I wake up the next morning to kisses being placed all on my face. I groan as I turn away from him but he starts kissing the side of my face. It's kind of annoying me so I turn my face and blow my morning breath in his face.
"You think that phases me?" he says as he cups my face. I start laughing until he starts blowing his morning breath in my face. "Huh? You think that phases me?"
I start shaking my head to get out of his grip as I continue laughing. I'm honestly not even phased because I grew up with brother's who burp and fart in my face at any chance they get.
"Stop," I say through laughter. He licks my face before standing up and running to the bathroom. I groan in utter disgust as I wipe his saliva from off of my face. I quickly stand out of the bed and pull on a pair of shorts and a shirt Leo pulled out for me this morning. I run over to the bathroom door and go to open it but of course it's locked.
"You fucking locked it," I say as I hear him laugh from the other side.
"Yeah, no shit. I'd be setting myself up if I left the door unlocked," he says and I roll my eyes.
"Just unlock the door. I need to shower, I feel gross," I try as I back away from the door and walk towards my suitcase. I pull out a bathing suit and a big t-shirt to go over it and throw that on the bed. I turn towards the door and find him only with his head peaking out.
"When'd you put on clothes?" he asks and I scoff.
"When I got up to chase after your ass," I say as I walk towards the door and he panic's.
"Wait! Wait!" he yells as he goes to close the door and lock it. I burst into laughter as I fall to the floor.
"I'm not going to hurt you," I say through laughter. "I could careless that you licked my fucking face."
I don't hear anything on the other side but I know he's sitting there contemplating wether or not he wants to actually open the door. I slightly laugh to myself as I wait for him to make his decision. I hear him sigh as he unlocks the door and opens it. He sees me on the floor as he stands in the doorway.
"Promise you won't hurt me," he says like a child and I laugh.
"I promise," I say through laughter and he finally steps out.
He walks past me and lays on the bed. He folds his arms behind his head as I stand up and walk into the bathroom. I don't close the door behind me as I turn on the shower and start taking off my clothes. I go to the mirror and start brushing my teeth. I look up and notice Leo staring at me like a little creep.
"Take a picture, it lasts longer," I joke before spitting out my toothpaste.
"I'll pass, I like looking at the real thing," he admits and I roll my eyes.
"Creep," I mutter and get into the shower.
I wash my hair and my body, it feels so gross after being out all day yesterday. Then going on a jet and being on there for hours. Oh, and then also on top of that having sex when I was supposed to be showering. Granted, that was my fault... But still, I feel gross.
Once I'm finished showering, I walk out and wrap a towel around me. Drying myself off as I walk out into the room.
"You shower yet?" I ask as I drop the towel and started putting on my bathing suit.
"Yeah, showered before I woke you up," he says. I realize I don't really need the shirt right now, so I throw it on top of my suit case.
"Got any plans today?" I ask as I crawl next to him and lay down.
"Think I brought you to to Bora Bora just to lay in bed and bang?" he says with a voice full of sarcasm.
"I mean..." his mouth drops and I laugh.
"Pussy could never make me do that," he admits and I laugh even harder.
"If all I wanted was to stay in this suite and fuck all day, you would drop your pants even faster than you did last night," I say as I sit up out of the bed.
I hear him scoff as I walk outside and squint from the sun being so bright. Once my eyes adjust, I look at the view and notice how beautiful it is. It was beautiful even last night and I could barely see anything. The ocean is completely clear, being able to see the sand that sits at the bottom of it. It's absolutely breathtaking. And we have a fucking pool. But who really needs a pool when there's the clear blue sea right in front of you. I step down the little step before deciding to jump into the water.
I come back up from under the water, pushing my hair back and wiping the water from out of my eyes. The water feels amazing as I swim around for a moment. I look back towards the suite to find Leo staring at me, once again.
"You just love me, don't you?" I joke as I watch him slightly hesitate.
"You wish," he scoffs as he jumps in the water. Causing the water to splash me and I roll my eyes. Once he comes up for air, I now splash him.
It now turns into a whole splashing game. He's splashing me and I'm splashing him. He gets closer to me and decides to lift me up and throw me into the water. I laugh as I come up and jump on his back in a lame attempt at trying to drown him. He then falls backwards but I keep my grip on him so he ends up in the water too.
