Fresh start

Chapter 11

Sophia pov

After dinner, we parted from the rest. Each couple decided to take a walk on their own. Kevin and I decided to go for a drink. We entered a bar, and it was relatively small but adorable and relaxed. We sat down, we both got a beer. We talked about different things, but I always felt that he wanted to ask me something, but he hesitated. "Kevin? I feel like you want to ask me something." he laughs and tells me, "Yes, the truth is what I want. You have known me well. But I don't know how to say it."

"What do you want to tell me?"

"I have been thinking about it for a long time, but since yesterday the desire has become more intense" he takes a deep breath and continues, "The fact that I fell asleep and woke up next to you was perfect, and I want this to continue. What I want to say is that I don't know how I will be able to sleep apart from you tomorrow." does he say what I think he says? He wants us to live together. No way .... he takes my hand and squeezes it. He smiles at me. "I know it's early. We just started, but I'm sure I want to be with you. I want to stay together. I want to sleep and wake up next to you. To eat breakfast together. To ... What's wrong, baby? "He asks me after he sees me crying. "Nothing. Keep going."

"No. Tell me what's going on?" how do I tell him now?

"It's just after what I went through I thought that I would not find someone who wants me so much in his life. Although I lived with my ex-husband in his house, I never felt welcome. No one has ever spoken to me sweetly like you. No company accepted me as fast and warm as you and the guys. The only person who understood me and comforted me was my grandmother. I lost her. But in the end, she gave me the best gift. She allowed me to leave, and that's how I met new people. I met you. And for that, I will always thank God and my grandmother. As you said, it's early, but I have to tell you. I'm tired of doing what others want me to do. I'm tired of putting aside what I want. I'm tired of hiding my feelings, so I don't get hurt. I want to live what we have wherever it ends" I wipe my tears and say, "Kevin?"

"Mm?"

"I love you. And I want as much as anything to stay with you. You don't need to say anything. I want you to know how I feel about you." he cups my face and kisses me loudly and passionately. If I die here and now, I will be happy. "Sophia? You're the first woman in my life to say that because I always wanted to be sure before I said those three words. I always wanted to have what my parents have, even after thirty-five years of marriage. They are still looking into each other's eyes, and it is like the first day. I want this, and with you, I know that I will have it. I love you too. "I laugh with tears in my eyes. I put my hands on his neck and hugged him tightly. "You can leave me now, and I'm not going anywhere. I like that you hug me like that, but I want to tell you something, and I have to look at you," he says, laughing

"Ok. What is it?" he cups my face

"When will you come to our house?"

"Our house. I like the sound of it."

"Me too. I also like it when you tell me you love me. I didn't hear you well before you could repeat it." he tells me with a silly smile. I shake my head and look at him

"I love you."

"Again, I did not hear."

"I love you."

"Again"

"I can't get louder. Everyone will turn around and look at us."

"I do not care. Say it" I grab him by the face and kiss him as passionately as I can. Maybe that's how he understands it. He slides his tongue into my mouth and continues to kiss me. I gave him the control, and I could not do anything else. When he kisses me, I give up. "I love you."

"I love you too," he replies. "Tomorrow, leaving here, we will pass by Steffie's apartment, get some clothes and come with me. Within a week, we will pack all your things, and you will come to our house." "Have I ever told you that you are very sexy when you take control?"

"No. It's good that you told me to do it more often" After a while, we paid. I mean, he spent we went home. It is not far, around fifteen minutes.

“Fortunately, it is not too cold," I tell him

"Next month will be enough." "Oh my God, less than a month is Christmas." I tell him excitedly, "I guess you like Christmas."

"Yes, a lot. And I always wanted to see New York on Christmas day." "You will see her this year. And because you mentioned Christmas. What are you going to do?" "I do not know. I have to discuss it with my boyfriend. I am not alone anymore." I say and smile sweetly at him. "Well, since we have made it official. What do you say to meet my family? This year my little sister Diana from London will also come with her husband and her little girl. What do you think?" Diana and little Isabella are Kevin's weaknesses. He misses them a lot. Her husband is English, and he met Diana when she was a student in London. He has a permanent job there, so they decided to stay in London. They rarely come when I know Kevin will be very excited. "Em. I'm anxious to meet your family. I don't know if they will like me, but I would love to meet them," I tell him and smile. He stops me, holds my hands, and says, "They will love you. Do you know why?"

"Why?" "Because they know me. And they know I chose the best." we continue walking. "I hope you don't mind. I have told my parents about your situation. I didn't want to, but my mother learned that I met you, you work for me, and nothing has happened between us. She wanted to come to the company to meet you and talk to you. I didn't want to put you in a bad position, so I told her why you din't want to move on yet. Sorry" "Don't be silly. It's good. You did well. They would find out at some point anyway. But since she was coming to the company and I didn't know what to do, you did well, and you said it." We continued for the house. All the way, I was thinking about that from tomorrow I will live with Kevin.
