Alessia Russo Oneshot

A Taste of Love

You unlock the front door and step into the warm embrace of home, shedding the weight of a long day. The aroma of garlic and herbs greets you instantly, tantalising and comforting. You follow the delightful scent to the kitchen, where you find Alessia Russo, her back turned to you as she stirs something on the stove.

"Hey, love," you call softly, a smile spreading across your face.

She turns, her face lighting up with a radiant smile that never fails to make your heart flutter. "Hey! You're home just in time."

"For what?" you ask, moving closer to peer over her shoulder.

Alessia giggles and gently nudges you away with her hip. "For dinner, of course. Now, no peeking! Go sit down, everything's almost ready."

You obey, settling at the dining table, which is set beautifully with candles flickering and your favourite flowers arranged in a vase. The atmosphere is intimate and romantic, every detail thoughtfully prepared by Alessia. Your heart swells with love and appreciation for her.

Soon enough, Alessia joins you, carrying a steaming dish of homemade pasta. She places it on the table with a flourish. "Pasta alla Alessia, as promised."

You chuckle at her playful tone, reaching for her hand and giving it a squeeze. "This looks amazing. Thank you, Alessia."

She blushes slightly, a shy smile playing on her lips. "I wanted to do something special for you. You've been working so hard lately."

You lean in to kiss her cheek, your voice soft with affection. "You're the special one, cooking this beautiful meal for me. I can't wait to taste it."

Alessia serves you both generous portions, and you dig in eagerly. The first bite is a burst of flavours – the perfect balance of garlic, herbs, and a hint of lemon, all melded together in a creamy sauce. You close your eyes, savouring the taste.

"This is incredible," you say, opening your eyes to see Alessia watching you intently, her eyes shining with anticipation.

"Really?" she asks, biting her lip.

"Absolutely," you assure her, taking another bite. "You've outdone yourself, Alessia."

She beams with pride, and you feel a surge of love for this amazing woman who always knows how to make you feel cherished. As you enjoy the delicious meal, you share stories about your day, laughter filling the air and mingling with the clinking of cutlery.

After dinner, you help Alessia clear the table and do the dishes, working together in a comfortable rhythm that speaks to the depth of your bond. When the last dish is dried and put away, you pull Alessia into your arms, swaying gently to the soft music playing in the background.

"Thank you for tonight," you whisper against her hair. "It means the world to me."

She snuggles closer, her arms wrapping around your waist. "Anything for you. I love you."

"I love you too," you reply, your heart full.

As you dance together in the cosy warmth of your home, you know that moments like these – filled with love, laughter, and the simple joy of being together – are the ones you'll cherish forever.
