"Are you ready, darling?" he asked me."As ready as I'm going to be," I replied with a smile.Suddenly, I felt Roman begin to move inside of me. At first, it was gentle and tender but then he picked up the pace. Soon, it became more vigorous and powerful as well as more urgent. Suddenly, Roman shouted out my name as he came. He fell on top of me, his body trembling violently. As he kissed me he whispered, "Don't forget to come back to me tonight, my love."Then he got up and went over to the bathroom. After a few minutes he re-entered and began undressing. I watched him from where I was lying on the bed and noticed that he was staring directly at me and giving me an amused smirk. I blushed and averted my gaze."Would you care to join me in the bath?" he asked me.I nodded my head yes and then slowly got up. I then followed Roman into the bathroom and waited until he shut the door before stripping myself of the rest of my clothes. I stepped into the large tub and lay down. When I was
"Hello darling," she smiled brightly at me."Hi mum," I responded."Your dad will be arriving shortly as well," she informed me.I simply nodded my head in response as I stood there awkwardly. She then walked over to me and gave me a big hug. Then she kissed me on the forehead."How was school?" she asked me."It was alright," I replied as I stared intently at her.She then pulled away from me and then glanced at her husband who was standing behind her. She then looked straight back at me and then started walking away. I furrowed my brows confused and then turned to look at Roman."Who's that woman?" I asked him.Roman shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't ask questions, just accept them."Just then my father entered the room carrying a bunch of flowers in a vase. He placed the flowers on the table next to the sofa and then proceeded to give me a hug. Then he sat next to me and said,"How are you, dear? How's life treating you?""It's been great so far," I said, trying to keep thing
Suddenly, the smell of something delicious wafted through the air. I followed the scent with my nose and found Roman in the kitchen cooking something. I walked over to him, grabbed a spoon and scooped some more batter into my mouth before placing the spoon down and then grabbing another one. As I continued eating, I heard footsteps coming my way. I turned around and saw that it was my father. He then sat down across from me, grabbed a piece of pancake and placed it on his plate. We both ate silently for a couple of minutes before I spoke."Mum says that we're going to London next Saturday," I informed him, causing him to look up."London? What's there to go to London for?" he asked me.I then bit my lip and then said, "She's just saying that to get me to agree to move back with her again."He furrowed his eyebrows at this, obviously not liking what I had just said. But before he could say anything else, I got interrupted by the sound of the front door opening. I jumped up off my sea
"Wow, the apartment really is huge isn't it?" I told him with amazement on my face as I admired the entire space.It wasn't exactly spacious or luxurious but the size of it still surprised me. Even so, it was completely comfortable and comfortable-looking. Everything in there seemed so clean and nice."Yeah, it really is," he replied.I then walked over to one of the shelves and grabbed a few outfits from my suitcase. Then, I made my way back over to Roman and showed him everything that was inside the suitcases. We then spent around half an hour sorting out everything. By the end of it, my closet, bedroom and bathroom were complete. I walked over to the closet and took out one of my dresses from the hangers inside. I then walked over to my large wardrobe and began sifting through all of my clothes."What are you doing now?" Roman asked me."Looking for my best dress, that's what," I replied.Roman chuckled and then said: "Okay, come here then."I then came over to him and he then poi
They giggled and then went back to what they were doing. I just stared at them and then shook my head disapprovingly. They had absolutely no respect whatsoever! How dare they act that way in front of Roman. I mean, he was my husband after all. If anyone should have the right to act that way around us, it should be them. Especially when I wasn't with him!After walking into the classroom, we went over to our table and then sat down. We waited for our classmates to arrive. Soon enough, almost everybody started arriving. Some came late, while others arrived earlier. Everyone had different reactions. Some of them seemed excited while others didn't even bother to show up."Where were you guys yesterday?" I heard someone ask the girls seated at our table.They glanced over at her and then whispered something. I couldn't make out what they were whispering but soon enough the whispering became louder and then I recognized their voices. They were all talking about how they had met and then
"Stop!" I shouted, breaking out of his hold.The smile immediately disappeared from Roman's face. The next second he glared at me angrily. I could see hurt and anger in his green eyes."Get away from me!" I screamed hysterically.Roman then quickly got up and stormed out of the classroom, slamming the door shut behind him. Suddenly I burst into tears. My heart was racing and I could feel my body trembling. I was devastated. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I thought everything was going well between us, but I guess it had not worked out as planned. He just kept lying to me and acting like he loved me. How could I have been so stupid?! I was too blinded by his charm that I didn't see his true nature. He wasn't just a normal guy. Sure he was very kind and caring and extremely intelligent, but underneath the surface, he was just an arrogant, narcissistic prick!But then again, I had also lied to him. After all, it is hard to keep secrets from somebody when they're always
