I abandoned my car and crossed the road in a jiff. I hurriedly stepped into the cinema, worried that I might miss her. She could be in any of the rooms watching a movie, and if she were, I would have to wait for two hours for her to come out of there. My eyes skimmed the whole floor and finally rested on her back. She was facing the board, nibbling on her index finger, pondering whether she should or shouldn’t watch a movie. Which movie? I couldn’t care less. As long as I get to talk to her and get to know her, it’ll be enough for me.

“Should I or shouldn’t I?” she mused.

“Whatever it is, I think you should,” I answered from right behind her. Then she slowly turned around to face me.

Her long and wavy brunette locks swayed as she pivoted. For that moment, my breath caught in my throat as my blue eyes locked with her hazel ones; sparks erupted in me.

“You think I should?” she asked, looking straight into my eyes.

“Wholeheartedly,” I replied softly.

“Which would you prefer?” she continued.

“Whichever your heart desires,” I bantered, eyes glinting.

“Hmm… Have you watched The Martian before?” she spoke again in her husky tone.

“Nope,” I smirked.

“Do you want a gist of it? I won’t tell if you hate spoilers,” she smiled.

For a moment, I was rooted to the spot by her carefree and beguiling smile. Man, I am hooked. Totally and unconditionally hooked.


My Curvy Italian Queen

Mary’s precious daughter, and now mine, seems to have a natural talent to make everyone around her happy. She makes everyone smile, even while I was thinking about her, for she has a good heart full of love. James and I could not have hoped to get this much, even from a daughter. When our son chose her, I could feel my heart almost burst with joy. There was no need to agree with Anakin, for we have already chosen Amidala since she was born. Not only did Mary and Marco follow the progress of our lives, but both James and I kept up with their development too. When I was reported that Mary was pregnant with a baby girl, I was over the moon. Finally, I thought, our pact to get our children paired off would come true because fate always has a way to connect two souls, no matter where they are.
