A Mistake Worth Making

2. Memories Bliss

Damian POV

As I lay here in the early morning holding Erin close to me I had no regrets. To me this felt right, this was where I should be and I never should have left.

I should of fought harder instead of walking away but maybe that what we had to do to realise what we had.

Erin's light breaths fan out across my chest and I smile as I think of last night. Nothing had happened we had simply gone to sleep in each others arms. It reminded me of the very first time we shared a bed.

I'd had a break in my schedule and decided to surprise her with a quick visit on my way home. She had been so happy to see me she asked me to stay, we spent the whole night in each others arms just talking.

Being back here reminded me of alot of moments we had shared, all the memories we'd made together.

Erin snuggles further into me and let's out a soft sigh as I kiss her hair.

"Please tell me you don't have to leave yet" she says sleepily

"I have nowhere to be" I smile "I was just thinking about the first time we shared a bed"

"Mmm I remember" she says "somehow it just felt right having you there, it didn't feel weird at all, like you were meant to be there"

"Let me ask you something Erin" I say "now that you've slept on it do you still want to do this?"

"Of course, why are you having doubts?" She asks looking up at me

"No I just wanted to make sure" I say "Kayla is back on Monday so that gives me time to back up my stuff. When she gets back I'll talk to her and then come to you"

"You really think it will be that easy" she asks

"I hope so" I sigh "because this is what I want, a life with you. It's what I've always wanted"

Erin POV

I snuggle back into him in an attempt to hide my face, I didn't want it to give me away. While he was confident I wasn't so sure it was going to be so simple.

Knowing what its like to love this man and how hard it was to let him go I wouldn't be suprised if she put up a fight.

The memories of the day he left come flooding back, it was my fault. I was the one that gave up, I pushed him away and I made him leave. He didn't want to but he agreed to.

I can still remember him pulling me into his arms before he left and telling me that he would love me forever and that his heart would always stay with me.

"You ok?" He asks

"Yeah fine" I say "I just........let's just say one of our decisions is going to turn out to be a mistake, question is which one?"

"Hopefully the first one" he says kissing my hair "because I have no regrets about this one" he says as his phone beeps and he sits up "damn it"

"What is it?" I ask

"Kayla, she's home early says she needs to talk to me" he says "I have to go but I will be back soon I promise........I love you"

"I love you" I say as I watch him get dressed. He presses one last kiss to my lips before leaving me wondering if that was the last time I would see him.

Damian POV

Rushing out to my car I had no idea what was going on. She was supposed to be away for another two days what could possibly make her come home early?

She was right we needed to talk and I could only hope she wanted to break up with me because anything else was not an option now.

After driving the short distance back to my place I walk through the door to find her sitting on one of the dining chairs looking at me.

Before I can say anything she rushes over to me wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing me.

"I missed you baby" she says wiping her lipstick off my lips "I didn't want to stay away any longer"

"That'd sweet baby but it was only two more days" I say "You're right though we do need to talk"

"Absolutely" she says excitedly "I've been doing alot of thinking about us while I was away and you know I love you and I realised that you are what I want for the rest of my life"

"Kayla listen before you............."

"Please let me finish" she says placing a finger on my lips "this is important for both of us"

"I know but I think you should let me speak before you go any further" I say "I need to tell you something, it's also important and it needs to be said now, Kayla.............."

As I search for the right words to say I can see her getting impatient. I want to make sure I get this right that she understands what I'm telling her before she does what she's about to do.

"Alright.......Kayla..............."

"I'm sorry I can't wait any longer" she grins "Damian Priest, will you marry me?"
