Unable to decipher why exactly i agreed to meetings leo’s bestfriend as he mentioned i rubbed dexter’s fur while walking towards the car leo, cat and antonio trailing behind as usual leo grumbling and the other two siblings fighting on what we should eat since and i quote “im fucking starving and going to die of hunger” mentioned caterina.

Just as we reached the car, i went to open it putting my hand on the door’s handle just for it to be swatted away “wha-?” i turned around to see leo mockingly glare at me “haven’t you ever heard of the guy always opening the door for the girl, its basically general knowledge. Didn’t you know, hm?” he asked with and raised eyebrow “and they say chivalry is dead” i laughed shaking my head. Moving a little behind so he could open the door, i stood behind him as he opened the door ushering me in ‘go on then” he smiled cheekily. Settling in i played with dexter while he nuzzled his nose him my lap. Leo closed the door quickly sitting in the drivers seat honking a little too loud for my poor ears “oww you bitch the hell was that for” i grumbled rubbing my ears “sorry love but these two idiots are still fighting and wait a second did you just call me a bitch?” he asked looking at me “yes i did. Problem?” i stared at him as if daring him to reply “whatever” he looked away pouting slightly , soon antonio and caterina sat inside the car glaring at leo while i snickered “you asshole you have a voice use that why the fuck are you honking soo loud” caterina muttered while looking at leo who seeming showed absolute no interest in what she was saying or more particularly how she was cursing at him.

Looking at my lap i saw dexter sleeping his little breaths barely being heard mixed in the music playing.

“If you’re done then you should know that unless you wished to be irritated to death we need to reach home because nicolas is already there” he told caterina while pulling the car in reverse as she kept babbling on and on about how she’s hungry.

Soon everything went quiet and all that was heard was our mixed breath, busy looking out of the window while playing with dexter’s fur i felt goosebumps arise when leo’s hand brushed my thigh as he changed the gear. The temperature in the car seemed to be increasing but it was as if antonio and caterina couldn’t feel a thing. Quickly i glanced at leo but averted my gaze as soon as i saw him staring back at me with great intensity, his looked at me like he was searching for something he couldn’t grasp, the expanding of his pupils and his lingering gaze was too much.

Glancing at him, his eyes now trained on the road forward, cracking his neck the crack resonating in the car i could easily point out his sharp jawline and adams apple that bobbed almost too slowly . breathing out a low breath making sure no one could hear i looked out of the window laying my head on it letting a state of serenity pass over me.

I closed my eyes remembering the poem i wrote a few days ago.

Stick a bullet in my heart

Let it bleed

Let it bleed

Maybe it’ll finally heal

Maybe it’ll simply seal

Or it’ll finally cry

Maybe it’ll finally die

Acting all fine

Pretending to be alive

But when reality sets in tears pour out

and breath's come out heavy

As if i have just ran a few hundred miles

Everyday i smile, laugh and pretend with you

Its a schedule almost like deja vu

The poem kept repeating my brain reminding me once again that i am not fine, i snapped out of my thoughts when leo opened the door making me fall considering i was laying my head on it. But before i could fall he caught me by my arms. “Shit sorry i didn’t see you because of the tinted glasses, are you okay?” he asked helping me out of the car “im fine” i gave him a small smile knowing it’s my fault i spaced out.

“Good. ready to meet nic?” he asked giving me a small nervous smile.

“Ofcourse let’s go” i smiled at him, nodding he grabbed my hand slamming the door shut and locking the car.

Hands interlocked together like they were two pieces of a puzzle we walked towards his door just for dexter to wake up barking and jump out of my arms and run of inside the house.

Leo muttered something within the lines of “finally” but i couldn’t be too sure. Laughing at dexter’s yipping i walked towards him while he tried to climb the sofa, bending down on my knees i helped him jump of the sofa.

Standing up i turned around with a goofy smile to see leo smiling at me biting his bottom lip. A throat cleared making us break our eye contact, swiftly turning i saw a guy with a chiseled face, full figured a straight nose slightly dark and curly hair at the tip, his eyes a a swirling black abyss. He looked almost as tall as leo but probably shorter his lips curled into a small smile face full of amusement.

Quickly noticing i was looking at him i cleared my throat smiling at him “hey i’m issabella”

“Well hello there issabella its a pleasure to meet you, im nic, nicolas hernandez to be exact”
