a/n: hello beautiful people! here we have this duo again. This are getting a little messy, right? don't worry, the best is about to come soon ;)

Every way of feedbask is very welcomed

🖌️

Don't think about him. Don't make a suspicious noise that would make him come. Don't. Don't. Don't. But those god damn blue eyes were staring back at me, so alive and so real.

"Uhg, no" I groaned, closing the sketchbook.

When I woke up I went as fast as I could to my art room, thinking that what I drew last night was some type of dream. That I was dreaming that I was drawing his eyes.

But no, they were real and captured on those thick papers, draws of his eyes from every angle I saw them.

"You are so stupid, Lily" I groaned, face palming myself.

I wanted to tear off the pages. But… those eyes were so beautiful, and they were looking at me.

"God, you are acting like a teenage" I groaned, closing the sketchbook and leaving it on the table. "So annoying"

I sighed, opening the window and looking at the sea. So close but so far at the same time. It's like the sea is calling me to go but I know that it won't be possible.

I grabbed my phone, playing soft music on the speaker, and focused on the empty canvas that was in front of me. I want to paint, but I don't know what. I want to do something since I can walk around the village or go to work, keeping my mind busy.

"What should I do with you?" I sighed, grabbing a pencil and taking a deep breath.

I sigh and let my hand work, moving all over the canvas.

Since I was little I always wanted to paint. My school notebooks were full of drawings. I secretly bought all the material I needed and hid it under the bed. I watched tutorials on the internet in the privacy of my bedroom.

I always did this alone.

"What the fuck?" I frowned when I saw what I was drawing. "No way, come on!"

It's as if my brain was letting my heart have the reins of my hands.

I groaned and grabbed an eraser, undoing everything that gave any type of hint about the crush of my brain.

"How can I be so ridiculous?" I sighed.

Baking is good, I don't have to draw someone, not even the guy next door with beautiful eyes… Stop!

"Oh dear Zeus, help me" I groan, tying my hair in a ponytail. "Not you, Aphrodite"

I always felt that every type of handmade thing was my specialty. I can draw, I can make jewelry, I can bake and cook. I would be a perfect housewife, just how my mother wanted.

Too bad I'm not that type of woman.

One of the things that really made me fall in love with Greece was the food. Those Mediterranean flavors were something addictive for me, and the pastry was something I needed to learn how to make.

"Shit…" I groaned, feeling the pain in my foot.

I shouldn't be standing up, if Logan knew he would come and push me to the couch immediately.

Logan, Logan, Logan… why the hell I can't stop thinking about him? Maybe it is the fact that he came running to check on me, worrying about me. Maybe my heart is saying that it’s a signal of some kind of fate.

“Oh, don’t be ridiculous” I scoffed at myself. “Fate with him? Don’t make me laugh”

The angel in my shoulder was saying sweet things through my ear to my brain, trying to convince it that this was something new. I could hear how the devil in my other shoulder was getting in the argument too.

“I need air” I groan, going to the balcony and looking at the sea with some kind of sadness.

I wish I could be there, I wish I didn’t meet my neighbor, I wish none of this happened.

I wish…

“I wish you were never born!” she exclaimed, slapping my cheek, making the skin burn like if someone lightened a bonfire on ot. “You bring dishonor to this family!”

“But…” I mumbled, feeling the tears blurring my eyes. “Mom I don’t want to…”

“You have to” she stated, mad. I could see her eyes getting red with anger, how the vein of her neck was getting more visible as she tensed her jaw. “It will be in a week. You better not embarrass us more that you already did”

I gasped blinking quickly the tears, surprised by my own memory. I sniffled quickly, brushing the furtive tears that escaped my eyes and ran down my cheeks, making me sigh and hug myself.

No. Don’t get back there, Lily. You are better than this.

“You okay?” I heard him from the other side of the wall that separated the balconies.

I sigh and roll my eyes, closing them. It’s really impossible to not think about him.

“Are you crying? Are you in pain?” he kept asking, making me bite my lip.

“I’m okay, Logan” I said, more sharply than I wanted. “I’m just hating the fact that I can’t go to the beach because of this stupid bandage in my feet”

“I get it” he sighed.

I sigh and walk back inside the apartment, going around with the clutches. When I smelled that sweet scent coming from the oven I smiled, opening it and getting everything out of it.

I smiled proudly, looking at the perfectly made baklava and how the scent of it made my stomach growl in hunger. If you want to make a woman happy, give her her favorite meal.

I looked at the clock of the wall, biting my lip. I should make lunch, it's time for it. Morning went by pretty quick, thinking about a certain someone and trying to distract myself. It was good, refreshing. Something I really needed.

Peaky Blinders was playing in front of me, but I stopped it when I heard the front door opening.

