Bethany's POV
I unfold in Derek's arms like a love note that's read in secret. Derek wake up and I turn and he wakes up and has sleepy eyes and smiles. I love you, "I love you too baby I have breakfast planned for us and I have a surprise for you! Get dressed" I get off the bed and walk to the bathroom, I brush out my hair do simple winged eyeliner and change into black leggings and oversized sweater and my Uggs.
I brush my teeth and put on some perfume, I'm ready!! "Okay!" And I walk out and grab his hand, where are we going? "That little old fashioned diner you love" aww yay! We drive down town and drive for about 10 minutes till we arrive at the restaurant. He grabs my hand as soon as we get out of the car, we walk up to the door and we walk inside. Once we sit down a waitress brings us menus, we both order coffee, "so what are you gonna get??" I don't know maybe pancakes, "I might get the same thing" the waitress comes over and takes our orders and we both get pancakes. When she leaves he grabs both my hands, wanna get your surprise? Sure aha. And he pulls out a small box that looks like it has a ring inside, he opens it and I guessed correctly it's a diamond right with small crystals on the band. "I'm sure you expect what I'm about to ask you and I hope you say yes because you are the most important thing to me please marry me?" Oh my god yes!!! And I hug him, and the waitress brings us our food and we start eating. But there's this man around my age maybe older across the restaurant looking straight at us like he knows me or something. I feel like I've seen him before but I just can't think where. For some reason his longish brown hair and tan skin reminds me of when I was extremely happy and over flowing with this love. And then right there my life flashed back to when I was 16 and had my first real love and I was deeply inlove and then I realized the person sitting across the room from me is the person who I don't think I'll ever get over. He raises his eyebrows while looking at me, "are you okay?" What?! Oh I'm fine. And I look straight at him. I look back at where Crawford was sitting and he's gone like he disappeared. Me and Derek get up and walk out because we finished our food. "It's 11:30 now I have work at 12 so I'll drop you off at home then go okay?" Yea that's fine, we drive home and it takes about ten minutes. As soon as we get home he goes and gets his coat his lunch packed with food and a water bottle. So? I'll see you later? And I hold onto his arm. "Yes I'll see u later" and he walks out. I lay on the couch and close my eyes, as I start to drift to sleep I hear banging on the door. I sit up instantly and I can see a figure in the door,I walk up slowly towards it and I open it and there he was Crawford standing within arms length, years ago I would've jumped in his arms and cried. "Hey uh I saw you and I was just wondering if your alright and everything" I'm fine and my eyes start to swell and get puffy. If you wanna come in you can I can make coffee. "Sure I'd love that" and he follows me inside into the kitchen. "So how's things?" Good I have a boyfriend now, "oh that's good, can I just tell you something?" Sure "the reason I came here was so I can get you back there I said it I'll admit it I'm still in love with you and I always will be I know that I have 1% of a chance of getting you back but I can't let go off that one chance of hope I have and I wanted to do it now before it's too late" Crawford! It is 9 years too late now!! I have a boyfriend! I'm engaged!! "I know and I'm sorry!" Crawford this isn't going to work, "then can we work at it?" And he comes closer to me, I back up against the wall nervously. He pushes me against the wall and surrounds my body with his arms. "Don't be nervous baby" and he leans in and kisses me hard while grabbing my face. Our lips disconnect and we look into each others eyes for about 6 seconds and then he leans in and kisses me again but this time I let him pull me closer. It feels different now his lips are softer but I like it, he lifts me off the ground and pushes me against the wall with my legs around his waist. Crawford I, and he cuts me off by kissing me hard and we stop kissing and we just look in each others eyes "Can I ask you something? Does Derek love you as much as I do? Can Derek kiss you that way? Can we please work us out? I know it's been like a long time but I want you back I need you I wanna have that feeling when I wake up and I have you laying in my arms, not his"
