Dance Alone To The Beat of Your Heart

Chapter 19

   We are having lunch with our parents today. I'm nervous about it. They know we're engaged. I just worry about what they think of us as a couple. 

  "It will go well." Pete can feel my nerves. 

  "I know it will. I'm nervous for some reason." I say. 

  "You've got this. It will be fine." Pete kisses me as he looks me in the eyes. 

  "Thank you. I love you." I kiss him back. 

   We leave to meet our parents at where we're having lunch. My mom and dad hug me as I sit down. "its good to see you." My dad says. 

  "You too." I say as I look at Pete. 

  Pete's parents hug me then him. Pete grins. "I'm not sure if you already know this but Patrick and I are engaged." He states. 

  "Congrats to you both." Pete's mom says. 

  "We wanted to update you. We're having the wedding on the Lake." I state. 

  "That doesn't surprise me." My mom says. 

   We have lunch and talk with our parents. Pete's parents really seem to love me which is good. 

  "I told you it would be fine." Pete says as we head off to our next stop. The permit was approved. We just have to pick it up. That's where we're headed. 

  We grab our permit and go home. "We should house hunt." I state. 

  "Yes. I just wanted to drop off our permit first." He says. 

  "Shall we go?" I take his hand. 

  He squeezes my hand. "Alright lets go." He says. 

  "Thank you by the way." I state. 

  "For what exactly?" He asks me. 

  "Being willing to move back to Chicago." I answer. 

 "I love you. I told you I would be willing to do whatever you want to make you happy." He says as we drive to our first house. 

  "I love you too. You make me happy." I state, kissing his cheek. 

  "I'm glad that I do. You are my world." He says as we go inside. 

  "Awe Petey." I say, taking his hand. 

  He squeezes my hand. "Ready?" 

  "Yup." I state as we start looking around. 

  We look at several houses today. We are preparing to move even though we don't have a place yet. 

  "I know that we'll find a place that will work for us." He says as we get back to his apartment. 

  "I'd stay here but it used to be your bachelor's pad." I say. 

  "I get it. I understand why." He says. 

  I sit down and kiss him. "I know you do. I love you." 

  "I love you too." He says. 

  "I love our lives." I pause. "Whats next on the checklist?" 

  "We still need a cater, cake, and place for the reception. And to send our our invitations." He answers. 

  "So a bit still. We've got this." I say. 

  "We do. Anything you want to do first off that list?" He asks. 

  "I do want to do something but its not on a list." I kiss him. 

  He kisses me back. "And that would be?" 

  "Having some fun." I answer. 

  "Oh yeah?" He smirks as he kisses my neck. 

  "Shall we move to the bedroom?" He suggests. 

  "That's a good idea." I get off of him. 

  "Alright lets do it." He takes my hand. 

  "Yes. You are amazing." I say as we move to the bedroom. 

 "That would be you." He says. 

   We start kissing each other as we take our clothes off. We are massively in love. Pete still gives me butterflies. He makes my heart race. Hes the love of my life. I'm excited to marry him. 

  "Is it just me or does our sex get better each time?" He asks me afterwards. 

  "Our sex does get better each time. My feelings get stronger each day. That might be why." I state. 

  "My feelings get stronger for you every day. You are amazing. I love you." He kisses me again. 

  I kiss him back. "I love you too." 

  "You're perfect." He says. 

  "Thanks." I state as I cuddle into his arms. 

  He holds me closer. "You're welcome." He says. 

  "You're amazing." I say kissing him again. 

  "Thanks." He kisses back.
