"Where is Hannah having her bachelorette party again?" Jesse asked as Marie zipped up her carry on. She was leaving with Hannah the next morning.

"Hannah insists on going to Santorini even though it's one hell of a flight from here," she rolled her eyes.

"You're stopping in London right?"

"Yeah. Still a really long flight."

"Why Santorini?"

"She went there before she came to Chicago for the first time. Dean, Luke, and Adnan all trained in Dubai for six weeks, and then she joined them when they went to Greece for a week."

"You didn't go?"

"Nope. I was in Spain with-" Marie broke off.

"Marie, it's okay. I know you had a life and relationship before me," Jesse took her hand, "it doesn't bother me."

"Really?" Marie looked at him slightly surprised.

"Really. I'm not concerned with your past because I'm looking forward to our future together," Jesse gave her a kind smile.

Marie smiled a little and moved to hug him. She rested her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes as he rubbed her back. He kissed the side of her head as they stood in the middle of Marie's room. She smiled as she stood in his arms.

Marie had no idea how she got so lucky. Jesse was an incredible man. He was sweet, kind, funny, and caring. Juan had been all those things too, but as time went on, she just stopped loving him. There was no particular reason that it happened. With every day that Marie was in Chicago, she fell more in love with Jesse. He kept things interesting. He was always surprising her with dates and other things to make her feel special. She was hesitant to say it, but she was definitely in love with him.

"You're amazing, and I don't deserve you," she murmured.

"You deserve everything, Marie; and I want to give it to you," Jesse gently rubbed her cheek.

Marie smiled before kissing him. She didn't expect the kiss to become so heated. She pulled at Jesse's shirt. They were then pulling at each other's clothes while moving towards the bed. Marie ran her fingers through his hair and gently kissed his at his neck.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," she grinned before kissing him again.
