"Hey, are you done? Because you seem to be a lot better than yesterday." He asks smiling."Yeah, thank you. Sorry it took me so long.""Don't apologize." He walks up to her and kisses her on the cheek."Thanks.""So what's the occasion? Are we celebrating something?" he asks teasingly."Yes actually we are" she replies laughing."Oh really?" he laughs. "What is it?""Well I made you breakfast because I didn't have any money with me." She answers blushing.He chuckles. "Are you sure that wasn't an excuse to kiss me?" he teases. Irish smiles and looks up at him. "Well maybe it was...But I love you anyways."Sergio kisses her on the lips this time and she returns the kiss passionately, she knows he loves her too. They stay like that for quite some time kissing each other until they stop because they can't breathe anymore. They stay close to each other, neither of them wants to move. They just sit there staring at each other. Neither of them want to go to sleep tonight, neither of them w
One of them grabs Sergio by his collar pulling him closer to himself and pushes him away from Irish. She steps backwards and puts her back against the wall to protect herself, holding her hand in front of her chest. The man with brown hair punches Sergio across his face and pushes him even harder against the wall behind him. Sergio hits the ground hard and the guy kicks him on the ribs. Irish tries to pull him away from Sergio but she isn't strong enough. Another man grabs her by the wrist pulling her towards him, forcing her to look at him. "Stay away from my brother!" she exclaims."Shut up, little girl." the man yells angrily before pushing her away from him once again.Sergio screams and clutches his side with both of his hands. He cries silently and he looks up to see Irish running down the street. He starts running after her and manages to catch up with her. He tries to grab her arm but she keeps walking. He reaches for her shoulder but she continues walking."Please...stop,
After some explanations she tells him about meeting his friends and how he came to know about them and how she found out about them from them. Sergio listens closely to everything and he doesn't show any sign of being bored at all. He stays silent throughout the whole story until she finished telling him all of her memories about his friends."Wow!""What?""I mean, what? That's pretty cool. And kind of funny too. I had no idea that they're like that. I actually thought they were a bunch of evil people." he chuckles. "But yeah, I really like that you were able to befriend everyone and make them understand you and accept you for who you are without them knowing. I bet they didn't even know you existed until now.""That's true. My family was pretty strict about that. They didn't allow me to talk to anyone outside my immediate family members or friends. They said that if I started talking to people then we would only end up causing problems in our relationship. So..." she trails off."
"I love you so much Irish."I feels so good after Sergio say all those things to me, I feel like madly in love and deep bond with him . We're now laying down in my bed with our faces only inches away from each other he's looking at me intently his dark brown eyes twinkling with happiness while his soft lips are slightly parted showing his beautiful white teeth. His strong arms holding my body tightly while his left hand is gently stroking the side of my face with his thumb slowly. My heart beating fast as he leans closer to kiss me. But before I can even move a single inch, Sergio suddenly jumps up from me and start to pacing around my room nervously. He look so lost that it makes me frown in confusion.I stand up and walks closer to him and when I reached him, I ask him why he's acting like this? He look really nervous but what I'm more curious about is why he act like this if he already know I already said yes to him. Sergio looks at me with an apologetic smile on his face, saying
We decided to have our first date tomorrow night. We both work at the same bakery downtown that sells delicious cupcakes. That place has many couples buying cupcakes together or eating them by themselves.After we finish our dinner, we watch a movie that Sergio picked from Netflix. At midnight, he decided to take me back to our room since he knows that I hate being woken up. We both lay down in our shared bed while hugging each other tightly. Sergio keeps caressing my back slowly with his long fingers.It's so cold tonight, I can feel my toes freezing. Sergio noticed that and pulled me closer to his warm body. I closed my eyes and enjoy the warmth of his body against mine. It feels really relaxing and comforting. I snuggle myself even deeper to him and wrap my arms around his waist. Soon I fell asleep.Sergio wake me up in the morning by kissing the top of my head. He told me that I looked beautiful even with sleep covering half of my face. I blush and try to hide my blushing face."T
"That' a great slide." Sergio says while looking at the scenery from below.Sergio takes my hand again and drags me on the sand beach. The water is quite calm compared to the waves crashing on the shore. We walked farther along the sand while admiring the beautiful scenery. I let go of his hand and lie down on the sand watching the clouds pass over. My back touched Sergio's chest and I rested my head on his shoulder. After a few minutes, Sergio puts his arm around me and pulls me closer to him. His breathing is soft and slow, and I can hear his heartbeat beating fast.A few hours later, we got up from the beach and head home.A couple days later we're having our date. I tried to choose the restaurant, but Sergio insists that we should go somewhere special. I love him so much for picking a great restaurant. When we arrived, Sergio ordered our food while sitting on the couch. Sergio handed me a bottle of wine with different colored glasses."Here drink this Irish. You'll need it." Serg
Before I finish my sentence I heard a knock on the door and the door creaks open."Hi honey! Are you ready to go already?!" I hear my mom call from the hallway."Yes mom!" I reply.After saying bye to Sergio, I went downstairs and saw her standing by the door waiting for us to leave. I put my hand on top of Sergio's and give him a small smile."Bye babe!" Sergio calls out to me."Bye," I replied with a sigh.The drive back home seemed to take twice as long as the trip there. I'm starting to get nervous. What if my mother finds out? I knew she noticed something between us, but what if she figures it out? Or worse, what if she confronts me about it? What would happen then? What am I supposed to do? Should I keep ignoring it? Or should I face her and apologize?Sergio drove very carefully through the neighborhood. Every few minutes I looked at the mirror to check if my mom was following us. I couldn't believe that we made it home without her seeing us. I kept asking myself "why did we go
I can't wait to be alone with him again, tonight. I never thought that I'd feel this way for my ex boyfriend. But after today it seems like I'm not going to be able to stop myself from falling in love with Sergio. I don't want him to get hurt and I know it's stupid because he told me he wants to stay. So why am I still worrying? I know that I can trust him. But then again, I shouldn't. If only he didn't break up with me and if only I didn't find out about this whole thing with my brother. But then I wouldn't have met Sergio. I'm lucky that I have him now. I'm actually thankful for all the things I had to go through to get to this point. I slowly move closer to him and wrap my leg around his waist. He wraps his left arm around my neck and holds me tighter while moving his body against mine. This is really what I want right now. All these feelings of uncertainty, fear and doubts are slowly being pushed away. I don't know what exactly happened to me but somehow the only thing I can f
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
