Becca POVSoft morning light peeked through the curtains, casting a gentle glow in Bas’s room. His scent lingered everywhere, wrapping me in familiarity and comfort. As I stirred in his spacious bed, the sheets carried his fragrance, as if he were still beside me. Opening my eyes slowly, I realized he wasn’t beside me once again. Despite his absence, the room felt alive with memories of our time together. The lingering aroma of bacon and pancakes drifted from the kitchen, signaling Bas’s whereabouts. I couldn’t stop the grin from spreading across my face. I had sex with Bas And it was amazing I never imagined he’d be my first, but here I am, grinning like a fool in his bed. He was so gentle and sweet, knowing exactly how to make me feel like I was on cloud nine. My cheeks flush at the memory of how he made me feel last night. I felt a mix of embarrassment and excitement as I buried my head under his blanket, giggling like a fool. “Pull yourself together,” I scolded myself, sittin

Becca POV2 Years Later"One coffee cream coming up!" I announced cheerfully, grabbing a tray with a steaming cup of coffee adorned with cream."Here you go," I said with a wide smile, presenting the cup to the customer."Thanks, Becks," came the grateful response."Anytime, " I replied warmly before returning to the counter."Look at you all grinning," Joe, my boss, remarked, noticing my beaming expression as I walked back."Well, today I get to see a very special someone after two years. What do you expect?" I explained with excitement lacing my voice.Today marked the long-awaited reunion with Ravi and Lola after a two-year absence. I couldn't contain my anticipation, my heart racing with each passing moment. Despite my attempts to focus on work, my gaze kept drifting to the clock, eagerly awaiting the moment of their arrival."And my time's up," I said as I pulled off my apron, the fabric rustling softly. "I'll see you tomorrow."Quickly, I got into my car, my heart racing with an

Bas POV "Finally, back," I murmured as I saw the Hillsville billboard, a mix of relief and anxiety flooding through me. I thought I'd only be gone for a month, but what felt like a month turned out to be two years. Two years of longing to see her face. I missed every beat of her. Her absence felt like torture, and I longed to see her, but I couldn't. Now that I'm back, all I wanted was her. Without thinking twice, I went to see her. The moment our eyes met, it felt like nothing else existed but us. She was as beautiful as ever. I wanted to hug her, kiss her, like my life depended on it, but I froze when I saw the hurt in her eyes. I hurt her. And it broke me. Finally, she looked at me, ignoring me as she walked up to the customers, taking their orders. As she walked back, I couldn't help but step in front of her, blocking her path. I had to talk to her. "Becca," I said in a low whisper. "I... As you can see, I'm busy," she said coldly to me. "Then I'll wait," I said, determ

Becca POV The bright light filtered through my curtains as I gently turned on my bed, a smile spreading across my face as I saw a sleepy Bas beside me.He looked so peaceful when he slept.Being this close to him, I could see every detail of his face, studying him as if I were seeing him for the first time.He was extremely handsome that it made my heart skip again. With gentle fingers, I traced the contours of his face, taking in every curve and line.I couldn’t believe what had happened. It felt like a dream, one I didn’t want to wake up from. But when Bas wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close, I knew it wasn’t a dream.“You should be sleeping,” he murmured, his breath tickling my ear. I couldn’t help but smile. “Well, you can’t blame me… it’s not my fault you’re so handsome,” I teased, earning a sleepy chuckle from him.His embrace tightened, drawing me in as he nestled his chin against the top of my head. We lay there in silence, the only sound the rhythmic beat

Becca POV"Becca? Becca? Rebecca?" I heard my name, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked down and realized I was so engrossed with my thoughts I had completely forgotten about the coffee machine, and thanks to that, coffee spilled all over the floor."Are you okay?" Joe asked as he got some rags to clean the counter, while I scrambled to get the mop stick."You've been spacing out... Look, if you need a day off, I can...""No, Joe, I'm okay. I'm sorry, just got distracted," I said, trying to shake off the feeling of being lost in my thoughts."Okay, but please try not to get distracted again," he said as he walked out of the kitchen.With a sigh, I started cleaning the floor. The truth was, ever since the revelation from Bas, my mind had been a jungle of endless thoughts. There had to be a way, I thought, bringing out my phone. I surfed the internet, hoping for even the slightest clue, but there was none.With a heavy sigh, I retrieved the mop and began cleaning the floor. The

Becca POVI watched in complete shock as Ravi and Naomi sat down at the table, my eyes trailing on her until she was seated. Was this actually real? How did it make sense that the one person Bas had been searching for just suddenly appeared in front of me?Was she really the one? I thought, studying her face carefully. Yes, she had to be. The resemblance was too striking for it to just be some look-alike. I had to find out more.The table was filled with laughter as Ravi told some embarrassing stories. Now was my chance."So, how did you guys meet?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.Their faces both lit up as they stared at each other before looking back at me."We first met in Italy," Ravi began, his eyes twinkling with fond memories. "Mum was having a conference, and she suggested I tag along, and I'm glad I did because I may have never met someone as amazing as you," he said, his hand gently intertwining with Naomi's, their fingers fitting perfectly together."And fast forward three ye

Bas POVI heard his voice, and I knew I should have stayed indoors, but deep down, I knew he would find out about us sooner or later. It was better now than later, so I stepped out. As I walked into the room, our eyes locked, and I could see the anger burning in his gaze, filled with hate and detest. Becca, confused as to why he had stopped talking, turned her face, her expression dropping to fear. Quickly, she turned back to him, trying to explain, but he didn't listen. I watched as she ran after him."Ravi, wait, please..." Becca's voice trembled as she pleaded, but he ignored her, striding ahead."Ravi, would you just hear me out?" She raised her voice, desperation evident in her tone. Ravi stopped abruptly, turning to face her. His expression was a mix of frustration and disappointment. "What is there to hear? I pretty much know it all," Ravi said, his words cutting through the tense air. "Ravi..." Becca's voice dropped to a whisper, her heart pounding so loudly it felt like it
