A MAN TO HEAL

chapter twenty seven

POV Suki

I look at my cousin putting my sport bag in the car's trunk as I pull Alessio closer to me by both his hands

I lift myself on my toes as he leans forward for us to kiss

" Take good care of yourself okay? " He says to me as he tucks a rebel strand of hair behind my ear

I nod with a smile

" And you better call me everyday " I warn him, pointing my index finger at his chest

He laughs softly, I love when he is laughing

And he's been doing this more often now

I'm proud to know that I'm the reason of that

" I'll fake work teleconference calls with you everyday so I can find an excuse to do it at anytime of the day when I can't no longer pull my worried boyfriend card anymore "

Now that's my turn to laugh

" Your worried boyfriend card is unlimited, don't worry about that "

He leans forward and kisses me again, longer this time, and I wrap my arms around his neck, kissing him back deeply

Am I considered a hoe to enjoy those two men's kisses ? They don't kiss the same way, yet I love them both

Jimin is more devastator, Alessio more sweet

They both can awaken different facets of me

" Eww! Find yourself a room " my cousin says as he sits on the driver's seat

We ignore him, but I simply giggle a little while Alessio groans as a protest

" I'll miss you " I whisper to him

" I'll miss you more, life is no longer fun without you "

I chuckle as I blush

" I'll call you and I'll make you laugh so hard everyday that you won't feel like we're apart "

" I should be the one making you laugh, you're the one stressed here "

I arch an eyebrow

" What kind of joke you can pull out to make me laugh though? Outdated Dad jokes ? " I say teasingly

He blushes

" Stop ! I can ask Elena to teach me some gen z jokes "

I laugh softly, amused

There's this thing, when I'm with him, he makes me feel so good that I can even feel my feelings growing for him

Everything is perfect when I just focus on him

But then, there is that one troublemaker...

I better not talk about him

I can live happily with Alessio, and that's what I'm going to do

After all, what can I do when he chose to go back to his fiancée anyway

" Don't worry, I'll laugh harder than you in my jokes anyway "

" You definitely will " he agrees

" Yes, it's cause I'm the funniest person in the world " I say, acting proud

" Yes mia cara, you are "

I stroke his cheek gently with a smile

" Good bye then " I say to him

" Have a good trip " he responds

He then opens the car door for me and I take the passenger seat next to my cousin's
