Dylan couldn’t be bothered with Niki anymore, so she just ignored her comment about texting her later and smiled at Alex after the kiss ended. Her eyebrow quirked as the brunette walked over to her ex and she looked on confused until she saw her take the woman’s phone and drop it into a jug of iced tea. The blonde’s eyes widened for a moment and then she began to laugh a little while shaking her head in surprise. Once Alex moved back towards her, she moved to wrap her arms around her, pulling her in for a hug. “My hero…” she whispered softly as she turned and kissed her cheek and as if she read her girl’s mind, she looked towards the door. “Shall we get out of here?”

Just before she left the cafe annoyed, she was approached by Alex and it caused her to quirk a brow in confusion as well, her eyes shifted downwards as the woman took her phone and before she could react it was being dropped into an ice tea and her mouth dropped open. “Excuse me!?” She quickly spoke out angrily as she looked to Dylan and huffed as she saw her laughing, without saying anything else, that was when she left.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

"My Angel.." The words were barely audible as she whispered them into her girlfriend after the hero comment. Alessandra tried not to smirk as the red head got angry about her phone.

I hope you have her number memorized, Sweetheart.

Nodding, she lead the way out of the cafe and to her car, getting in it and suddenly feeling a pit of guilt in her stomach. She was never usually so mean to someone. But that wasn't the entire thing. The red head was beautiful...and Alex was..well, plain. She couldn't even bring herself to start her van as she tried taking a couple deep breaths.

Dylan instantly glared at Niki once she asked her girlfriend if she could speak and then if she could hear, but what infuriated her the most was when she turned her attention to her – only a split second after asking Alex – to ask her that same question. “Yes, of course she can hear perfectly fine, you inconsiderate bitch,” she breathed out rudely still getting annoyed by the minute. “Honestly just go back to your boy toys or girls or whoever the fuck you needed to screw while we weren’t in the same country, I’m done!” She finally said, knowing that Alex would basically get an idea of what had happened. Her eyes darted from Alex to Niki and quickly back to Alex as she noticed her girlfriend begin to move and then suddenly she was pulled into a kiss and she smiled against the girl’s lips as she moved both hands to the her hips while kissing her back. Hopefully this would make Niki get the hint and leave.

Niki took in a breath as she shifted on her spot as Dylan spoke harshly to her. “Look, I’m sorry, I just didn’t know if she could hear,” she replied, truth was, she was only being nice to try and win Dylan back. Blinking her eyes, her mouth dropped open slightly at what her ex then said and she shook her head. “Dylan, I was stupid, they didn’t mean anythin-” she stopped mid sentence when she saw Alex turn and kiss the blonde and jealously coursed throughout her body, her eyes widening as she gasped a little at the finger that she was receiving. Pursing her lips, she huffed and rolled her eyes. “Whatever, I will text you later, Dylan,” she finally said as she turned on her heels and headed out of the cafe.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

The red head cheated on her. On Dylan. Who could ever do something like that? She was an Angel on earth. Anger boiled up inside her and she opened her mouth to instinctivey say something - but nothing came out. It was times like these Alex wanted to cry; or reach for her happy pills. When the kiss ended, she smiled up at Dylan, kissing her cheek before turning to the red head with a casual shrug. She didn't like how Niki said she'd text Dylan later, though, and quickly appraoched the red head with a smile as she gently took her phone from her and 'accidentally' dropped it into a jug of iced tea that was passin by with a waitress. Anyone who witnessed the whole scene just clapped, which made Alex blush and retreat to the safety of her girlfriend, looking up at her with an embarrassed look.

Can we go now?..

[dylan-beaumont]

Dylan looked to Alex and smiled softly at her, hoping so much that her ex would just leave, but that was no luck because the girl was still there and she closed her eyes, shaking her head a little. “That is what I said didn’t I?” she spoke a little harshly as she pulled the brunette a little closer. “This is my girlfriend,” she spoke to Niki and sighed again that she still wasn’t leaving, her eyes moved to the necklace that she had given her and grinned at the fact she was still wearing it, her own free hand moving up to the necklace that Alex had given her..

