Epilogue
ROSA
We’ve been together—officially—for a little more than four months.
At the beginning, when we started doing this whole fake dating thing, I didn’t think it would lead here.
I really thought we’d be spending our time left on Earth despising each other.
But he’s too good in bed, so there wasn’t any other choice.
But that wasn’t the only reason I fell in love with him. How much of a woman I can be next to him. How it feels to be truly loved, to be worshiped. I didn’t think I’d be able to find such a good soul, who’s not only handsome but single too.
I always tell him how happy and grateful I am to have him in my life. He supports me endlessly, not afraid to appear vulnerable in front of me, buys me books, listens to me and loves me like no one did before. Sometimes I get emotional just thinking about how lucky I am.
My phone suddenly starts to ring, and I’m pulled back into reality.
“Buenos días, carino. I have bad news and good news. Which one first?”
“Starting strong. Alright, bad one first.”
“They canceled my flight. I won’t arrive on time tomorrow.”
“Teo… It’s my birthday tomorrow.”
“I know, mi chica, but the connecting flight got canceled. And I already called Ryan, but he said there’s no available jet for tomorrow.” He lets out a long sigh. Something feels off, but I hope everything’s okay.
“I’m not happy, but I hope you arrive safely.” I sigh, too. I waited for this day. I was excited, but it seems like there’s nothing to do. I just wish he would arrive as soon as possible.
“Yeah, I’ll hurry, I promise. And the good news is, I’ll make it up to you. I’ll sweep you off your feet.” I can practically see the smile on his face now.
“It better be worth my time,” I joke. Now, I barely even care about his surprise, just give me him and I’ll have fun. “Are you still in the hotel then?”
“Yeah. Still here. Why do you ask?”
“I know a way you can make it up to me now,” I smirk, and I hear him chuckle. My phone buzzes and I click on the green button. He switched to video chat. Now I can see him, and he’s only in his boxers. “Were you waiting for me to ask this?”
“No. I was just chilling here, you know.” Liar. I can see his smirk, which only turns me on more.
“Surely. So you wouldn’t mind if I started chilling in my panties, too?” I ask coyly, although I’m about to be anything but shy now. I hear a groan, and I take that as a yes.
I see him get comfortable on the bed, and I move away from the camera. I start to peel my shirt off slowly. I like to tease him; he deserves it. I take even more time to reveal my boobs, his favorite pillows.
“Rosa…” My nipples get instantly hard by the way he says my name. I love every sound he lets out of that dirty mouth.
“Look.” I grab my phone and guide it to the room’s window.
It’s huge, you can see almost the whole city from here.
Now that it’s night, it’s even more beautiful.
“We could have sex here. And here. And here too.” I point to various places in the room while I’m standing in the giant window, only in my panties, striking some poses, so he knows what he’s missing out on right now.
“Get in bed, Rosalia. I don’t like you showing off your perfect little body exposed like that,” he commands, and I obey with a smile on my face. I knew that would set him off.
“Yes, sir.” I settle into bed and put my phone down just far enough that he can still see me clearly and make sure I won’t kick it down during the spectacular orgasm I am going to have in a couple of minutes.
“You have that toy I bought you?” I nod. I pull it out from the nightstand and show it to the camera. “Panties off and put it in.” I obey, again. We like to switch roles from time to time, but I don’t mind that he’s the one taking control. And that toy comes in handy.
I settle back against the pillows, only a faint light glowing in the room. I see his video turn off for a minute, then I feel a light buzz in my stomach. God bless whoever invented this phenomenon. I see his face appear in front of the camera again with a remote in his left hand.
I can see the bulge under the sexy black boxers, but I can’t appreciate the sight for too long, because he slips out of them with a quick move, and my eyes get blessed with a very hard cock instead. I moan at the sight, and I hear him growl.
“Spread your legs, mi diosa. I want to see you.” I do as he says, and he moans at the sight. My cheeks are flushed, and I’m already wet, waiting for his next move. “Show me how you’d want me to touch you.”
This man is going to be the death of me. I feel the buzzing speed up a little, in a motion that could make me burst any second. He knows which one I like, that little devil. I start to play with my hard nipples, focusing on the sensation that the toy is giving me.
It speeds up again, and I let out a whimper, feeling the warmth starting to spread through me. I slowly drag my hand down my body, and I start to rub my aching clit. I see him watching me, mesmerized by every move. He takes his cock in his hand and matches my painfully slow movements.
“God… I miss you so much, Teo,” I say between groans and sighs. Give me a distraction, or I’ll finish right now, right here.
“Yeah? I bet you miss my mouth on your body, don’t you, amor?” Fuck. Not a distraction at all. My belly clenches and I whimper again. I see him fasten his hand movements, so I do the same.
“I’m not going to last too long like this, chico.” I am a mess of moans, whimpers, and sighs. My body feels like it’s on fire, and he’s not even physically touching me.
“Already? You’re not gonna leave me for a toy, are you?” We both chuckle, and it eases my sudden burst of warmth a little. He doesn’t let me linger on too long, making the toy speed up, and I let out a gasp. “Fuck, Rosa, you’re so goddamn beautiful.”
