Love is Blind

Chatpter Forty-Six: Hope

Chapter Forty- Six

Reece’s POV

            “What are we going to watch?!” Jace whines, being himself.

            It is Friday movie night and I invited Jace, partly to anger my lovely girlfriend, but mainly because he is my best friend and is fun. Then I invited Carter to make sure that Payton doesn’t get to mad at me. On top of that it is my mom, dad, and sister; of course you cannot forget my angel. Right now we are all in the den grabbing seats. Or at least that’s what it sounds like they are all doing. I am already seated on the couch stretched out and ready to attempt to listen. I mean to me it doesn’t matter what we watch, all I care about is being able to hold my girl in my arms.

            “Transformers?” Carter pipes up saying. I hear Jace making a sound that sounds like one in acceptance of his chose. Having Jace and Carter in the same room together has open my eyes. I now realize how different they are. Different does not even describe them. They are opposites. Like cold and hot, north and south, up and freaking down. The weirdest part is that they seem to get along just well.

            Jace is the playboy and some could even say bad boy, but he’s fun and a amazing friend. He acts like a little kid and is silly; I can admit he can be aggravating. Then you have Carter, who is extremely mature, and is serious and helpful. He has been through a lot and relates with me. He also is really nice and kind hearted. He is a great guy and I guess that’s why he’s one of my best friends now. That and the fact that he inspires me and makes me feel as if anything is possible.

            The couch besides me sinks and as a leg push up against the die of mine and the instant sparks automatically inform me that it is Payton. A smile sneaks onto my face as I reach my hand over for her hand. I feel her soft hand intertwine with mine. Gosh this girl makes me feel so girly. I can’t help it, just like I cannot wait for tomorrow.

            Valentines Day is tomorrow and I cannot wait to see Payton’s face when she sees what I have planed. I just have a really great feeling about tomorrow.

            “Does it matter to you what we watch?” Payton whispers to me, her warm breath fanning against my ear.

            “No, all that I care about is having you here, in my arms,” I say to her as I take my hand from hers sliding it up her arm until I wrap my arm around her neck.

            Her heart rate picks up rapidly and all the noses of the people around me disappear while all I can focus on is her quick beating heart that causes me to smile. I love this girl so much.

            “I love you,” I whisper to her quietly and feel her curl up into my side. My arm tightens around her wishing there was away she could be closer to me.

            “I love you too,” she whispers back lowly and I smile as I take in a breath and smell her fruity smelling hair.