"Hello?" I frown, looking at the front door, getting surprised to see Logan there. "Logan? What are you doing?"

"Do you have scissors?" he asked, walking inside the kitchen and placing the bag he brought on the table in front of me. "Oh, it smells nice, what is it?" he smiled pointing to the freshly made pastry.

"Baklava" I frown, following his movements with my eyes. "What are you doing?"

"I'm searching for the scissors" he said, opening the drawers. "I swear I saw some yesterday… here!"

I frown, looking at him turning around with the scissors on his hand and walking towards me, sitting in front of me.

"Put your foot here" he said, patting his thigh.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I frown looking at him, confused.

"You want to go to the water, right?" he asked me, sighing. "After you told me you were bad because you couldn't go to the beach I went back to the medical centre to talk with the doctor"

"You did what?" I mumbled surprised. He really did that?

"I talked with him" he said. "With the help of Google Translate, of course, and I had him on the phone with a friend that is physiotherapist"

I looked at him and swallowed thickly. Why is a stranger doing such things for me? I'm sure he feels guilty, because it was his fault I am like this.

"The doctor said that it wasn't too swollen, he put the bandage to immobilise the ankle And my friend said that with injuries like that he likes to use elastic bandages that can be taken off" he explained with a smile, making me look at him. "So… that's why I'll cut the bandage and put this"

"You… you did this… for me?" I was surprised.

No one did this for me. No one cared for me like this.

"Yeah" he nodded, opening and closing the scissors with a smile. "So, before I cut this bandage… Can I eat?"

"What?" I frown, suppressing a laugh.

"Yeah, I didn't have lunch" he said. "And that… thing looks and smells delicious"

"It's a musaka" I said looking at my plate. "I have more on the fridge"

"Okay" he smiled and got up, going to the fridge and opening it.

He walked around my apartment like he was in his own house. If someone else walked inside my house and grabbed everything like that I would be annoyed, but he wasn't annoying me. There was something in my brain that didn't turn on the alarms.

"God, you really are an amazing chef" he said after warming the plate and grabbing a fork, sitting next to me. "See, another thing I know about you"

There was something about him that didn't annoy me. Maybe it was his smile, how it reached his eyes. He looked friendly, shameless, open-minded.

"Why are you doing this?" I frown, leaving the fork on my plate.

"Doing what?" he frowned, talking with his mouth full and then swallowing it. "Eating?"

"No. This" I frown, moving my hands between us and them to the scissors and the bag. "Why?"

"You said you wanted to go to the beach" he repeated. "And I want to take you to the beach. That's it"

"Yesterday you said that I shouldn't go" I frown. "God, you are confusing me, Logan!"

"I felt bad when I heard you cry" he sighed. "I don't like knowing people feel bad, or are angry because of me. For once I want to make someone happy, even if that means doing a simple thing as going to the beach"

I look at him and sigh, eating again in silence.

No one did something like that for me. No one wanted to gesture like that for me.

"Come on, Liliane" my mother said, standing at the door.

"I don't want to!" I cried softly.

"Ah… don't act like a baby" she groaned, rolling her eyes. "Things like that happen. Dogs die and you'll keep living"

"He was my best friend!" I cried, hugging the small plushie he loved.

"Stop being a crybaby and get dressed!" she exclaimed. "Your father is waiting for us! This is important, Liliane!"

"I said no!" I cried harder, hiding under the blankets.

No one tried to make me smile after crying. My father used to buy me things to make me shut up. My mother used to look at me disappointed.

"Thank you" I whisper, swallowing the lump that memory left in my throat. "For doing this"

"It's okay" he smiled. "I'm bored, anyway. Some adventure and fun wouldn't be bad, you know?"

I smile weakly and nod.

Right, he's bored and now I'm his way of getting rid of boredom.

🎮

I always hated to hear girls cry. It really made me sad.

When my sisters cried when we were kids I always felt like a punch in my chest and I always tried to do something to make them smile again. When my friends cried because a man broke their heart I was always there for them.

And hearing Lily sniffling made my chest hurt. I don't know what it is, I don't know what attracts me to her, but I feel like an invisible force pushing me to her.

It's not a crush.

Or maybe it is?

After all this time, being famous and having a lot of girls following me hoping that I would choose them, meeting a girl that doesn't know who I am and tries to avoid me, is something that makes me interested.

Hearing her music in the morning is something I would like to get used to. Or smelling the scent of the things she baked.

Okay, yeah. Maybe I do have a crush on the girl next door that I barely know about.

"You shouldn't keep your foot down" I said pointing at her ankle. "Come on, put it here"

"But…" she frowned, looking at my thigh.

"No buts" I interrupted her, patting my thigh.