“Okay, calm down a little I was just a little surprised,” she spoke softly as she darted her gaze between the two. Raising her eyebrows, she looked at the woman who was yet to introduce herself and then knitted her eyebrows in a confused manner that she hadn’t spoken yet. “Do you speak? Can you hear?” she asked her and then looked back to Dylan. “Can she hear?” She asked Dylan and then looked down to her hand that had her car keys and her name. “I will take that as a no on the speaking part…” she looked weirdly up at her. “But, hello, Alex, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Alessandra's eyes went down to the necklace Dylan was still wearing and smiled - it was a reminder that Dylan was hers now. After all, only someone who really liked her would wear an inexpensive necklace and stand by her side when there was a red headed Barbie across from them.

She is right here. And she can hear perfectly fine.

The Italian just wanted to go on that date she had secretly planned, but there was someone Dylan obviously didn't want around stopping that. Her mind went back to how upset the blonde had been ages ago when her phone kept going off - was this the one that upset her. Holding her chin up high, she turned her back to the red head and pulled Dylan in for a slow, passionate kiss; and slipped her left hand from between them and gave the red head the middle finger as she kissed Dylan.

[dylan-beaumont]

[dylan-beaumont]

As Alex leaned into her, Dylan leaned to kiss her forehead and wrapped an arm around her. Rolling her eyes when Niki said the last thing, hinting the jealously but not giving a damn. “Yeah, I think I would know my own girlfriend,” she sighed as she looked over to the other woman and gave her an annoyed look. “We are done here, Niki. You can go now.”

Niki’s eyes widened at the mention of girlfriend and she stopped looking at the blonde and looked towards the brunette and then back to Dylan. “You have a new girlfriend?” She asked surprised, still not taking the hint to leave, she looked back to the other. “Well, sorry. Hi, I am Niki.” She spoke politely to her.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Alessandra felt as if Dylan knew what she was thinking and feeling in the way of being insecure about herself - about their relationship. Because the blonde showed her affection in an innocent forehead kiss and an arm wrapped around her. Except then the red head had to go and introduce herself, which made Alice think of a popular sayng.

Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer. Right?

Giving a friendly smile and nod a hand came up to her necklace, charm bracelet jingling - but she forgot it didn't say her name anymore, because she wore the Tinkerbell necklace Dylan gave her. Reluctantly, she released the advil bottle in her bag and grabbed her car keys, pulling them out and finding the 'Alex' there to show the other. But the entire time, she leaned into Dylan.

I may not be as pretty as you, or anywhere near Dylan's league...but she's mine now; my Angel. She's mine.

Her eyes read her thought as best she could, but eye contact was still difficult because of the ex's intimidation factor.

[dylan-beaumont]

[dylan-beaumont]

Running her hands through her hair, she sighed and shook her head as she turned back to the red head for a brief moment to answer her. “Niki, I swear to god, I do not want to have this conversation with you again. Go away,” she let out slightly annoyed. Turning her attention to Alex, she frowned at the look the woman had on her face and got up from her seat to walk over to her. “Hey, Beautiful,” she smiled as she completely ignored her ex.

“You’re not even going to pay attention to the fact that I am trying to apologize to you?” Niki let out as she shook her head. “Come on, Dee, just hear me out, ple-” she trailed off again as she watched the blonde get up and move towards the woman that stopped beside her and her eyes widened a little. “Wait, you know her?” She asked, finally registering the fact Dylan had been speaking to her.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

As Dylan got up to walk directly to her, she felt a bit better, but was confused as to why the blonde was walking towards her and not the beautiful woman next to her. It was obvious the red head was into her beautiful blonde angel, so..why was she being chosen? Desperately, Alex wanted to take another pill, and her hand even reached into her bag to grasp the advil bottle they were concealed in. At the same time, she subconsciously leaned into her girlfriend, trying to keep a polite smile to the other. And although the smile was polite, it was obvious the brunette was intimidated by the other. After all, her and Dylan were so new - and these two obviously had history, and..well, the red head was beautiful.

