The two of you stroll under the soft glow of the city streetlights, everything quiet and golden. Nicholas keeps his hand close to yours, brushing your fingertips now and then, each touch lingering just a bit longer than the last. There's something in his eyes tonight, a mix of excitement and hesitation, like he's on the edge of something he can't hold back any longer.
Finally, he stops, turning to you, his gaze intense. "I don't know how to say this, exactly," he starts, his voice barely above a whisper, "but... I think I know what this is. I think... they call this love."
He looks at you, searching your face for a reaction, and you can tell these words are something he's been holding inside, waiting for the right moment to tell you. There's a hint of a smile on his lips, but it's his eyes that give him away—soft, open, unguarded in a way you've never seen before.
"I mean," he continues, his voice growing steadier, "I didn't expect any of this. You came out of nowhere, and suddenly, nothing feels the same. It's like every thought I have, every dream... it all circles back to you." He laughs softly, shaking his head like he can't believe he's admitting this out loud. "I wake up, and you're the first thing on my mind. Go to sleep, and you're in every dream. All I long for is your touch. And darling something tells me that's enough. It's terrifying, but it's... incredible."
He pauses, eyes flickering down to your hand before gently reaching for it. His thumb traces circles against your skin, and he pulls you just a bit closer. "I used to think love was this big, distant thing, like something that happens in movies," he murmurs. "But this? With you? It's real, it's right here. And I can feel it in everything, like it's woven into every moment I'm with you."
Then he glances down, letting out a breath as he brings up one of his hands to brush a strand of hair from your face, tucking it behind your ear. "I know I've been trying to play it cool," he says with a little smirk. "Trying not to come on too strong. But honestly, you've got me all mixed up. And I think—no, I know—I want this. I want us."
His words settle into the night air, and he looks at you with a newfound determination. "They call this love, right?" he says, as if reassuring himself. "This thing where I'd do anything just to see you smile, where everything in me wants to keep you safe, to keep you happy. Where all I see, all I want, is right here in front of me."
He lets out a deep breath, a slight tremble in his voice now as he continues, his thumb still tracing soft patterns along your hand. "I'd give you every part of me, if you'd let me. All my hopes, all my dreams, every little piece. And I know it sounds crazy, maybe it is, but I don't want to hold back anymore."
He steps closer, eyes fixed on yours with a quiet intensity. "If this is love, then I want to live it with you, every single day. I don't care if it's messy or hard or unpredictable. Because you... you're everything."
And with that, he finally pulls you into his arms, holding you close, his heartbeat strong and steady against yours.
"Nick, that was beautiful. No guy has ever made me feel the way that you do. I feel so special when I'm with you and it scares me knowing that one day I could lose you. I don't ever want that because you're also everything. You make me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. You are my answered prayer. When we first laid eyes on each other I got that feeling. The feeling that someone gets when they found their other half. I could see it in your eyes. The smile you give me everyday makes me feel wanted. Everyday I wake up happy because I have you. If I've had a bad day you know exactly what to do to make me feel happy. I love you, Nick. Always and forever." you say confessing your feelings. You feel like you are in the best romance movie but it's even better cause this is real and it's true.
You both look into each other's eyes, filled with a large amount of love and that's when Nick holds your cheek in his hand and leans in to kiss you. It's not like any kiss you have ever experienced before with him. This one is passionate and it's like you are the only two souls in the world. Both of you make each other so happy and it shows. Never in a million years would you have thought, this would be your love story but it is and you would not change a thing.
You continue to kiss and break away for air. Both of you smile and this feeling feels like an unspoken promise that you and Nick will be together forever. As long as he is by your side, nothing can stop the love you two have for each other.
