In the end I just sigh. “You know what, Zooey? I actually don’t care that much. Working with him has been my life for over twenty years. Somewhere along the line...well, I think I lost my interest in it. We made our fortune together. I have enough to live off for the rest of my life. I was never that passionate about his ideas or what he represented...everything was his idea. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise.”
“Are you serious?”
I shrug again. “Yeah, I’m serious. I followed his dream, but it wasn’t mine. It was just a way to make money for me. My passions lay elsewhere at the time. And then I kind of got distracted by it all...I lost sight of what I cared about. And somehow, I ended up in a place in my life where I don’t have anything to care about. Up until now, that is.” I lean in and kiss the top of her head. “Everything is falling together, babe. Just not in the way I expected.”
Zooey frowns at me. She’s acting like I’m talking crazy, but I know for sure that I’m not. I’ve never been so clear about anything in my life. She thinks I should be upset about the way he treated me, and the way it’s affecting my future, but I’ve got everything I want and need now that she’s here. She may not know it yet, but she is the reason.
And suddenly it hits me like a tonne of bricks. I’m in love with her. Head over heels. How could I not see it before? My nerves about her father and the pressure we had on us was holding me back. And now that I’ve let go, it’s like I can see everything clearly. I know what I want - her and only her.
While I’m having this epiphany, she’s still staring at me and waiting for a response. She caresses my face and I feel my cock hardening. She turns me on with such ease. She makes my heart do backflips. This is it. She’s the one.
“You don’t seem that fazed about this...are you sure? Maybe you haven’t given yourself enough time to let this all sink in,” she says gently. I grab her hips and bring her in closer to me. She looks surprised, but pleased to have me pressed against her body. I stare into her eyes, hoping she feels the same way about me as I do about her.
“I’m sure,” I tell her, “I’ve never been more sure. You’re the person I’ve been waiting for. I would do anything for you. Hell, I don’t need anything else. Forget the business. Forget having a good house and a fancy car and money in the bank. I’ve been on my own long enough to know that it doesn’t mean anything, especially when you don’t have someone to share it with.” I cup her face desperately. “You’ve changed the way I think and feel about everything. Now, all I want is to see a future with you. I want the whole fairy tale, no messing around. I want to wake up with you. I want to go to sleep with you. I want to fuck you all the time. I’d tell your Dad to fuck off a million times if it meant I could be with you. I see everything in our future...a shared house, a marriage, a house full of our own kids...I’d give anything to put a baby inside you,” I growl. Maybe I’m telling her too much, but I have to be honest. This is all or nothing now. Her eyes are wide, but she doesn’t look scared. She looks excited. I stroke her cheeks.
This is it.
“I’m in love with you, Zooey. I want this. I want you...for the rest of my life.”
The only sound that can be heard is the shallowness of her breathing and the cold wind whistling in our ears. My heart is racing, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I’ve said a lot. Possibly too much. But I don’t regret it now. I’ve said the truth. What she does with it is up to her. But I know one thing for sure, and that’s that she is the one thing worth living for.
She looks up at me and I wait for what she has to say. She’s smiling now, her cheeks flushed.
“I love you too,” she whispers, “More than anything else in the world.”
She stands on her tiptoes and kisses me. Her lips are warm and inviting in the cold wind. She kisses me desperately. I’ve never had a kiss that feels so good. My tongue slides inside her mouth and my hands naturally slide to her ass, pulling her closer to me. She sighs in pleasure against my lips. I’m hot under the collar once again. Damn, she barely has to do a thing and I want her more than I’ve ever wanted anyone before. And now that we both know that we feel the same, I can take her home and make something of what we have between us.
