Italian word

storia

history; story; relationship (colloquial)

Looks like

story

a narrative; a tale

⚠️ The trap

'Storia' means history AND story AND (colloquially) a romantic relationship. 'Sto con lui da due anni' or 'abbiamo una storia' means 'we're in a relationship'. English 'story' does not carry this relationship meaning.

To say "a narrative; a tale" in Italian:

storia (covers both history and story)

"storia" in English means:

history; story; relationship (colloquial)

Example

"Ho una storia con lui da due anni."

"I've been in a relationship with him for two years."