She sighed and placed her leg on my thigh with the help of her hands, letting out a sigh of relief afterwards. I smiled looking at her, watching how her shoulders relaxed and how she ate in silence.

"See? It's fine, I don't bite" I said smiling.

Then I saw her smile, while rolling her eyes. But it was a smile. And I swear it was the most beautiful smile I have ever seen in my entire life.

"Okay, so this is the plan" I said after I finished eating. "I cut this thing, we put that thing and then we'll go to the beach"

"And you know how to put that thing?" she asked, pointing at the bag. "What's that, by the way?"

"Oh, it's an elastic bandage" I said, grabbing the box and showing it to her. "I bought it before coming here"

"You didn't have to…" she mumbled, and I could see the blush in her cheeks.

"You wanted to go to the beach, then we'll go to the beach" I said, smiling. "I'll take you there"

"On the scooter?" she frowned.

"Yeah" I nod.

"Oh god, no. I think I changed my mind, I like to stay here and do nothing" she nodded.

"Very funny" I laughed. "I'm serious, Lily. I'll take you to the beach and you'll get in the water"

"You promise?" she asked, blushing and trying to not look at me.

"I promise" I nodded.

She giggled softly, finishing her meal and then looking at the kitchen counter. I looked at where she was looking and I got up slowly, leaving her foot on the chair where I was sitting, and grabbed our plates to wash them on the sink, washing them.

"You want to try the baklava?" she asked me.

"Oh definitely" I laughed. "What is it made of?”

“Basically pistachio and syrup” she explained. “It’s nice”

“Okay, then I want some” I smiled, grabbing two small plates and putting the portions on it.

There was something about her that made me want to be here, taking care of her and giving her my attention. It was like she put a spell on me, making my mind clouded. I can’t even know when it happened, when my heart and brain decided that I wanted to help her and take care of her.

“Oh fuck, it’s delicious” I gasped with my mouth full of this delicacy.

“Thanks” she smiled.

When we finished the pastry I washed the dishes again, and then I sat in front of her, with her foot on my thigh. I washed my hands and then looked at her.

"Wait, you know how to put that bandage?" she asked me, stopping me before cutting the bandage.

"Eh…" I frown looking at the box. "No"

I looked at the instructions, but they were in Greek. She sighed and grabbed the box, her fingers touching mine, making me blush softly.

"Okay… Yeah, I get it" she nodded. "Cut the bandage, then I'll explain you how to put it"

"Okay" I nodded.

I started to cut the bandage slowly, placing my hand on her skin. It's soft, so soft. I heard her sighing relieved when the bandage started to leave her skin, leaving marks on it.

"God, so good" she groaned after her foot was free of bandage. "You have no idea how good it feels"

"I can tell" I nodded, watching her ankle. It's a little swollen, and purple because of the blood. "God… I'm sorry I made this to you"

"It's okay" she sighed.

I smile weakly at her and sigh, grabbing the box and opening it. I did everything she told me to do, wrapping it on her foot and making sure she couldn't move it.

"Now go get changed" I said. "I'll get changed too, okay?"

"Okay" she sighed, looking at the bandage in her ankle. "Wear comfortable shoes to drive"

"I won't drive" I frown. "We'll go on scooter"

"Yeah, how innocent you are if you think that I'll go on a scooter with you again" she laughed, making me roll my eyes. "I have a car, we'll go on it. Plus, I still have to use the crutches, it will be easy to wear them"

"Okay…" I sighed.

I walked out of her apartment to get changed. Thank god I searched on the Internet where I was coming and packed beach things.

I took a deep breath and started to get changed. But then I started to think…

What if someone sees me? What if they find me? We'll go to a beach with more people on it, right? If one of them knows who I am, I'm really fucked up. No, I can't go to the beach. I can't, I can't.

Why the hell do you do things without thinking first, knowing that you'll regret doing them, Lando?

"Hello?" I heard her knocking on my door. "Logan? Are you ready?”

“Eh…” I frown, being taken out of my thoughts. “Y-yeah”

I sighed, grabbing my backpack and hanging it on my shoulder. I opened the front door and I swear I nearly died. Lily was standing in front of me, wearing a baby blue summer dress and her hair tied on a braid that falls on her right shoulder.

God, please help me to control myself.

“Are you ready?” she asked me with a smile.

How can I say no to her?

“Yeah” I smiled weakly, getting out of the apartment. “Do you need help?”

“No…” she frowned, looking at the stairs, then she sighed and smiled weakly. “Please?”

I chuckled and nodded, going some stairs down and she grabbed my backpack and put it on her back. I felt her hands on my shoulder and how she took a step closer to my back. I’ll have to hold her thighs, her body close to mine.

God help me please.

“My car is there” she said, pointing to a white car that was near us.