He lets his head fall back and moves his hands faster on his shaft.
I start to clench the sheets and rub my clit faster.
I imagine him eating me out, how he’s so good with his tongue swirling around my swollen pussy, all while thrusting his fingers inside me, relentlessly, until he’s made sure I ride out the highs of pleasure.
“Teo, I’m so close.” I’m back to being a melted puddle as I hear him moan my name.
To think that I’m doing this to him, I’m the one making him groan, making his cock hard, all without being able to touch me, is just boosting my ego in the right way.
I bite my lip to stop from screaming, because a moaning, whimpering Mateo coming in his hotel bed, his cum glistening all over his stomach and hands, is all I need to fly me to Disneyland.
I cry out and scream his name into the pillow, hoping that I don’t have neighbors within a radius of 300 feet, otherwise I might get kicked out from here.
When I come down, I see him lying on the bed, spread out like a starfish, sweat glistening on his muscles and face flushed. I chuckle at how similar we look right now, and when he lifts his head, I’m met with that loving stare that fills my stomach with butterflies.
I hear him speak up after a little while. “I say we practice video chat sex more.” He smirks at me, and I laugh.
“I hope we don’t have to.” I really don’t understand how one person can fall in love so deeply. How can they crave another person’s presence so much, to see them, to feel them? It almost hurts now. “I’ll go take a shower. See you tomorrow, then?”
“I’ll be there as soon as I can. I love you.”
“I love you, too.” We hang up, and I head to the bathroom for a quick shower.
After I finish, it doesn’t take me long to fall into a deep slumber.
—
Next morning, I hear a knock on the front door.
“Room service!” A voice calls out, and I get out of bed to open it.
“Room service? I didn’t even—” As I open the door, Lana jumps into my arms, her smile reaching the rooftop.
“Bestie!” She almost screams, deafening me for a second. “I have plans. You ready?”
“Do I seem like it? I basically just woke up.”
“Okay, Miss Grumpy, get dressed because we’re going to the beach.” I groan, but she starts to pull me toward the closet.
“Lana, I’d really rather just stay here and wait for Teo.”
“What’s with you today?” She eyes me skeptically.
“I didn’t sleep well. I fell asleep easily, but then I kept waking up. I was having some existential thoughts, like a winner.” She looks at me with a confused expression.
“Alright, suck it up. Come on. Put on this cute outfit.” I roll my eyes but I do as she says. I know she won’t let me go until I obey her.
When she finishes getting me ready for the beach, we head outside.
“Isn’t this a little bit too much makeup for the beach?” I ask, frowning. I like light makeup.
“Babe, you look fabulous. Stop complaining.”
As we’re getting closer to the beach, I see people sunbathing, some swimming, and there’s even a dog playing with kids. It’s not crowded and it has a beautiful view. As the sand reaches my toes, I spot a big red heart in the distance.
“Oh, look! I think someone’s getting proposed today! That’s so cute.” I melt at the sight. It might seem a bit too much, but the fact that it’s on a beautiful beach with really not many people around is just perfect.
“Yeah. It is.” She’s grinning from ear to ear. We love seeing people in love.
“Lucky her.” As we get closer, I spot a path with—most probably—rose petals that leads to the guy standing at the end in front of the giant heart. “Maybe someday.”
Lana laughs, and I look at her frowning, muttering a ‘what’ question. “Oh, I don’t know, it just looks an awful lot like your dream proposal.” She’s right! Someone has just as a good taste as me. Nice job.
Wait a damn minute. Now that I inspect it from closer, that guy… Is that Mateo? I let out a scream and look at Lana, who nudges me toward him. I run into his arms, and he kisses me deeply while holding me close. It takes a minute until we break the kiss, almost panting.
“Hi.” He gives me the cutest smile I’ve ever seen on this Earth.
“This is for you. Happy birthday.” He gives me the bouquet, which is a mix of white lilies and red roses.
My two favorites. I lean forward to hug him, but he gets down on one knee, pulls a little black box out of his pocket, and tears start to swell up in my eyes.
“Mateo…” I don’t even know what to say. I just stand there trying not to say anything stupid.
“Rosa. This is the place where we met, when you spilled your water on me back then in a hotel. I didn’t know that a couple drops of water would change my life forever.
It hasn’t even been a year since then, and it might seem soon, but I won’t get any younger.
You are the love of my life, the only one I want.
” His voice cracks, and he opens the box.
I can’t even begin to describe how perfect the ring is. It’s not extravagant, just simple and beautiful. The rock in the middle is red, and I know he chose that because that’s his color. He made it personal.
“I want to make you happy. I want to be there for you, not just as a friend but also as your husband. I want to give you everything. And I promise you that I’ll love you until my very last breath. Rosalia Dawson, will you marry me?”
I nod my head vigorously, and I can only whisper a small ‘yes’ between sobs. He pulls the ring on my finger and lifts me up into his arms. He spins around, kissing and laughing while doing so. This is the best day of my life.
I’m going to marry my best friend. The one I thought I’d never really get along with. The one I didn't even anticipate meeting. I'm at a loss for words.
“I love you, amor,” I say after he puts me down and rests his forehead on mine.
“I love you too, carino.”
