a lot to learn but I was going to get there for her. Be less selfish more considerate, I tried to tell myself every day to remind me of it.

She looked so beautiful lying next to me in bed, the golden sun beaming through the curtains, lighting up her face. I didn't want to wake her but I had a long day at the tattoo shop and I also didn't want to get out of bed without cuddling and kissing her first. My finger caressed the soft skin of her blushed cheek, my fingertips ecstatic that they were able to touch her. I love her so much.

Her eyes slowly started to flutter, opening them shortly thereafter. Her small and tired eyes met mine and I couldn't be happier to have her here with me in this simple moment.

"Hi there." She whispered, scrunching her nose making it wrinkle. Fucking cute. Her arms wrapped around me as she rolled on her stomach half her body lying on me as she snuggled her face in the crook of my neck.

"Mmhh Come here." I hummed, wanting her even closer to me than she already was. I pulled her on top of me, her face still tucked away between my shoulders and my neck. "Sleep well?" I asked her because it felt so natural to ask, so obvious to care, wondering what kind of adventures she had been on during the night.

"Mmm, I'm still tired." She whispered softly, her voice hoarse and I felt her breathing become heavier while drawing circles on her back, my other hand going through her thick blond hair.

"I'm sorry for waking you, but I have to go soon." As if wide awake she lifted her head up from my neck facing me, a pout on her lips.

"Why?" She whined, intensifying her adorable pout.

"I have to work today, and I woke you up so I could bargain a kiss from you before I went." I said, playfully lifting my head up to meet her lips. She didn't hesitate and kissed me back, smiling against my lips when I held on to her bottom lip a bit longer that the usual peck.

"I'm going to miss you." She whispered and her words instantly turned me into a gooey mess, my heart swelling of the thought of her missing me.

"I'm going to miss you too. You know you don't have to leave? You can stay here, study, watch Netflix, whatever you want." I whispered against her lips, adoring the sight in front of me as I watched her green ones light up with joy, a smile shaping her beautiful face. "I guess that's a yes." I chuckled, caressing her cheek before slowly rolling her off me before I was going to get late. She whined when I tried to escape her even thought I didn't want to. "I'm going to take a shower." I said getting out of bed, her fingers holding on to my hand to keep me underneath the sheets with her. She pouted even more adorable than before and I felt my mouth curl up into a smile. "I'll make sure to come back and say something before I leave." I said, eyeing her up as she was laying in my bed, her arms sprawled out, the curves of her breasts perfectly visible in my grey T-shirt she was wearing. I would burry myself in her all over again, if I didn't have to leave. Damn not now I tried to tell myself when I stepped in the shower with a boner, caused by just waking up next to her and seeing her in my bed wearing my clothes. I took off my boxers and stepped into the shower, a cold one of course because if I didn't, I'm pretty sure I would have walked out of the bathroom halfway through my shower just to lay down next to her again.

I let the cold water stream over my face, wetting my hair briefly before the coldness would cool me down too much, not possible but I was assuming taking a cold shower like this also wasn't very good for my manhood either.

I dried myself down with a large towel and watched myself in the mirror, surprisingly catching myself with a smile on my face, and that's when I fully realized that without her I would go back to this depressed shell of an asshole that hides behind an unsuiting reputation and some ink. Tough on the outside, broken on the inside. But not anymore, not since she glued back the pieces and I didn't need to use the exterior to build a wall around my true self, because she loved that part of me too...

I let my hair airdry after drying most of it with the towel. When I walked back into my room to grab underwear and a full outfit, I noticed she was still laying on her back, her arms spread out next to her and her eyes peacefully closed. Her mouth was slightly parted, and I took that as a sign she fell back asleep, immediately making me chuckle when I noticed. God I never want her to leave my apartment, I want her to be here whenever I get back.

