Morning

Isabellas Pov

Yesterday was amazing this morning I wake up and walk around outside the snow was gone and water had took its place . I walk over to my house and call the tree guy who was gonna come over and cut up this tree. By tomorrow I should be home and id be leaving Blake so tonight I wanted to make it up to him but first thing is I have to get rid of this tree the phone rings and l Marcos tree service answers “yes hello my name is Isabella Lopez and I need to get rid of a tree on my front porch”. “ I’m sorry ma’am we’re busy until next week there was a lot of storm damage”. The conversation continues and I eventually hang up not getting anywhere. Blake walks out of the house in just his sweat pants and walks over to me.

Blake’s Pov

She’s crying and all I can do is comfort her “ what’s wrong sweetie?”. I ask “they won’t come move the tree” she cries and I smiled “i can fix that” I tell her I walk over to my house and call my friends and oldest brother in an hour 15 people show up and we get the tree cut apart and then David has rented a giant wood chipper so we use it to dispose of the tree once the tree is gone I asses the damage of the porch and all she needs is the flooring redone to get back into her house so I grab some wood and start helping them redo the porch. Once we’re done I walk over to my house and get Isabella i grab her hand and walk her down the steps to her house and when we stop the biggest grin is on her face “thank you Blake

Isabella POV

The morning sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground as I stepped outside. My heart swelled with relief when I saw the porch, no longer burdened by the weight of that fallen tree. The air still held a faint scent of sawdust, and the porch, now cleared and mended, looked as though nothing had happened. It was like a weight had been lifted, not just from the porch, but from me too.

Blake stood nearby, wiping sweat from his brow with the back of his hand, his shirt slightly smeared with dirt. His eyes met mine, and he gave me that lopsided grin of his, the one that always managed to make my heart skip a beat.

“All done,” he said simply, as if removing a massive tree and fixing a porch was no big deal.

I couldn’t hold back the wave of gratitude and affection that rushed over me. Before I even realized what I was doing, I crossed the distance between us in a few quick strides. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him close, feeling the warmth of his body against mine. The steady thud of his heartbeat was the most comforting sound.

“Thank you, Blake,” I whispered against his chest, my voice thick with emotion. “You didn’t have to do all this, but you did. I don’t even know how to thank you enough.”

He chuckled softly, the sound reverberating through his chest. “You don’t have to thank me, Isabella. I just wanted to help.”

I pulled back just enough to look up at him, his face so close to mine. My heart raced as I leaned in, brushing my lips softly against his. The kiss was tender, filled with all the unspoken words of appreciation and care I couldn’t find. His hand came up to cradle my cheek, and for a moment, everything else fell away—no fallen trees, no damaged porch, just the two of us in this perfect moment.

When we finally pulled apart, I rested my forehead against his, feeling the warmth of his breath on my skin. “You’re amazing,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper.

Blake smiled, his eyes softening as he looked at me. “I’d do it all over again for you, Isabella.”

Seeing the smile on her face is everything and at this moment In my life my heart skips a beat. She pushes me down on the couch but that’s not enough for me I pull her underneath me she looked up at me and leaned up and kissed me “thank you Blake for everything”.

I lean down and kiss her again our mouths moving together. When I hear words I never thought I’d hear come out of her mouth “ Blake f**k Me”