Of course it was a car that screamed Greece vibes. She’s the representation of what every girl wants to have after watching those Mamma Mia movies.

“Cool car” I nodded, walking towards it with her still in my back.

“Very sarcastic” she said, patting my shoulder.

“No, I’m serious!” I laughed, placing her on the ground. “It’s a cool car for a place like this that have rocky roads near”

She chuckled and nod, walking to the backseats and leaving our bags there.

Why do I have that feeling of being comfortable seeing her do something as simple as that? God, I hate those feelings.

“Let’s go” she smiled, sitting in the passenger seat.

“Ehm… there’s a chance… to go to some type of small beach? Like… with not a lot of people in it?” I asked before starting the car.

“What?” she frowned, looking at me surprised. “Woah, woah… stop there you creep!”

“No! What? No! I’m not saying that” I exclaimed, understanding what she was thinking about. “It’s… well… I have agoraphobia”

Three lies already. Hoe can I be so fucking stupid?

“Oh… Oh!” she gasped. “And a beach full of people won’t help… I get it, yeah”

“Yeah” I smiled weakly.

“Oh, I know one” she smiled, grabbing her phone and putting the GPS on it.

I took a deep breath and started driving where the GPS said, parking where she told me. At this point I’m praying that she doesn’t discover that I have been lying to her since the start.

“Here we are” she smiled once we were in the sand.

Only a few people were there. And all of them were old people, women talking between them. I should be content with this.

I followed her, she was walking slowly to not hurt her foot, and then she placed her bag on the sand, taking her towel and laying it there. She took off her sundress, letting me see the white bikini she is wearing, and taking off the bandage.

How can she be so beautiful?

“Can you help me go to the water?” she asked me, looking back at me. “I promise I won’t swim, I’ll go until the water reaches my chest”

“I’ll go with you” I said, putting the towel down on the sand and taking off my shirt and shoes.

I felt her eyes on me, and it made me blush. Do I have a boner? No, maybe not yet.

“Come on” I said, holding her hands and helping her get up, trying to not look at her when she stood in front of me.

She walked slowly, groaning everytime she had to take a step with her bad foot. I just sighed and stood next to her, wrapping her arm around my shoulders and then my arm around her waist, helping her walk.

“Better?” I asked, hearing her sigh.

“Yeah” she nodded.

The moment her feet touched the cold water she sighed louder, making me smile. We walked slowly into the water, she was holding my shoulders and I was holding her waist.

"Good?" I asked her.

She nodded and took a deep breath, then I saw her close her eyes and get underwater, making me gasp.

"Lily!" I exclaimed, holding her close to me. "What the fuck was that!"

"I wanted to have the rest of my body wet" she frowned, holding my shoulders since I was hugging her waist.

We didn't say anything else. She was floating and I held her close to my body. We were silent, any word exchanged between us.

She licks her lips, making me look at them. They look… kissable-

No. Stop it.

"Hi" she whispered, her hands on my shoulders.

"Hi" I whisper back, looking into her eyes.

God, give me strength to not kiss her right now. Give me strength to not do something as stupid as kissing a stranger.

God, give me strength to not fall for her as hard as I'm already falling.

Your art style is absolutely incredible. One of the most beautiful styles I've discovered in this day and age (no kidding!) 😅

I have two questions for you:

1. Are we able to make public commissions? If so, I was thinking a drawing of Kiki from Kiki Delivery Service in your art style - if not, perhaps I can request if at some point in commissions 🌱

2. Do you know any other artists with a somewhat similar art style to yours? 💡

Also, I love how your art has developed over the years! 🎨🖌️ Keep at it, as long as it brings you joy. I know one thing for certain it brings many people joy in their hearts. You are making many people happy alone by just sharing your work! 🫂💗

I almost missed your message! So sorry for taking so long to reply!

1 - I'm not sure what you mean by public commissions, but my commissions are open most of the time ♥ at the moment I'm still finishing my current commissions, so I'm only saving new requests into the waiting list, but you can check all the info here: https://inestheunicorn.bigcartel.com/commissions

2 - If you're looking for more artists with a cosy/wholesome/cottagecore vibe, here are some of my faves:

*in bold are those currently active on tumblr*

Jemlington - cute cats + people who live in a English-style Village

Cheyenne Barton - cute + colourful cartoony art

GhostPuff - cosy gouache illustrations

Kiki Nordstrom - cosy and wholesome art

Veronica Prolier - the cutest art that wakes your inner child

Nicole Josephine - super cute and cosy art

CarrieDraw - girls with classy clothes

Ash Elizabeth - the cutest cottagecore handmade accessories

Depflore - frogs and magical creatures in traditional illustrations

Ohkayyay - gouache illustrations and doodles

Taryn Knight - simply perfect art with Autumn/Winter vibes

Loon Pflug - warm botanical art

Bird - for all the birb lovers out there

That was a big list, but I hope it helps anyone looking for cool artists to follow! ♥

New solidarity set! Leaf cycle mini-pan paint set is in my store at https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1773611208/leaf-cycle-a-unique-handmade-watercolour 🌿🖌️🍂

All proceeds after fees & shipping will be donated to the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) same as last time. Or donate directly at www.map.org.uk

It's based on a tiny dot set I made last autumn, which despite being teeny raised just over £120.

