Lorenzo woke up in bliss when he felt Emilia snuggled into his side. The light shining through the window cast a glow to her face enhancing her beauty.

Freckles were splattered over her nose and cheeks, her lips a light-pink that made him want to press his lips too.

Short brown hair resting just above her breast, he moved a strand of hair to the back of her ear. His stomach grumbles through the quiet room. He thought for a moment on what to get for breakfast.

Deciding on French toast with bacon, he carefully got up to go to the restroom. Getting out in twenty minutes, he went to the kitchen to start making breakfast.

He grabbed the ingredients that were necessary to make it, he struggled at first due to him doing this for the first time. He put the food on plates and put the dirty dishes into the sink.

Turning around with the plates of food in his hands he almost dropped them when he saw Emilia standing at the doorway with her arms crossed. She held a tired smile indicating she had just woken up, "Mate what are you doing up? You are supposed to be sleeping and I was supposed to bring this up to you." Lorenzo grumbled.

She laughed, "Enzo it's fine I can eat it here in the kitchen with you so you don't have to walk up the stairs."

"No, you are going to be eating in bed because you are a queen so you deserve to be treated like one. Now turn your cute self around and start walking up the stairs." He rasped out.

Giggling she saluted him before marching up the stairs, he shook his head before following her up the stairs. Emilia was seated on the bed with pillows behind her back, she moved the cover so Lorenzo could sit down without dropping the food.

He handed her the plate and she thanked him with flushed cheeks. "I hope you like the food I tried my best," Lorenzo mumbled shyly.

"Awe, it's the thought that counts so thank you for making me breakfast," Emilia said while leaning towards his cheek to place a kiss on it. Feeling his cheeks burn he nodded and gestured to her to try the food. 

Grabbing the fork in her hand she broke a piece of the bread and ate it. Her eyes instantly sparkled as she tasted the flavors that dissolved on her tongue.

"It's delicious Enzo, I didn't know you can cook." She said while gushing over the food. "I didn't this is my first time making food," Lorenzo mumbled. 

She gaped at him not believing that it's his first time cooking, "Are you serious? Teach me your ways ole wise one." 

He shook his head, "Okay if you want." Emilia nodded her head enthusiastically, "Duh I need to get my cooking skills up." 

After finishing the meal they went downstairs to go wash the dishes, well Emilia washed them after she convinced Lorenzo that it's fair that she washes them since he cooked. 

"So what do you want to do today Enzo?" Emilia said after finishing washing the dishes. "Watch movies? We haven't seen any so let's try to watch a few," Lorenzo said while coming closer to wrap his arms around her waist. 

"Okay let's watch a movie do have any recommendations?" Emilia questioned while ruffling his hair. "Hmm I don't know I've never watched any so let's just pick one together," Lorenzo said and grabbed her hand to lead her to the couch.

Emilia sat down while Lorenzo went to grab snacks to pile it on the coffee table. She flipped through channels and saw a movie called Finding Nemo so she decided to watch the trailer.

"What movie did you pick?" Lorenzo questioned as he snuggled onto Emilia while putting a cover over them. "It's called Finding Nemo where the dad is trying to find his son called Nemo. It looks interesting want to watch it?" Emila said.

He nodded his head so they watched the movie, fully emersed into the film they didn't realize the time. They looked at the time and saw that it was 11:45 a.m, looking at each other they smiled.

"Want to go on a run Emilia?" Lorenzo said. She nodded and stood up they headed towards the door.

They run outside and stop a few meters away from the house. Before them stood father and a couple of scientists that Emilia recognized.

She tensed as she made eye-contact with a certain scientist, who watched her with a sinister look. Lorenzo felt her body go stiff beside him and glanced to see that her eyes had darkened when she stared at the man.

Lorenzo resulted in glaring at the man who had made his mate on edge with just one look. The man rose an eyebrow unsure of who Lorenzo was to Emilia by the way he was glaring at him.

