“Yeah, we’re doing things backwards. First, we got married. Then we became friends. Now we’re dating”.I answered absently, toying with the bracelet that he gave me.

She went to the kitchen area, took a corkscrew from the drawer, and opened the bottle of wine with the ease that only a girl raised in the Napa Valley could have. I started to tell her how things had developed between Matt and me while we drank.

"And are you okay with having a relationship?" I've questioned myself the same amount of times during the past few days. The problem is that I don't want to run away from Matt.

"Sure, we're just enjoying our time together."

“Now, I want to hear about the juicy details. Is he as good as he seems? You know, with these huge hands, …”

I didn’t say anything, just smiled at myself.

“That good? I’m so jealous.. My sex life is practically non-existent right now. If I go to the gynecologist, he'll probably say that I've become a virgin again.”

“Oh, Harper, he has ruined me for other men”. I

    -NINA- The event was being held in the convention center of an elegant hotel in downtown New York. It was a cocktail party at which those involved in the project would present the most significant aspects of the building complex. The client wanted to show some investors that his new branch could be ecologically sustainable and, at the same time, make some money. Scattered around the room were posters on recycled wooden structures showing digital images of the project. At the front, a raised platform was positioned, and a large digital display showed the company logo. "Here, drink this." Chris handed me a flute of champagne. "Your anxiety is practically vibrating through you." "Chris, you know how important this presentation is for me. I really don't want to mess it up," I replied, taking a sip of the sparkling drink. It hit my stomach oddly. I've been dealing with a stomach bug lately, and I think it is too soon for my body to handle alcohol. He moved a little closer and

    -NINA- "No?" Chris asked me, confusion stamped on his handsome face. "You're not pulling this stunt again." With determined strides, I closed the distance between us until I was near the drink cabinet. "I refuse to accept it." A realization hit me like a lightning bolt as I entered the elevator. He can't be doing this again. I'm not seventeen years old anymore. His obsession with protecting me is obvious. It would be fine if only he didn't push me away. "But Nina_" he started, but I cut him off. It was my turn to speak. I cupped his face with my hands, my eyes pinning him in place. "No buts. You said it yourself. I'm not a child anymore, and I'm not naive enough to fall for the same story again. You're not getting rid of me this time," I said firmly. "It’s the best way," he said softly, his breath brushing against my face, while his warm hazel eyes shimmered. "It’s a bulls.hit," I emphasized the last word. "Please put something in your stubborn head once and for al

    -CHRIS- Snow was falling over New York. I stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, facing Central Park outside, with a glass of whiskey in hand. The park lay beneath a blanket of snow, the bare trees stark against the pristine, powdery ground. It was a beautiful black and white canvas, a painting that my mood wouldn't allow me to enjoy. It was a chill winter's day outside. Though the penthouse heating was on, I still felt colder. This had been my state since returning from the Napa Valley—I felt like a walking corpse, dead inside. I sipped my single malt, hoping the burning sensation going down my throat would somehow warm me. But it didn’t. Nothing can help when you know your heart is about to be torn from your chest. And you'll be the one to do it. Even with my back turned, I sensed Nina's presence instantly. The air felt different, charged with a warm energy. She brightens every room she steps into. I gave her the keys to

    -CHRIS- Returning to the house in Napa Valley where I spent my childhood after such a long time felt strange. Just a few days ago, I left Nina in Italy and flew back to the US. After handling the most pressing issues in New York, it was time to shift my attention to the more significant matters. That means making Nina my wife as soon as possible. When she comes home next week, everything needs to be ready for the proposal. Since the engagement ring plays a very significant part, it needs special attention. And I wanted to give my mom's ring to Nina. That explains why I crossed the country to go back to the house where I grew up, the place I had so many horrible memories. All of my mom's jewelry is securely kept in a safe in our family manor. The house remains untouched, just as she left it, with her clothes still hanging in her closet. My uncle hasn't moved a single item. Although I understand this may not be a weird move, it didn't seem right to touch her personal bel

    *Warning: Explicit content -NINA- My father is a very old school guy. There was no way he'd allow Chris and me to share a bed in his house. Sometimes, I feel he likes to think I'm still a virgin, despite knowing about the whole mess involving the s.ex tape. He placed Chris in the guest bedroom on the opposite side of the house. Ideally, he wanted Chris to stay in the spare room in the storage house outside, but my mom vetoed that idea. Someone had to stop his madness. Now he keeps patrolling the corridors during the night like a freaking prison warder. Chris doesn't mind. He wants to please my father at any cost. It's ridiculous to see how close they are, especially if you consider the intense moments following our arrival in Italy. Now, they often watch soccer games on TV together, share beers or bottles of wine, and even play scopa—a traditional Italian card game that I find incredibly boring. But today is the first day of the year, and I'm on my limit. All I want

    -CHRIS- "You want what?" Alberto's eyes locked onto mine, brimming with fury. "I don't think I heard you right." Holding his gaze, I spoke clearly, "I want to seek your blessing and marry your daughter." From now on, I'll be with Nina, and nothing will ever stop me. With eyes wide open and eyebrows furrowed, he threw his arms up in the air, utterly incredulous. "Ma sei pazzo? Are you crazy?" "Yes, I am. I’m crazy about Nina and I want her to be my wife." I kept my voice steady, so he could be sure how serious I was. Nina's father is a kind and honest man. When you're on his good side, it's fantastic. However, if you cross his family, he becomes like an enraged bear, capable of tearing you apart in an instant. Right now he's terrifying. And I don't care. I want her. I need her. And I'll do everything to make it happen. Even if it means getting punched in the face by a middle-aged Italian. "Let me get this straight. I wel
