**Aleah's POV**

"Alright, Ali," Tony huffed out, giving me chills on my neck as my new nickname passed through his lips, "Here's the last of your shit." He said as he winked at me and dropped my large duffle bag on his bed.

"You really don't have to sleep on the couch... I mean, this is your place, and I'm only paying a bit of the rent, and-" My partially-coherent rambling was abruptly interrupted by Tony slamming into me, pulling me into a tight, loving embrace.

"Will you just shut up and unpack your damn shit?" He joked. Why is he being so nice to me? Does he like me? What could he possibly see in- I wasn't going to let my cruel thoughts ruin this perfect moment, wrapped up in Tony's arms.

"Thanks, Tone. This really does mean a lot to me." I said as I pulled out of his embrace to look into his beautiful brown eyes. "It's crazy to think that we actually just met this morning."

"I feel like I've known you forever..." He said, letting go of me and taking a step back. "I feel like I-" I didn't let him finish. I couldn't resist... I slammed my lips against his – hard – and caused him to trip backwards and land face-up on the bed, and myself to fall on top of him, as his arms had already laced themselves around my back. Before we could even react to the fact that we had just fallen, my hands had tangled themselves in his perfect, long hair, and his lips made their way onto my neck.

"Tony..." I moaned slightly, causing him to move his lips faster against my skin, where they eventually found their way back to my lips. My eyes shot open in shock as he bit slightly at my neck, and by chance caught sight of the clock near his bed, and saw that it was flashing 8:00 PM. "Oh shit! Tone, you're supposed to be at work in ten minutes!"

"Fuck..." He sighed into my hair. I quickly got up to allow him to get ready. As he ran a brush through his hair and searched frantically through his closet for a jacket, I realized exactly what had just happened.

"Tony, I'm so so sorry, I just... I couldn't help it..." As I began to trail off, he turned around and looked at me with a beautifully tender expression I wouldn't have guessed could survive on the face that just moments before had been so heated and lustful.

"Don't you ever be sorry for that, my dear. I'm just sad it had to end." We were obviously nothing official, but the way he gave me these names like "dear" and "darling" made me want to do nothing but stay curled in him arms forever. "I have to go now, I'm being trained on taking after-shift stock tonight, so I think I'll be back around 10. You don't have to wait up or anything, I just didn't want you to be scared if you heard the door." This boy is fucking perfect. He hadn't done anything in particular to trigger the thought, it was just everything about him that was utterly flawless.

**Tony's POV**

As soon as I got outside and hit with the rush of cool night air, the consequences of what I'd just done hit me even harder. I'd never be able to ease my way into a comfortable relationship with Aleah... We'd either end up full-on in love, or we'd hook-up, then it would crash and burn. I don't think I could handle losing her. She's just so amazing.
