It was a sad experience and Ciara would admit that she felt a little heartbroken. The rejection was very clear. Renzo himself was surprised she has feelings for him. And he still treated her like a kid. That much was obvious. Well, she could still grow up and show him she’s no longer a child.Over the course of the next few years, their dynamics at home didn’t change much. Once in a while, like every other month, Ciara would tease him and express her feelings again, saying things like “I like you” or “I love you” but Renzo has never taken them seriously. He thought it’s just an expression of her gratitude or something. She’s being sweet. The other notable change is that Ciara’s choices in clothing are more… how do you say it? They fit her more and accentuate her body shape. Initially, she was feeling awkward with it but she eventually felt that the fit was actually comfortable. Renzo did notice the change but he didn’t comment on it. He’d seen other girls wearing such clothes anyway.

“Hi, you’re here.” Ciara greeted him as he showed up where she worked. She did like celebrating his birthdays together and she’d been looking forward to this day. She’s both excited and nervous. She got him a gift, but it still isn’t much. It’s only an ordinary laptop. She’s in no doubt he would lend it to her if she asked, but no . . . she doesn’t plan on doing that. Some things are easier done on a laptop than on a phone. She left the gift at home, though.“Quick, this way. I’ll have your cake ready.” She pulled him into a booth and went to prepare their dinner. She’s supposed to clock out in fifteen minutes.“You really didn’t have to.” He stated when she returned with some dishes for them.“Don’t be like that. It’s a celebration.” She leaned over to kiss his cheek.“Happy birthday! Wait, I’ll get your cake.”Somehow, today felt different. I mean, she usually gives him random kisses on the cheeks, but her doing it publicly today is a first. Okay, let’s suppose it’s only because it’

Renzo gently lowered her into the bed. Ciara clung to his neck and didn’t let go. They allowed themselves to get lost in each other’s eyes before Renzo kissed her again. She sighed at the reality of it, savoring his taste, biting his lips, sucking them as well as his wandering tongue. It felt really good. It was a while before it turned heated. Ciara could feel herself burning, her temperature going up as her lust-filled haze continued to strengthen. Her moans reached Renzo and he let go of himself as well. It’s been too long since he last touched a woman. A very desirable woman. He kissed her with more intensity, before moving to taste the rest of her body, her jaws, her neck, what little skin he could reach at the collar of her shirt. He slowly unbuttoned it as he returned to taste her mouth, Ciara mimicking his movements. She whimpered as she felt his hand inside her blouse. It was hot against her skin. In truth, she’s still a virgin. She has no knowledge or experience except for w

Renzo wiped her tears and pressed kisses under her eyes. She chuckled. She hugged him as she sighed. She simply wanted to be close to him at this time, and savor the feeling of being loved by him.In the afternoon, they went out to go on a date. They saw Todd and Kyle, and upon seeing them together while holding hands, they teased Renzo endlessly.“Hey, man… I knew it. You have the hots for Ciara. I shouldn’t have asked.” Todd stated as he grinned at the two of them. Ciara frowned at him, while trying to smile, looking up at Renzo and allowing him to deal with his friend.“Well, I’m glad you finally saw some sense. I can tell you’re beyond happy.” Kyle spoke after they convinced Todd to hit on some other girl, and off he went.“Thanks, man.” Renzo tapped him on the shoulder as he left. Kyle gave them thumbs up, which Ciara took to mean he approved of their relationship.She has her own favorites, and he knew them well. He took her to those places and her cheerfulness was enough to tel

Although the woman wasn’t clinging on Renzo and they actually kept a certain distance from each other, Ciara still felt jealous. She hadn’t felt this way even with women who clung to Renzo before, but maybe it’s because she felt she has the right to as his girlfriend, so she’s feeling this way now.She called him to ask if he’ll be home early but he said he’s still got a job to do. It won’t be long, though, he promised. She was watching them as they walked. The woman was refreshingly beautiful. Maybe that’s why she’s jealous. They were talking and they were both smiling. She couldn’t hear what they were talking about, though.She sighed. Not a good idea to torture yourself. Better go home quickly and prepare something delicious for dinner. If Renzo’s got a job, he’ll be hungry when he gets back.Except he wasn’t hungry because he already ate.“Sorry. Lee works at Tracy’s. She treated me to dinner before I went to repair her bathroom.” He didn’t think there was anything wrong with what
