Nick and Charlie 6 years into the future

a secret dream

Nicks pov:

As the weeks passed, a secret dream began to take shape in my mind—a dream of a future filled with love, commitment, and shared adventures with Charlie by my side. It was a dream that I kept tucked away, hidden from Charlie's knowing gaze, as I pondered the possibility of taking our relationship to the next level.

The idea first sparked in my mind during our date night at the cinema, as we sat together in the darkened theater, lost in the magic of the movie. In that moment, surrounded by the soft glow of the screen and the gentle hum of the theater, I felt a surge of love for Charlie unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

With each passing day, the dream grew stronger, fueled by the depth of my feelings for Charlie and the vision of a future that stretched out before us like an open road. I imagined us growing old together, sharing laughter and tears, triumphs and challenges, as we navigated life's journey hand in hand.

But as much as I longed to make our love official, to ask Charlie to be my partner in every sense of the word, I couldn't shake the nagging doubts that plagued my mind. What if I wasn't ready for such a big step? What if Charlie didn't feel the same way?

And so, I kept my dream a secret, turning it over and over in my mind as I wrestled with my conflicting emotions. I knew that proposing to Charlie would be the most important decision of my life, and I wanted to be absolutely sure that it was the right choice for both of us.

As the days turned into weeks, I found myself consumed by thoughts of the future, of the life that Charlie and I could build together. I imagined the look of surprise and joy on his face when I finally revealed my secret dream to him, and I felt a flutter of excitement in my chest at the thought of making it a reality.

But for now, the dream remained just that—a dream. I knew that there were still many questions to be answered, many conversations to be had, before I could take the next step in our relationship. And so, I held onto my secret dream, savoring the anticipation of what the future might hold for us.
