I watched Syre as he sat opposite of me at dinner. He had found this beautiful little intimate restaurant with private dining for our second and final night away. And the food.....you know I love food....it was to die for.

But as usual, I found myself staring at him.

Sometimes I just liked to look at him, sometimes I couldn't believe I got him all to myself. He was just so damn fine. He had near perfect skin, with those freckles decorating his cheeks. Perfect eyebrows and perfect eyelashes.

His face was so sculpted, he looked like a work of art. A work of art I got to sit on.

Lucky me.

"You so weird." He said with a laugh.

"What? What I do?" I asked, snapping back to reality.

"You always staring at me."

"You are a very sexy man. I'm admiring what's mine." He smirked and I swore I saw him blush, but I decided to not point it out. "I feel lucky." I said.

"Not as lucky as me." He reached across the table, grabbing my hand. "I got you."

I smiled, looking down at the table to hide the fact that my face was flushed red. He always made me so nervous.

Clearing my throat I looked back up at him.

"This little weekend getaway was perfect you know. I couldn't ask for more."

"You deserve the world." He said delicately, rubbing his thumb against the back of my hand. "Ever since I met you, you pulled me in. Your energy....just who you are forreal. Even when I was tryna act like I ain't have a little something for you....I knew I did. I never...met anybody like you Star and ever since you came in my life you've made me a better man. Showed me a real love, that I could actually depend on. You showed me how to be dependable myself, be dependable for you. You loved me patiently, truly....you never faltered."

I hung on his every word, feeling my head beat harder and quicker with every line he dropped.

"It's not like we're just a couple....it's like we're one. I feel so safe witchu....safer than I've ever felt in entire my life. I feel important....you my first and only real relationship and loving you came easy. Every moment I spent witchu, I fell deeper in love with you. You give me happiness, peace...solace. You gave me my son...." he cleared his throat and I sniffled softly. Feeling tears already building in my eyes. "You taught me it was alright to be vulnerable....and it was alright to embrace parts of me I'm ashamed of, but also heal from them. So I could be better. I love you beyond words can convey....but I still try my best to let you know how much I really do. Ion see nobody but you....everything just fades away when I look at you." He paused, grabbing a napkin and reaching over the table to dab my cheek. I laughed softly and he smirked. "...I promise I'm almost done."
