The Destruction of Love

The Vows

Hero POV

"Baby.." Jo's soft and very quiet voice brings me out of my sleep. I groan and bury my face into the pillow. Seriously does this girl ever get any sleep? One of Jo's newly found traits is that she's up pretty much all of the time it's like that woman can't get a minute of sleep. I mean sure she sleeps like five or six hours. Okay, maybe I'm being a bit overdramatic.

When she sees that I'm not going to budge anytime soon I hear her huff but then like the wicked and seductive minx that she is bringing her lips to my above earlobe. She leaves a hot and peppered kiss from my above earlobe to my neck. Two can play that game.

In one quick motion, I flip us over so I'm hovering above her. She giggles "Good morning baby!" She squeals a huge triumph smirk covering her lips. I start to dip my head to her neck but then I feel her finger press against my lips.

I furrow my eyebrows and look at her with confusion. She giggles at my expression and flustered state "Not now baby. I have something else planned for us today." She winks and hops off the bed. "You're such a tease," I whine like a kid who just got his favorite toy taken away from him.

Jo bursts out laughing as she's getting something out of our closet. Our. It feels so odd saying ours. Over the last few years, it's just been me on my own. Sure I saw my family and friends during the weekend and holidays but I always pretty much alone just like I had envisioned myself being for the rest of my life.

I wasn't afraid of being alone at first it wasn't a thought that tormented me. It wasn't something minded by it. But when an Australian blonde came into my life and stole my heart and soul that's when I knew I couldn't be alone for the rest of my life. That's when I knew I needed to be with someone for the rest of my life and I knew that one person had to be her no matter what it took. No matter if it destroyed me and her I knew it would always be her.

Even if I'm the beginning I pushed her away because of my past and because I was afraid I would ruin her. I still chased after her like it was a need like I had to do it or else I would lose myself. I knew what I was getting myself into when I started to peruse her. I knew it was risky. I knew it was wrong. But at the same time, I didn't give less of a shit about it because I felt so happy and at peace with my girl.

I may have ruined her a bit in the beginning. But then she ruined me destroyed every thought or worry I have had in the end it is her who ruined me. We destroyed each other but we also built each other. We made ourselves the best and worst versions of ourselves. But throughout all of the chaos, fights. plans, deceives, and heartbreak. We found each other and that is all that should matter not the past or pain. Us. That's all the matter me and her nobody else.

"Hero!" Jo yells at me breaking me out of my thoughts. I look up at her and see she has a deep-seated scowl set on her perfect face. "Sorry baby. What we're you saying?" I ask her giving her my best puppy dog eyes hoping her anger with me would dissolve.

She huffs and rolls her eyes annoyance clear in her features "Don't give me those damn eyes." She grits and she sits back on the bed against the headboard. I still haven't moved from my position. I'm still laid down with my lazy ass in this pillow.

She then brings her tiny fingers stroking my hair. "What we're you thinking about?" She asks me her voice filled with curiosity but I also hear a tad bit of worry lacing it. Jo and I have been working through your communication and trust issues.
