Unconditional

By Sonia Stanizzo

Alyssa

I was raised to believe that success came from landing a principal role, dancing on stage.

So, I spend my days auditioning for Broadway and my nights-to the disappointment of my parents-dancing in a strip club.

One night, I slip in the rain and a familiar face comes to my rescue.

The pull I feel to him is magnetic, my need for him overwhelming, but he makes it clear he doesn't feel the same.

Over time, I feel like I'm breaking down his walls and forging a connection with him and his daughter, but his past has caused too much damage and now I realize that his love comes with conditions, I know I can't stay.

It's time to follow my dreams. Not the dreams I had forced on me, but the ones that set my soul on fire. It's just a shame my future won't involve Hayden Alessi.

Hayden

My life is simple. I work and I take care of my daughter.

I don't date, and I haven't slept with women for eight years. I've never even been tempted.

Until her.

Alyssa Martinez.

Since the moment I saw her dance, she was all I could think about.

And when I found her injured in the rain, I almost broke, finally getting to touch her.

But the last time I was with a woman, my life changed forever.

And I can't do that again. No matter how much I want Alyssa, she has big dreams and I can't be left here again to be a single dad.

She told me she needs unconditional love, and I don't think I can ever give her that.

I'm scared, but I need her like air.

And when I finally come to my senses, will it be too late to make her stay?
