This man I had fallen for, eyes wide open.
This man who was nothing like what I had wanted for myself.
This fierce man who was the only one for me.
My family.
“You make my heart go pitty-pat. Did you know that?
“Hmmm. I do?”
I leaned down and kissed his lips once, slowly, sweetly.
One of my hands resting on his neck, I spoke my next words into his ear. “I am in love with you, madly, desperately, irrevocably.” Biting my lip, I caressed his cheek and moved my eyes over every beautiful inch of his face, memorizing the look in his eyes, the shape of his lips. “I will make you happy too, Jack Hawthorne,” I whispered, and I rested my forehead against his as we looked into each other’s eyes. “I will do everything to make you happy for the rest of our days. I will never let you go. I will never give up on you, on us.”
THE END.
