28. "Loving is letting go" THE END

"Valeria?"

She hummed turning around, covering her head with the duvet after she heard him giggle.

"Your alarm went off minutes ago."

"Shit."

She got out of the bed finally opening her eyes before looking at the man lying on the bed, staring at her while supporting his head with one of his hands.

"What are you looking at?"

He put a wide grin on his face still not taking his eyes off her.

"I don't know. You look beautiful."

She yawned, thinking this man might be blind before going to the bathroom as the only thing she was in need of was the cold water.

Trying to be fast as possible, she came back to the bedroom with a towel around her body, deciding on what to wear.

"Would you give me a ride to the university?"

She asked throwing the towel somewhere on bed, putting on her underwears.

"How about you ride me first?"

She could not hold herself and let out a chuckle right before rolling her eyes at the man still lying on their bed.

"Get up! Now!"

He quickly walked up to give her a kiss on the lips before rushing to the bathroom.

While doing a quick make up, she was smiling to herself thinking how happy she was especially compared to her mental state some months ago.

She was with the man she loved and he really did everything she could to make her feel loved.

She turned her gaze to the dog sleeping peacefully on the bed, reminding herself to feed him before they go out.

If it was not him, coming to the airport after her and asking her to stay, she would probably be in St. Petersburg, sad and alone.

When he pulled up in front of the building Valeria leaned in to give him a quick kiss but he put his hand on her cheek, deepening the kiss.

"Would you like the idea of traveling to Spain to spend our Easter holiday?"

Her eyes sparkled the moment he asked the question, getting already excited about the things they would do together during the break.

"Yes, I would love it!"

He smiled to her before turning his gaze to the wheel, feeling uncomfortable about the question he was going to ask next.

"The boys wanted to join us. Is it okay? I can tell them some excuse if you don't want him to be around."

Valeria quickly shook her head, grabbing her boyfriend's hand.

"It is okay. We are both on good terms with him. I don't think there will be any problem..."

He raised her hand to put on a little kiss on it before she gets out of the car.

They were all going to meet in their studio because Evelina and Aleksi told them to do. Valeria has been thinking about it all day, why they wanted something like that.

Her last class was cancelled which means she had to go to the studio earlier than everyone else. Knowing that, her boyfriend might be home, she walked in to the building hoping that someone would be inside to open the door before knocking on it.

She was busy with her phone texting her boyfriend that she was already at the studio before she raised her gaze to the man who opened the door for her.
