When the kiss ends, I say, “Wasted years is one way to look at it. Or maybe we look at it another way. We were lucky enough to find each other then, so we could recognize each other now we’ve grown into the selves we needed to be.” I run my hand over his lean cheek. “I’ve loved you since I was a kid. Ten years are nothing, Diego.”
“I agree, Nadie. As long as that’s it. No more time apart.”
“Together, Diego. Rest of our lives?”
“You bet.” Then he takes a breath. “I love you, Nadie. Been in love with you so long it feels like my entire life.”
I nod slowly, unable to control the smile. “Prove it.”
“Fuck yeah, as long as you don’t mind a thorough man, one who’ll spend forever making sure proving his love is done right.”
“That’s a deal. And I promise to do the same. Let’s get this life on the road, Diego.”
He grins, kisses me again in a kiss so sweet the only thing I can see is stars. He packs the bike, and hands me a helmet.
As we ride off, I don’t think I could be happier. I’m amazed at how easy something so complicated is when you love enough.
A life to prove it.
It’s going to be a good life. The life that always should have been.
I wrap my arms a little tighter around his warm body and close my eyes as I press against him.
“I love you, too, Diego,” I whisper.
Always.
