Mila Valentino X Isaac Martinez
"I've loved you since I was six, Isaac," I say, my voice cracking as the words leave my mouth. Tears blur my vision, but I don't bother wiping them away. What's the point?
He stands there, just staring at me silently.
"I remember the first day I saw you, when you came here with your grandma." I take a shaky breath, trying to keep it together, but I can feel myself slipping. "It's always been you. Only you."
His eyes drop to the ground.
My heart pounds harder in my chest. I'm not even sure what I want from him anymore-his love, or just a damn reaction.
"You ruined everything for me" I say, louder now, each word tasting like blood.
"My standards for men. My ability to move on. Every single time I'm with someone else, Isaac, I think of you. I compare everyone I meet with you because no one in this fucking world can replace the way I feel for you."
His jaw tightens. His fingers twitch, like he wants to say something but he doesn't. He just nods. Like he already made peace with hurting me and I hate that.
"I can't love you back, Mila" he finally murmurs.
His voice is low "I'm not like the other men in your life. I don't own luxury cars. My future isn't stable-"
I cut him off, stepping closer. My chest is heaving now, the pain bubbling to the surface.
"I don't love you for any of that." My voice rises, tears spilling freely down my cheeks.
"I love you because of who you are, Isaac. Because of your stupid sarcasm. Because of the way you take care of everyone except yourself. Because you make me feel like I'm home even when everything's falling apart."
"I love you, Isaac. I love you for you." There's a silence between us that feels like a knife to the lungs.
"I don't care if you can't afford a fancy car or promise me some fairytale future," I whisper.
"I just want you." I sound like a desperate bitch right now.
