《First Love》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Enjoying my breakfast, I watched my wife scurry around the house making sure I had everything I needed. She tended to overly worry herself about me. It’s been that way even when we first started dating in college. I wish she would quit worrying and sit with me. After all I’m going to gone for a month.
“Veronica won’t you join me this fine morning? It’ll be our last meal together for quite a while.”
“I wish to, but your flight is in two hours and I need to be sure you haven’t forgot anything.”
“Nothing gets past or forgotten by yours truly.” I stated pointed my fork to the sky.
“Well ‘yours truly’ what about Valentines, your latest doctor’s appointment, and my birthday. Those are just a few of the many events you’ve ‘never forgotten’”.
“The evidence is mounting I suppose. Let’s forget all that for now. All that matters is the present. A present where I can sit and bask in the presence of my beautiful wife.”
“A few minutes wouldn’t hurt.” She said shrugging her shoulders and taking a seat besides me to enjoy the breakfast she had made. Her beauty was striking. Luscious brown hair that rolled down her back and a well-tanned complexion covered her curved body. Both felt like the fine silk they appeared to be, yet no matter how much I felt I always longed for my hands to repeat their motions. It was in early winter that I truly held the warm silk in my grasp. The snow falling outside pushed us together that moonless night and it was unlike any of the other times before. Laying there in each other’s arms, I was lost in her dark eyes. I can never forget her black eyes. Many find black to be a dull color, but her eyes strayed far from that path. They were fill with much more life then the next thousand pairs I would see. Her passion, love, and joy were overflowing every time I gazed upon them and I couldn’t help but grin.

“Must you leave?” She asked. “Why can’t the company send someone else abroad?”
“They could’ve but I was Alan’s first pick.”
“What about me? What of your child?”
“You two are why I took the job. The bonus I’m getting from it is all for you and him.”
“They’re actually a her. I’m sure I told you before James.”
“Yes, quite right. I can be forgetful at times.”
“I’m very much aware dear, but I love you regardless.” She assured me with a kiss. “Now did you pack enough socks?”
“Is none enough?”
She sighed before leaving towards the bedroom. I’m still surprised she married a forgetful simpleton like me. That she even allowed me to propose when I did amazes me. When was that again?

The entry exams were hard enough. Now you have to survive at UA! What happens when you meet Todoroki, Bakugo and Deku? Who will you choose?Will include smut‼️(The first three chapters are setting up the characters. Then it splits off like a choose your own adventure story where you get to choose who you end up with rather than all together)Will try to update weekly or maybe more. I only started Todoroki so far, so updates won't be one storyline at a time, but all three. It might one day say 60 parts. Just know, it's really only 20 for each story line.
