Between Us Novels & Stories

Maureen nudged her. Aria laughed. “Yes, we’re friends now. Not that close though.” “I feel offended. I thought we were close now.” A voice spoke from behind and both girls looked back. It was Matteo. “Here, you left your book.” Matteo said and handed the book over to her. “You’re Maureen, right?” Matteo said, his right hand stretched out for a handshake. “I guess I’m quite popular. Nice to meet you, Matteo. Aria here was just saying nice things about you, so I believe both of you are quite close now.” Maureen said, taking the gesture.

I added. When I said yes to Akira's question while we were at Bagasbas Beach, it brought us both closer together, and I have compassion for his two closest friends.

I didn't allow him to stray from the path. Why? I believe that a serious commitment should be made as soon as possible in a romantic partnership.

She laughed too then said, "But really, we have done too much for people that are not dating. You have done alot for me." I scoffed, shaking my head, "I don't even recall," then I looked at her and asked, "But isn't dating just a title? " She nodded. She seemed to agree.

"I'm just trying to settle the boundaries of us here-" "First of all, there is no us." he cut me and it felt like a slap. Okay, that hurt more than it should. Maybe because I wasn't exactly expecting such a straight answer. I ignored the way my cheeks burned and frowned on my own. "Well, there is a you, and there is a me. So whatever we decided to do together will affect the both of us." He almost grimaced. "Just... don't think about us like a couple. We're friends that sometimes make out. Is it that bad?"

"Okay then, it's the two of us." ***

We had argued, wanted, fought, and fallen into each other with enough intensity to burn through whole nights. What we had not done was something simple. Something deliberate. Something that belonged only to the two of us without the shadow of the office or the family or the people already waiting for us to slip. Aurora closed the book slowly. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

The bond between us grew stronger with each passing moment, weaving a tapestry of friendship and love. As we savored each mouthful, our conversations deepened, exploring the intricacies of life, dreams, and aspirations. We exchanged anecdotes and secrets, baring our souls to one another. In that intimate setting, surrounded by the warmth of genuine connections, it felt as if time stood still, allowing us to truly embrace the present moment.