I eventually let go and we both come up. We're laughing and looking at each other as we push our hair from out of our faces. We slowly start swimming closer to each other. His eyes staying on mine as we finally reach each other. He wraps his arms around my waist as I wrap my legs around his. My arms wrapping around his arms as my eyes never leave his.
"You're really fucking beautiful," he mutters as a smile appears on my lips.
"Beautiful enough to only fuck and lay in bed while in Bora Bora?" I tease and he scoffs.
"Even more than that," he says before he places his lips on to mine.
It feels as if it's my first kiss. It's innocent, there's no lust or anything behind it. As if we're fucking teenagers who've been dying to kiss their crush. It makes me blush as I smile against his lips.
The innocence quickly disappears as his tongue slips into my mouth and collides with mine. Him groaning immediately as his hand comes up and cups my boob. I slightly pull back from him, looking him in his eyes as he smiles at me. Looking at me with so much... attraction and want. It makes me want to crumble under his gaze. I feel like a teenage girl with my first ever crush.
He wants me and only me and it makes me feel all giddy and warm inside. It's so fucking weird and I've ever felt this way before about anyone.
There's no other way to describe it except the fucking word weird. Because it isn't anything close to love. I've never been in love with someone to know, but if this is love then it's a huge fucking let down.
Love is like a volcano. It's like this whole build up of the back and forth shit. One likes the other but the other just wants to be friends because they can't admit to themselves that they like the other. And then vice versa. The whole unrequited love or whatever the fuck. And then it's the explosion. The whole realization that you love that person just as much as they love you... maybe even more. The whole fireworks and lighting shock and all that shit the poets talk about in their poems. I care a lot about Leo but there's no volcano. There's no explosions, fireworks, or lightning shock.
There are butterflies though...
But anyway, it's just attraction and lust. There's no love between us. It's just us being two horny fucks in the situation we ended up in...
Right?
"Can I say something?" he asks which throws me off.
He's had no problem saying something before.
"Yeah, go ahead."
"I really fucking care about you, like probably more than I should," he admits and I feel my heart beat even faster.
"Can I say something?" I ask and he smiles.
"Yeah."
"I care about you too, a lot," I admit as his smile grows even bigger. And now I smile and he spins us in a circle as he presses a kiss against my forehead.
"All right, time to go swim with sharks," he says as he swims us over to the deck.
"What!?"
----------
I thought he was joking.
I mean swimming with sharks? Who in their right mind would even think of that?
But he wasn't joking.
And it's not just sharks, it's fucking stingrays too.
It was fun though. And it wasn't like the shark I was thinking. You know, like those big ass sharks that mistake humans for fucking fish? Yeah, those ones.
It was little baby sharks that are the absolute cutest and I was so tempted on taking one home.
Then I remembered it was a fucking shark... Like what if one day it just gets like 100x bigger and decides to eat me?
Then the stingrays, they were so cute. They were so much bigger than I thought they would be. Honestly, they were scarier than the fucking sharks.
Anyway, it's now dinner time and we're getting ready to go out. We've both showered and now I'm sitting on the bathroom counter, doing my makeup while my hair and body dries off. Leo's in the room getting dressed and stuff which I don't even know why because I won't be ready any time soon.
This is exactly why I said I should've showered first, but no. He never wants to listen.
"You almost ready?" Leo asks as he walks into the bathroom, fully clothed.
"Does it look like I'm ready?" I ask as I finish doing my makeup and pull my hair from out of a damp bun.
"Did you finish your makeup at least?" he asks.
"Yeah."
"All right," he says as he walks out of the room.
I realize that I'm just gonna let my hair be in it's natural, waviness. I run my fingers through my hair and fix my middle part a little and hop off the counter. I walk into the room to find Leo setting out the outfits I picked out for the trip and placing them on the bed.
"What are you doing?" I ask as I slightly laugh.
"Putting out your outfits so this can go a lot faster," he says. "We have reservations at 7... it's 6:47."
"I already knew what I was wearing," I say as I walk over to the cute sage green set.
I pick it up and motion for him to put the rest back in the suitcase, which he does. I drop the towel that's around me and I lift my arms up. Making sure I shaved my armpits well enough before slipping on my outfit.
