Fighter Boy

Chapter 43

"Is this really going to be the nursery?" Shawzy ask.

He was sitting on the bed in Katie's room. Katie walks away from the suitcase that she had from the "vacation", since they got home late last night. She sits in front of him, crossing her legs.

"Yeah, until I can get a place of my own. Otherwise, the bedroom will have to do." she says.

"Why don't you stay with me? I have plenty of room at my place." he says.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I got no one with me."

"Are you positive you want us?"

He scoots in towards her until there knees touch each others. He puts his hands on her checks and looks straight into her eyes. He leans into her and kisses her. He pulls away and grabs her hands. He locks his fingers with hers.

"Trust me, you two are welcome at my place. I want you two at my place. I want to come home from a game or a road trip and see you with the her/him in your arms, waiting for me." he says. "I want the girl who made a splash in my life with me. Be sitting there when I come home. To be there so that they will listen to me complain when we have a horrible game or when I don't play like I normal do or when the media gets on my nerves. Someone with the smile on their face to put it on mine..." Tears start to roll down both of their checks. But they were falling more on Katie than Shawzy.

"Why are you crying?" he asks, wiping the tears of her face.

"Because...no guy has ever give me the love, the respect, the care, the help that you have for me. It's one thing to say 'I love you' but it's another if you can give reasons to it. To be there for me, to listen to me, to be worried sick about m..." she says, but was cut off as he gave her a huge hug.

"Katie, That's what I'm here for."

"And that's why your amazing and why I love you."
