We ate, laughed and were now watching the sun go down as we sat around the fire. It sure was a beautiful night.
Everything was turning out perfect.
“Do you want to go inside?”. He asked.
My stomach danced, the butterflies rising. Not with nerves but excitement.
“Five more minutes”. I smiled while gazing at the last of the sun. I hadn’t watched the sun go down in forever. It was something my gran and I used to do. Our Friday night treat.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”.
“It really is”. I turned to face him. “Thank you”.
“For what?”. He frowned.
“For everything”.
“Babe-..”.
“I didn’t think we were ever going to make it here”.
He reached over taking my hand in his. “We were always going to make it baby. Me and you remember”.
“I wasn’t so sure”. I brushed my thumb over his knuckles. “I always thought I wasn’t good enough for you and-…”
“I’m going to stop you right there”. He cut me off. “If anything, I’m not good enough for you. I put you through so much shit and you’re still here.Visit Job n1 b .co m to read the complete chapters for free. I fucked up so many times and yet you stayed. You came back to me”.
“Because I love you and I believe in what we have”. Our lives together hadn’t started yet, we had barely scratched the surface.
“And I love you, so fucking much”. He brought my hand to his lips, placing a soft kiss upon my knuckles.
“Don’t get me wrong you made me so mad at times”.
“I have that effect”. He smirked. “I’m kidding. I meant what I said, my goal is to make you happy and keep making you happy”.
“I like that goal”. I grinned.
“Yeah?”. His grinned matched mine.
I nodded, a yawn escaping my mouth. The sun had finally set, the coolness of the air setting in.
“Tired?”.
“Not yet”. I smiled.
“Do you want to go inside?”.
I stepped out into the bathroom and grabbed another towel for my hair. I would towel dry it and let it dry naturally. Opening the bathroom door, I almost jumped a foot in the air.
Jake hadn’t moved. He was stood opposite. Phone in one hand and a beer in the other.
“Have you been out here this whole time?”. I picked up my bag.
“Are you sure you’re, okay?”. He put his phone away.
“I feel different but I think it’s the moon”.
“It’s not fully risen yet princess. That doesn’t happen until later, but it can still affect you”.
“Yeah, I’ve noticed”. I still felt a little shaky. Like the feeling you get when you haven’t eaten all day.
“Please talk to me. It’s better that we’re open and honest. Especially tonight”.
Another thing he was right about. He knew all about this, he was the one that had been waiting his whole life for it to happen. It was just sprung on me. I had to take his feelings and thoughts into consideration.
This wasn’t just about me.