When I opened my eyes again, I looked down and stared at the ground. I watched some of the leaves of the trees rustle as the wind rushed through them. Then another gust of wind suddenly rushed past me and lifted the hair from my forehead. The hair felt cold and damp, almost wet. Another gust of wind blew past and it was blowing directly at me. The hair that was previously covering my forehead flew into my face and I reached up and tried to push them back, but they refused to leave. I was beginning to panic as a shiver ran down my spine. I began shaking uncontrollably as more gusts of wind blew against me and made it feel like I was being blown off the balcony. Then I heard a loud bang and I fell onto the floor and everything went black.When I woke up the sun was shining brightly into my bedroom. At first I was confused, wondering where I was, until I realized that I was at Mr. Drew's house, lying on the sofa in his living room. I jumped up, trying to figure out where I was, but I
"You mean like a couple..." he said with a smile."Yes. Like a couple," I said and then laughed. "I know that's pretty silly of me to say, but sometimes I get really embarrassed when people call us a couple. You know?""It's understandable. Most of us have been married at least once before," he commented."Yeah and it's never fun," I replied, chuckling. "Especially when we end up dating each other. It's almost like we're in a relationship with each other when we're not. Well, unless we decide to break it off, of course.""Of course," he replied and smirked."You know, that's the first time you ever answered a question without giving me an answer. Usually you just ignore me," I stated."Why do you want to know anyway?" he asked."Because I think I deserve a little explanation. I don't remember ever seeing you like this before. What's wrong with you?""Nothing, not really. Don't worry about it. There is nothing wrong with me," he said and smiled at me.I smiled back."Ok. If you say so,
Today marks the first day back after what happened last week. A lot has changed since then. Since we've gotten married, my mother has completely stopped trying to convince me to marry her son, although it has been clear throughout the past weeks that she hates him. But she has also been very understanding towards Sergio, even if she hasn't accepted us yet.My father is currently living with us, as my brother had kicked him out of the apartment last week. He didn't seem very happy about it, especially since it meant that his boyfriend would have to give up their house to live with him. I didn't mind that much though. The less attention that I get from my family, the better.This morning, I decided to wake up early so that I could get some breakfast ready before everyone woke up. I quickly made myself breakfast and put it in a bowl for Sergio. I then proceeded to walk around our apartment getting ready for the day. I was brushing my teeth when the bathroom door burst open and Sergio ra
"Baby, you know that I won't do that ever again. Never. You know that I will always protect you. Always, always. Forever and ever." Sergio reassured me.I nodded in response."Do you remember when you said you needed a break?" I asked quietly."Yeah. Of course I do. Why? Are you feeling better now?" He asked me, rubbing circles on my back."Kind of, yeah." I replied shakily."Well, it's late and I think it's time for us both to sleep. Come on, let's get up and make some coffee so that we can get some rest." Sergio suggested.I reluctantly opened my eyes and slid out of the covers. I followed Sergio out of the room and we entered the kitchen. We poured ourselves two cups of coffee, drinking them gratefully. After putting the cups in the sink, we carried them over to the sofa and sat down."Do you want to talk about it?" Sergio asked me gently, taking my hand in his."Not really." I admitted. "Maybe later?"Sergio smiled at me reassuringly. I leaned forward and kissed him softly, trying
"Wait. What?" I interrupted. "When did that happen?! Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving? What about us? Where were we during those years? Did I know what you were doing? Why did you hide that from me? What happened between you and my brother?"Sergio closed his eyes."You know that it was my fault...you know that I didn't mean for him to become involved with you. It was my choice to leave you alone. But he insisted that you came back with me. That he loved you enough to be willing to sacrifice everything and everything. I tried to convince him that it was in his best interest to stay away. But he wouldn't listen. He was stubborn and refused to change his mind.""He convinced my father that you two were meant to be together. He told my father that you were perfect for each other and he was determined to get married sooner rather than later. That he would wait until you were both eighteen and that it would be worth it because he was sure you'd love him as much as he loved you.