I made 7 sets of this one. That red-brown earth pigment came from another small maker, & 7 mini-pans was all I could make with what I had. But it was in the original dot set so I wanted to include it! If I sell all these, I'll look for a replacement pigment so I can make more sets.

I support MAP in solidarity with disabled/chronically ill Palestinians, who like me rely on regular medical care... But unlike me have suffered as their hospitals and care services get bombed and destroyed in a genocidal war. Please donate to them directly if you can. But if you need a reason? Paint is good, eh 🍂🖌️🌿

a/n: IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!! Even if I was a little stressed beacuse I was feeling that things were weird, I hope that everyone liked this chapter. Exciting things will happen soon.

What do you think is Lily's past? What happened to her? Im reading you!

Every way of feedback is very welcomed

🖌️

I needed more. More of the way he held me after thinking I was drowning, of how his hands were on my thighs pulling me closer to him. The look on his face, the blue eyes looking at mine. I needed more of him.

"I-I think I had enough water," I said, clearing my throat and looking away, blushing.

But I don't want him to take his hands away from me. I want him to hold me the way he's holding me now.

"You want to go to the towel?" he asked me, making me nod and sigh.

We got out of the water and I walked slowly to the towel. Feeling the cold water was good, I stopped feeling the pain in my ankle and that made me happy.

I just laid there, facing the sun and waiting for my skin to get dry. I should put the bandage on again, but who cares? It's not like I'm going to get up and run. I'm not a masochist who loves to feel pain.

"Tell me more about yourself." I heard him say, laying on the towel in the same position I was.

"Hm? Why should I?" I smile looking at him.

His curls were now better thanks to the water. They were perfect spirals that made me want to touch them and twist them around my fingers.

"Well, because I want to know more about you." he shrugged his shoulders, looking straight to the sky.

"Oh… Yeah," I sigh. "What would you like to know?"

"I want to know who you are," he said, turning his face to look at me. "The true Lily."

The true Lily… No. He can't know. No one can know.

"E-eh…" I mumble, swallowing thickly. "Well, you already know everything about me."

"That's it?" he frowned. "You are Brit, but from where?"

"Eh… Birmingham" I sighed. That's true.

"Oh, that's lovely" he nodded. "And… Did you study something? You went to university?"

"Well…" I sigh, smiling weakly. "I tried, but I didn’t get accepted anywhere.��

Lie.

"Oh? Why?" he frowned.

"I guess that they didn't like me." I mumbled.

Lie.

I loved studying. I wanted to go to university. I really did. But who hated it were my parents. They didn't like that I never paid attention to the family duties. And the day they found out I wanted to go to the university, it was one of the worst days of my life.

"What is this?" my father asked, watching the letters on top of the table.

"T-Those are the letters the universities sent back after I sent my solitudes." I mumbled, looking down. "For Ancient History and Art Studies…"

"No," he frowned. "How dare you?"

"But- Dad!" I frown, but immediately flinched when he got up. "I want to eventually be on my own!"

"Don't you dare to raise your voice to me!" he frowned, hitting the table. "You are not going there."

"Why not?" I frown. "Dad, I want to learn, get an education!"

"No!" he screamed.

I tried to stop him. But I didn't see what was coming. I wasn't fast enough to stop him from taking the lighter out of the pocket of his suit. I wasn't fast enough to take the letters away from him.

I just stood still, watching him burn the only chance I had to live my life.

I felt nauseous, breathing the smell of smoke and burned paper. I felt nauseous thinking about what my own father did, locking me in the cage for the rest of my life.

"Well, then they really wasted a very intelligent woman." Logan said, shaking his head.

"I prefer studying on my own." I sighed.

"But what about work?" he frowned.

"Work? I'm happy with where I work" I laughed. "I like baking and making coffee for the people who come into the restaurant. And I make handmade things and paintings."

"Oh, really?" he gasped. "What do you make?"

I smile and sit straight, looking around. When I found some shells on the sand I smiled, grabbing them and showing them to him.

"I have jars with a lot of types of shells and sea crystals" I smiled. "I make necklaces and other things, then I sell them to the tourist shops."

"Oh, a business woman, I see," he laughed.

If only you knew…

"Yeah, kinda," I laugh, nervous. "I have to survive here somehow."

