Happiness was an emotion I rarely felt in my marriage. James was everything I wanted while we were dating, then he became everything I wished to avoid.
It's funny how people show you their real colors- at the worst times no doubt.
I thought we would be together forever. He was my night in shining armor. In reality, he was a snake in disguise.
I still think about our wedding day- but not to think back on our "union"- but to think back on when I first met Pete.
He was at my wedding, staring at me while I stared at him. It's funny how things go full circle. At that time, I had no idea I'd be waking up to him whether than James, but here we are.
"Good morning" I said through a raspy morning voice. Pete rubbed his eyes before opening them, I melted at how beautiful they were.
"Good morning gorgeous" He said back. Last night was filled with.....passion to say the least. Red wine and our clothes decorated the floor.
"I enjoyed last night" I said
"Me too, but now I gotta go home to my wife" Pete joked. We both laughed and decided to get up.
"I have an extra toothbrush" I told him when entering the bathroom.
"Probably because you always knew I was gonna spend the night"
We brushed our teeth then walked to the kitchen together.
"I'll make breakfast" I beamed. I went into the fridge and got out some eggs and things of that.
"We can make breakfast together, how about that?" Pete requested
We began to cook our food, casually singing old 90's songs while we cooked.
"I missed this when you moved out" He told me
"Well, how about you just..." I started
"Spend the night more?"
"I was gonna request moving in" I said quietly. Pete stopped what he was doing and looked at me
"....huh?"
"I mean, we already lived together once. And you know, we have this thing going on."
I looked at him and started to think I was making him uncomfortable so I stopped talking all together. We finished the food and and made our plates- deciding to sit in the living room and eat.
The first 5 minutes of eating was in a awkward silence, until I decided to speak up.
"Sorry about what I said back there...I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable"
"You didn't" He responded quickly. I just nodded and continued eating. A couple more minutes went by and Pete put his plate down.
I looked at his plate and saw he had half a plate left.
"You done?" I asked
"I wanna move in with you" He smiled
I was in a bit of shock, so I was probably a stuttering and mumbling mess while eagerly smiling at him.
He kissed my lips. I kissed back. We kept that going until Pete pulled away a little to stare into my eyes.
"I love you"
"I love you too, Pete"
We finished our food, and instead of just going back to bed- we took showers and went on a walk.
"What do you remember from my wedding?" I asked Pete randomly. We were walking hand in hand down the sidewalk.
"Why?" He asked
"Just wanna know"
"Okay, well I remember me not wanting to go at first. Colson dragged me there because I was in a funk, had a bad breakup. Anyways, I remember getting there and sitting down. We were a bit late, you were the only one who hadn't come down the aisle yet. I remember seeing James and thinking, 'Man, this guy looks like a jacka*s"
I laughed as he continued, "Then, you walked down and...I never seen a person so beautiful. You looked so gorgeous. So, you said your I do's and stuff then we got to the reception. Colson introduced us- and I just couldn't take my eyes off you"
"Couldn't take my eyes off you neither" I admitted
We walked for a couple more minutes, talking about various things. I missed our conversations.
"How are you gonna break it to Colson, you know, that you're moving out?"
"Please, he wants me out"
We went back to the house maybe 30 minutes later. Pete ordered us lunch, so while waiting for it- we laid on the couch and chilled. I laid on Pete's chest, listening to his heart beat.
"So, are we like...roommates with benefits or something?" He asked
"Well, what do you wanna be?" I asked
"....I wanna be yours. I want you to be mine- I just want us together. But I understand if you wanna wait"
"I'm done waiting." I said, looking up at him. Pete is everything I want and need. I need him.
"I just...I just wanna be with you Pete."
"And I wanna be with you. I've wanted to be with you since the day I met you"
"At my wedding? Wow, crushing on a married woman" I laughed
"That married woman fell in love with me"
"I love you" He cooed
"Love you more"