[dylan-beaumont]

Moving Forward

[dylan-beaumont]

The blonde rolled her eyes as her ex spoke and she shook her head. “There is a perfect reason as to why I have been ignoring your texts and calls,” she huffed as she crossed her arms against her chest as she leaned back in her chair. “I don’t want to talk to you,” she sighed as she closed her eyes for a moment, opening them again, she looked from Niki to the figure that came to a stop next to her and she couldn’t help the smile that took over her face. “Hi, Princess,” she let out, putting all of her attention on Alex.

“Dylan…” Niki let out slowly as she tilted her head and sighed herself. “What exactly are those rea-” she stopped herself as she turned to the person that had stopped beside her and raised a confused eyebrow. “Oh, hello?” She spoke to the woman as she turned back to the blonde and raised her eyebrows curiously. “No, but seriously, what’s your reasons? Why don’t you want to talk? I am trying to apologize for being such an idiot! I miss you…” She continued completely ignoring the fact Alex was there or the fact that Dylan had spoken to the other woman.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Alessandra finally smiled and blushed when Dylan - her girlfriend - used her pet name. Of course, the smile faded as the other kept talking, and instinctively, Alex took a step back, like she was taking second place to the red head. When she was barely adressed with a simple 'hello,' she gave a small nod and polite smile, though her vision was cast downwards as she waited for whatever was going to happen..to happen.

Dylan had made plans to meet up with Alex at the tiny cafe near the campus, after getting reading, she made her way over and entered, looking around for her girlfriend, but seemed to have gotten there a couple minutes early. So, she decided to head to the back of the place and sit at one of the tables. About a minute went by and she heard a slight cough from beside her, quickly turning her gaze up, the smile on her face faded and she sighed. “What do you want Niki?”

Niki had already been in the cafe when she noticed Dylan walk in, a smile crossed her features as she watched her move to the back of the store, she contemplated if she should go over to her, but she had been not returning her texts, so, she decided to go with it. Getting up, she made her way to the table and coughed slightly. “You’ve been ignoring my texts and calls, how else am I meant to talk to you?”

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Alessandra had been running a little late - she had planned a very special date for the two of them, but it was a secret. Plus, it wasn't like she could just outright say it. Over the past couple weeks since that fairytale perfect date, Alessandra had gotten even more addicted to ectasy; dependant on it, even. It was to the point where she had to plan to not be on it when she was around Dylan. Getting into the coffee shop, she went to talk over to her when she saw the red head talking to her. And god, that red head was beautiful. Still no contest to Dylan, but she by far surpassed her own mediocre looks. She had let them talk a bit, but she sensed tension, and she really did want to be near Dylan..because her scent and presence helped curve the craving for another pill. Naturally, she said nothing as she walked up beside the red head and smiled weakly at the blonde, feeling like that ugly friend in the group.

[dylan-beaumont]

“Then I am yours, Alex,” Dylan repeated her words with a smile as she nodded her head slowly, a faint blush crept across her cheeks as she lowered her gaze to the balloons for a split second as she looked back to her. Scrunching her face up a little as her nose was kissed, she bit her lip and stared at her for a moment, unable to say anything for the time being. Moving closer, she hugged her and then pulled back grabbing her hand as she spun her around before pulling her back in close to her, swaying to the music once more. “Best. Date. Ever…”

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Alex very obviously melted as Dylan said her name in that soultry sweet accent of hers. Nodding, she attached herself to the blonde again, very softly repeating the words. "Best date ever.." It was her only date ever, but she knew this was probably the best date anyone has ever gone on, really. The young Italian hadn't a clue how long they danced for, but her feet began to ache at one point and next thing she knew, it was late. The date would be over soon. Well, maybe. There was nothing Alessandra wanted more than to fall asleep and wake up to the comfort of her angel beside her tonight. Plus, she wanted to set the tone that she wasn't huge with sex. Okay, so she was terrified of it and had panic attacks, but all Dylan needed to understand was she wanted to take things slow. And hopefully, bringing her to her room, to just cuddle all night, would send out that message.