He smiled and looked at me, then at the sheets in my hand. He played with them, brushing his fingers on the palm of my hand, making me feel goosebumps all over my body.

His touch is soft, and even if he was touching the little shells, I felt like what he wanted to do was touch my skin.

"Can you make me a necklace?" he asked, looking up at me.

"What?" I frown, getting out of my mind. "Oh, of course."

"Nice," he smiled.

I took a deep breath and sighed, closing my eyes. I feel comfortable, but at the same time I don't.

I don't have control here. I can’t help but like that he’s spending time with me and that I can let my guard down, but I'm too scared to do that. What if he finds out who I am? I should relax around him…

But it feels good. I like how it feels his touch on my skin, with his eyes on me. It feels good when he helps me, holding me carefully and making sure I don't get hurt or that I won't fall.

Is this how it feels when someone cares about you, when someone is worried about your health, and happiness?

Then I like that.

"Tell me about you," I asked him, with my eyes still closed and humming as the sun warmed my skin. "So in that way I don’t let a stranger walk inside my house without permission."

"It’s not my fault you left the door unlocked." he chuckled.

"Shut up," I laughed.

"Well… as I told you I'm for Bristol," he sighed. "And… I mean, I already told you everything about me."

"So that's it?" I frown, opening an eye and looking at him.

"I'm pretty boring," he smiled weakly. "I didn't go to the university neither."

I look at him and bite my lip. He's smiling and looking at my lips, making me blush.

"Stop doing that," he whispered, this time his voice was deep.

"Doing what?" I frown, confused.

"Biting your lip" he said. "Because that makes me want to kiss you."

"O-oh," I swallowed thickly, surprised by his answer.

"Forget I said that," he mumbled, looking away. "I shouldn’t have said that, sorry."

"No, no… it's okay." I said, clearing my throat. "Eh… Don't worry."

An uncomfortable silence fell between us. I just sat and searched shells on the sand while he just laid there on the towel. It was awkward.

But why? He wants to kiss me. And I think I want to kiss him too.

"You like this one?" I asked, showing him a shell I found. "It's kinda orange."

"I love orange," he smiled, looking at it. "Would you make me a necklace with this one?"

"I have a lot of orange shells," I smile softly.

He looked at me with a smile, sitting straight too and looking around, playing with the sand and grabbing shells too.

I smiled looking at him, watching how he left the shells on my hand, how his fingers touched my skin while leaving the shells, how he gasped when he found shells of different shapes and colors.

"Can we go back?" I asked him, looking at the water.

"Of course" he nodded.

We put the shells on my bag and he helped me stand up, holding my hands. I was so close to him, and he just smirked.

"What-" I frown, but then screamed surprised immediately.

He picked me up, bridal style, and ran to the water with me in his arms. I laughed, holding onto him and gasping when I felt the cold water on my skin.

"Don't move your feet, Lily," he said, chuckling.

I laugh softly and nod, looking at him and relaxing. I just floated, looking up at the sky with a smile on my lips. I could feel his hands on my back, holding me. I could feel his eyes on me, but I just ignored it.

"I only know you for two days," I heard him whisper.

"True." I hummed.

"And ,I want to kiss you" he repeated, making me open my eyes and sigh.

"Logan…" I sighed, tensing a little.

"I know, I'm sorry" he sighed. "Eh… why don't we go back to the apartments? It's time for your medicine."

"Yeah," I sighed, holding his shoulders.

We went back to the towels, this time to get dressed. I wrapped the towel around me after shaking off the sand.

He helped me again, picking me up so I could go upstairs and then he helped me get in the car. But it was tense sitting in the car with him.

I looked at his right hand holding the steering wheel while the other was out of the window. I wanted to feel his hand on my thigh, placing his hand there like saying "I'm here". This feels like being on a rollercoaster that goes too fast and I can't see the end.

My life had been a rollercoaster once. I'm not ready to live through it a second time.

I looked at my hand, frowning. That ring felt heavier than it looked. It was too bright.

"You should be happy," my mother said, nudging my hand and making me stand with my back straight, shoulders back and chin up. "I was already going to give up on you."

"I'm sorry, mother" I frowned, grabbing the material of the dress and sighing.

"You should go with Adrien." she sai,d, looking away from me.

"Yes, mother." I sigh, walking away, facing what is going to be my future.

"Lily?" Logan called me, making me gasp and look around. "We’re here."

"Oh, yeah…" I sigh. "Sorry, I was just… thinking."

"Mhm…" he hummed, getting out of the car after parking it and then walking the other way to open my door.

He picked me up on his back again, walking upstairs and then leaving me in front of my door. I smiled weakly at him, giving him his backpack.

"Well…" he sighed, trying to not look at me.

