Hey! I'm back :)
This is pretty much out of the blue, but it is a sequel to Time, so if you haven't read that one yet, I suggest you go to my profile and read it (and review!)
As always, I don't own anything, and it's Stewart and Grey 'kay?
Enjoyyyy!
A couple were walking up the street hand in hand, with small smiles tugging at the corners of their lips. The girl held on to her boyfriend's arm to prevent herself from slipping over in the high heels which she was wearing.
"Thanks again for taking me out tonight baby, I had a really nice time."
"Hey, no problem. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't take my beautiful girlfriend out on our official one year anniversary?"
"That may be so, but I'm still really grateful you know. Not that many guys even remember anniversaries, so, just because I have one that does, makes me so much more happier. And plus, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect night. You, me and a hot air balloon ride- it was perfect. And so are you."
Tightening her grip on his hand, the girl pulled him to her front porch and leaned up to give him a kiss. He responded slowly at first, but soon quickened his pace, as his natural male instincts took over.
"Spend the night," the girl stated, neither a request nor a question. Once again, the boy hesitated but placed his hand in her brunette hair.
"For you? Ok."
The girl then led him inside, and they left their jackets on the back on the sofa, and settled down to watch a movie, after choosing a drink and a snack from her kitchen.
Wrapping his arm around her, the boy convinced himself that he was happy, and allowed her to rest her head in the crook of his neck.
However, only ten minutes into the film, the boy felt a vibration coming from his pocket. Easing his arm gently off of his girlfriend, he stood up and walked outside to the patio to take the call.
"Hey bro," the boy answered pleasantly, shocking himself. Why did he feel relief to be away from his girlfriend who was just in the other room?
"Hey man, how are you?"
"I'm alright thanks dude. I'm just –"
"Round her house again?" The brother replied.
"Well, it is our one year anniversary that you are interrupting you know?"
"Then why are you even picking up the phone? Get back in there and show her you love her!"
"Right." He answered definitively.
"I'll speak to you later bro. Call me tomorrow and let me know how the date ended up."
"Sure, will do Joe. Speak to you later."
Slowly closing his phone, the boy made his way back into the room where his girlfriend was giggling at the screen playing in front of her. He took a moment to admire her features while she was unaware of his presence. She was strikingly beautiful, and he knew this. He didn't expect any thing else coming into his mind, because of the way that everyone else reacted when they saw her.
Her blue eyes would sparkle when the sunlight hit them in a particular way, and her hair would wrap around his fingers like they were meant to be entwined with each other. But why was it that when the boy looked at her now, he only noticed her beauty and not the million other small things that came along with her.
At first their relationship was based on expressing how much they loved each other, and how they couldn't wait to see each other next.
The boy used to be happy to answer his phone at two in the morning when she called him just to say that she missed him. But now every time that he heard his ring tone interrupting his sleep, he couldn't help but resent the girl, and wish she'd leave him alone once in a while.
He could sense that the relationship was coming to an end almost every week. And he had the excuse set up- 'he needed to go out and explore the world without being tied down at the age of 18'.
But then, she'd turn around and surprise him again, and make it feel like the first time they had fallen in love, and all previous thoughts of separation would leave his mind. Coming to his age, he couldn't help but feel if staying with this girl was for the best. Their road hadn't been an easy one, and he had come close to saying 'Goodbye' a few times.
But like any man, he felt better to know that there was one girl that he could call his own, and to know that she would not be anyone else's 'baby' either.
Making his way back over to the couch, the boy settled himself back into his earlier seat before the girl pulled his arm around her again.
"Anything wrong?"
"No, it was just Joe checking in."
"Ok baby. Do you know, I'm still so shocked that it's been a year already. We've been through so much together, but like I always say, there isn't anyone else that I'd rather share my life with, because I love you now, and I'll love you for always."
At that statement, Nick's heart broke for two reasons. "Yeah, I agree sweetie. There isn't anyone else I'd rather share my time with."
"I never thought I'd find happiness this young, but I knew from the first moment that we knew each other that we would be together for the rest of our lives, and that it was you that I wanted to see at the end of the aisle. You're perfect," she whispered.
"You too," he replied, once again with hesitation in his voice. "Shall we finish the movie now?" He added, wanting to end the awkwardness that he now felt seep through his body.
"Yeah, just one more thing though. I love you Nick." She said whilst leaning up and gazing into his eyes.
With slight hesitation, Nick responded, "I love you too Rachel."
SHOCKER!!!
