'Sometimes I look at you and I can't understand how someone before me didn't see what I see. Sometimes I look at you and I can't understand how someone before me didn't notice a whole beautiful universe hidden within you. Sometimes I look at you and I can't understand how someone before me didn't find every single thing they'd be searching for in a single human being, and sometimes I look at you feeling glad that they didn't, because if they looked deep enough to see all those things within you, then I would've never been able to.'

Opening my eyes, I was met with a mop of dark brown hair resting on the side of the bed I was in and small hands gripping mine tightly.

I knew it was my Liliana so I moved her hair out of her face and smiled.

So fucking perfect.

I grabbed the water bottle from the bedside table and took a sip, nearly sighing in relief when my throat no longer felt so fucking dry.

Slowly, I managed to get up and carefully walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and freshen up before going back into bed.

Laying back down, I took in her appearance and frowned. She looked so tired, with dark circles around her eyes and her skin looking worryingly pale. She looked skinnier than before and I didn't miss the dried tears on her cheeks.

Who the fuck made her cry?

And to top it all off, I noticed the white bandage wrapped around her wrist.

Panicked, I gently shook her awake.

"Liliana! Liliana!", I whispered into her ear until she finally woke up.

I had to stop myself from fucking melting when I saw her beautiful face scrunched up in confusion as she looked around the room until her eyes met mine.

Her eyes went wide and shock was evident on her face.

"You're a-awake?", she whispered in disbelief, her eyes watering as she threw her arms around my body.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and sighed in content; her face was resting against my chest and I rested my chin on top of her head.

"Stai bene?", I whispered, stroking her hair to help her calm down a little.

"I-I should be asking you t-that!", she said between sobs, trying to make her voice sound stern.

"Finché tu stai bene, io sto bene, mio girasole (As long as you're fine, I'm fine, my sunflower)", I replied, kissing her forehead as she buried her head into my shoulder.

She kept moving further away from me and I had to keep pulling her back.

"Y-You're hurt", she said, trying to maintain her distance from me so my injuries wouldn't worsen but I didn't give a fuck.

She was too far away.

With one swift movement, I pulled her towards me until her body was against mine.

"Perfetto (perfect)", I whispered into her hair, my heart rate going back to normal knowing that she was safe.

"Mi sei mancata, amore mio (I missed you, my love)", I said to her quietly, slightly tightening my hold on her in fear that she would disappear at any moment.

"Anche tu mi sei mancato (I missed you too)", she said softly, her warm breath fanning against my neck, making me shiver.

She missed me?

Fuck. I couldn't believe it.

"R-Really?", I stuttered in dismay.

The next thing I knew, my ears were blessed.

She laughed.

She fucking laughed and it was the best thing I've ever heard. I wanted to record it and have it on a constant loop.

"Do it again", I asked, stunned.

She blushed and covered her mouth, embarrassed that she had laughed in front of me.

"You don't have to be shy around me, love", I whispered, my hands going to her sides and tickling her.

She was surreal.

Just her laugh had so much power over me that I would do anything to keep that smile on her face.

Her eyes were creased and her lips were curled up in a gorgeous smile; I stopped tickling her to admire the beauty in front of me.

She was on top of me, her arms against my chest and her face just inches from mine.

My hands were sweaty from how nervous she made me feel. I had butterflies in my stomach and I couldn't help but look down to her lips.

I would never do anything she wasn't ready for. I would go at her pace and even if I would have to wait a lifetime, simply being here with my made me the luckiest person in the world.

"Il mio cuore ti appartiene (my heart belongs to you)", I whispered so quietly, I didn't think she even heard it as I tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

It was as if time froze as her face came closer to mine and I forgot how to fucking breathe as her lips touched mine.

Words couldn't even begin to describe how I was feeling. It wasn't a rough kiss or an urgent one, it was slow and passionate. It was a kiss which conveyed feelings which words never could.

It had been a few seconds before I felt tears run down her cheeks.

"What's the matter, Liliana? Did I do something wrong? Do you want me to leave?", I quickly questioned, scared to death that I did something to upset her.

"N-No! Y-You did nothing wrong!", she said, whilst wiping her tears away.

"I-I just really w-wanted you t-to be my first k-kiss", she whispered, tears springing to her eyes.

I took my arms out, waiting for her permission, before enveloping her into a massive hug.

I kissed her forehead and then repositioned both of us until we were face to face.

Her eyes glossed with tears and I used my thumb to wipe the tears off her face.

"What those fuc-men did to you, was something you didn't give consent to. As far as I'm concerned, this was your first kiss because hopefully it was something that you wanted", I told her, my eyes looking at hers the whole time.

"C-Can I tell you something?", she asked my shyly.

"Anything", I told her, waiting to hear what she wanted to say.

"I-I was really s-scared that y-you wouldn't w-want to kiss me b-back", she admitted and then hid her face in my shoulder. I could feel her burning cheeks on my bare skin but I didnt want to make her feel even more embarrassed.

"Can I tell you something?", I asked her.

"A-Anything."

"I'm so happy that you were brave enough to kiss me. We deserved happiness a long time ago and now its our turn to finally have it."
