We've Only Just Begun The Romance Is Not Over Novels & Stories

Faster than normal. Yeah ! This is the beginning of their love journey .

“Just trust me.” Evelyn stepped outside her apartment building and found Mateo waiting with a motorcycle. “Get on.” “Where are we going?” “You’ll see.” Twenty minutes later they were standing on a hill overlooking the city lights. Mateo spread a blanket on the grass. They lay side by side staring at the stars. “You’re smiling,” he said. “I am?” “Yes.” “I guess I am.” Mateo turned his head to look at her. “You should do that more often.” She then looked at him leaned in for kiss it felt like it lasted long but it was just for a few seconds

And later, I have to go to Rome’s office to start working there. “I was too busy, babe, so this time I got the opportunity to call you since Xino said you are in your week off,” Rome explained further. “You know, why not just get married as soon as possible since we are both single and compatible, right? I fell in love with you at first sight and you’re really handsome! You’re so manly too,” she said with a mix of squeal and excitement while caressing Rome’s arms. She was also biting her lower lip. “It was my first time to be with a man in a romantic way. My exes were almost aggressive,” she added.

Their love story would never come to an end, in fact, it was only the beginning. *** THE END ***

I retorted. “First of all, it’s not a rom-com. It’s classic noir romance. And second, you’re watching it tonight.” I smirked. “Only if we get gelato after.” “Deal.” This… this was what we had fought for. Not empires. Not legacy. Just us. No more lies. No more pretending we didn’t need something that felt like home. As the sun dipped lower, painting her skin with amber light, Cassie turned to me, more serious now. “I found something.”

"Nanny, please. Don’t remind me. I’m trying to forget that ever happened." "Forget? Oh no, my dear. You can't forget something like that. This is fate, darling! You slept with him, and now he’s your boss? You couldn't write a better romance novel if you tried!" she exclaims, practically bouncing in her seat. I stab at my food. "This isn’t a romance novel, Nanny. This is my life, and I’m just trying to do my job without embarrassing myself."

"I'm just saying. Don't brush off the possibility just yet." I narrow my eyes at him. "Why do you sound like you really want it to be him?" He shrugs unapologetically. "What can I say? I'm a sucker for a good romance." I scowl. "There is no romance between us." "Keep telling yourself that, babe," he says, patting my shoulder. "You two are a trope waiting to be written about." I shrug off his hand. "We are not. There’s no story here."

For a moment I thought the world was being kind to us, offering a show as if to say: endings can be beautiful, and beginnings sometimes come disguised as spectacle. “I didn’t know the conversation would take this turn, so I asked for fireworks,” he said, the hint of sheepishness in his voice making me smile despite myself. “You did enjoy watching them from rooftops.” I lifted my legs a little and pecked him on the cheek, a small, instinctive gesture that felt like reclaiming a peace I had thought lost. Roman had other plans, he turned toward me, and his lips found mine. The kiss was instinctive, then purposeful, then everything in between. It tasted like apology and hunger and memory.

“I’m gonna spend the rest of my life loving you, amor.” I chewed on my lip as he crawled on the bed, naked. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life loving you, Roman,” I echoed, holding his face tenderly. “Let’s start by taking you out of this pretty dress, yes?” I nodded, eager to spend the rest of my life with this wonderful man. ~Fin~ Thank you for reading.