[dylan-beaumont]

Faith, Trust and a little bit of Pixie Dust || Alex & Dylan

[dylan-beaumont]

Dylan without hesitation parted her lips when Alex asked for permission, her breath hitching in her throat before an ever so soft moan pulled from the back of her throat once her lip was nipped. Breathing a little heavily, she smiled and then bit her own lower lip to bite back to massive grin as their foreheads touched. Pulling back her gaze lowered to Alessandra’s hand and she chuckled lightly. “That is really cute,” she spoke about the small heart candy and then look to the sticky note. After reading it, she quickly looked back up to Alex. “I will as long as you’ll be my Princess,” she whispered.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

An airy moan left Alessandra's lips in response to the one Dylan had given. "I-I'm yours, Dylan.." She had repeated that phrase in her head four times in Italian before she spoke it out loud, bluhing at her own statement, and from Dylan's words. Her father always told her to never date a boy who didn't treat her like a Princess. She knew her parents would be supportive of her interest in girls, and her father's words would of simply changed where the pronouns had been, to better fit.

Well, Daddy..I think she's even better than you could of imagined. Your baby girl is finally someone's princess. I just wish you could meet her. You'd like her so much..

As her thoughts wandered, she had looked up to the sky..well, ceiling. Finally, she looked back to her angel; her girlfriend? Well, her Dylan, in any case. And as she grinned, she kissed the blonde's nose.

[dylan-beaumont]

Faith, Trust and a little bit of Pixie Dust || Alex & Dylan

[dylan-beaumont]

Dylan knew that Alex was probably blushing at her comment and it made her heart flutter. She felt the slight shake of her head and wasn’t sure if it was a response, but she took it as one anyway and slowly pulled back to look at her. “I mean it,” she whispered again as she smiled softly at her and stared for a second before leaning in and capturing Alex’s lips in a slow passionate kiss, that basically would have told Alex that she was willing to be all hers, if she wanted her. 

“I really like you…”

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Alessandra was caught off guard by the words and the kiss, but she eagerly returned it with just as much passion, eventually going as far as swiping her tongue along Dylan's lower lip, as if to ask permission to enter; to tease her tongue with her own. She wanted Dylan right back. When she finally pulled away gently, with a soft nip of the other woman's lower lip, she was breathless and rested her forehead onto the others. And at the declaration of affection towards her, Alice's lips parted slightly as her heart lept into her chest, crying out the same words asshe gasped in a sharp inhale. Instead, she reached into the small pocket in her jacket over her dress and pulled out a small heart candy. The words it read were, 'BE MINE?'

It was accompanied with a small heart shaped sticky note. Neatly scribbled on it were three simple words; 'Be my Angel?' Because Alessandra..really liked Dylan, too.

[dylan-beaumont]

The blonde smiled a little bigger as she noticed the Italian blush and nodded in agreement to dancing. Getting up, she helped her date up and guided her off the blanket and into the sea of balloons that surrounded them. Her heart began to beat in her own chest as Alex moved closer and a blush tinted her cheeks when her nose was kissed. As they danced, Dylan tilted her head to the side a little with a soft smile, just staring at her in silence, taking a silent breath in, she slowly let it out as she tried to calm down a little. After a moment, she took a step closer to her and moved her arms around her completely as she held their bodies together. “Just know… you’re absolutely beautiful…” she spoke quietly into Alex’s ear as she closed her eyes and swayed to the music. “And I mean it.”

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

As Dylan pulled them closer together, Alessadra did the same in wrapping arms around the blonde's neck to hold herself as close as she comfortably could to her date. And she had a feeling the other didn't even need to see her face to know she was blushing from that compliment; the light shake of her head meant more for herself than in answer to the statement.

