Love Past Novels & Stories

He did not even spare her a glance, seemingly afraid of upsetting me. His current behavior was almost pathetic. I taunted, "Don't you see how heartbroken she looked? Why don't you go to her? Didn't you repeatedly say she was the most important person to you?" Guilt flooded his eyes as he clutched my hand tightly. "Honey, you have to believe me—I know I messed up. Please give me one more chance. I can prove it to you!" I frowned and pulled my hand away. "It's too late. I don't need that anymore. The moment you allowed her to exist in your life with no boundaries, you made sure there was no coming back from this."

We’d talk late into the night, sipping bourbon by the fireplace, like two men trying to understand life before it ended. One night, after a few too many drinks, I asked him, “You ever been in love?” He smiled like he’d seen a ghost. “I think I have.” I laughed. “Good. Don’t lose it. Ever. I lost mine. And I’ve never recovered.” He leaned closer, genuinely curious. “What happened?” I stared into the fire. “She was. everything. Wild and soft. Brave and complicated. We made vows, blood ones.” My voice cracked. “I let her go because I was a coward in a world built on control. But I never stopped dreaming about her. Every damn night. I see her eyes.”

"Past tense, meaning either you guys aren't fucking anymore, or it did turn out to be something more?" I roll my eyes. "Why are you always reading between the damn lines so well?" "It's not so hard when you're looking like someone just ran over your dog," she explains. "Sex is good, but no sex is good enough to have you looking like that if you lost it. But love..." God, it hurts to hear her say that word. "Love lost will have you looking like you are right now." I swallow. "Yeah, it became something more, but only for me. I did a very, very stupid thing and fell for him. So I did the smart thing and ended it a few days ago."

Or maybe it was the version of me he unlocked. The way we sang and laughed as if we were a couple who had been together for years amazed me. As we sang he leaned in again and this time he came in for a kiss! I leaned in too. Yes, I wanted to know how he tasted. I wanted to know if he could kiss. That was either going to kill this obsession I had with him or add embers that would make it burn harder. Our lips interlocked. His lips were soft and his mouth tasted sweet and smelled a little like bubblegum. Our tongues touched and embraced each other like they were old friends.

Jasmine Ito – POV The truth was simple. And that was what made it hurt the most. John was the only man I had ever truly loved. Not admired. Not respected. Not chosen out of duty. Loved. My fingers trembled as I wiped at the tears slipping down my face, but they wouldn’t stop. They came faster now, warmer, heavier—each one carrying a memory I couldn’t outrun. That night. It replayed in fragments. The way his lips found mine—not hesitant, not rushed… just certain. Like he had been waiting for that moment longer than either of us wanted to admit.

Love still prevail. ~~~~~~~~~~~~THE END~~~~~~~~~~~~

She is happy and wants us to share in it. After all, she's been reunited with the one she loves. Unlike me. Amos has been calling me since my outburst to him, but I've refused to pick any of his calls up. What could he possibly want to say to me? I don't want to talk to him.

“Now, I finally understand what my mom used to say about the love she and Dad shared. I admired it all my life… and now, I get to experience it myself.” I sighed, overwhelmed. “I never thought this would happen to me. I was so ready to leave this world, carrying only pain and sorrow. But God is so good. He gave me the chance to be with you.” Then, almost in a whisper, I added, “Honestly, I had no reason to marry you. What for, when I already knew how my story would end? And yet, here I am, Mrs. Colleen McLahlin. Learning to love with my whole heart.” I smiled and pinched his cheek, unable to resist. He smiled too, looking devastatingly handsome in that moment, and I couldn’t help but playful

Do you remember me? 'Our love is written beyond the stars, Athena. I will always be your man' 'Forgive me. I failed. I couldn't save you' 'Love me now, Altan.
