A year later

Loren's P.O.V:

7 more days

"Hi pooh bear!" I greeted him and sprinted to the front door, before I jumped into a hug.

"Hello honey!" He buries his face in between my jaw and my shoulder and I could feel a smile forming at his lips.

I look up and give his hair a little brush before I leap down from his arms.

"Now that's better." I tease and pointed at his brand new hairstyle that he still rocked.

He slowly walks up to me and he places his hands on the side of my face. He smiles and plants me a kiss on my lips, leaving a tingling feeling in my heart.

But, he took advantage of that.

He ruffles my hair and he leaves me with my hair sticking out at different parts of my head.

I probably looked like a cactus, just that I'm not green in colour. The hair sticking out could be the pricks. Or maybe I could be a porcupine. You get the idea.

"Now we are even." He giggles and I couldn't help but smile.

I only allowed this because I love you. Only because I love you.

"Honey, could you help me with packing for my luggage? I'm not sure if I'm overpacking." He said.

And that struck me hard. I had forgotten about it. He wasn't going to be here for long.

3 more days

I sat down on my desk, got my phone out and played some music. I wanted to do something for him before he leaves.

We won't be seeing each other for a long time. But we did promise to visit each other at least twice every year.

I grabbed my favourite pen, a few pieces of paper and a stack of envelopes.

"dear mr pooh bear..." I wrote.

Last day

It was late at night. We just had dinner back at our favourite restaurant to end our last night together, before we say goodbye to each other.

When we danced, I couldn't help but break down. When will I be back in your arms after this, listening to the slow music and letting you guide me while we take every step in the choreography? How long will it be till then?

Before we left the dance floor, the music we danced to stopped abruptly and our song played through the speakers instead.

I burst out crying as he went down on one knee and proposed to me with a promise ring. It wasn't an engagement ring, since we decided that if we wanted to get married, we would only do it when we are 25.

"Loren, I know that we've had our ups and downs in life, had tons of drama thrown at us throughout our journey together, but look, we are still together, stronger than ever. I remember back when we first met each other at college, I saw you and I instantly felt that spark. I never felt that with anyone I dated before. With you, I felt like I could be myself without being judged. You made me have those butterflies that I thought it was a joke people made back then. So, may I, Harvey Leigh Cantwell, be your forever?"

I knew my mascara was ruined and I looked like I had black tears but at the moment, it wasn't important at all. He was sobbing between every word he spoke and I could tell that he meant it by heart.