"Come in," I said, opening my front door. "You want the necklace… right?"

"Oh, yeah" he smiled weakly. "But I'm going to get changed."

"Okay" I nodded, biting my lip and opening my door.

🎮

How can I be so stupid? Asking her not once but twice!

God, Lando. You should be using your head and not your dick.

I walked inside the apartment and took a quick shower, trying to cool down and forget everything that happened.

But God… how can I forget it? I had her close to me all the time. I saw her smiling, I counted the moles of her face, I saw how blue her eyes get with the sun. I touched her warm skin and held her while we were in the water.

"Oh, come on!" I groan feeling how my boner was growing because I was thinking about her. "Are you serious?"

Just thinking about her makes me feel this way. I wanted to kiss her so badly, I wanted to touch her all the time. When we were on the water I could feel her hard nipples. When we were sitting on the towels I just couldn't help but see her body. And during the car ride the only thing I wanted to do was place my hand on her thigh and squeeze it softly.

"Fuck" I moaned, touching myself and searching for a realease.

How will I survive the next few days without going crazy? I can't go and act like this in front of her? What will she think about me?

I rested my forehead against the wall, feeling the cold water on my nape and running down my back.

I'm scared of these feelings, but I don't want them to end. I want to keep them, even if it only means a summer thing.

After getting out of the shower I got dressed, wearing something comfortable. I dried my hair and looked at myself in the mirror.

"Don't do more stupid things" I frown, pointing at myself.

I grabbed the keys and locked the door, going to hers and opening it slowly behind me.

"Lily, I'm here" I sighed, walking inside the apartment.

Then she walked out of the room with a towel wrapped on her hair, wearing an oversized hoodie and shorts underneath it.

"Oh, hey" she smiled, taking off the towel and moving her hair with her fingers. "I washed the shells"

"That's nice" I smiled softly, following her around the apartment like a lost puppy.

She opened the door of another room and I smiled. It's her painting room. I saw it yesterday when I walked in front of it, but now being inside of it is amazing.

"Wow" I smiled, looking around.

There are some canvases hanging on the walls, shelves with notebooks and every type of drawing materials. On the other side of the room there is a table with boxes and jars on it, with jewels hanging on the wall.

"This is amazing, Lily" I smile looking at her.

"Thank you" she chuckled. "Come on, grab that chair"

I followed her finger and nod, grabbing the chair that was in front of the other desk. I put it next to her, sitting on it and smiling. Now she smells better, something fruity.

"How do you want it?" she asked me, looking at me.

"Eh… I don't know" I frown, looking at her and then at the other necklaces she had. "That one looks nice"

"So basic" she laughed, rolling her eyes.

I chuckled softly and looked at her. She started working on it, making a little hole on the orange she found and then put a small ring on it.

"Silver or gold?" she asked, grabbing something from a box.

"Eh… silver" I nodded, smiling.

"Yeah, you look like a silver guy" she liked softly, painting the edges of the shell.

I followed her movements closely over her shoulder, watching how she poked the tip of her tongue out while she focussed on the painting part.

I just wanted to touch her hair and brush it away from her eyes, rest my chin on her shoulder and kiss her cheek. I just want to do all those things but I'm scared she'll think I'm taking advantage of her.

"You want a long chain?" she asked, turning her face to look at me.

She was too close, and it was perfect. I could feel her breathing in my skin, and none of us cared to move away. I could lean on her and press my lips on her, it's just some centimeters away. But…

"Yeah" I whisper, looking down at her lips.

And I pulled away. I don't want to do something stupid. I don't want to regret things with her.

"Okay" she whispered, licking her lips.

I sigh, looking away and swallowing thickly. I was going to kiss her, I had the perfect chance to do it.

"Here you have" she said, showing me the necklace.

"It's… it's perfect" I smile. "Thank you, really"

"it's nothing" she smiled, looking away and putting the things she used back in their place.

And silence fell between us, again. An uncomfortable silence of not knowing what to do or say. I don't mind sitting close to her, our knees touching each other. I don't mind having her in my personal space. But being in silence kills me, because I can hear the voices that ask me to make a move.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" she asked suddenly, breaking the silence.

"Yeah" I nod, relieved.

She smiled and nodded, taking a deep breath and standing up. She went to the kitchen, walking slowly with the crutches, and I followed her.

"Do you want to learn how to make a Greek salad?" she asked looking back at me.

"If that means learning from the best chef I know, yes" I smile, standing next to her.

I saw her blush and I chuckled. She started to explain things, not only about the recipe but about the whole Greek gastronomy. It was so beautiful hearing her talk about something she loves and watching her do something she loves.

It just makes me fall for her even more.

"This is amazing, Lily" I groaned while eating the salad. "God, you are amazing"

"Thanks" she chuckled.

