𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 ; Trent Alexander Arnold

29. what's the occasion?

"So.." she trailed off and fiddled with the ends of the blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

"You broke up with Lewis?"

Jordyn turned to him and quietly nodded her head.

"Was it because of me?"

The girl was quiet, Trent was always right. The words were on the tip of her tongue, why not spit it out already?

"He was just not right for me. And yeah. Partly because of you" Jordyn felt herself cringe, she hated this. Why was she even answering his question just to have him return back to his girlfriend later?

"I knew you were crushing on me" He teased, hoping to lift the tension between the pair. Jordyn cracked a small smile.

"Yeah well, it don't matter. You don't feel the same way anymore so, friends?"

Trent spent about thirty seconds, just staring at her with his head tilted to the side. Wondering how on earth the girl sitting in front of him was willing to give up so easily.

"No"

"No?"

"I don't want to be your friend," he watched a look of hurt flash across her face before she nodded her head "I left her"

And he watched hope restore in her eyes again as a smile began to form on her face.

"You left her?"

"Yes, for you" He grinned, looking the other way in embarrassment.

The next thing he knew, Jordyn wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a long hug "I'm sorry it took me this long"

"Yeah, we could've like started a family by now if you hadn't been so stubborn" Trent joked, his thick accent comforting her as he rested his chin on her shoulder.

Her giggle reached his ears like his favorite song, making his smile widen.

Five years later...

Trent stood in the kitchen in their shared home, their dogs resting on the sofa in front of him, eyes lazily rested on the screen in front of them.

He chopped the vegetables neatly and placed them on the plates. Trent heard the front door open and close with a gentle click. The love of his life let out a quiet sigh before dropping her bag on the marble floor, hearing the items inside rattle.

Letting the smile reach his lips, he untied the apron, placing it on the counter before he moved to the side and washed his hands.

Jordyn entered the kitchen. She paced back and forth as she ran her hands down her face "You good?" He spoke up from the other side of the kitchen counter.

"Worst day at work today, this guy at the office won't stop bugging me. He's bare jarring, oh my god" she groaned.

Still walking back and forth she went on a ramble about how much she hated those co-workers of hers but needed to stay.

Trent listened carefully, understanding her frustration as she continued on.

In the midst of it all Jordyn suddenly stopped in her steps. She noticed the dim lightning in the room, the slow jam playing in the background, the lit candles scattered around her, the bundle of her favorite flowers placed on the counter.

"Am I interrupting something?" She asked jokingly in a low tone.

Trent chuckled at her and dried his hands before he leaned his upper body on the edge of the counter.

With a slight grin on his face he shrugged.

He watched her smile widely before she relaxed and mirrored his body language.

As they stood face to face, he realized something very important.

That after all these time he had somehow fallen even deeper in love with the stubborn girl he was lucky enough to call his own girlfriend.

"What's the occasion, pretty boy?" She raised an eyebrow.

Trent shrugged again. He stood up straight, placing his hands into the pockets  of his trouser. He had his eyes set on her while he made sure that the small box was
still in his possession.

a little sweet ending for you lot <3
