Zara's pov
It's now the day I move into Enzo's place, and not gonna lie I'm a little nervous
I mean I don't know how I'm going to be able to control myself around him 24/7
But im gonna have to I doubt he even feels the same
We've known each other for about almost 3 ish months and I have definitely developed some major feelings for him
I'm outside of Enzo's place now the moving truck is behind me
Enzo insisted on having movers come help with everything instead of having me do everything
He's such a cutie
Enzo texted me back when I was at my place saying to not bother bringing anything up except my purse with me and that the movers would handle putting everything in my room
A guard opens the door for me and my jaw is on the FLOOR
THIS MAN MADE almost everything that was black WHITE!!
WHAT IN THE LIVING HELL...
Oh god is he trying to get me to love him!
Though I can confidently say that I am pro ly on the edge of starting to fall already
I can't believe he did all this for me just because I said that the dark makes me uncomfortable
Mia comes running around the corner with Maria behind her
"ZEE ZEE!!" Mia runs up to hug me
"Hi hun, how are you," I ask her
"AMAZING! Daddy said your gonna be living with us" she says excitedly
"Yeah I am " I smile
"Mi Maria, how are you, " I ask
"I'm doing great sweetie, how are you doing" she smiles
"I'm good thanks for asking, hey where's Enzo?" I ask desperately needed to hug the shit out of him for doing all this
"He's on a call for work he should be done in a bit" he smirks a little probably knowing he did this all for me
We move into the kitchen as movers are going in and out of the house with things and bringing them upstairs
Man I still can't believe the man made almost everything lighter in here for me
We almost are finished eating food, Mia went to go play with her toys in the living room and made me promise to come play with her when I'm done eating and Maria is also eating
I hear footsteps, I turn my head to see Enzo
I don't even think I just run in to hug him, I may have ended up with my legs around his waist...but we won't talk about that
"Thank you Enzo, I can't believe you changed everything just because I said the dark makes me uncomfortable, I don't even wanna know how expensive this was," I say
And I kiss his cheek ...oops AND ID DO IT AGAIN!
"It's no problem zar, I don't want you to be uncomfortable here," he says
"your amazing, "I say slightly muffled by me having my head buried in the crook of his neck hugging him tightly
It was the nicest hug I have ever had in my life
I never felt so safe in someone's arms before
Enzo's pov
I didn't even hesitate to get people at my house to change everything to be lighter here
I don't want Zara to ever feel uncomfortable
I can confidently say I'm falling for this girl
And I never felt happier when she ran into my arms
She fits so perfectly, with me holding her, her legs around my waist and arms around my neck playing with the hair in the back of my head
She even kissed me on the cheek
I don't know how I'm gonna be able to control myself when she's in the room next door to mine
"Your amazing," she says muffled because her head is buried in my neck
And I absolutely love it
All I can do is chuckle at her comment
I didn't make every single room light in here
My office is still how it used to be
I couldn't get the library lightened because of the antique wood that was used for the shelves or some shit
And a couple of other rooms but I doubt she will even go in them so it doesn't matter
To have her latched onto me like this, hugging the shit out of me I would redo my home every day to hold her like this
But the moment is over the minute Mia runs into the kitchen
"ZEE are you done eating so you can play with me?" She says
"Ya sorry I was just thanking your dad" she laughs lightly
Before she gets out of my arms she whispers a quick thank you in my ear that sends shivers up my spine and kisses my cheek once again
And I return the kiss on her forehead and she blushes
She did kiss me on the cheek when we went out to eat on my birthday, and that was the best gift she could ever have given me
But I guess I was wrong because she gave me a jar that had a bunch of slips that said why she's thankful for me
And it's the cutest thing ever
I told everyone to not buy me anything and I guess she outsmarted me with making something instead.
I follow Zara and Mia into the living room
"WE SHOULD WATCH A MOVIE!!" Mia squeals
"Sure, what move do you wanna watch," I ask
She gives Zara a big grin to which she does a small groan
" Mia...baby we watched tangled last week," she says laughing slightly
She's so cute, she looks almost like her mom when she interacts with her
And I'm completely ok with that
"But I like that movie, it reminds me of you zara" she pouts
"Awww so you like me?" Zara teases
"No" Mia shakes her head
Huh? That's weird she screams around the house all the time when Zara leaves that she absolutely likes her
Zara's eyebrows fur in confusion
My little girl then walks up to mia who's sitting on the couch, climbs up in her lap grabs her face, and says 3 words that absolutely melted my heart
"No I love you" she smiles and hugs her
I see Zara's eyes fill with tears as she hugs her back
This is the sweetest moment, I've been able to witness between my daughter and Zara
"I love you to Mia, " Zara says in a whisper as tears run down her cheeks
Damn I am so glad I decided to follow them in here
Mia then grabs the remote and turns on tangled and cuddles closely to mia
Absolutely forgetting about her father in the room...ouch
Zara and I make eye contact
I see her still crying slightly as she gives me a soft smile and I return it back
This little movie night was pretty great from hearing those 3 beautiful words being spoken from my daughter to Zara and hearing her say it back to her
Then to hearing Mia going on and on during the movie that Zara is just like princess rapunzel, and that I am gonna be her Prince Charming, that was adorable
By the end of the movie, Zara had fallen asleep
I am sure she's very tired from work and the move, so I don't make any moves to wake her
Mia giggles slightly and whispers "daddy look zee fell asleep"
"Ya she did" I laugh slightly
Maria comes into the room and takes Mia to go get ready for bed
I always tell Maria that I can help her myself but she likes helping her get ready for bed
I then gently pick up Zara trying not to wake her as I take her to her room
I gently lay her down in bed
I look down at her clothes which are sweatpants and a t-shirt, and I decide it's the smart move to not change her or anything of that sort
I gently lay a kiss on her forehead and quietly close the door
And go say goodnight to Mia
"Goodnight sweetheart," I say as I enter her room
"Goodnight Daddy" she softly says already falling asleep
"So I heard you tell Zara you love her, " I say smiling down at her
"Ya is that okay daddy?" She asks me
"of course it is sweetie " I smile down at her
"Goodnight, I love you" I kiss the top of her head
"Goodnight daddy, I love you" she kisses my cheek
