Little did he know that she loves him for years.
Little did he know he started falling for her deep down in his heart.
The past from both of their lives resurfaces. Their relationship is tested at all costs. A lot of love, betrayal, hardships, and kisses...
MIREYA'S P.O.V:"I'm so nervous bel." I nervously jogged my legs."I know. It's important to Alex. It was his dream to win the Championship.""I hope everything goes well." Sweats glistened in my face as I rubbed them off. While Bella too sat there nervously. His parents too sat along with us with a tensed expression.The National Championship game was a way bigger deal for them. There were cameras everywhere. People shouting their commands over the mic. Several assistants walked around with headsets and black blazers making sure everything ran smoothly. I was sitting with Isabella who is also anxious about her brother's match."Alright, folks! We have quite the game coming your way soon!" The announcer shouted over the mic. He kept on rambling about the opponent team's victory. I rubbed my palms on my jeans to dry my sweat off.
ALEX'S P.O.V:Mireya.That's a different and unique name.I'd never noticed her until the small stunt or ruckus she pulled out in the cafeteria yesterday. But her amethyst eyes felt that I knew her somewhere and I couldn't point it out.Yesterday,As usual, I and jocks, to be precise they are my family are heading towards the cafeteria for our lunch. Today was a pretty boring day for us since we attended all the classes without fail. It was my senior year and I want to finish it without any bad impression. Even though I have been joking around all these years, I do want to finish my senior year without trouble.When we entered the
MIREYA'S P.O.V:Breathe in, Breathe out.What the heck is happening around me!I was going to school like it was a normal day, but things have turned out to be different. Alexander was there in the cafeteria. I never expected him to show up this soon. He talked with me. He and his popular crew always come to the cafeteria later, but they came soon yesterday. Isabella didn't say anything about this which means she handled the situation by herself and I'm glad she did it.Holy molly! Alexander made a conversation with me.I was in a full happy mood while I worked in the cafe. My co-worker Amy asked me what's got me so happy, but I was just laughing at her. I know that I'm being foolish for laughing without any reason. But Alex had a little chat with me soared my mood up to the clouds. Even though I was a bit rude to him, he smoothly brushed it off.I tried so hard not to blush and to be obvious that I'm att
ALEXANDER'S P.O.V:The guys and I were warming up for the match. It's been only four days since Mireya stepped into our life, she already won everyone's heart. She doesn't smile often just a bit of her lips lifting upwards or she will let out a breathy laugh. I never heard her full blow laugh till now. I'm kidding right. I was just like known her for only four days and I'm thinking of hearing her laugh. When did Alex care about it? It was new for me too. She became important to us as she has been with Isabella not leaving her side.Lie to yourself, Alex. My inner sense mocked me.Her answers were cut short and she is having a hard time accepting us as her friends. Already Ethan likes her like his little sister because of her height. Carter would always tease her just to rile her up and make her cuss at him. Adam would just make conversation here and there. Ryan is her best friend and me being the cockier person
MIREYA'S P.O.V:I was hurt, but the effort Alex took made me forget his mistake. He was so persistent in making me forgive him. I was annoyed, but looking at his cute pouty face made me change my decision. At the night yesterday, Adrian showed up suddenly in the cafe. I thought he was going for the audition for a month but he returned sooner as they would call them once he got selected. The results will be out in a month or sooner and Adrian was nervous about it. He will get selected and I know it. That night I wanted to give an intro to Alex about Adrian, but I never thought he would think of him as my boyfriend. First Kayden, now Adrian. It's pretty tough for the people since I and Adrian are not alike.Adrian knows Alex well and I don't know he talked with him or something. Adrian came home late after Alex lashed at me. Everyone interacted with Adrian so well and they all patched up quickly as you all know how boys talk. Ryan dropped m
ALEXANDER'S P.O.V: I'm such a fucking pussy! I can't even hold my hands without touching her. The way she mingled with my family by being herself was fucking good. Raymond adored her because he was so excited to have her home and she is Isabella's best friend for years. My mom and dad loved her and treated her like another kid of the house. Adam is such a soft guy and it is obvious to say that he likes her. Here I'm being and going crazy because of her. When I saw her fucking amethyst eyes I lost my sanity. I like it when she laughed when I teased her. I fucking love her laugh. She was easing to us now and feels comfortable, but she is still a bit distant and I could sense it. I was lucky she had me as a partner for her project. Mom was asking something about her health and she looked nervous when I noticed their conversation. I hope she is
