1. Ash and Bell just love to eat face VERY erotically
2. Annie and Ever are strangely chill yet not at the same time
3. Hara is…..Funny.
4. Leah is….Innocent
It was that last one that threw him off.
So now he had a dilemma in the fact that he whispered some pretty rated X s**t in Leah’s ear at the pool because he thought she was experienced. Now he just felt like he should tone it down a notch, he really didn't want to scare her away but he also didn't want to bore her to death, which is why they are both chilling at Damien’s house for the day in the gaming room while Damien and his family were out for a mini vacation in Italy. They didn't need a house sitter but Dami gave Annie and him a key to the house. The only rule was for them not to “damage” his home, his room was off limits and so was the boys room. To which….. Why would they go there?
Either way he wasn't sure how she felt at the moment and he didn't want to push the issue so he was currently leaning back on the gaming couch while he battled against Leah in Mortal Kombat. “Where is everyone?”
Leah wasn't currently button smashing, not looking at Emiliano when he asked where everyone was. “Um …,” she said, smashing a combo and grinning, “... ugh I think Annie said something about a date … I dont know about Ash, but her and Bellamy seem very … uh engaged most of the time … I really dont know.”
She turned her head to look at him, from her place on the floor where she ended up whenever they played fighting games. She always ended up sitting on her knees, popping up whenever she was focused. “They’re your friends, Emili.”
She smiled at him before looking back to the screen, “shouldn't you know where they are?”
She was correct, they were his friends, not hers….Yet.
“Ugh I forgot about all that with Annie and Ever…..” Bell and Ash were just….Themselves so this meant that he would be with Leah…Alone, just them, in an empty house…
Nope he wasn't about to go there.
He tried to focus on the game but the fact that he could try to make some progress or at least get a feel for how Leah felt about him, is what tempted him to be distracted and give her the first win of the hour. “Oh damn it!” Why did girls have to be so damned distracting?! Then there was what she decided to wear. While it was just a harmless sundress, the way she was sitting at the moment did him NO favors at all. In fact, if they were together that dress would be flipped up the first five minutes they arrived with no chance of it ever being put down for at least an hour and a half.
BUT he had to be a gentleman and he had to respect the fact that this needed to go slow and steady.
Despite the fact that all it took was one nudge of his foot to bend her over. God he was tempted.
Leah turned and grinned when she won and stuck her tongue out at him. “I beat you,” she said smiling though she gave him a confused look after a minute. “You okay Emili, you look …. Uh … frustrated. Its just a game right, no biggie.”
She stood up and walked over to plop down in the chair beside him, “we can play something else if you want.”
She wasn't really sure what the issue was, she just saw the brief odd look on his face.
Huh?
Emili blinked and shook his head, attempting a grin, “Y-yeah yeah I'm fine non preoccuparti, è bellissimo~” He waived his hand and tried to focus on the videogame. “Nah, I just need to focus more and pay you back.” His grin turned almost predatory for a second, “I'm going to pick scorpion this time. Who are you picking?” He hopped it wasn't the same character as last time because he was going to lose again and then he would really be upset because who told Leah to come out looking cute and distracting? He certainly didn't damn it.
Leah flushed at the compliment, cheeks turning red and thought going back to the words whispered to her in the pool. It made her turn forward giving a small cough, “okay … if you say so.” She smirked to herself when he said he’d use Scorpion and shook her head at him. “I'm using Baraka then,” she said because he was definitely going to lose again.
She chose her character and started the match and it didn't take long before Leah was standing again focused on the game, very just into it. She honestly likes fighting games and racing games, more than anything, but she was really enjoying hanging out. She liked Emiliano and his friends were fun, which reminded her.
“I just remembered Ash said something about meeting up at Hindsight later … I think it was Ash … maybe it was Annie? But anyway … karaoke and drinks around 8 ish?”
Okay so he was just going to suck today apparently.
That was the only excuse he had because he was not about to admit that he was still distracted. Sure there was the almost imprint he could see of Leah’s backside but what kind of drew his gaze was the sudden sight of legs…very pretty legs at that. “E-Erm…Leah I cant see.” He got up and moved to another recliner on the opposite side so he could get a better view of the screen only to lose…Again. <********!”
What did she say?
Oh yeah Karaoke, he could do that, that was okay. Afterwards though he was going to go make some calls to a couple of friends. This was ridiculous and he needed to get his cool back otherwise he was going to blow a gasket, and that wouldn't end well for anyone. What time was it now? Ugh it was only 6:30pm…Jeez this was going to be torture at this point. Maybe if he just asked her? That was a thought he contemplated for all of five seconds because he did not want to frighten her or anything like that.
Leah didn't hear Emili when he said he couldn't see, so when she heard him curse she turned and looked confused. When did he get all the way over there? She grinned again, but she didn't rub it in that she won yet again. Instead she went over to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
“Are you sure you don’t want to play something else Emili? You dont seem to be feeling Mortal Kombat…”
She sat on the armrest and backed out of the game to go through the list of many many games to choose from. “What about Rayman?”
Huh?
“Oh nonono Leah, MK is fine. Well…Yeah Rayman is cool too.” Great, he felt bad and didn't want to ruin Leah’s day just because he was frustrated for entirely different reasons. ******** it, he was going to ask how she felt and then see what they wanted to do from there. Aside from some MAYBE make out sessions [Maybe because being drunk and having a memory don't go hand in hand], and maybe a bit of flirting he just wasn't sure where this was going, granted this is probably because he is not used to doing the slow and steady thing [Lets not talk about Italy], and he was so afraid he was going to ******** it all up that it was wrecking with his mojo and making him awkward as ********.