I'm hardly special. But you..you're an angel. I want you to be my angel..

[dylan-beaumont]

Faith, Trust and a little bit of Pixie Dust || Alex & Dylan

[dylan-beaumont]

Dylan was a little confused at what Alex whispered out, but she wasn’t going to question it as she felt the woman lean back against her and she moved to wrap her arms around her. The same smile that had been on her face ever since this date started reappeared as she closed her eyes for a moment, just enjoying the closeness of the other. Opening her eyes, she saw her grab the ice cream to eat some before she got some more and offered to her in which she ate. “Mmm, yum…” she hummed as she payed attention to the music and grinned, getting an idea. “Alex…” she whispered softly as she craned her neck to look at her. “Can I have this dance?” 

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

"Hmm?" It was an odd automatic response when Dylan said her name, but it cam out just the same. Dylan just..made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Biting her ower lip to try and hold back a blush and failing, she nodded with a wide grin.

I'd love nothing more..

Standing up with her, Alessandra suddenly became very nervous as she stepped up to Dylan, heart pounding so hard in her chest, it rocked her stomach and could be felt in her throat. Timidly, arms came up to wrap around the woman's neck, stepping in close. And stepping on tip toe, she kissed the blonde's nose before resting her head on Dylan's chest, starting to dance.

[dylan-beaumont]

Dylan’s eyes lowered to the jingle of Alex’s bracelet as she reached for the pouch and then they raised back up to the Italian’s face as she watched her carefully. Her lower lip was brought between her teeth as she nibbled on it nervously, unsure how the younger woman would react. Her nerves only grew the more Alex was silent and when she raised her gaze to hers, Dylan smiled warmly at her. The blonde didn’t have much time to worry about the pouch being put down because she was soon being kissed by Alex that conveyed everything she was feeling and Dylan couldn’t help but kiss her back just the same. 

The kiss ended and the Australian tilted her head as she watched her move her hair over one shoulder, she was a little confused at what she was doing, until she turned around and held the necklace out for her. ‘Ah,” Dylan let out in recognition as she took it from her and placed it around her neck. “I’m glad you like it,” she whispered as she leaned forward slightly.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

"È bello.." Alessandra breathed out silently as she looked down, gently holding the necklace in hand, admiring it. Italian was her comfort language, oddly enough, and she could speak a lot more fluently in it than in English. As her date leaned forward, she leaned back, completely snuggling up to the blonde as she tilted her head back to smile at the most beautiful woman she had ever come to lay eyes on. Reaching forward, she grabbed the ice cream and a spoon, taking some in her mouth and humming in appreciation. Taking another spoonful, she held it up for her date to take, still snuggling close to her. Being close to Dylan was like being on the drug - her scent and warmth just made everything better. The Aussie's embrace was addicting and Alessandra quickly found herself needing to fit in her arms more often.

[dylan-beaumont]

Smiling at her, Dylan turned to the picnic basket where she put the little gift pouch. Reaching into it, she took it out and turned back to Alex while taking in a deep breath, she slowly let it out as she ran a hand through her hair. “I am probably going to embarrass myself because you most likely have this or something similar, anyway, I… uh… I bought this for you,” she rambled out as she held out the pouch for her to take.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Alessandra's bells rang as she reached for the pouch, and when she opened it, that same ringing hand clamped over her mouth as she stared at its contents. All she could do was just that for an undisclosed amount of time.

She's the one..

Alice looked into Dylan's eyes.

You're the one, Angel..and I'm not even good enough for you..

She set the pouch down to lean in and kiss Dylan with everything she was feeing right now - she wasn't letting her go. She knew this already. Dylan was just..she was the girl to be with. As a kid, you're told to pick the biggest kid on the playground and become friends with them, especially if you're tiny. This was like that, only Dylan was the brightest and most beautiful woman on the playground. The one the boys chased and lined up for. And this extraordinary being chose her..it was mind boggling, and Alice didn't quite understand it.