Taking out an outfit I got dressed, my eyes wandering off every once in a while, to watch her sleep. I tiptoed, yes I tiptoed..., to her side of the bed, leaning in to kiss her cheek and as soon at my lips touched her skin her eyes widened and she was wide awake. "I thought you were fast asleep... Sorry for waking you baby but I just wanted to steal one kiss before I went." I whispered, my hands on either side of her face as I hovered over her.

"I was, but I didn't want to miss you saying goodbye." She smiled with mischief before swinging her arms around my neck like a monkey, pulling me on top of her. I gave in with pleasure, putting my weight on her without crushing my Snowflake. She looked at me as she stared at my lips. For a minute she just stayed like that until she surprised me by planting her lips on mine, her teeth grazing my bottom lip as she pulled back. Fuck.

I pulled back slightly, slowly letting her teeth slide over my bottom lip until she released it. "You have no idea how sexy you look right now." I whispered, watching every tiny and barely there freckle on her face, and I knew each and every little spot because I studied her while she was asleep, the sunlight hitting her face, making them more visible.

She chuckled, her hands sliding over the side of my neck. She tiled her head sideways staring at me. "Lukas, it's morning, I look like crap." She said while giggling.

"Well, I have never seen such sexy crap in my life." I chuckled, leaning in again to plant a kiss in her the hollow of her neck.

She laughed rolling her eyes as she swatted at my chest when I joked, trying to tell her I don't care how bad she thinks she looks; she'll always look perfect to me.

"I'm serious though." I leaned in, kissing her neck again while softly sliding my tongue against her skin as I did so. "So fucking sexy." I whispered against her skin, feeling her body tense underneath me as she arched her back. I kissed her neck again, even more intense than before. "My beautiful." I kissed her skin softly "Smart." I slid my tongue over her skin. "Kind." I sucked on her skin, softly without making a mark. "Funny." I put one of my hands in her neck holding it steady as I kissed her again. "Girlfriend." I whispered against her throat. She pushed herself up against me once more, showing me she wanted me just as much and I'm pretty sure I took a cold shower for nothing because it didn't help one bit.

I pulled back to see the look in her eyes. Her lips were parted with want and her cheeks were flushed. For a moment I just stared at her, appreciating everything about this girl, outside and inside, realizing she was my everything.

Isabella's hands found their way to the hem of my T-shirt, hastily trying to lift it up. Reluctantly I sat up pulling away from her as I took her eager hands in mine. "No, no, no Bells. If you do that I will be late again." I forced myself to say, really forced because I wanted her more than work right now, more than anything.

"Please..." She said with a begging look in her eyes as she sat up on her knees next to me, my T-shirt barely covering her thighs. Fuck she drives me insane. Her fingers intertwine with mine while she held our hands up between us, tilting her head and sticking out her bottom lip again. "But I really like how you fuck me in the morning." She said, surprising me again with her dirty words as I widened my eyes, asking myself what happened to the sweet girl that became wild all of a sudden. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. And by swearing to myself all I thought about even more was to actually fuck her.

"Well, I really love how you are so horny right now too, but I really have to go." I

whispered, my eyes focused on her parted pout, imagining her lips around me.

Without a warning she sat up on her knees before leaning in, her lips softly kissing the skin beneath my ear. "I know you're already hard." She whispered near my ear while bringing my hands to her breast so I could feel them in my palm. Mmh Shit and she's right I'm hard as fuck. I moaned to myself, lightly squeezing her breasts, enjoying how they filled my hands.

I shook my head and closed my eyes trying to keep myself together. She knew I was close to giving in and decide to push it a bit further. She leaned in again, pulling my earlobe between her teeth before whispering once more. "But Lukas, I'm so wet." Holy fuck hearing her say it is something else...

I grabbed her waist and pushed her back, her back gently hitting the matrass and her head softly falling back onto her pillow. "Nha ah, enough with the teasing Isabella. If you're wet down there, take a cold shower and you'll be wet everywhere. It's fun, trust me I have been taking many of those since I've met you." I said playfully while pulling the sheets over her to cover her up, taking away the temptation, but barely having any effect. I pressed the sheets over her, tucking her into a little cocoon so she couldn't escape. I swung my leg over her to straddle her tiny body putting her hands just above her head, her fingers intertwined with mine. "Baby, as much as I really, really want to fuck you I also want to keep my job." Which was a half lie because I secretly wanted her more.

