I stared at him, unable to believe what I had just heard. I didn't expect Romano to say that. It was like he read my mind. He knew exactly what was running through my head."Do you mean it?" I breathed."Of course I do." He replied earnestly, nodding."Why?" I blurted. "Why now? After all this time?""Because I realized that I can't imagine my life without you anymore, and I never want to, and I never did." He explained calmly."But...are you sure? what about Romano? What if he finds out about us?" I asked, still uncertain."I already told him. There is nothing he can do about it. He knows that it's over. There will only be one woman in my heart."I smiled at him and grabbed his face, pulling him towards me and crashing my lips into his. He groaned and kissed me back, deepening the kiss as our tongues intertwined. Our bodies moved in unison as we explored each other's mouths, loving every inch of each other."Come." He murmured against my lips. He slid his hand underneath my back and
"Good morning." I replied cheerfully, stretching out again, and pressing my back against his firm chest."I have a surprise for you." He mumbled in my ear as he nuzzled the top of my head affectionately."What sort of surprise?" I wondered curiously, turning my head slightly so that I could look up at him.His eyes glittered mischievously as he gave me a teasing grin. He reached down toward the end of the bed and pulled something out of his pocket. When he held it up in front of me, a gasp escaped from my lips.It was the beautiful diamond bracelet he had bought me for my birthday. How come he hadn't given it to me sooner? I thought to myself while gazing up at him in awe. He bent forward and pressed a soft kiss to the tip of my nose."Happy birthday love." He whispered tenderly.I felt tears stinging my eyes as a huge lump began to form in my throat. I stared down at the beautiful bracelet in his hand and then back up at him. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him fiercely, s
"Don't you care about your dad and his family?" I blurted out suddenly.He looked up at me, confused."Of course I do." He replied shortly."Then shouldn't you be doing something for them?" I pressed, narrowing my eyes slightly.He looked at me strangely for a moment before letting out a small, humourless laugh."You're right, you're absolutely right. There isn't anyone else who matters to me as much as you do." He replied, cupping my cheeks in his large hands."But, it's all just a matter of time. It'll happen eventually. We just need to be patient. And strong." He added, kissing my forehead lightly."Okay." I agreed hesitantly, biting my lip nervously.He sat down across from me, resting his elbows on the table and dropping his face in his hands, his hands running roughly through his messy curls.We stayed like that in silence for several minutes while we both processed the events of the day before."Hey love, why don't we try to get some more sleep for tonight? We can talk about to
The gates were ripped off the hinges and lay broken in the snow. A dark red stain stained the pristine white snow below. The front doors were hanging uselessly by their hinges. The house looked absolutely devastated. I walked inside warily, looking around for any sign of life. I frowned when I realized that there was nothing there. The house was silent and empty. I walked further into the empty hall, searching for some sort of clue as to where everyone had gone. After searching the entire house thoroughly, I came to the realization that no one was here. Where were the villagers? Did they escape? Or did they all die in that explosion that hit our village last night?Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice calling my name from upstairs. I ran up the staircase and entered my room. I gasped loudly when I saw the mess inside. I stood frozen in my spot as I took in the wreckage. Books and papers were scattered everywhere and there was a huge hole in the wall that must have been where the ceil
"Irish! Wake up! Hey wake up!" Something cold slapped my face, causing me to jolt awake. I blinked rapidly, struggling to focus. When my vision finally cleared, I realized that someone was poking me repeatedly in the ribs with a stick. I sat up quickly, rubbing my eyes."Hey! What are you doing?" I snapped angrily.My gaze fell upon Romano standing near the door of our bedroom."Sorry! Didn't mean to startle you." He apologies, holding up the stick defensively."Just put that down." I mumbled sleepily, falling back into bed.He glanced at me uncertainly. He knew that it would hurt me if he hurt me, so he put the stick away carefully and walked over to the wardrobe. I watched him rummage through it until he found something. He turned towards me and handed me a pair of boxers."Thanks." I murmured sleepily."Here. Put these on." He commanded, sitting down beside me and patting the empty space next to him.I complied. He picked up my discarded clothes and dropped them into the laundry b
I was just getting dressed when I heard a knock on my door. I assumed that it was Romano. However, when I opened the door to find Roman standing outside, wearing a black tuxedo shirt tucked into a dark blue vest, I couldn't help but feel confused."Roman..." I began uncertainly, "Did I forget something yesterday?"He shook his head."You forgot to text me last night. You left your phone upstairs and I was worried that you might get sick or something. So I called your aunt. She told me that you weren't home. I figured that something must have happened, so I drove here to look for you."I blinked. Did he drive over here because I texted him? I guess that was the reason why he was here, although I'm not entirely sure how I would have ended up answering his call if he didn't show up. I suppose that my mind wasn't functioning properly last night."Right. Sorry about that." I said apologetically.Romano shrugged."It's okay. I just got here anyway. Now, shall we go get ready?" He offered m
After the movie was done, we walked around to see the sights. We visited all kinds of different attractions in town. There were so many new places to see, such as the museum, the shopping mall, the park, the amusement park, the zoo, the aquarium, the theater, the bookstore, the arcade, the library and the art gallery. All of these places were incredibly unique to my knowledge, but I didn't know much about them because I rarely went out. We visited the beach first. We strolled through the sand together. I noticed that he occasionally pulled me in for a hug. Sometimes, he would wrap his arms around me and sometimes, he would just pull me close. Once, we went to the amusement park. We rode roller coasters, played games, and ate cotton candy. He seemed completely mesmerized by everything. He seemed like he had found something to love.We decided to take a little stroll on the beach. Since he was holding my hand, it was pretty easy for me to relax and enjoy myself. Although it was chill
He gave me an encouraging smile. A few seconds later, he leaned forward and pressed his lips onto mine. My mouth automatically opened slightly in surprise. He deepened the kiss slowly.Once our lips finally broke apart, he looked at me curiously, raising an eyebrow."Is this ok?" He asked."Um..yeah." I managed to stutter out.Then, his lips crashed into mine again. I felt butterflies flutter in my stomach. I tilted my head slightly, deepening the kiss more. After some moments, I pulled back and smiled shyly at him."Thanks." I whispered."For what?""Thank you for last night.""Anytime." He winked playfully."Come on!" Romano exclaimed excitedly."Can't we just wait till tomorrow? We've been here for two weeks already, right? Why can't we just continue our trip tomorrow?" I whined, burying my head deeper into the pillow."We just spent the whole week doing nothing. Besides, you promised to show me a new place today." Romano reminded me."Fine." I sighed exasperatedly, sitting up. "I'
