One simple love bedtime story for kids is about a puppy and a kitten. They were neighbors in a big yard. The puppy would share his bones with the kitten, and the kitten would let the puppy play with her ball of yarn. They loved each other's company so much.

One classic kids quick bedtime story is 'The Three Little Pigs'. Three pigs build different houses - straw, sticks, and bricks. A big bad wolf tries to blow their houses down. Another is 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Goldilocks enters the bears' house and tries their porridge, chairs, and beds. There's also 'Little Red Riding Hood' where a girl goes to visit her grandma and meets a big bad wolf on the way.
One way to make a quick kids bedtime story more interesting is to involve the child. Ask them questions like 'What do you think the character should do next?'. You can also change the ending of the story a bit, make it unexpected. For example, in 'The Three Little Pigs', instead of the wolf getting defeated in the usual way, make it so that the wolf becomes friends with the pigs after learning his lesson. And use lots of descriptive words to paint a vivid picture in the child's mind.