Moving her hair over one shoulder, she turned her back to Dylan as she looked over her other shoulder, holding up the necklace for the blonde to take and put on her. She promptly removed the 'Alex' necklace and put it in the pouch and then her bag - she wanted this necklace. It put the one she gave Dylan to great shame.

[dylan-beaumont]

Setting the ice cream down on the blanket in front of them, Dylan smiled as her cheek was kissed and she tilted her head a little as the girl rested her forehead on her temple. Chuckling lightly, the blonde shook her head a little as best she could. “I think I should be asking you that question,” she whispered softly in response, because technically to Dylan, Alex was a Princess to her – well, Cinderella in this case.  Staying silent for a moment, the Aussie then coughed slightly. “I… I have one more thing for you…” she spoke quietly as she pulled back a little to look at her.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Blushing, the Italian bit her lower lip as her head lowered some, giving a small shake of her head before looking back up - she was definitely no princess. She didn't feel like it, anyways. Her head then tilted to the side a little as she gave Dylan a curious look. After all, what more could she have? This was perfect. It was a date right out of a Hallmark movie.

[dylan-beaumont]

Faith, Trust and a little bit of Pixie Dust || Alex & Dylan

[dylan-beaumont]

As Alex spoke, Dylan smiled warmly and nodded her head slowly in understanding. She enjoyed when Alex spoke, no matter how soft her voice was – she liked it because it was her voice, not some voice that was brought out because of a drug she had taken, but most importantly, she just liked Alex for her and she’d make sure the girl always knew that. When she pulled away, Dylan smiled at her as her cheeks tinted red, she was seriously glad that the younger woman liked what she had planned, more than she ever imagined. She moved to the picnic blanket, sat down and began opening all the food that she had ordered, looking over to Alex when it was. “Not sure what you liked, so got a bit of everything?” She chuckled a little nervously. Once served up, she began eating it as well, looking over to the other every now and then, glad she seemed to be liking the food and she silently sighed in relief once more, she also sent a text to her another friend asking if they could pick up the ice cream, so it’d be there by the time they finished dinner. “That was so good…” Dylan let out instantly as she finished eating and grinned as Alex leaned against her.

After a couple of minutes just sitting there relaxing, her phone buzzed and she quickly looked at it, reading half the message that popped up, not needing to actually open it. Turning to Alex, she smiled. “I have a couple more surprises, one is outside which I need to go retrieve, I shall be back in two seconds,” she spoke softly as she kissed the side of the girl’s head and got up to dash out of the hall. “I seriously owe you big time,” she smiled to her friend while she laughed and agreed with what she said, but also that she was happy to help. Dylan returned not long after with the ice cream and she couldn’t wipe the smile off her face. “I got your favourite,” she let out as she made her way back to the blanket and sat down, showing her the strawberry ice cream.

[alessandra-moretti-blog]

Smiling at Dylan, she popped another mouthful in her mouth - she wasn't a picky eater, and had no allergies, so she pretty much ate anything; at least once. Kissing the other woman's cheek, she also tucked blonde hair behind her ear, just looking at the other with admiration. She couldn't believe that the woman before was interested in her - it was astonishing, really. She wasn't anyone special by any means, and wasn't overly pretty, either. But Dylan? Dylan practically glowed with a beautiful, golden aura.

When the Aussie's phone went off, at first Alessandra assumed it was because Dylan wasn't enjoying herself. Her thoughts were corrected, however, when she said she was getting something else, and assumed that that was what the text was about. Whwn her date returned with the ice cream, Alex blushed as Dylan recalled her favourite, reaching up for a soft hand to pull her down beside her. Everything was..well, it was a fairytale. Planting a soft kiss on Dylan's cheek, Alessandra rested her forehead on the side of the blonde's temple. "You..don't have to leave at midnight, right?" She was hoping that those words said everything she was trying to convey.
