Our time spent in Italy has been one of the most precious moments in my life that I will treasure forever. We started the baecation in Miami which was really fun but overly populated so Ben flew us out to Italy for the perfect trip.
We have used our phones to communicate with our loved ones and capture images but for the most part, we have taken the time to really be present in the moment. I have found myself falling deeper in love with Ben and the way we make love has reached a spiritual level that I can't explain.
Our souls have intertwined.
"I'm going to buy a boat and name it The Iris." Ben gives me a cute smile that makes my heart warm. "We've really adapted to life on a boat and I can see us sailing the world at some point in our lives."
"Would that be before or after kids?" I wiggle my brows at him and he freezes at the mention of children.
"Before and after." He responds after a moment and I lean into his embrace as we stare at all the beautiful architecture. "I would want the luxury of enjoying these peaceful moments with you without the presence of others then being able to reflect on our lives together."
"This is really it?" I ask him as I hold out my hand and he places his hand in mine without a second thought.
"This is it."
I had some doubts when rekindling my romance with Ben as I feared that he would cheat on me with other women. Cheating has been normalised in the basketball culture so no one ever feels sympathy for the women who fall prey to it but I'm not about my life. Dating a basketballer doesn't mean that I should expect to be cheated on which is why I'm happy to hear no reports on Ben.
He has never cheated on me but when we first started dating, he wasn't shutting the women down which was the problem. Instead of not responding to their messages or even blocking them, he was entertaining their filthy thoughts which led to the end of what we had going on.
Ben is different now and I'm more in love with him now than I was before.