MIREYA'S P.O.V: I didn't know what happened to him that instant. He acted so weirdly and disappointed and he left the house in instant. We were playing the game nicely but after that question, he left the house as he was afraid to hear something further. He left just like that. And he still hasn't talked to me. Does he want me to tell him that I will date him? I thought for a moment that's why he got disappointed. I shook my head out of these stupid and ridiculous thoughts of Alex thinking of me to date him. In the meantime, Adam and I grew closer together and I accompanied them to their detentions and it's my way of thanking them. Alex ignored me during detentions too so Adam was the only one to accompany me so we became pretty close with each other during that time. Alex was ignoring me for a few days and today is the day we are going on a trip. I was so mad at him. How can I tell him that I already love him to date him? I was afraid to answe
ALEXANDER P.O.V: "I can't walk an inch after this." She groaned closing her eyes lying on the ground without any care like a cute fluffy panda. She became the little girl in our group just like Isabella not as a sister but as a good friend. I was being a jerk to her for the past few days. I just got disappointed after all and I took it out on her ignoring her. I would always feel her stare at me hoping that I would talk with her. I wanted to talk with her, but something in me stopped, and that was my ego. She hurt my ego. No girl rejected me, but she was the first one to do it. Adam and she bonded pretty much while I ignored her and Adam started treating her as his best friend and I'm happy that he did. He always flirts with girls or sleeps with them, but she accepted her as a friend was surprising to me after what happened to him. I was glad he was getting along. I just wanted to talk with her and the urge increased day by day.
ALEX'S POV:After five years,Verse 1 (Alex): I see your face in every dream, A love so pure, it makes me scream, The echoes of your laughter fade, In memories, your light will never shade.Pre-Chorus (Adam): You were my hope, my guiding star, Now I'm left with these scars, In every shadow, I see your grace, But I can't hold you, can't erase.Chorus (Both): Forever in our hearts, you stay, A love that time can't take away, You're the song we sing, In every tear, in everything.Verse 2 (Alex): Your touch, your smile, your gentle ways, They haunt my nights, they fill my days, In every breath, I feel your loss, A life without you is such a heavy cost.Pre-Chorus (Adam): You gave us strength, you gave us love, An angel sent from up above, Now the skies have called you home, But in our hearts, you're not alone.Chorus (Both): Forever in our hearts, you stay, A love that time can't take away, You're the song we sing, In every tear, in everything.Bridge (Alex): I clos
ALEX'S POV:"Alex," Adrian's voice cut through the fog of my grief, gentle but insistent. "You need to eat something. You need to take care of yourself."I shook my head, not looking up. "I can't," I whispered. "I can't do anything without her."He sat beside me, his hand on my shoulder, his own grief evident in his eyes. "I know," he said softly. "But Mireya wouldn't want you to waste away. She would want you to live, to find a way to go on."I knew he was right, but the thought of living without her was unbearable. How could I go on when the love of my life was gone? How could I face each day knowing she wouldn't be there to share it with me? It's been a week, but I can't still move on or do anything without her beside me. "Just try," Adrian urged, his voice breaking. "For her. For all the love you shared."I nodded, though I didn't know if I could. But I owed it to Mireya to try, to find a way to honor her memory, even if it felt impossible."You know, the human brain relives for s
ALEXANDER'S POV:I wiped the blackish blood from my hands as I stared at the emergency room in the hospital. She has been in there for almost three hours and I refuse to do anything. My mind was in a whirlwind, filled with images of her in pain, her beautiful white wedding gown stained with black colored blood. I refused to leave, refused to do anything but wait for some news, any news. The thought of losing her was unbearable. Every minute stretched into an eternity, and I could feel my heart breaking with each passing second.I had never felt so helpless in my life. The pain in her eyes, her anguished screams—those images haunted me as I waited for any news from the doctors.Family and friends were gathered around, their faces etched with worry and sorrow. My parents were trying to console Mireya's mother, who looked like she had aged a decade in just a few hours. Adrian was sitting with his head in his hands, tears streaming down his face. Finally, after what felt like an eternity,
MIREYA'S POV:Finally, it's my wedding day...I stood in front of the mirror, hardly believing that the reflection staring back at me was really me. My wedding gown was everything I had ever dreamed of – a delicate blend of elegance and simplicity, with intricate lace details that cascaded down to the floor. The dress hugged my figure perfectly, accentuating my curves... well, not curves, just bones, and still, it made me feel like a princess. The dress was everything I had ever dreamed of and more.Everything was ready and prepared because of all of them. They have been surprisingly planning a Wedding for Alex and me. They hid the fact that they had been preparing for this a couple of months ago. I was so dumb to realize it. I was so immersed in taking videos for each family member. I want to leave them only the happiest memories even if I'm gone someday. I want them to remember me only in their best and happiest memories. I don't want them to remember the sadness or the moment they
