I spent more time in my room these days than ever and hardly came downstairs.When I got home from school or from work, Romano was nowhere to be found. In fact, he barely spoke to me during the whole week, he only looked at me with an unreadable expression on his face and never smiled at me unless he absolutely had to.I knew that I shouldn't be jealous of anyone, and that it was wrong to feel that way, but nevertheless I couldn't help it.Romano had already accepted that I was his wife, but I could tell that he wasn't entirely comfortable with the idea.I didn't blame him. I was still learning how to adjust to being married to him and I probably wouldn't be any good at it either.I had promised Romano that I would do my best to make him forget about his past and move forward, but every time he glanced in my direction, I could still feel his icy stare piercing through my soul.At night, whenever I tried to sleep, I'd lay awake on my bed, listening to the sounds coming from outside.An
The sun was shining bright and the wind was blowing strong against our faces.I shivered involuntarily."Here," Romano said, handing me his hoodie."Thanks." I said, taking off my shirt and putting on the hoodie. It was huge on me and hung loosely around my body.We got into the passenger side of the car and I leaned across the centre console to give Romano a quick peck on the cheek."So, where's your friend taking us?" I asked.Romano turned his head to look at me and smiled softly."You remember where it is?"I nodded, giving him a small smile in return."Good because he said that he has been planning this trip for weeks now. He just wanted it to be perfect, so we're gonna go to the beach."Romano started the engine and soon enough we were driving along the highway heading towards town. We passed the village we'd passed yesterday and continued going straight until we reached the sea.We arrived at the beach and when we stepped out of the car, my jaw dropped.The sky was cloudless an
"Do you trust me?"I stared at him for a few moments, searching his eyes.I quickly nodded my head in response."Then why are you acting scared?"I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could reply, a crash sounded behind us.Both of us stood up from our seats and walked over to the doorway of the kitchen."Romano! Is everything okay?!" Someone yelled from another room."Yeah, don't worry. Everything's fine!" He yelled back.We waited patiently for a few minutes, but after ten minutes of silence, we knew it probably wouldn't be fine anymore."I swear, if they break anything or hurt themselves, I will hurt them. And not in a sexy way." I threatened.Romano let out a short laugh and nodded."We should go check on them. Do you want to stay here?" I asked him.He shook his head."No, go ahead. I'l be there in a minute."I nodded my head again and left the room, closing the door softly behind me. When I returned to the living room, I found the door wide open."Where did they go?"
"Right. I'll make sure to tell them that." Romano responded, smirking slightly.A few seconds later, we both heard a splash in the pond."That didn't sound like a big fish." I said, raising my eyebrows."Oh no, that wasn't a big fish." Romano said, nodding his head slowly."Maybe it was one of the dolphins.""No," Romano said, shaking his head. "They usually don't come near shore. There aren't many schools of dolphins out here. So it must've been a bigger fish.""Well, whatever it was, it's gone now." I said, relaxing once again."Yup." Romano said.Before either of us could say anything else, there was a loud bang coming from the house. I immediately shot up from the bench and grabbed Romano's hand."Run!" I screamed, pulling on his hand.Without even asking for an explanation, he grabbed my waist and threw his left leg over mine, grabbing onto my back, and started running toward the forest.As I jumped over roots and branches, I couldn't stop myself from screaming every time the gr
When we finally reached the car, Romano grabbed my arm, stopping me from getting out of the car."Wait a minute, princess." He said, reaching into his pocket and retrieving something.He handed it to me and leaned in to kiss me, which I gladly returned."You're adorable when you blush." He chuckled softly, placing another kiss on my lips. "I love you." He added."I love you too." I giggled.We then got into the car and drove back to our house in comfortable silence. Neither of us spoke a word for the rest of the way. I didn't mind though. The peacefulness and peace of the quiet night was completely calming me down.Once we pulled into the driveway, Romano parked the car. Without saying anything, he hopped out of the car and went around to open my door. When I finally climbed out, he led me up the front steps of our house and entered our apartment.Once we were inside, he immediately pulled me by my waist to him, pressing me against the wall and kissing me deeply. It felt as if nothing
He continued kissing me hungrily, unable to take his eyes off me. He then leaned forward and trailed tiny kisses down my jaw to my neck, kissing, licking and sucking my skin. I was so aroused I felt like exploding. He suddenly took his mouth away from my skin and stared down at me with hooded eyes. He began moving slowly. I felt his large member stretching me even farther, filling me completely. He was so big! My legs started shaking. I couldn't wait any longer."Romano!" I screamed, my voice trembling. He heard me and immediately picked up speed. He increased the pressure and stroked his length faster. With every stroke, I felt myself getting closer to ecstasy."Ahh!" I cried out, feeling my walls tighten around him. He increased the pace and increased the friction against my clit as well, sending waves of pleasure throughout my entire body. I bit down on my bottom lip to stop from screaming out. I wanted to hold back, to scream his name. But I couldn't. Every time he hit my sweet
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
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
