"Hey, what are you doing? Are you crying? I didn't mean to upset you." Alina asked concerned."No...no, I'm fine." Sergio responded, wiping away a stray tear that had escaped his eye."Are you sure? Because it doesn't seem like it."Sergio laughed quietly. He knew Alina was right. Although he hadn't cried in years, his emotions seemed to be getting out of control lately. He guessed that the stress that he was going through was starting to catch up with him. It wasn't easy being so close to your wife and still being so far apart. It didn't bother him though, because at this point he wasn't planning on giving her up anytime soon. He wouldn't even dream of doing that. If he could help it he'd spend every single second that he could with her. That was the plan anyway, since he knew that if he tried to stay away from her she'd probably try to convince him to come back home with her. But no matter how much he hated being apart from her it didn't feel right for them to break apart. Their
After making out for a few minutes longer they decided to call it a day. As they exited the pool they were greeted by an exhausted looking Sergio. Irish giggled when she realized that she had gotten under his skin and managed to wear him out."Didn't expect you to pull a prank on me, eh?""Of course not." She replied sarcastically.She then proceeded to stand in front of him and wrap her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her torso and lifted her up so that she could straddle his lap."Now are you feeling better?""Yup!"She flashed him a bright smile."We should get back to our room now. We've still got work tomorrow.""Yeah, I guess you're right."Sergio stood up from his position and picked up Irish from his lap. She wrapped her arms tightly around his shoulders and buried her face into his neck as they walked. Once they arrived at their bedroom he laid her down on the bed before crawling on top of her. She stared up at him confusedly as he leaned down. His lips met
"Good morning."He grinned and scooted closer to her. Irish immediately sat up and wrapped her arms around him."What do you want for breakfast?" He asked."Nothing yet, I'm still sleepy." She said with a chuckle as she buried her face against his shoulder."You're adorable." He responded with a grin.She rolled her eyes playfully as she nuzzled her cheek against his chest. He then pulled away from her and stood up."Come on, it's nearly time to leave for the airport."Irish groaned slightly as she pulled her covers over her head."I know, but I really wanna sleep some more. Can we skip today?""Oh come on Irish. We're supposed to meet your sister and brother for lunch today.""They can wait a few hours.""But what about your family? They're going to be waiting for you to arrive."She sighed heavily before pulling the blankets off her head."Fine, I'll go shower and change clothes."He quickly pecked her lips before hurrying out of the bedroom. Irish quickly jumped out of bed and ran
Then that's their problem not yours. Why should you care?"Sergio sighed deeply."Maybe I should. It's not everyday that you marry someone and have their child. It can be kind of overwhelming, you know?""Yeah, I completely understand."Just then Sergio's phone vibrated. He immediately glanced down at the screen, reading the notification that had popped up."Looks like our flight leaves in forty five minutes, so we might as well start getting ready."A few moments later Sergio finished texting his father and got out of his chair. Irish followed suit and grabbed her bag. She slowly followed him out of the airport and to their hotel suite which was located just a couple blocks away from the airport. As they walked, she couldn't help but admire the view. Her eyes drifted every now and then to Sergio as he walked beside her. Even though they were married, he still amazed her every day. Whenever he would walk past a flower or plant she thought it was the cutest thing ever. Even though sh
Once they drove off into the streets they began heading towards Sergio's parents's home. As they approached the neighbourhood Irish noticed some of Sergio's relatives starting to arrive. Some of them stopped their conversations and stared out onto the road as Sergio passed them by. Some simply nodded their heads, others shouted greetings to them.As they pulled up in front of the house Irish got out of the car, grabbed her suitcase and locked it. Sergio joined her outside and the three of them made their way through the gate to the front door."Welcome to the house!" Sergio's mom called out happily as she appeared."Hi mom," Sergio responded.He placed his suitcase against the wall in the hallway before turning his attention back to Irish. She took a deep breath and stepped forward to hug him."Hey," she whispered quietly.He squeezed her tightly."This is your new life Mrs. Sergio Maxwell.""And it seems like yours too. You've grown so much since we last saw each other. You look so
"Oh... Are you alright dad?""Yes. It's nothing to worry about. I've got it under control. Now come inside. Dinner is almost ready.""Okay. Thank you."Sergio grabbed his mother's arm and guided her toward the dining table while introducing her to his aunt and cousins. He introduced her to his cousin's boyfriend who had been staying over at their apartment recently. They chatted for a while before dinner started and soon everyone gathered at the table. The conversation went on for a couple of hours until everyone seemed satisfied with the food and dessert which was served. Sergio and Irish shared glances occasionally as they tried to determine what was going through the other person's minds. It was obvious that they both were feeling awkward and uncertain about the upcoming wedding. After dinner everyone retired to the living room, where Sergio told them that there would be presents underneath the tree before retiring upstairs to change.While the two of them were waiting for his p
Sergio wrapped his arms around Irish once more and placed a kiss against the crown of her head. After a while, he pulled away and rested his forehead against hers."Can I ask you a question?""Of course.""Why did you choose to end things between us? After all these years I thought that you'd realize that you still loved me enough to stick with me no matter what. That you still cared about me enough to try your best to get rid of those horrible memories.""Sergio..."Sergio cut Irish off, shaking his head."No. Don't stop there. Tell me why you chose not to love me anymore.""Because it's hard to forgive someone who doesn't love you back."Sergio frowned deeply."What?""When I woke up from my coma, I didn't remember a thing about who I was before I died. My memory has completely disappeared. Everything I know is new. But I still know myself. I can recognize my own emotions. I can sense my love for you and how much you mean to me. And I know I won't ever be able to love someone else a
Irish pulled Sergio into a hug, peppering small kisses along his head. Sergio wrapped his legs tightly around Irish, pulling her impossibly closer to himself."Do you think you can stay here tonight?" Sergio asked, looking up at his fiancé."If you don't mind.""Of course not. I missed you."Sergio and Irish made their way back to the bedroom and quickly stripped themselves of their pyjama's. Irish climbed onto the bed and snuggled up to Sergio, wrapping her arm around his torso. Sergio nuzzled his nose into Irish's neck and closed his eyes, letting out a soft sigh as he listened to her heartbeat. It sounded so familiar and comforting. Sergio slowly fell back to sleep after that, cuddling his bride closely.A few hours later, Irish stirred awake to the sound of a phone ringing nearby. She groaned as she lifted herself off Sergio and walked across the room. She picked up the cellphone, answering it."Hello?""Hey babe... It's me.""Hey mom.""How are you feeling? Are you having fun wi
