He is such a light!

Efter a few minutes of him Fipping through channels and me contemplating how to bring up the issue, Nick notices me staring at him.

;jj BXAXN 1A*MX

"What?" he asks, staring back at me with a suspicious smile, highlighting his dimples.

"Can we talk?" I ask suddenly.

"Yeah," he draws out slowly. Bis face suddenly goes red in fear. Hear of the words that will come out of my mouth.

I reach out for his hand to calm him down. Be looks down at my qngers intertwined with his and then back to my face to Fash a brief smile.

I reciprocate the smile before speaking. "Nick, qrst of all, let me use this opportunity to thank you for respecting my decision to have some space to think about our6em.. umm... issue?" I chuckle nervously. "Well, I have been able to put everything into thought6" I pause again to search his face2 he is trying hard to remain calm and listen to me.

"E wise woman told me today that the future should be my focus and never the past because I can't do anything to change what has happened in the past."

"I agree,K Nick responds almost immediately, nodding in agreement.

I chuckle.

"I guess I'm trying to say that the past is in the past. You are my future, Nickolai Xlwood, and I want to be with you for as long as that is," I profess, staring intensely into his golden brown eyes.

Without hesitation, Nick pulls me into an embrace full of Goy, which makes me giggle in surprise at his gesture.

"I love you so damn much, Isabel 1aker," he says before he pulls me away from his embrace2 without taking his hands oU my arms, he pulls me in for a kiss. E kiss that I have been longing for. E kiss of genuine and sincere passion crashing into each other. I know how much I miss his lips. I give into his lips almost immediately as we move in sync, savoring the taste of each other's lips, building up the sexual tension HETXL WITB MY XR'S 14OTBX4 ;jP

even more. Nick whispers while making love with my lips, "I am never letting you go again, no matter what. I am here to stay for life, my love, and I will always be there for you and Octavia.K

………

"You have to tell me where we are going!" I turn to Nick as he drives the car, smiling at him sheepishly.

"Can't you Gust be patient?" Nick teases. "You'll see when we get there."

"1ut I wanna know now!" I whine, pouting my lips to look pitiful.

"Isabel! We'll be there soon. Okay?" Nick responds, almost in awe of my childish behavior.

I roll my eyes at him, knowing he won't budge or tell me where we are heading.

"If you must know, I grew up in this town, so I know everywhere. There is no new or surprising sight for me here." I try another method to see if Nick will fall for it and Gust tell me where we are headed. 1ut he doesn't say anything. Be continues to laugh at my dramatic antics.

"You're something else, Isabel," he chuckles.

It has been two weeks since we got back together, and it has been nothing but bliss. I am madly in love with Nick and wouldn't have it any other way. Be makes me happy, and that gives my soul peace.

Xvery other day, Nick takes me out on random dates. Be says it is a tradition he wants to incorporate into our dating life, so the spark is always there.

He is so goddamn perfect!

Bis intentionality makes him diUerent, and I freaking love that I am his woman. We've gone on so many dates that I am beginning to lose count. Elmost all restaurants in town and neighboring ones know us by now, and no doubt people think he is Octavia's dad.

E classmate from high school walked up to me while I was shopping, telling me she was glad Octavia's dad was now in the picture. What did I expect? It's a small town. 4umors will always spread. I only told her thank you and went back to my shopping.

Nick is so good with Octavia. Be is emotionally and mentally present and ready to raise a child. It’s natural for him, like he has done it before. When I asked him about this, he told me he knows the kind of father he doesn't want to become, and I understood perfectly. Luring our relationship, we've had sensitive and vulnerable discussions about our lives growing up, and I must say, it has brought us much closer together. Nick told me about his childhood with his brother and how vicious their father was and still is. Nick spoke highly of his brother2 sometimes, I wish I had gotten to know him beyond that one night together. Ell in all, I am elated that I'm with Nick.

Our date today is a special one. It's my birthday! Twenty-seven years on this green earth is something worth celebrating.