Once I'm finished putting on the outfit, I look towards Leo and he has a confused look on his face. I slightly laugh at him as I grab the bag full of my jewelry and pull out a couple gold bracelets and rings.
"What?" I ask at his confused expression.
"You not gonna-" he clears his throat. "You not gonna put on some underwear?"
"No," I scoff. "Gotta let the girl breathe." I stand up and look at myself in the mirror.
God, I'm so hot.
"Plus, I'm wearing a dress. Definitely wouldn't do this if I was wearing a pair of jeans," I say as I continue checking myself out. He throws his arms up in defense.
"Do you," he says and then sighs while looking at his watch. "Get your shoes, we need to get going."
I put on a pair of heels and grab my little purse that literally has only my phone and touch up make up in it. Oh, and a couple knives. Leo holds his hand out for me and I slip my hand into his as we walk out of the suite.
"How far is it?" I ask as I notice there's not a car waiting out for us.
"Walking distance, like 5 minutes," he says and I nod. I look up at him as I notice our height distance and mentally cursing at myself for not wearing taller heels.
"How tall are you?" I ask, feeling like we've already been through this but whatever.
"6'4 and a half," adding that half as if he's some short dude trying to tell the girl he's crushing on that he's not as short as it seems.
"With or without shoes?"
"Without, with shoes I'm about 6'5," he says and my eyes basically pop out of it's goddamn socket.
"Jesus fuck," I say as I shake my head.
Look, I'm 5'6. With the heels I have on right now, I'm about 5'8 and this motherfucker still seems like a damn giant compared to me.
6'5?
It all makes since though, his parents are super tall. But Vinny is at best 6'1, maybe 6'2 on a good day. Which is tall, I'll give him that, but everyone is 6'0 now a days.
Well, everyone except me...
We finally make it to the restaurant and we walk in with his arm on the small of my back. We walk up to the host and his eyes meet mine. A smirk growing on to his face as his eyes travel down my body. His face drops when he turns towards Leo who has a stone cold look on his face. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him.
"Reservations for Leonardo Russo," he says and I watch as the guy visibly gulps.
"Uh," he clears his throat. "Yeah, I'll show you to your table," he says as he begins walking to the table. Not even looking back to see if we're following him. I look up at Leo and I laugh to myself as I see he's clearly angry.
"Calm down, don't get angry," I simply say as I get out of his grip and walk towards our table.
The host practically runs away as soon as we reach the table. We look through the menu trying to figure out what we're going to eat. I honestly don't even know why because I'll end up ordering chicken tenders and fries...
I know... I know...
I've been teased my entire life about only ever eating chicken tenders and fries wherever I go. To be completely honest, it's not my fault. I'm really only used to Amara's food that whenever we eat anyone else's it just doesn't hit the same. And she just knows what and what not to put in our food and we know it'll be a perfect meal.
It sounds really spoiled brattish but if you really think about it, it's not really a bad thing. Chicken tenders and fries is at most $15 at restaurants. At least I know I'll enjoy my meal that's honestly pretty cheap than get something that's over $20 and hate it.
Even though money really isn't an issue but I still hate when people waste food... and money for no reason.
But they have sushi... And I love sushi.
"Good evening, my name is Kai and I'll be your server for today," he says while looking at Leo. He then turns his head towards me and gives me a small smile.
"What brings you to Bora Bora?" he asks, keeping his eyes on me.
"Well-"
"We're on our honeymoon," Leo cuts me off as he folds his hands on the table. Kai snaps his head towards him as he clears his throat.
"Right, right. Well, can I start you off with-" Leo now cuts him off.
Jesus Christ.
"We would just like to order now," he says with a satisfied smirk on his face.
"Oh-" he pauses. "Okay, well what would you like to order?"
"Can I have the spicy avocado and shrimp sushi," I politely say.
"Drink?" he asks.
"A water please and thank you," I say as I grab my phone and start answering texts that I missed throughout the day. I completely zone out and forget that there's other people around me.
"Stella," Leo says, pulling me out of my zoned out state. I look up at him as he has an annoyed expression on his face.
"What?" I ask as he rolls his eyes at me.
What the fuck did I do?
"Were you talking or something?" I ask and he ignores me. I scoff once I realize why he's mad.
