Love’s complexities unfold as Transporter’s past and present collide chance at redemption, a bouquet of 700 roses, and a heart-wrenching declaration at the airport gate.
Chapter 1: Caged Heart
Transporter leaned against the cold prison wall, the sting of divorce pressing on his chest like a second set of cuffs. The buzz of the correctional facility surrounded him guards barking orders, inmates shuffling in orange but his mind was miles away.
He missed his child. Custody battles had drained him dry. Yet, in the chaos, a spark of hope flickered: a woman he met online. Username: 007.
From the moment he saw her photo, she captivated him. Generous curves, radiant smile, a presence that filled the screen. She wasn’t like anyone he’d known. He longed for something real something intimate.
Chapter 2: Boundaries and Butterflies
Their first date was a quiet standoff in a dim café. She was beautiful, shy but strong. He reached for her hand she pulled back. Her guard was up.
Was it him? Or something deeper?
Despite the walls she kept up, he felt the pull. A connection he couldn’t name but couldn’t ignore.
Days passed. Weeks. Still, she wouldn’t let him kiss her. He respected her space, but the longing grew. And then, one night under city lights, she let go. Their lips met and the world vanished. Her taste, her touch it ignited something in him.
But even passion couldn’t pause real life.
Chapter 3: Running Back to Familiar Ground
His ex’s demands. His child’s pain. The weight of it all became unbearable. He made a choice: return to South Africa his home, his anchor.
It meant leaving 007 behind.
He tried to move on. He met Samantha at a bar sharp, sexy, wild. But she wasn’t 007. She couldn’t fill the hollow place in his heart.
Lying beside Samantha one night, he realized the truth:
He was still in love.
Chapter 4: The Plane Ticket
He sent 007 a message:
“I know things didn’t end the way they should have, but I want you back. Open your door you’ll find a plane ticket under the rug.”
Days passed.
Then her call came.
“I found it,” she said, her voice trembling. “I’m coming.”
Chapter 5: South African Heat
When she stepped off the plane, she stole the air from his lungs. Curves wrapped in a fitted dress, hair cascading like waves. Their eyes met and melted months of silence.
Two weeks of bliss followed. Beaches. Laughter. Late-night whispers. Long mornings tangled in sheets.
And one night on the sand, under the stars, they made love like it was their first time bodies in rhythm, silence filled only with moans and ocean waves.
Chapter 6: The Shatter
Then came the storm.
At a local store, they ran into Samantha. Her flirtation was shameless touching his arm, laughing too loud. 007 watched it all.
“If you want her,” she snapped, eyes glassy, “go be with her. I’m leaving.”
She stormed out.
Chapter 7: 700 Roses
Transporter panicked. He couldn’t lose her. Not again. He raced to the airport, heart pounding.
There she was at the gate. Suitcase at her feet. Eyes red.
Without a word, he stepped forward, holding a massive bouquet:
700 red roses.
Airport staff had shut the gate to give him this moment.
“There is no Samantha,” he said, voice breaking. “There’s only you, 007. I love you. I’ve always loved you. I’m sorry.”
Tears spilled from her eyes.
She stepped forward.
“I love you too,” she whispered.
They kissed deep, desperate, healing. Roses at their feet. The world watching. Time stopped.
Epilogue: The Only One
There was never anyone else.
There was only 007.
And as they held each other at Gate 32, Transporter knew:
This time, he wouldn’t let her go.
