have pulled the trigger before, but I needed you so bad. I missed that." I rolled over as he lay on top of me. I leaned up as kissed him softly. He looked at me and started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"I totally just fucked one of your falsies off."
Reaching up to feel my face, sure enough he was right. Turning my head, I saw it on the bed with a long mascara smear leading up to it. "So you did. I need to go take my makeup off anyway." He rested his head on my chest and I began stroking his head. "Thank you for bringing me with you. Thank you for coming back to me." I felt tears start to come to the surface. I tried to push them back.
He moved so that he was laying on his side, still close to me. He took my hand in his and looked intently at me. "Char, I love you. No one has ever made me feel what you have. You've given me you and that's more than I ever thought I could have. We've pushed each other away, but somehow we always end up back where we belong. You've become like my gravity. I spent so long trying to fight it, afraid to get hurt. But, each time I felt like I was losing a part of me. I'm whole when I'm with you."
The tears I was trying to hold back burst through. He pulled me to his chest and wiped them away. "That's what scared me so much. It's like I loved you before I even knew you. I know it's impossible, but it feels like we're soulmates. Once I started falling for you, I knew I was doomed. There was no going back, which is why I pushed you away. I didn't want to fall further than I already did. I love you, Jack. Honestly, I have for a long time. I thought love was black or white, but you've brought so much color into my life. I feel safe and complete when you're by my side. I feel unstoppable."
"You are unstoppable, baby."
CHAPTER SEVEN
YOU ARE THE BEST THING
Jack
Six months later...
We stood in my kitchen on a Sunday morning. Ray LaMontagne's You Are The Best Thing played on the Bose as we made pancakes and bacon. It had been almost six months since Charlotte moved in with me. It had been the best six months of my life. We were both busy at work again, but winter was slow for both of us and we made the best of it. We took a few mini road trips. She got a really bad sinus infection and ended up on antibiotics, which landed us where we are right now. She had on my t-shirt and I could see the beginning of a bump starting to form. My heart swelled seeing her, the future mother of my son or daughter. It was an unexpected surprise. We thought it was a case of food poisoning until we realized the antibiotics canceled out her birth control. To me, she always had a glow about her, but now it was undeniable. It brought me back to the night at the beach. The same beach where I started winning her back. The same beach I proposed to her at.
"Jack, you know I don't feel good. It's fall and I don't feel like being cold and sandy at the same time. It's just weird."
"C'mon baby, it's a beautiful day out."
I put the truck into four-wheel drive and made it onto the beach. The same lifeguard stand where we had amazing sex still sat there turned on its side. I got out of the truck and stood it up before helping her out of the truck. She hadn't been feeling very well for a few days, and I thought a change of scenery might do both of us some good."
She stole my Ray-Bans and made a run for it down to the water. As she stopped and turned around, I made my move. I grabbed her and tossed her over my shoulder and ran back to the chair. She laughed as she swatted at my back. "Put me down, Jack! I'm going to throw up."
I helped her climb up onto the chair, as she slid my sunglasses on.
"Okay, maybe you were right. It's a perfect fall beach day."
The breeze was cool but refreshing. The ring in the pocket of my pearl button Wrangler shirt felt like it weighed as much as a mountain. She was my lifetime. I was tired of waiting to make it happen. Go figure, the guy that didn't want to commit is chomping at the bit to
