ENZO DE-LUCA.

“You’re being too sweet, and now I feel really bad for vomiting it all out.” She sighed as she leaned weakly against me.

“Nah,” I smiled, sweeping her off her feet and carrying her in my arms bridal style, the suddenness of it causing her to gasp as she laughed.

“I have a lot more where that came from and I’m going to keep feeding you until you get tired of it.” I added, walking towards the tub.

“I could never get tired.” Maeve winked before resting her head against my chest and for the longest moment, I remained standing.

Looking down at her completely trusting me not to drop her or do something really stupid almost felt new and I would have thought she was crazy for breathing so peacefully against me if she wasn’t sleeping next to me at night.

That trust, the belief that I could never hurt her again, the fact that she trusted me enough to believe my words, to believe that I was going to be a good father even though I wasn’t sure if it myself….

    ENZO DE-LUCA.There was a pause. The typing bubble blinked, disappeared, then returned. Her text came in immediately.Little flame💕: Good. Cuz I want you to.I laughed under my breath, quiet, a little bitter, a little wrecked. The tension in me was a wire pulled too tight.Could we just keep texting like this until I have to pick her up?Me: I’m going to. *kissy emoji* I shouldn’t have let you go when I did. I should have insisted and brought you home with me.There was a long moment before her dots appeared again, and I braced myself for her reply.Little flame💕: Was it that hard? Letting me go?Her words hit me like a slow, deliberate touch, and my breath came in shorter, shallow gasps. I stared at the message, jaw clenched, every image of her pressing back into my thoughts.The way her hand held onto mine during the drive, the way we’d both sang to Taylor Swift, the way her eyes darted to my lips but she had kissed my cheeks instead before she said goodbye.I knew it. She knew th

    ENZO DE-LUCA.“Oh, piss the fuck off.” Levi groaned and I could see him rolling his eyes at me.Realizing that I wasn’t going to change my mind about putting him in charge and seeing that the reason I’d called was to tell him about Maeve, I watched as he laid back on his bed.I could tell that he wasn’t alone, there was someone— a woman— lying right next to him but it wasn’t my place to say anything and so, I just ignored it.“Promise you’re going to handle everything?” I asked, my eyes glued to my phone but my mind was making a million mental lists. I genuinely couldn’t wait to pick Maeve up.I couldn’t wait to bring her back to this house and let her know that things had changed for real this time. I couldn’t wait to shower her with everything I should have showered her with.“Do I have a choice?” Levi rolled his eyes again, “I don’t want to lose my head over something as stupid as refusing to cater to your needs when you asked me.” He blurted out and I snorted, laughing at him.“Th

    ENZO DE-LUCA.A brief silence settled between us, the kind that was so comfortable and filled with lots of words we either didn’t know how to say or didn’t want to say. It was filled with so much understanding.“Was that all you called me to say or did you actually need something?” Levi broke the silence, yanking me out of my daydream and thoughts I didn’t know I was lost in.“You know me too well.” I responded, laughing, my mind going over everything that I wanted to ask from him.Levi raised an eyebrow, the creases on his forehead deepening as he glared at me, “I’m really terrified to find out what you’re about to ask.”I smiled, “I know what this probably sounds like but I want to prepare for Maeve’s arrival,” I knew exactly how it sounded, and while a part of me felt like Levi was going to botch the whole thing, there was another part of me that trusted him.“I’ll talk to the maids, they’ll handle things but I want you to be in charge, I want you as the overseer of the setup.” I c

    ENZO DE-LUCA.I couldn’t take my eyes off of her, not even for a second and the happiness blooming in my heart? God, I couldn’t tamp it down even a notch.I felt like my world had regained even more color, I hadn’t expected her to tell me tonight that she wanted to follow me home, but hearing her say those words just made me the happiest man alive and I was sure she knew that too.Maeve stood on her tiptoe to plant a small kiss on my left cheek, and fuck, blood gushed to every part of my body, including the part that pressed into her.“You might wanna do something about that.” She smiled, winking at me, and making everything feel right again. I watched as she made her way until the apartment.I couldn’t move. I didn’t want to. Not until I was sure that she was really home safe. I might have been the one who dropped her off but still, I wanted to be sure.My eyes moved from the front door to the high window of her room and after about three full minutes, the light came on for a moment

    MAEVE HAWTHORN.We were both screaming lyrics now, the wind tearing through the open windows, the world outside blurring into streaks of green and gold. The next song played and it was ‘The Man’.Enzo took me by surprise by singing the lyrics out loud too, making me laugh when he said ‘if I was a man, I’d be the man.’“You already are a man, Enzo,” I laughed but he didn’t care and so, I stopped caring too. Blasting the lyrics and dancing in my seat as I laughed and clapped.“Shut up.”“Just how much of a swiftie are you?” I asked and I could swear his ears turned red, I’ve never seen them that red before, “well, for me, I’m a die-hard fan.” I said proudly.“I’m so glad our baby will grow up loving Taylor Swift so much.” I added, and Enzo laughed as we both sang. The song changed and almost every song in the lover album played, with Enzo and I singing along.“What’s your favorite song in the album?” He asked and I raised an eyebrow, it’s really hard to pick just one, I love everything

    MAEVE HAWTHORN.The afternoon sun spilled through the curtains, gilding the edge of the sheets in a golden shimmer. I stood by the window, watching the tide pull away, and behind me, Enzo was packing our things, every movement deliberate and quiet.Smiling, and reliving every memory we’ve made in this beach house, I smiled, and made my way towards Enzo and it was at that moment that he finished packing.“Are you ready?” Enzo asked, his arm wrapped around my waist as he held me close… so close that I could feel his hot breath fan my face when he cupped my cheek and lifted my face up so that he could claim my lips.Green eyes slowly opened up and I felt weak in the knees, if he wasn’t holding me, I was sure that I probably would’ve passed out or something.The vacation is over already and boy do I wish that we could just stay here forever, just me and him and no one else from the outside world.“Yes, everything is packed, and it’s all thanks to you. All I had to do was get ready.” I lau
