We both agree our road is paved with challenges.

First things first, my mother would say. I miss my mother so much. I’m sure she’d have the answer to all this.

Although she wouldn’t know what to tell me when it came to him.

I love this man.

The realization hits me like a bolt of lightning.

But what if the hot sex, and his power and charm make me feel like this?

He doesn’t even try to charm me.

He is still my special friend.

The man I go to when I’m in trouble.

The thought makes my emotions soar and puts a lump in my throat.

That’s the thing with him.

That’s how I’ve fallen for him.

Sex is great.

I can tell that even without having someone else to compare him with. He’s a stunning man, and plenty of women would love to walk by his side.

All is true, but what really got me was what he did for me. I could ignore everything else about him, but not this.

He didn’t need to do a lot of shit.

He didn’t need to push Beau back, give me money, and kill a mobster for me.

He did it because he cared and considered me a part of him.

So, yes.

I’ll have to find a way. And not only that. I also want to show him how grateful I am, so I’ll stick with him for as long as I can to prove to him that I can live up to his expectations.

CARMINA

Sunday

The week flies by.

I don’t know how or why time passes by so quickly.

Once we disconnect ourselves from our regular lives, two opposite things happen.

First, it seems like time stops. And secondly, it feels like it does a trick on us, and before we know it, the end of the week is here.

Every night is memorable, with good food, tasty wine, and music.

And then sex.

We’ve indulged in everything, maybe too much, and now it all comes to an abrupt end.