"Emilia, I have brought friends surely you recognize Francsico here," Father spoke up unaware of Emilia's feelings towards the said man.

"Unfortunately I do father but can this wait we kind of have somewhere to be," Emilia said while gesturing between herself and Lorenzo.

Before father could speak Francsico interrupted, "And where is it you have to be darling? I'm sure you have missed me."

Glaring heatedly at him she spoke, "I sure as hell did not miss you, now what is the meaning of this father why is he here?" 

"Calm down Emilia he is here to help me collect data from you and Lorenzo. He won't bring you harm I guarantee you that," Father spoke calmly.

"If he tries to lay a finger on me again there is a chance I will rip his throat out. And there will be nothing you guys can do about it, let's go Enzo." Emilia said.

She turned around hand in hand with Lorenzo and started walking through the forest. They were unaware of the glare that was directed at Lorenzo and the sinister smile that spread across his lips.

"Mate, how do you know that guy, and where did he touch you at?" Lorenzo said worriedly while grasping onto her hand. Emilia raised her head to look at him with a terrified expression, "He is my worst nightmare, he is a bad man so I suggest you stay away from him."

Lorenzo nodded and wrapped his arms around her, "He won't hurt you now mate, you have me to protect you. I will make sure he won't touch a hair on your pretty head okay?"

Emilia nodded gratefully that someone could provide her comfort when she is afraid. "Thank you Enzo that means a lot," She mumbled into his neck.

He kissed the top of her head, "Anything for you mate."

Suddenly they heard footsteps coming close to where they were at. Turning their heads they face a grinning Francisco, "Well isn't this a lovely surprise seeing the both of you cuddled up together. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I am going to have to stick around you guys for the whole day."

Emilia sighed out frustrated and leaned her head on Lorenzo's neck, "Can we kill him?"

Lorenzo laughed and hugged her tighter, "Not yet mate, let him think he still has a chance to live another day. But, the second he crosses the line is the time where he dies."

"So what shall we do today friends? And before I forget what is your name?" Francisco said while looking at Lorenzo when saying the last part.

Glaring at him Lorenzo spoke, "Who I am is not important to you, but you must know this if you harm my mate you will have a painful death."

Francisco smirked, "Mate? You mean Emilia, well she was mine way before she was ever yours. So I suggest you be careful or something will happen that will separate you two."

Untangling herself from Lorenzo's grasp Emilia walked towards Francsico who held a smirk on his face that she wanted to smack off. Roughly grabbing the collar of his shirt she looked him in the eye, "If you dare try to separate us, you will be the first one that will be missing a heart."

With that, she pushed him away which caused him to hit a tree that was nearby. "Ompf," He said as his back made contact with the bark.

Smiling proudly she took Lorenzo's hand who was too busy laughing at what he just saw.  Groaning he stood up, "You are going to regret you did that when I tell your father."

She rolled her eyes, "Ooo I'm so scared, what will I ever do if her father finds out?" Emilia said while dramatically putting her hand on her forehead.

Lorenzo had his head buried into her back stifling his laughter, but as soon as he looked up he was met with a red-faced Franscio and he shook with laughter. Emilia was looking at him in amusement, "You're cute Enzo."

He stopped laughing and looked her dead in the eye, "I'm not cute, I'm handsome." She scoffed, "You're both stop whining and take the compliment Enzo."

He huffed and pouted, "Okay don't be rude." Francisco was baffled, he didn't know someone could change so quickly.

"Enough with you being so disgusting and let's get on with the day so it can be over already," Francisco said annoyed. Emilia rolled her eyes, "Your whole presence is disgusting so you better not be talking."

Lorenzo shook his head and grabbed Emilia's hand, "Let's go to the waterfall mate." She kissed his cheek and started walking with him.

Francisco debated if he should follow them and risk being a third-wheel or go back to father to have his ear chewed off by his nagging. Sighing he threw his hands up and shouted, "Hey wait up guys."
