Autumn's Wish

Chapter 29

I rub my eyes, still tired I turn over and finally his dog jumps off the bed. What seemed like five minutes later there was a knock on the door, I grunted and pulled the covers over my head. Then there was a soft voice.

"Autumn." He says. I realize it's Chandler but I'm to tired from crying so I just lay there.

"Hmm?" I ask from under the covers.

"You okay?" He asks slowly shuffling in the dark to the bed.

"Yeah." I say but I know I'm lying.

"Oh, okay." He says awkwardly, I hear shuffling again. I quickly uncover myself, as I sit up straight.

"No, I'm lying. Please stay. Please." I say rubbing my eyes fighting back my tears. He looks at me with loving eyes and begins to walk over to the bed.

"Lay with me?" I ask. He walks to the opposite side of the bed and climbs into the bed with me. I turn over to him, laying my head on his chest.

"You know I'll always be here for you." He says.

"I know, and I'm glad. You mean everything to me, I don't know what I'd do without you Chandler." I say as I rest my hand on his shoulder.

"I wanted to tell you something." He says rubbing my hand.

"What's that?" I ask.

"I love you." He says. I think about it for a second. This can't be real, no way. I have to be dreaming.

I begin to think back when we first met and the letter I got from him a couple months ago; thinking about that I start smiling. I know now that this isn't a dream and our feelings are stronger than before. I look at him once more and kiss his soft lips.

"I love you too." I say.
