Miles POV.

When Ellie bumped into me I helped her stand back up straight and her smile washed away all the awful images of her and that guy in my head. I felt my face heat up once I noticed her in the dress she was wearing, fuck it's very... short and tight.

"Ew, are you blushing? Gross" she giggled leaning against the railing in front of the glass door. I laugh a little before her face goes blank "why are you here?"

"Um, a friend of mine wanted me to come and support him so I did" I lie. There no friend and I knew Ellie would be here tonight because I saw she posted it on her story, I told myself over the last two months not to look at her social media accounts but thank god I looked yesterday because otherwise I wouldn't have ran into her like I had hoped.

"Ellie, you've been out here for awhile" the guy Ellie practically fucking made out with right in front of me came outside and started getting on Ellie that she's been out here with me for too long.

"I'll be right there" she smiles. She too naive for her own good. I can see the bulge in this guys pants and when he grabs Ellie's arm I almost lost it.

"She said she'll be right there! Now please give us a moment to talk" I clear my voice snapping Ellie arm out of this guys hand. She can't see what he wants from her but I can and I'll be damned to let this jackass make a move on my sunshine.

"Dude back the fuck off! Go get your own slut!" that's when I lost it. I didn't mean to loose my cool I just did when he basically just called Ellie a slut.

"Call her that one more time and I swear to god I'll shove your arm down your fucking throat and I'll enjoy it!" Ellie is in shock and honestly so was I. Things almost got violent but he deserved it. And I meant every single word I just said.

"Alright Jesus Christ" he said before storming his way back inside the party.

I watched him walk away inside before turning back to Ellie and when I did her face was pink. I made her mad and now I've probably just ruined any shot I had to get her to see what I have been doing the past two months.

"Miles what the hell!! I work with these people and now I'll be known as the office drama bitch!" She waves her arms around in my face while I'm absolute disbelief right now.

"Ellie come on! He called you a slut and I will not have that! And don't be stupid, you aren't a Bitch" I sigh crossing my arms while she just pouts at me. She turns around trying to go inside but I grab her hand and loop my fingers through hers before her face goes soft again. She looks like she about to cry and that only makes me feel like dog shit. "I'm sorry" I whisper.

"Miles..." she tries to tell me to go away or leave her alone but that's the last thing I'm going to do right about now.

"Let me show you something" she sighs and follows me down the driveway and to my truck.

The whole drive was silence and all though I like silence I hated when she just sat there upset with me not say a single word. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and never ever let her go. When I pulled into the gravel road she sniffed before looking around and then at me like I was kidnapping her.

"Where are we?" She sighs as I unlock the door and climb out. Once I help her down from my truck I was about to let go of her hand when she squeezed it like she knew I was going to let go so I kept holding on.

"I bought this land.. for you" she just laughs.

"Miles I didn't want you to buy me a land in the middle of nowhere!"

"No! I didn't buy it for you. I bought it for us Eloise" I trail off before taking her hands in mine "I fucked up by letting you go. Over the past two months I've been working on buying this land and I've decided that I'm ready. I will build us your dream home to grow old in with me and how ever many children you want will grow up here, as long as it's with me" her lip quivered and I looked down at her arm which was covered in goosebumps.

"But you said..." she whispers tightening her grip on my hands.

"Fuck what I said" I chuckle "what I'm saying now is that... I think I can love you"

She stepped away from me letting my hands go. Before she even said anything I knew it would hurt like hell. What the hell is wrong with me? I couldn't just tell this girl that I was so fucking attracted to her in the beginning and I wanted to get to know her instead of fucking both of us up by making the stupid idea I had in my head become real, become my worst nightmare.

Fuck I love her and I can't even say it. I know her more then I know myself and I know that sounds insane but god I fucking love her. I love the way she moves her body, the way her eyes flicker when she smiles for real or how her hair call so perfectly without her even trying. I love it all.

"Miles, you're not... no you can't" she shakes her head as a small teardrop falls from her eye. "you're lying to yourself because you feel guilty for hurting me. Please just take me back"

"Sunshine... don't make me spell it out for you" I take a deep breath for air before releasing it "you know I want you"

"Miles, just take me back" she nods turning around and walking back to my truck.

I did everything I could. I gave her what I feared the most to give anyone and she didn't take it. She walked away and it hurts so much. I want her and I can't have her.