She pouted again and frowned her brows at me. After I returned her frown with a smile, she slowly joined me as the corners of her lips curved up, showing her cute little dimples. "Fine then, go. Get out of my sight before I change my mind." She laughed, pushing her head up in attempt to kiss my lips but I was too far away for her to reach.

"I'll leave you my spare key on the kitchen table so you can come and go as you want." I said before pecking her lips quick and sweet, trying not to deepen the kiss which asked quite the willpower. She suddenly looked at me with some kind of sadness in her eyes that I couldn't explain since I just told her to have my key, which I suppose was a good thing. A step in the right direction. "What's wrong?" I asked her, frowning my brows with some anxiety and nervousness starting to form at the pit of my stomach.

"Nothing." She shrugged, lightly shaking her head.

I tilted my head sideways, observing her desperate eyes. "Tell me." I leaned in kissing her lips softly with sweet intentions as an attempt to make her say what was bothering her. "Please." I whispered against her lips.

She sighed, making up her mind on how to tell me. Her mouth was already parted, words at the tip of her tongue until I waited for sound to escape her throat. "I'm just afraid that if I take that key, you'll act like last time." She said, sadness in her tone and that's when I remembered being an absolute asshole to her the last time I offered her my key. Fucking idiot that I am.

I let go of one of her hands to swipe the back of my fingers against her cheek, like it was the sweetest gesture I know. "It won't happen this time." I cupped her face, my thumb caressing her skin. I leaned in again, brushing my nose against hers, my stomach flipping multiple times. "It was a misunderstanding. I know now that if something happens, I have to talk to you first instead of immediately turning into this raging asshole." I said pressing my lips on hers. "And it'll be different cause I'm letting you keep it this time Bella. I want you to come and go whenever you want, well not go, don't go." I kissed her lips again in the softest manner. "Please, I'm serious, be here when I get back." I asked her, our noses still touching, and I felt relieved when she pushed her head up to connect our lips once more.

"I will be here. I promise. I'm going to walk home to get my textbooks and go to class in the afternoon, but I'll be back after that." She whispered against my lips. I immediately smiled like an idiot and looked forward to be back home.

"I really have to go now Snowflake. Please be safe walking home." I told her, and I meant it. I didn't like it that she always had to walk. Maybe I should buy her a bike. I gently pushed a strand of hair out of her face before kissing her again. "I love you." I whispered while looking at her for one more second that I wished could take forever.

She smiled while I got up from the bed and I turned around to face her. "I love you too." She chuckled. I could never get sick of hearing her say that.

I looked back at her one last time before closing the door behind me. Watching her turn to her side to snuggle her face into my pillow instead of hers made my heart skip a beat, realizing she's the reason it beats at all.

I put my spare key on the kitchen table like I promised and even wrote my Netflix login on a post-it next in case she didn't have an account. After putting my shoes and leather jacket on I went to the garage to take my bike and drove to work in a hurry. Either I should tame that wild woman in my bed or get up earlier so I can have more time with her in the morning. Option two sound good to me.

When I arrived at work, I learned that Ben had called in sick, which figured as my sister had probably given him a headache. She can get pretty riotous and annoying when she's drunk. The rest of the day I tried to handle some annoying customers myself, but I kept my cool thinking about Bells waiting for me when I get home.

When my shift was over, I left the shop with a smile on my lips, a certain girl on my mind. But my joy was only brief. My smile quickly turned into a frown when I approached my bike. Something wasn't right and the moment I noticed my tires had been slashed something hard hit me in the head, and my ears immediately stared to ring as I saw the concrete approaching. Everything went pretty black after that.
