Real life

Chapter 24

Tanners POV

Brooklyn makes me feel alive whenever I'm around her. She makes me happy, more than I can ever explain. Before Brooklyn came back into my life, my life was dry, boring, and depressing. But finally after a very long time. I finally feel like I got my spark back. I feel like someone believes in me and trusts me.

Today could not have come soon enough, I think to myself as I pull into Brooklyns driveway and see her bringing boxes into her new house.

I get out of the car and shut the door. Brooklyn turns around and sees me. Man every single time her eyes meet mine it's like an instant spark is lit in me.

No words. Just us. We walk to each other and are immediately caught in each other's embrace. We're still in the silence of the moment when we hear a crack of thunder and we lift our heads up to see what's happening.

Our heads raised up to the sky. I feel a drop of rain on the top of my head. In a matter of seconds rain is pouring out of the sky onto us.

Brooklyn has the biggest smile on her face and I pick her up and twirl her. "So, you wanna dance?" I ask her. "Tanner, Has anyone ever told you you're crazy?"

_______________

"I haven't done anything like that in years" I say toweling off in her new bathroom. "Me either" she says. Still the biggest smile on her face. Her hair is soaking wet and her face has a glow to it. She's absolutely stunning. She's glowing like the sun. Brooklyn is my sun.

"Well it looks like I won't be bringing in the rest of my stuff today" Brooklyn says. "Ahh it's fine we can get it tomorrow" ,"we? Are you coming back over tomorrow?". "Yeah, why not tomorrows a Sunday. I don't have anything else to do"

"You wanna spend the night?" she asks. "I may or may not have an extra pair of clothes in my car" I say. She just laughs. "Okay, then it's settled, you're staying the night with me in my new house." "I guess so"

"This is nice," Brooklyn says. I give her a kiss on the forehead. We are lying in bed, tired from moving stuff tonight once it stopped raining. "Hey Tanner". "Yes" , "I've been thinking," she says. "What have you been thinking about Brooklyn?".

"Well since you just got the new job and I'm not so far away anymore, I was thinking that you should move in." Woah, I don't know what I was expecting, but it sure was not that. I like Brooklyn Alot, Like Alot Alot. Like more than like her. But I don't know if this is too much too fast. We have only been together for 4 months.

But also No one makes me feel the way that I feel about Brooklyn. I would love to wake up every morning to her face, and to come home every night knowing that I'm coming home to her.

"Hello, earth to Tanner," Brooklyn says. Waving her hand in front of my face. I guess I must have zoned out a bit, oops. "Did I say something wrong, do you not want to, you don't have to, I don't want you to feel like you have to just because I asked and...."

"Brooklyn," I grabbed the side of her face. "I love you."

"What?" her face looks terrified. What have I done? But hey, she asked me to move in with her.

"I said I love you, Brooklyn." "I love you too," she said. Feww that was a weight lifted off my shoulders. For a minute there I thought she wasn't going to say anything.

"So what do you say? Do you want to move in?" She asks me again. "Brooklyn, I just told you how I feel. I love you, But I think that I need a little time to think about it first. Is that ok" , "yeah that's totally fine, take as long as you need" she says.
