#3 For you... Only for you I change who I am my love!

Paige: - As the day turned into night, the tension between us grew.

Our eyes met several times, sparks flying between us.

But in the midst of that overwhelming passion, Matthew took me by surprise by asking me if I wanted to be his girlfriend.

I hesitated for a moment, feeling the weight of the decision hanging over me.

I was young, full of dreams and adventures ahead of me.

I didn't want to tie myself down to anyone so soon, especially someone who had habits I didn't support.

Matthew, I already said no, I said, trying to keep the firmness in my voice.

I'm too young to commit. Besides, I don't want to date someone who smokes weed.

Matthew sighed, looking me in the eyes with an intense expression.

Then he hugged me tightly on the bed, his breath warm against my neck.

- For you, I'll change, my love.

I can quit smoking. I can be who you need me to be.

I felt the weight of his words, the love emanating from every gesture and promise he made.

It was tempting to give in, to succumb to the comforting warmth of his embrace and the promises of a future together.

But something inside me resisted.

I knew I couldn't change who he was, just as he couldn't change who I was.

 I wanted to enjoy life, explore new horizons and discover myself without tying myself down to someone else too soon.

- Matthew, I just want to be free. My only love is my joint, and I can’t give that up for anyone, I said, standing firm in my decision.

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes, but also with a quiet understanding.

He knew he couldn’t force me to be something I wasn’t, just as I couldn’t force him to change for me.

Matthew went to his bedroom drawer and took out a gold necklace.

He turned to me and said with emotion:

- Paige, this is for you! I looked at the shiny necklace in his hands and was surprised by the gesture.

- Matthew, this is amazing. It's beautiful, but I can't accept it. This necklace looks very special.

Matthew smiled and looked me in the eyes.

- It belonged to my mother, but now I want you to have it. She passed away, but I know she would be happy to see you wearing it.

I was speechless at Matthew's kindness.

- I'm sorry, I didn't know about your mother. I don't want to keep something so sentimental like that.

Matthew took my hands and looked at me with affection.

- To me, it's as if She's alive, Paige. I'm giving you this necklace because you remind me so much of Her. You are very special to me.

I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to run down my face.

- I don't know what to say, Matthew. Thank you. This is a very beautiful gesture of you.

 He smiled and put the necklace around my neck.

Now you look even more beautiful, if that's possible.

I laughed at the compliment and hugged Matthew tightly.

- You're amazing, you know that?

He looked me in the eyes and whispered:

- I know. And you are the reason for my happiness.

We hugged for a while, enjoying the intimacy of the moment.

Until I let out a nervous laugh and said:

- Are you seriously going to start talking about your mother while we're in bed? This is getting boring, man!

Matthew laughed out loud and touched my face affectionately.

- Sorry, I couldn't resist. But now that we have this special moment, how about we make the most of it?

I smiled and pulled him closer to me. I would love that.

We kissed passionately, forgetting the world outside.

The necklace sparkled around my neck, reminding me of the love and affection Matthew felt for me.

After a while, we separated and lay side by side, catching our breath.

Matthew looked me in the eyes and said softly:

- You are the light of my life, Paige. I don't know what I would do without you.

My heart filled with emotion and gratitude.