ALEXANDER'S POV:"I wouldn't mind, you know... Should we make that a reality?" I kissed the corner of her mouth as she snuck in a sharp breath. When it comes to Mireya, I mean every word I say. She's the only girl for me, the one I truly need in my life, every word I speak about her comes from the heart. Mireya is the one who completes me, and I can't imagine my life without her. She's my everything. In a world full of choices, Mireya is the one I choose, today and always."Alex," she whispered, her voice trembling. She opened her mouth to say something, but I could tell she couldn't bring herself to speak. I had to tell her how I felt, and there was no better time or place than right here, surrounded by the children whose lives she was about to change."Because I mean it, when it comes to you, I say and mean only the truth because Mireya, you are the only girl for me, the only one I need in my life."The children, sensing something special was happening, gathered around us, their eyes
MIREYA'S POV:I woke up with Alex's arm around me and yesterday was incredible with him always. We danced, we sang, and we had sex, it may sound cringe, but we made love. Fuck, Alex is my man. I can't believe we became a single soul again. I turned slightly to look at him, his peaceful face relaxed in sleep. His dark hair fell over his forehead, and his lips were slightly parted. Even in sleep, he was the most handsome man I had ever seen. My heart swelled with love for him. I gently brushed a strand of hair from his face, trying not to wake him.But Alex, ever the light sleeper, stirred and opened his eyes. He smiled that lazy, sexy smile that never failed to make my heart skip a beat. "Morning, Kuschelbar," he murmured, his voice deep and husky from sleep."Good morning," I replied softly, leaning in to kiss him. His lips were warm and familiar, and I felt a shiver of happiness run through me. "Sleep well?""Always do when you're next to me," he said, pulling me closer. His hand t
ALEXANDER'S POV:I wanted some alone with her. It was so difficult to remain untouchable in the home with her by my side; there were kids everywhere. I didn't even get a full kiss because the kids always surrounded her. I know they love them, but I want some attention too. They always steal her away from me. So, I took Mireya out today to our private beach where my dad and mum would spend time together. She looked so beautiful in her summer floral dress. Her amethyst eyes looked bright and beautiful just like her skin. The horizon was tinged with the soft hues of twilight, where the sun's last rays kissed the water with a gentle caress. Our private beach stretched out before us, a sanctuary of sand and sea that Mireya adored. I watched her from a distance as she stood at the water’s edge, the breeze playing with her hair, her silhouette framed by the golden glow of the setting sun.I walked up behind her, slipping my arms around her waist. She leaned back against me, sighing contente
ALEXANDER'S POV: When she first met her idols for the first time, the look on her face will always live rent-free in my mind. I know how she loved them and how their songs healed a part of her hurt heart. She was awestruck and I'm happy that I'm the one making her wishes come true. She adores them, but I'm not too fond of the fact that they act close to her. I know I'm being stupid and paranoid here, but she is my woman, no one else is allowed to touch her, especially strangers. But she is happy that's all that matters to me at the end of the day. She ate all the food she had been craving to eat. But she was sad when she said she couldn't able to feel the taste of the food. Because of her cancer treatment, she wasn't able to taste it because the food tasted tasteless or like mud. I hate seeing her like this, but she pushed those thoughts away and started eating normally. She doesn't show her feelings in front of me, that is fine. But I can sense her even from a mile just by the look
MIREYA'S POV: Alex - my savior. He is the perfect example of a man. A man who does anything for his woman. His love for me exceeded my love for him. If he asked me 'The love I have for you, the love you have for me, whose love is more?', I would say that instant is 'His Love'. But he would have answered that perfectly, 'Will you see the love we share as two?'. There were so many moments when I wanted to ask him to marry me. He took more effort to rectify his mistake in the past and I forgave him long ago. I can't stay away from him; he is the one I have loved since childhood. He knew, he definitely knew that I would want to meet the famous K-pop band 'BTS'. He surprised me by booking all the tickets and arranged a meeting to meet them. I'm beyond happy because of the unknown stranger people who tried to heal me with their music. I don't know how he did it, or what he did to agree to make them meet me. It's so generous of them to agree to meet me despite their busy time. I packed
