Beautifully Jaded~RVD

Leaving, With him?

We were walking into the restaurant where everyone already was, Ruel and I ended up going for a drive before we had to there. We walk into the restaurant and I see my dad on a big table with the three families. Ruel and I take our seat and everyone wishes me a happy birthday. While waiting for our food me, Coco, Sylvie and Sunday head up to the top floor of the building to watch the sunset.

"So what's going on between you and Ruel?" Sunday asks.

"I'm not sure, he asked me to tour the last bit of his tour with him" I shrug.

"That's a big thing for Ruel, he prefers to be solo" Coco tells me.

"I wanna go, I do but it's his tour I feel like if I'm there I'm just a distraction" I sigh.

"If he didn't want you do go he wouldn't have asked" Sunday reassures.

"Yeah I guess" I shrug as we make our way down for food.

After food, I ended up opening my gifts that everyone had kindly bought me. After dinner everyone went home and Ruel and I took a stroll. We ended up on the dark beach listening to the waves lap calmly onto the beach. The moon was full and I could see the structure of Ruels face In the light.

"We leave tomorrow at 12" he sighs.

"Where to?" I ask.

"Melbourne, Brisbane then here" he tells me.

"What do I need?" I ask.

"Outfits, toiletries, most importantly yourself" he smiles in the darkness.

"Well I'm not gonna leave me at home am I?" I joke back.

"Okay, keep the sarcasm though Nate will love it" he says pulling me into him.

I lay with my back against his chest hoping that this is how it stays. Just the two of us and the feeling that it's us against the world. It's like I was the ice and he was the fire threatening to melt me and set me alight once I'm dried off. It's like he's melting me down so I'm the person I always wanted to be but never could because I had no idea how.

I smile, thankful that I'd grown older and learnt lessons that people my age wouldn't have. Maturing earlier can be a bad thing but I think in my case it help me grow. I feel Ruel relax beneath me almost as him the tension left his body and we were both in a state of relaxation that was beyond euphoric. It was relaxing and I wanted this to last forever, I wanted to be with him forever because he helped me because the person I am right now. Despite the hurt, anger and raw love it was all worth it for moments like this.