"You're mad because other people were flirting with me?" I say as I start laughing. He rolls his eyes again at me and I laugh even harder.
"It's not even funny," he mutters.
"You're so dramatic," I say through laughter.
"Says the one who shot a bitch because she sucked my dick," he snaps.
"I shot her because she disrespected me. I don't care enough to shoot someone because they sucked your dick," I snap back.
"Oh really? So if I let that girl over there suck my dick you wouldn't kill her?" he asks as he points towards the girl who's sitting at the bar.
She's blonde, of course, super long hair and blue eyes. Very pretty, I'd bang her too.
Before I can even open my mouth, the waiter comes back with our drinks. He sits them on the table while I politely say 'thank you.'
"You have very pretty eyes," he compliments and I can feel my cheeks turning pink.
"Thank you so much. You too," I compliment back and I watch as Leo's jaw tightens.
"Thank you," he says as his eyes slightly travel down my body. Leo clears his throat as he clenches his fists. Kai looks up at him and his eyes widen.
"Your food should be out in a minute," he says and walks off.
And that's pretty much how the rest of the dinner goes. Leo being an absolute asshole to anyone who even looks in my direction because he thinks that they're flirting with me. He acts like I was literally fucking them right in front of his face. Like I get it, we're married or whatever but it's just a title. As Leo is paying the bill, I get up to make sure I say goodbye to Kai and the host.
"Thank you so much, Kai. Dinner was great," I say as I brush my hand over his arm. I watch as he blushes and a small smile appears on his face.
"Of course. Your husband won't care if I like... get your number or something?" he asks as he nervously scratches the back of his neck.
"No, he won't-" I say as I feel someone wrap their arm around my waist.
Oh fuck-
"If you get her number, I promise it'll be the last thing you do," he says with a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes as I look up at him.
"Let's go," I say as I go to walk out of his arm but his grip tightens. He fake smiles at me before he decides to start walking off. Once we past the host, I wave to him while yelling a goodbye.
I groan once we reach outside. We start walking back to the suite and I look up at him. He has such an attitude and such a mean look on his face. Like he's seconds away from killing someone.
Oh my god-
What if he's going to kill me?
"You um- you okay?" I ask as his arm tightens.
"Why do you tempt me?" he asks.
Tempt him?
"Huh?"
"Why do you do shit like that like I won't kill that motherfucker?" my eyes widen from how blunt that statement was.
Oh wow.
At least he doesn't wanna kill me.
"I wasn't going to actually give him my number. And besides, we're in Bora Bora. I'm not gonna see that guy after today," I defend and that's when he takes his arm from around me.
"You said that I wouldn't care if he got your number," he repeats as if I wasn't there.
"Uh... yeah."
"Cavolo cazzo, non lo capisci," he runs his hand over his face as he walks faster. I see our suite come into view as I begin walking faster.
[Jesus fuck, you don't get it.]
"What don't I get?" I ask, completely confused.
"Fake or not, flirting with some random fucking guy while your husband is standing right there is absolutely embarrassing," he raises his voice.
Oh, so this is about his ego.
"I'm sorry if I hurt your fucking ego but it's not that serious. What? You think he's going to track you down and make sure to remind you every second that your wife flirted with him? It's never that fucking serious and I'm pretty positive he's forgotten by now," I say as he scoffs and he opens the door. He goes to close the door in my face but I put my hand up to stop it. I scoff as I push the door open and find him jumping on to the bed.
"You're an asshole."
"Yeah well, you deserve it," he says as I walk over to the suitcase and pull out a shirt to sleep in. He starts taking off his clothes until he's in his boxers. We both finish changing and lay down on the bed. We sit in silence for a moment before I decide to open my mouth.
"We should totally go skinny dipping while we're here," I blurt out.
"Yeah, you wanna fuck in the ocean too?" he asks as if it's something we shouldn't do. I turn on my side as I place my hand on my head and sit up on my elbow.
"I mean... yeah," he looks at me as he takes a moment before answering.
"Not tonight," he says as he wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him. He places a kiss on my head as I settle on his chest. I sigh as I close my eyes and get ready to fall asleep.
"Goodnight, Leo," I say as I dig my head farther in his chest.
"Goodnight, Stella."
