“Hey, let’s take it one day at a time. I don’t need to hide anymore, even though I do like the idea of keeping things private.”
“We will then.”
“I have no doubt. You’re my someone, Vaughn. The person I want to share everything with. The person I want to treasure and protect and who will treasure and protect me in return. I wasn’t ready before, but I am now. As it turns out, I’ve had someone at my back this whole time.”
He stops our strides and cups my cheeks. “Always.” He kisses me softly on the mouth. “You had me at ‘Look out!’ you know. I kept looking at you and thinking this girl. She’s your soul mate. Don’t fuck it up. Promise me you’ll always be mine.”
“I promise.”
We kiss again, then tucked under his arm, we make our way up the driveway and toward something…more. We’re walking toward our future. No holding back. No shying away. I’m no longer stuck in my past. I’m no longer distracting myself from living life to the fullest. I’m in love. With Vaughn. And more importantly, with myself again.