For a few minutes, we just stared at each other, not saying a word. I decided that now was a good time as any to ask him about his relationship with Sergio."So, you and Sergio....?" I started hesitantly.Sergio looked up and stared at me for a few seconds before turning away, his expression unreadable."Yes, we're together." He replied. "But it won't work out." He added when he saw how shocked I looked. "We love each other, I know that. But you'll never be able to understand us like you do. You don't know everything about us. You've known us for all of a day.""How long have I been here?" I asked, not understanding why we were talking about this. Wasn't that supposed to be my question? I had the feeling that I already knew the answer."About seven days." Sergio replied calmly."Seven days?!" I yelled, surprised. "And you didn't think that it was important to tell me that I've been unconscious for seven days?""We thought you needed time to adjust. We wanted to give you some space to
Tears kept spilling from my eyes as I tried to run harder than ever before to catch up with them. Suddenly, I found myself at an empty street. I looked both ways to try and find any sign of the couple and I spotted a familiar figure sitting under a lamppost a little way ahead of me. I broke into a sprint and rushed towards him. As I approached, I began to realize that the man wasn't wearing a jacket, so I figured he must have been freezing.When I got close enough, I could see that he was looking straight ahead with his arms resting on his knees, completely unmoving. I slowly came to stand right next to him, hoping that he would acknowledge my presence. But, he didn't. His expression remained the same and I knew that he was ignoring me. For a second, I stood there, staring at him without moving, completely dumbstruck by what was happening."Are...Are you alright?" I whispered, afraid to make a sudden move lest he would snap out of whatever trance he was currently in.He didn't reply
"Not really. I don't know. I'll probably just hang out with the guys, but that might take a while." I answered."Okay. I'll pick you up at seven then." He said. "How does that sound?""Perfect." I said, smiling slightly. "I'll see you then.""See you then." He responded, hanging up.I stared at my phone for a few minutes longer. I knew there was nothing to worry about. He wouldn't come to pick me up if he knew something was bothering me. He was just being friendly. After a few moments though, I realized that it was already nine in the morning and that the time to wake up everyone else was approaching rapidly."Great. Now everyone else will wake up." I said with a sigh. I picked up my phone and dialled the number of the person who most definitely was not going to appreciate waking up this early. She answered almost immediately."Irish, I was expecting you to call earlier. Is everything OK?" She asked me."Yes, I'm fine. I just woke up and wanted to check if you were awake.""Ah yes. T
"What's so funny?" He asked, frowning at me."Nothing... I was just wondering why you're behaving like this." I said with a chuckle."I'm not behaving like anything." He protested."Oh please, Sergio, don't play dumb. You know exactly what I mean. I saw the way you looked at me." I told him.He looked up at me, puzzled."Look, Irish, it's not what you think. I didn't mean to stare at you, ok? It was an accident." He explained quickly.I shook my head. "You know perfectly well that you couldn't have meant to stare. Look, Sergio, you don't seem like yourself these days. You look more serious than ever before. And besides, there's no need for you to feel guilty. You didn't do anything wrong."He stared at me for a while longer, as if trying to find the right words to say."I know. Please. I am sorry, Irish. Can we start over? Forget what has happened." He pleaded earnestly.I sighed. "Okay. I forgive you, Sergio." I said, reaching across the table to touch his hand.He took my hand gentl
"Is it okay with you if we go out for dinner tonight?" Sergio suddenly asked, breaking the silence between us."Why wouldn't it be? That sounds awesome." I answered smiling. "What are your favourite restaurant?"He chuckled lightly at my enthusiasm, and then told me his favourite restaurant nearby. After ordering our meals, we started to discuss our plans for tonight. Although we hadn't talked in a long time and neither one of us was sure about what we wanted to do, we still decided to try to spend some time together. Since we weren't going to be able to talk about what we were going to say later, we decided to keep some of it simple. Just a few casual questions about each other's lives. Then after we finished our meal, we would decide where to go next and what we were planning to do for the rest of the night.It was nice spending time with Sergio again. After everything had happened the last time we spent time together, I had missed him so much. He was someone whom I missed dearly.
But it was hard when I could hear him chewing slowly, every movement accompanied with loud chewing noises which weren't exactly quiet, yet somehow they still managed to reach me. And when I looked up and looked into his beautiful brown eyes... I lost control. Every fiber of my body wanted to jump into his arms and run away from the awkward tension that was surrounding us. And I just couldn't seem to resist."Would you like more coffee, dear?" My mom asked.I snapped out of my thoughts and focused on the question that she had just asked."Yes please." I responded, giving her a weak smile.She nodded her head and made her way toward the kitchen. I heard Sergio move closer to me and stop right beside me. I remained silent while my mother prepared my coffee."You don't have to stay with us," I stated softly. "We're not forcing you to stay. I can handle things perfectly fine on my own. You don't have to stay."He didn't respond to my statement. Instead, he continued to watch me silently un
