Devil's Pawn (Completed)

31

My first time on a private jet and it was wonderful. Of course I had no idea where we were going but the rush of being on a private jet with a guy who proclaimed his love for me, and saved my from Havenwyk made me feel...happy. So against my many wishes of complaining about how much I hate surprises, I sat and thought about the posibilities getting ansier every second, but I didn't ask River. It was no point. He was so stubborn he wouldn't talk.

"You're so anxious to find out." he said turning over to look at me.

"I could be shaking because I'm scared of planes." I countered.

"Awe shit. Are you Joey?" I shook my head at his worried expression and smiled. His blue eys were half way out of him sockets and his pink lips were parted as he withdrew a deep breath. I ran my lips lightly over his and blinked just staring at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Robert Brault said, 'Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were big things.'" I said simply. "I'm enjoying my first plane ride with my first love." I said smiling.

I heard him take in a gasped breath. I opened my blinked eyes and when I saw his deer in headlights expression , I knew what had caught him off guard.

"I didn't mean to"- I started rambling to cover my words. I didn't think that through. Saying I love River was a huge milestone in my life. I
had to be sure. I am an idiot.

"Dont." He spoke so softly I almost missed it. "Even if you don't mean it, let me believe it."

"I do mean it." I said sincerely. I swallowed as I moved and twisted my body to face him. "I do love you."

"And I'm in love with you." He said kissing my nose.

"I fell for you the moment you walked out on those stone steps."

"It was the night you first kissed me. After the kiss when you got my clothes, that I knew I really liked you. But the moment I knew I was falling was when you listened to me tell you why Chloe hated me." (The end of chapter 14)

"When you started talking a little about the director." I nodded.

"It was the way you reacted...You didn't judge."

"When did you actually know you loved me?" He asked turning toward me putting the armrest up as he pulled me closer to him.
"The day I got in the accident. When I saw the green light and I sped off away from Hiede, I just wanted to get away from him and go to you. You're the only person I feel safe with. Like no one can hurt me. Then in the hospital , no one believed me. They didn't but you did. You and Caroline did." I felt a son threaten to spill but I shook it away. "I never knew someone who was as brave and loyal as you."

"I'd do anything for you." He said promising as he looked into my eyes.

"You do everything for me just by breathing." I said cupping his cheek with my hand.

"Mr.Dallas, Miss Mitchell. We''re here." I scooted away from him and looked up smiling as I covered my face.

"You little swine." I gasped smacking his chest as be smiled slyly behind me.

"I mean what person has never been to Disney before?"
