"This is the end"

I look at Samantha who has now pulled her sunglasses on covering her face, I promised her that we would meet up and talk about our relationship and I am very much a man of my word.

So when she texted me asking to meet up I agreed, when she asked that we meet up at the same cafe we reconnected in when she moved to London all those years back I agreed. Knowing that she was just trying to gulit me into thinking about our memories and our relationship together in hopes that I would reconsider our relationship.

Did that work? Hell no. It made me laugh that's for sure.

Truth be told, I always knew me and Samantha were not end game. We met when I was very young so I clearly was not dating to marry and I still am not dating to marry. I am literally twenty years old yes I am a very well accomplished, intelligent, incredibly super sexy and amazing guy but I am still twenty.

I would not be my mothers son if I did not belive in true love, 'the one', soulmates and all that cheesy love stuff. While my twin brother is way more romantic than me and strongly whole heartdly breathes love, I am the more reserved one.

I am romantic and I believe in love. I do love Samantha, I am not in love with her anymore but she will always be my first love. I am always going to cherish her and our relationship but it has to end.

"It is the end" I say making her nod as she stirs her coffee, "No way to change your mind?" I smile at her as I lean back in my chair. "Samantha Pinto" Even though I can not see her eyes I know she is rolling her eyes right now which makes me shake my head.

"Sammie ever since we were young I have always wanted to best for you, I still want the best for you" I say as I lean forward as she wipes under eyes. "You are quite literally the best man for any woman" She sighs as she sniffs and rests her hand on her head.

"Yes that is factual Sammie but I am not the best option for you." I take her hand and squeeze as I continue, "You want to settle down and move to the countryside" I explain. "I am not ready to settle down and I definitely do not want to move to the countryside"

"That's fine-"

"Stai zitta Samantha e smettila con queste sciocchezze" She smiles at me as she takes off her sunglasses. Her eyes are a pinkish red due to her crying, Sammie got botox and lip filler so although her facial expression is neutral right now I know she is hurt.

"This is so much worse before because we're doing this on good terms" She sighs as she tries to frown but her face just will not allow it, I don't even know how to explain her facial expression now right now.

"I know but you want to settle down and I don't. Sooner or later you will realize this is for the best" I say making her roll her eyes, "Okay Alejandro the Great philosopher enough with the whole it's for the best thing" She says as she smiles making me smile.

"Always. I will always love you so much" She says as she sniffs and wipes her eyes that have filled with tears. "I love you too Sammie" I say as I sit up. "I know you probably don't want to hear this" I say as I pull out my phone.

"But there is this great guy named Charles, he works for me as my president of events for Better. I think you two should get in contact and go on a date"

I click on Charles's contact info and share it with Sammie. "So you break up with me and then try to put me on with your worker?" She asks as I look at her.

"He is also looking to settle down and move to the countryside, he is also a year older than you, he makes mid six figures, he has a provider mindset and I can go on and on"
