CHAPTER SEVENTY–TWO

VALERIE

It’s been a month since Giovanni and I became… Became what? What do I even call what we were doing? We did everything people in relationships do, going on dates, kissing, cuddling, public display of affection, sex. Everything.

But yet, there was a line.

A line that we couldn’t cross.

And it wasn’t the line between friendship and romance, because we had crossed that a long time ago.

A title. We were exclusively only seeing each other, no one else.

But yet, we weren’t officially a couple.

He didn’t ask me to be his girlfriend, and neither did I ask him. I knew he didn’t want a relationship, and was scared of commitment. But I couldn’t help the way I felt.

I was falling for him.

Hard.

And the thought of being in a relationship with him was scary, because I was afraid of him walking away. It was beginning to scare me with how fast and hard I was falling for him. A man who couldn’t give me the stability and family that I wanted.

I was afraid of losing myself in him.

I was afraid of him breaking my heart.

But, it was too late.

I was already falling for him.

And this was the first time since my late lover, that I’ve been in love. And the thought of giving him all my heart and trusting him with it terrified me. We had successfully avoided any topic about love or a relationship, but boy… It’s like the more I try to ignore the thoughts, the more they pop up.

Giovanni and I have grown so close in the past few months. We’ve been spending so much time together, that a day feels empty without him.

CHAPTER SEVENTY–TWO

+25 Points

After our first date, we went out several times, and the more time we spent together, the closer we got.

We talked about anything and everything, and he had this ability to make me forget the world, and focus only on him.

He made me laugh, and the butterflies in my stomach were constantly active whenever he was around.

My heart raced, and my body would shiver every time he kissed or touched me. Every second, and minute that we spent together, were the most happiest seconds and minutes of my life.

Being with him made me realize, that love wasn’t a choice. It’s not something you could control.

You couldn’t just stop yourself from feeling something. It didn’t work like that.

The moment you meet the right person, and the connection is there, the heart takes over. It’s an automatic response. There’s no logic to it. It’s purely based on feelings and emotions.

When I saw him, all logic, sense and reasoning flew out the window. And my heart and body

would react to him.

He was my weakness, and I’ve never had a weakness before. I didn’t think love could ever happen to me. Not after what happened.

I was afraid of allowing myself to fall, and give my all. But when it comes to him, I was ready to throw caution into the wind, and take a chance. I was ready to throw myself into the deep end, and trust that he’ll save me.

But the problem was, what if he didn’t catch me?

What if he chose to not save me?

I couldn’t risk it.

Not when I’ve lost so much already.

Not when I’ve worked so hard to rebuild my life, and put the pieces back together. I was too scared, and that was the reason we were still doing whatever this was.

It was my off day today, and for the first time, I was going to see him at his house. He must have not thought much about it, but it was a big deal for me, and I was a nervous wreck. We’d usually see at my place or outdoors, but never in his home. Well technically, he was a little bit under the weather and asked me to come over, because in his words, seeing my face would make him feel better.

CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO

I had to go to a few shops, and get some things and also get some drugs for him.

So I took a shower, got dressed in a white floral maxi dress, and headed out. I wasn’t wearing any make up, because the heat would only ruin it.

When I got to the drugstore, I paid and quickly left and got food and snacks from a restaurant.

As I drove, the closer I got, the more my nerves grew. I pulled over a block away from his place, and walked to his door.

Blowing out a breath, I rang the bell.

A minute later, Giovanni answered the door, and I almost melted at the sight of him.

“Hi.” I greeted awkwardly, looking out of place.

“Come here.” He grabbed my hand, and pulled me into a hug.

I hugged him back, and inhaled his scent.

“How are you feeling?”

“Much better. I was getting bored and lonely. But now, I have you.” He whispered the last part in my ear, and it sent shivers down my spine. His masculine scent, and the warmth of his body pressed against mine was making me crazy.

He then leaned back, and looked at me.

“You look… Beautiful. Like a princess.”

I felt a blush creep up, and tried to look away, but he gently cupped my cheek and lifted my head up.

“Don’t. You have no idea what your beauty does to me. And, the dress… You’re making me hard, and I want to rip the dress off and fuck you right here.”

“As much as I would love that, tiger. You’re in no state to be doing any strenuous activity, what you need is to eat, take your drugs and rest.”

He groaned, and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

“Later?” He murmured, kissing my neck slowly, trying to make me weak and give in.
