For Now.

Nicolo hadn’t wanted to stay in Rome with the temperature dropping unusually low for September. But going away meant leaving you and that was one thing he didn’t want. And with the added disadvantage of not having the luxury of going anywhere long distance for such a short trip that wouldn’t be eaten up by travelling, Nicolo didn’t have a whole lot of choice.

“I know it’s still early days, and I completely understand if you think it’s too soon but I’m going to ask anyway.” Nervous had gotten the better of him and he found himself rambling into the question “would you like to come away with me?”

He’d said it wouldn’t be anywhere fancy or with much to do, but you didn’t care too much about the where, more about the “who with”. What you hadn’t anticipated was a cabin style getaway. In an area of several km, woodland was used to create rustic cabins and a mix of traditional camping areas and glamping pods. The pathways were lined with solar powered lights both along the roadsides and through the trees, creating a fairytale-esque look.

The cabin Nicolo had booked was rustic but with a modern twist. The kitchen area was perfectly cottage-like with hidden modern appliances like a dishwasher and an American fridge freezer, and the large classic style clawfoot tub had a beautiful view from the upper windows.

Heating was in the property, but it was basic and sadly for the two of you, you realised that with the hotter months not requiring the heating system being used meant that it now wasn’t working as it should be. There was enough life in the boiler to generate hot water, but not enough power in it to heat up the cabin without it turning off.

Nicolo had retrieved as many of the blankets from the cabin storage, as well as the ones brought in anticipation of a cooler evening. The late afternoon was spent sitting on the porch, watching the sunset through the trees and the animals which scurried along the forest floor. When the temperature dropped low enough to drive the two of you inside, the couch was a welcoming place to retreat to. Big enough for the two of you to sit comfortably, the blankets managed to trap as much of the heat around you and hot drinks added additional warmth within you.

“Why shiver at home with working heating when we can shiver out here in a forest with no heating?” he chuckles as he approaches with a new mug of drink. You happily accept it and give your thanks before placing it on the blanket covering your lap and tuck your hands into the sleeves of one of the hoodies that Nicolo had generously offered, ensuring that your hands don’t get too hot while you hold it.

“I’m still happy to be here with you though.”

“You don’t regret it, even though your teeth were chattering earlier?” He grins at you as he tries to make light of the situation.

“Even if I’ll go home with a cold and silently curse you. I’ve enjoyed spending this time with you.”

“It’s better than a couple of hours here and there back at home.” He nods in agreement before blowing over the surface of his coffee and takes a sip.

“Would you still have come out here if I said no?”

“I might have gone away for the weekend but not somewhere like this. I wanted to be alone with you, where we couldn’t just be pulled back and distracted.”

“I do like having you to myself. I could get used to this.”

“I’ve not put you off yet?” he asks and you shake your head as you make a disagreeing nu-uh sound. “Not even when I take up most of the bed?”

“That’s frustrating, I admit. And your duvet stealing.” you quickly add and he laughs. “But I’m willing to look past those flaws. For now.”

“I’ll take that “for now” and remind you of your doubts when it’s our anniversary.”

“You’re thinking of our first year already?”

“Wedding,” he corrects, “but it’s a start. For now.”
