If only he lived in London, I thought for the millionth time today.

‘Buonanotte, Sammie,’ Romeo said as he switched off the light.

‘Goodnight,’ I replied, before slipping into a deep sleep.

I rolled over on the bed and as I felt the empty space beside me, I sighed.

Romeo had only been gone for a few hours, but I missed him.

Last night was amazing. I felt so safe and happy being wrapped up his arms and feeling his heartbeat and warm, soft skin under me.

If only I’d suggested sneaking him into the villa sooner, we could’ve enjoyed more nights like that. It’d been fine with him wearing the cap and dipping his head when he saw the cameras. We’d worried over nothing.

I wished Romeo was here right now.

Bloody hell. I had itbad.

If I had withdrawal symptoms after such a short space of time, how the hell was I going to cope after tomorrow when I went home for good?

My stomach clenched. I couldn’t believe that today was my last full day at the Love Hotel. I really didn’t want to go home.

I really didn’t want to leave Romeo.

My phone pinged and as I saw his name on the screen, butterflies erupted in my belly.

Romeo

Buongiorno, bella.

Are you awake?

Let me know and I will send over something from the kitchen.

Me

Hey! Yeah, just woke up and the bed feels empty without you…

Normally I’d be worried about coming on too strong, but I felt comfortable expressing myself around Romeo.

Romeo

I wish I could be there with you and deliver your breakfast personally, but I must go to the office now.

Me

Awww. Me too. No worries. I know you have to work. Maybe you could stop by later? I’ll go for a swim in the sea this morning, but this afternoon I’ll be chilling at the villa.

Romeo

Va bene. I will come and see you this afternoon after I have finished preparing for the evening dates and done lunch service.

Me

Okey dokey. I’ll be ready and waiting…

Romeo