Emili ran his hand through his hair [he should've put it up] and took a deep breath, “Leah, can I ask you something?” Good…Nice and chill, smooth as a cucumber. He can do this.
He said MK was fine, but agreed the Rayman was fine too, so she found the game quickly and was getting ready to load it up when Emiliano spoke. “Yeah, sure,” she said softly, looking at the screen, “I’m listening, just trying to find the right save file.”
Was she listening … yes? Was she slightly distracted … also yes?
“Didn’t we play this last week,” she mumbled slightly frustrated before she looked at Emili, “I think the file is gone.”
Okay now what?
Emili was about to open his mouth when Leah mentioned that their file was gone, “Wait what?”How did that happen?! “Really? All that progresssss…” he sighed and looked up at the ceiling, “It's Ever’s fault I'm sure.” He gave her a grin and looked down for a moment. “Leah, need your full attention.” he wasn't upset in the slightest about the lost progress, it was just a videogame after all. There were more important things to tend to.
Leah shook her head trying to contain a laugh because of course he’d blame Ever, they seemed to have no love lost for one another, but they seemed to be getting on better. Ever was constantly prattling on in Russian at Emili, so Leah figured they were alright, at least somewhat.
Leah put the game control down and turned more to Emili, being on his arm rest she was no damn close to sharing the damn chair with him in a minute. “It's really important, huh,” she said with a smile, “so serious.”
She gave a small chuckle and focused on Emiliano.
Oh wow…Shes pretty close.
Okay that makes this a bit hard BUT he had this!
“So, I like you, in the more…Attraction romance sense way.” Because how else could you like a person Emili? God that sounded awful, he sighed and continued, “I would like to know if you're feeling the same way? E-Erm no pressure or anything r-really!” Geez he hasnt studdered since he was ******** five! What is this?! He moved his hand down his face slowly, clearly turning red with embarrassment, “Look, I'm not usually this awkward or weird I promise.” please don't think I'm weird please don't think I'm weird PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M WEIRD! he had to keep a groan from escaping, God shes going to think I'm weird…Im weird…Yep…. Either way, he waited patiently, hoping he didn't look like he was about to have a mid life crisis in his early twenties.
She was a bit shocked because who was this person? Tripping over his words and all nervous … she did not know him. She almost started laughing, but that wouldn't be very nice. She smirked at him before she nodded, “yes i know … how could I not … you spelled it out pretty clearly at the pool even if it was in the most ungentlemanly manner.”
She gave him a pointed look because his words had been living rent free in her head for over almost 2 weeks now.
“Yes, I do like you, but also I'm still getting to know you, but yes Emiliano I like you.” She picked up the controller again and looked back at the screen. “We should probably wait for the others to redo all this.” she said getting up to put the controller away.
Yeah the pool was not something he was totally proud of.
To be fair, he did think she was pretty experienced so that was the only excuse he had. However, what really caught his attention was yes! She did like him, and frankly he was all for her getting to know him in a rated G manner, he would try his best to be as much of a gentleman as he could. Looking back at the screen, he nodded in agreement. “Yeah I think so too.” it was still a bit early so maybe they could watch a movie? “Have you seen A Quiet Place? I know number 3 just came out and the first one is a classic. I haven't seen number two yet. Did you want to watch the first one if you haven't seen it? Or the second?” Deciding to be just a bit bold, Emili carefully walked behind Leah and gently wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back onto the recliner with him.
He had no idea how long he's actually been wanting to do this.
Leaning back to get comfortable [Leah was just the right weight and it's not like he doesn't work out], Emili rested his chin on her shoulder, staring out at the tv, “I would like to watch a movie and you,” He gave her a grin, “Are going to be my cuddle buddy.”
Leah shook her head when he asked if she saw A Quiet Place, but she wasn’t opposed to watching it. She turned on Netflix, to try to find the movie when Emiliano put his arms around her and pulled her back to the recliner. She laughed and shook his her head. “Dude I can’t find the movie,” she laughed, though she wasn't mad, as they settled into the recliner.
“Alright, A Quiet Place … there it is. They have both too. We can watch the second soon and then go see the third, if I like it.”
She started the movie and got comfortable, knowing somewhat what to expect, but still jumping when the monster got the little boy. She ended up tucking her face into Emiliano’s neck on some of the scenes with those monsters. She ended up getting distracted after that, staring at him before she gave him a little kiss on his cheek, cheeks flushed before she turned back to the movie.
Emili chuckled lightly and held Leah just a little tighter when she jumped, enjoying himself till it seemed like his cuddle buddy was starting to get a bit distracted. The kiss on the cheek was rather sweet and he wasn't about to try and do more than he should. “Distratto adorabile?” He returned her kiss on the cheek with one of his own, snuggling his face into her neck to plant a small kiss there, “Don't start something you can't finish Leah…” That was the only warning she was going to get at this point, he was trying to be a gentleman after all and A Quiet Place was an amazing movie.
Leah chucked at the Italian and grinned at the kisses he gave her, cuddling him with a nod and turning back to the movie. It was good, but it was hard to pay attention when Emiliano’s handsome face was just right there. Still she focused on the movie because they couldn't see the second or third if they didn't make it through the first. It wasn't until the credits were rolling that she leaned up a bit and whispered something in Emiliano’s ear wondering how he would react.
Well, there went watching another movie…
Emili’s eyebrows rose a bit but who was he to deny a request from such a lovely lady? The only response she would get would be the cocky grin he had on his face while he shifted their positions on the recliner. This day turned out to be prettyyyy surprising indeed.