I spent nearly all day with her, and I don't want it to end. I woke up thinking about her and I will fall asleep thinking about her.

"Oh, do you want to watch Peaky Blinders with me?" she asked me, remembering that I told her that I watched the series.

"Oh, definitely" I smile nodding.

Great. Now I can spend more minutes with her.

We went to the living room and she sat on the couch, letting a loud sigh of relief escape her lips.

"Do you want to put your foot on something?" I asked her, sitting too close.

"Yeah, I should" she sighed.

I chuckled and grabbed a cushion, pulling the coffee table close to her so she could rest the foot there.

"Better?" I smile.

"So much better" she sighed.

The episode started to play, and even if I tried to pay attention to the screen, the fact that she was inches away from me,.kept me unfocused.

I want to hold her. Why can't I hold her? I just want to feel her body pressed against mine again, is that too much to ask?

I had an internal battle in my brain. I wanted to make a move on her, touch her and kiss her. But at the same time I wanted to keep a distance in case I fall too hard and end up with my heart broken.

"Logan" I heard her call my fake name.

"Hm?" I hummed without tearing my eyes off the screen.

"I'm sleepy" she whispered, making me frown and turn my head to look at her. "Sorry…"

I didn't notice that two episodes had already ended. I was too deep in my mind that the time went so fast and I couldn't enjoy my time with her.

"No, hey. It's okay" I smiled weakly, sitting straight and sighing. "I guess it is my cue to go back to my own apartment"

I saw her nod and I sighed, getting up. She followed me, getting up slowly and walking with me towards the front door. It was like the shame walk with her following me behind.

"Well" I sigh, grabbing the doorknob. "Good night"

"Good night, Logan" she smiled holding the door.

Good job, Lando.

I got out and sighed when I heard her closing the door. I walked towards my own apartment, but I felt like something was pulling me back to her door.

So I turned around and walked until the door was in front of me. Should I knock? Open the door? She would think I'm crazy.

"Fuck it" I groan.

UI grabbed the doorknob and opened it, finding Lily there, breathless.

"Hey" she smiled, making me take a step and cup her cheeks with both of my hands. "Logan?"

And I just did it.

I pressed my lips on hers, not wanting to be rude. I waited for her to kiss me back, to move. She was tense, not even hugging me. So I just pulled away.

I fucked up. I messed up things. I shouldn't have done that.

And then I felt her soft lips pressed on mine, kissing me slowly, with her hands on my chest.

She's kissing me.

"Stay" she whispered against my lips, making me smile and kiss her back, picking her up and walk towards the bedroom.

I sat on her bed with her on my lap, my hands on her things close to her ass. None of us stopped the kiss, not even when she started taking off my shirt, not even when I slipped my hand under her shirt. It was addictive, her lips are like a drug I never want to stop taking.

"Fuck!" she gasped suddenly.

"What, what?" I frown, pulling away, looking at her with little tears in her eyes. "Lily, hey. What's wrong?"

"I moved the ankle" she mumbled, hiding her face on my neck and trying to take deep breaths. "Fucking hell, it hurts"

"Oh, Lily…" I chuckled, rubbing her back. "It's okay. Did you take the medicine?"

"Yeah, when we had dinner" she whispered, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Do you have ice?" I whisper. "It will be okay"

I felt her nod and I sighed. I got up from the bed, leaving her there while I went to the kitchen to grab a towel with the ice cubes.

"God…" I sigh, palming myself trying to fix the bulge on my joggers.

When I walked back to her bedroom she was laying on a side of the bed, making me bite my lip and take a deep breath. She wants me to stay for real?

"Here you have" I whisper, placing the towel on her ankle and hearing her gasp, then sigh of relief.

"Stay, Logan" she whispered. "Please?"

"I think that what happened is a way of saying that I should leave, Lily" I sighed, smiling weakly.

"No, hey" she frowned. "Stay, I want you to stay. I'm asking you to stay here and sleep with me. I want to, you are not forcing me"

I sigh and nod, biting my lip. I walked to the side of the bed she left empty for me, sitting on it and looking at her.

"You don't mind if I sleep on my boxers?" I whisper. "It's too hot at night…"

"No, don't worry" she smiled. "Unless you have something to hide"

"Oh, eh…" I blushed. The boner was growing.

"I'm joking" she laughed. "By the way, you'll have to take off the towel soon, so…"

"Yeah, I know" I laughed softly.

I lean my back on the headboard, taking a deep breath. Then I felt her moving closer to me, making me wrap my arm around her shoulders when she rested her head on my chest.

"You are a beautiful stranger" I whisper.

"I'm not a stranger anymore, am I?" she whispered looking up at me, moving her eyes to my lips.

"No, you are not" I whisper, leaning in and kissing her again.
