As the girl was about to step out the door, she suddenly heard her name being called from behind. She turned around, and to her surprise, there he was, running towards her with a huge smile on his face. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight shoulder hug, not letting her go. "Where do you think you're going without saying goodbye?" Matheo exclaimed, his voice filled with playful indignation.

Jane couldn't help but giggle at his infectious energy. "I need to study math!" she replied, trying to sound serious but failing to hide her amusement.

"Come to my house, I'll help you with that math, and we can turn it into a sleepover! You won't feel lonely this weekend," he suggested, his eyes twinkling with excitement and mischief. He looked dead serious, as if he had planned this all along.

At first, she hesitated, unsure about going to his house. But he wasn't about to give up. "We'll just swing by your place, grab your stuff for two days, and then we'll head over to mine. Plus, my dad has some important business and won't be home. It'll be perfect!"

Her smile grew wider as she considered his proposition. With a nod and a newfound sense of excitement, she took his hand, and together they made their way to his car.

Matheo swung open the door, and both Jane and Matheo stepped into his house. Jane couldn't help but be amazed by the well-decorated space. It seemed like Matheo's father had a talent for constantly sprucing up the place, keeping it fresh and modern, changing the furniture every few weeks.

Jane felt the warmth of Matheo's embrace as his strong hands enveloped her. She leaned into his touch, feeling a sense of comfort and security. Resting his chin on her shoulder, Matheo whispered in her ear, "I'm starving! How about you make me something while I slip into comfy clothes?"

Jane playfully eyed him and couldn't help but smile. "What do you feel like eating?" she asked, her eyes sparkling.

She could feel his smirk from behind, and just as he was about to answer, she cut him off with a teasing warning, "Don't you dare say something dirty!"

Matheo chuckled, his voice filled with playful defiance, "You know I love dares!"

Jane raised an eyebrow, a glint in her eyes. "Your last dare cost quite a bit in the past, but you're lucky you've got me!"

Matheo tightened his hug, pulling her even closer to him. "Don't feel so big!" he teased, his voice filled with affection.

Jane couldn't help but burst into laughter at his remark, her joy echoing through the room. She playfully escaped from his embrace, leading the way to the kitchen, while Matheo headed upstairs to change.

Jane strode into the kitchen, ready to whip up a delicious treat. After some thought, she settled on a classic favorite: pesto pasta.

Matheo has a deep love for Italian cuisine because his mother was Italian. Although they didn't get to spend much time together, her boyfriend cherishes the memories of his mother's cooking. Their parents divorced when he was younger, and his mother chose to stay in the country with her sister instead of returning to Italy.  He also shared that his relationship with his father is not very close, as his father rarely comes home...

Pesto pasta, with its vibrant flavors and simple preparation, it was the perfect choice for a quick and satisfying meal. As the pasta cooked to perfection, she eagerly tossed it with the fragrant green sauce, ensuring that each strand was coated in its delightful goodness. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan and a garnish of basil leaves added the finishing touches. With a satisfied smile, Jane knew she had created a dish that would please even the most discerning palates. The pesto pasta was a testament to her culinary prowess and a delightful treat for all to enjoy.

As she carried the plates upstairs, Matheo seemed to be taking forever to come down. She knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. Curiosity getting the best of her, she entered the room and found her boyfriend holding his shirt in his hand.

Their eyes met as she approached, offering him his plate. He grabbed a chair and sat across from her, casually tossing his shirt aside. With a grateful smile, he accepted the plate and took a bite.

"Well, you certainly took your sweet time, mister," Jane playfully teased as she started to enjoy her meal.

Matheo chuckled at her adorable impatience and took a bite of his food. The flavors exploded in his mouth, leaving him speechless for a moment. Finally, he managed to utter, "Wow, this is beyond delicious!"

Jane's smile widened, her heart swelling with pride at his reaction. They continued to eat, their conversation flowing effortlessly.

As they finished their meal, Matheo rose from his seat, ready to retrieve his shirt. But before he could reach it, Jane swiftly snatched it away, a mischievous glimmer in her eyes. Matheo couldn't help but smirk at her playful antics.

"Miss Jane?" he addressed her in a mock formal tone.

"Yes, Mr?" Jane replied, matching his playful tone.

"My shirt?" Matheo extended his hand towards her, pretending to be serious.

"I'm quite enjoying the view right now!" Jane teased, attempting to conceal the shirt behind her back.

With a gleam in his eyes, Matheo closed the distance between them, trapping Jane between his arms. Their laughter filled the room, creating a symphony of joy and love.

Jane darted away. They raced through the house, their laughter echoing off the walls as they chased each other. Their playful pursuit led them to the indoor pool, where Jane sought refuge.

Jane's laughter echoed through the air as she playfully ran around the pool, teasing Matheo with her infectious energy. "You won't catch me!" she giggled.

"Bet?" he responded, his voice laced with playful competitiveness.

Just as Matheo was about to catch Jane, she swiftly moved away, causing him to lose his balance and fall into the cool, refreshing pool. Water splashed around him as he resurfaced, his hair dripping with droplets of liquid. Jane couldn't contain her laughter, finding sheer joy in Matheo's playful mishap.

Jane sat on the edge of the sparkling pool, her legs dipped into the water. Matheo, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, approached her, standing right between her legs, their bodies so close they could feel the warmth radiating from each other. They locked eyes, and the world around them faded away. As her fingers delicately tangled in his wet hair, their eyes locked in a deep, meaningful gaze.

In that moment, time seemed to stand still as they were captivated by each other's presence. Matheo's hands gently rested on Jane's waist, drawing her closer to him. Their hearts beating in sync, their breaths becoming intertwined. It was as if their souls were communicating through their eyes, revealing emotions that words could never fully express.

They say that eyes are the windows to the soul, and in that moment, their eyes revealed a love that words could never express. It was a love that spoke volumes, a love that transcended the boundaries of time and space. And as they basked in the warmth of their gaze, they knew that this love was something truly extraordinary.
                   Yes, eyes never lie...

In that magical moment, Matheo and Jane found themselves in a world of their own, where time seemed to stand still. As they gazed into each other's eyes, a magnetic force drew them closer, their breaths intertwining.

And then, their lips met in a tender kiss that sent waves of pure bliss through their bodies. In that moment, they became lost in each other, forgetting the world around them.

As their lips parted, Matheo's gaze intensified, filled with a potent mix of desire and adoration.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." he whispered, his voice laced with sincerity as he peered deep into her soul, his eyes reflecting the depth of his feelings.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't help but reciprocate, her heart overflowing with love. "I love you," she confessed, her words punctuated by a tender kiss. Her hands, entwined in his black silked hair, caressed him gently, savoring the softness beneath her fingertips.

But just as the intensity of their connection reached its peak, Matheo playfully seized the moment, scooping her up and plunging her into the cool embrace of the pool. A mischievous smile danced across his face as he watched her reaction.

"Hey!" she exclaimed, looking down at her drenched clothes with a mixture of surprise and amusement.

"I love you too!"

"I'm all wet now!" She said fake crying.

Matheo, unable to resist a teasing remark, raised an eyebrow and quipped, "Oh, really? How much 'wet'?"

Caught off guard for a moment, she blinked, processing. Realizing his playful intent, a mischievous sparkle ignited in her eyes. Without missing a beat, she retaliated, splashing him with water.

With a firm grip on her hands, Matheo closed the distance between them, lifting her up in a bridal-style embrace. They emerged from the pool...
