"What do you feel romance in the Medieval times was like?" "Well, they had no cell phones or modern means of transportation," I squinted my eyes in a different direction, appearing to think. "So my guess is that it was pretty fucked up." Kyle laughed, "Come on, Grace, be serious." "I am being serious." I chuckled. "It must've been totally boring and annoying." He frowned at me. "Sorry." I said with food in my mouth. "What does G****e say?" "Medieval romance was mostly based on chivalry, an idealized noble hero-knight and women being held in high regard." He said. "It also had fairytale-like setting and simple predictable plots."

That was the physical proximity I was subtly, in many, different unspoken ways, allowed on our first official date. I didn’t correct her that bhalobashi becomes bhalobashbo when you add chirodin to it; that it transcends from immediate present to an infinite future. Yearnings are treacherous lycanthropes – I don’t even recall how or when my yearning transformed from a mediaeval hope of keep-looking-into-her-eyes to a post-modern put-your-hand-around-her-waist.

“It's just that it seems like a very strange request to me, considering that we are getting to know each other and that...” “What's wrong with wanting to do those things that any couple does?” I interrupt. “You know. Going to the movies, taking a walk along the beach, sitting on the grass to look at the stars, attending a concert...” “Okay,” it's his turn to interrupt me. He stands up. “You want the typical clichéd Hollywood romance stuff.” “No, Daniel. It's not about... typical Hollywood clichés?” I can't help raising my voice a little. “What do you mean? I do not…”

They were very happy, they said. But what happened? Eventually, Mommy also looked for others even when Daddy was still there. She cheated on her husband and on her family. Romantic love isn't real. It’s only pure sentiment, which eventually also disappears with time. So what's the use of exerting time on something that will eventually fade? You will just waste time. "Congrats to you!" Congrats, my ass. I doubt if they would even make it to ten years. I ran my finger across the table while waiting. The noise of the couple left subsided. I just looked up when I saw Enzo approaching with a tray. He stopped midway, though. She looked back. I also looked over there and saw the familiar group.

Needless to say, the smaller hand belonged to Jasmine. It was a cliché trick often used in romance novels. I was so sick of reading the same plot yet it appeared in my life. No wonder they said fiction often came from real life. The caption was as infuriating and smug as ever, "We belong together." It quickly became a popular post. Several minutes after the post was published, several people began to comment, "Congratulations on getting the man of your dreams." "You finally got him? You owe me a meal now." "Congratulations on finding such a promising son-in-law for the Taylors. You're one step closer to being acknowledged as one of them."

Bella: “You’re really supporting this? Annie, come on!” Annie: “Think about it—two attractive people with a not so good history, forced into a marriage, under the same roof, pretending to be in love. Forced kisses, shared bed, vulnerability… of course attraction’s gonna build. Either sweet, romantic attraction, or the ‘I hate you so much I wanna fuck you’ kind. Totally normal.” Bella: “We are not in a romance book Nessa ! Here’s the thing, you’ve just been single and celibate too long, that’s it! How long has it been again?”

“I wish I were exaggerating. Somewhere between reinforced foundations and drainage systems, I realized I’d started wondering whether pretending to choke on a breadstick would be a reasonable escape plan.” I shook my head, smiling despite myself. “You’re impossible.” “No.” She sighed with theatrical sadness. “I’ve simply reached a tragic conclusion.” “Oh?” She pressed the back of her hand dramatically against her forehead. “I don’t think romance was written into my destiny.” I rolled my eyes. “Here we go.” “Some women get sweeping love stories,” she continued without missing a beat. “The kind where a handsome man looks at them like they’re the only woman on earth.” She gestured toward me.

“You should start driving your own car from now on, you are really irritating.” “Yay, dearest Romeo,” he says mischievously, with sparking eyes. My cousin is really irritating and childish! I stop responding to him and turn the music volume really high until I don’t hear his voice. Mmh, can I be her Romeo? That body of hers would be divine. Scratch that, that’s a tragic story, I don’t even know why it is regarded as romantic. Two lovers committing suicide is nothing close to being romantic. I am certain that ours would be worse than that. It would definitely end with two murders instead of suicides. That does not stop me from imagining her being all mine though.

She said. "Come on this is not a marriage proposal, do you think my marriage proposal will be as lame as this? I can be very romantic when I want to be you know." I said and she laughed. "You? Romantic? Okay tell me, how will your marriage proposal be?" She asked. "You'll only get to find out if you accept to date me now so do you?" I asked. "I told you so." She said. "What?" "I told you back then remember? You said you weren't ever going to fall in love, I told you that you will and I'll be here to say I told you so when that happens." She said and I laughed.
