This isn't a dream

Quick note: This is based on when Marjoreece first got together.

(Marjorie's pov)

I can't believe it. I mean I can, but I can't. And with him? It's my dream. Never in a million years did I think I would find the love of my life, and yet here I am, day dreaming about him the moment I wake up, him downstairs in my kitchen. Never in a million years did I dream it would be Autumn's brother either. Yet this isn't a dream, it's real.

"Morning gorgeous," he says as he walks back into the bedroom. I can't help but blush at the pet name.
"Hi," I reply, a big smile plastered on my face.
"You okay?" I nod in response, curling further into my bed, hiding my face. "Did I do something?"
"No," I reply, my voice slightly muffled.
"Then what happened?"
"You."
"Me?" He questions, growing increasingly more confused by the sounds of it.
"Yes you. You make me feel so happy, and even saying one word makes me blush insanely hard. I really lo- like you Reece," I explain, uncurling myself just enough so I could look up at him.
"You goose," he laughs, stroking through my hair.
"What?"
"I just find it funny. You tore into me like less than a month ago, saying how much of an awful person I was. Now look at you."
"I know. I'm sorry, but I can't help it. You make me feel things that I haven't felt with anyone. And now I know the truth, not the lies you've told everyone else, it makes me even more attracted to you," I explain, sitting myself upright, making sure he knows I'm serious.
"I'm glad. Because I really like you too," he smiles, bringing me in for a gentle kiss.

We stay in bed for most of the morning, my head rests on his shoulder, my body leaning into him as we watch tv.
"Gorgeous?" Reece questions, and I can feel my cheeks heating up as he says it. I look up at him, and he laughs slightly. "You really weren't joking earlier."
"No, I wasn't. My body had never reacted this way to someone before. So know that you're in this forev- for the foreseeable. Unless that scared you, then you can leave before I get even further into this."
"Nope, doesn't scare me at all. I'm with you now, you're my last," he replies, kissing my temple.
"Now, what I was going to ask, is what do you fancy doing today? As much as I would love to stay here forever, we did that all day yesterday. Let's do something today."
"Okay. A walk? I don't know. As long as I'm with you, I've got a smile on my face."
"Let's just go on a walk. We don't have to go anywhere in particular, but we can just go."
"Yeah."

We both climb out of bed, and Reece grabs some of the clothes that he already keeps at mine and starts to get dressed.
I get dressed into some comfy clothes, heading to my vanity to do my hair. I just brush through it, chucking it up into one simple french braid, not wanting to deal with it down.
"Looking gorgeous as always," Reece says coming up behind me, putting his hands around me, his head resting on my shoulder.
"Thank you handsome," I smile, leaning back into him, and he kisses the side of my head.
"Shall we go?"
"Let's go baby," he says, grabbing my hand and gently guiding us down the stairs and out the front door.

We start our walk like normal, juts walking side by side. Then about a minute in, Reece pulls at me and switches places with me.
"Reece?"
"Stay that side," he replies, a smile tugging his lips, letting me know it's not serious. I nod in response and carry on walking.

A few more minute into the walk, Reece starts walking closer to me, and our hands brush a few times. Butterflies circle my stomach, and I feel a smile climbing its way onto my face. This isn't a dream. We have never actually been in public together, and this would be the moment, especially to hold hands.

"Hi there," a woman says, stopping in front of Reece. I stop too, glaring at her. The woman had a flirtatious smile on her face and tried her best to make her voice seductive.
"Hi?" Reece responds.
"I just wanted to stop and say, you are very attractive. You and me could have so much fun," she says. My face shows it all, I'm pissed. The fact she thinks she can come here and flirt with my boyf- with Reece.
"Sorry not gonna happen. Now if you'd leave me and my boyfriend alone, we have some stuff to do," I say, grabbing his hand and walking us down a small alley nearby, where there aren't any people.

"Whoa, hey. Stop," Reece says. I stop, let go of his hand and turn around to face him, unshed tears brimming my eyes. "What was that about?"
"She wanted you Reece. Did you not see the way she was offering herself up to you? I can't stand it, it even happens at the nursery. All the mums try and flirt with you! I'm sick of it!" I cry, not meaning to.
"Hey, whoa, I don't want them. I only want you. I never notice them because I'm too busy focussing on you."
"I'm sorry. And I'm sorry about back there, just pulling you away and calling you that. I know we haven't had a discussion about it yet. I'm sorry," I say, my voice breaking, tears still falling as I turn around. I don't want him to see me like this.
"Marjorie, look at me," he says. I shake my head in response. "Okay. I'm more than happy to be your boyfriend. I was gonna ask you to be my girlfriend in about ten minutes anyways."
"And I just ruined it!? I'm so sorry!" I cry even more, thinking I've completely ruined everything.
Reece walks around me, coming in front of me. He pulls me into his arms, letting me cling to him. My arms go around him, holding him tight as I cry into his chest.
"I've got you baby, I've got you."

He waits with me, letting me calm down before trying to move. Once I'm ready, I look up to him, and I'm met with a smile.
"You okay my gorgeous girl?" I nod in response, resting my head against his chest. "Now, I think me and my girlfriend should go get a coffee, then head home and chill there?"
"I'd like that. Thank you Reece. I love you," I say, covering my mouth when I realise the last bit slipped out by accident.
"You're welcome baby," he replies, grabbing my hand and walking us out the alley. He holds it tight as we walk along the path, letting people know he's taken.

As much as I want to enjoy this moment, I feel slightly disheartened at the fact he didn't respond to what I said. Yet I feel okay, because I wasn't meant to say that, and I didn't want to make him feel awkward or uncomfortable. Maybe that's why he didn't respond, I made him feel awkward and uncomfortable. Of course I did, way to go Marjorie, ruining it already.

"Marj?" Reece questions, pulling me out of my own mind.
"Hmm? Sorry?"
"Have you just been mindlessly wondering, and relying on me so you done walk into things?" He asks.
"Maybe," I whisper.
"What's got your pretty mind wondering then?"
"You."
"That seems to be a recurring answer love. Am I that bad?" He jokes.
"No of course not. It's you, and me. It's just, I said I love you earlier. It's the first time I said it out loud, and I'm overthinking it," I explain to him.
"Okay. I get that. That can be a lot, I'm sure."
"Yeah."

We carry on walking, not much more needing to be said, until we reach the coffee shop.
"I'll wait out here for you," I tell him, letting go of his hand.
"Are you sure? You okay?"
"Yes I'm sure, it's easier," I say, sitting down on one of the outside chairs.
"Okay, I'll be right back," he says, kissing my lips quickly before rushing inside.

He comes back five minutes later, two coffees in hand.
"One caramel iced latte for you gorgeous,"
he says, handing said drink to me.
"You remembered my coffee order?"
"Of course I did. I always will."

"Reece?" I look at him seriously.
"You okay baby?"
"I love you," I whisper, not sure on whether I actually want him to hear those words, whether I meant to say it or not.
"Marjorie?"
"Yes handsome?"
"I love you too," he replies, leaning down to kiss me.

The butterflies in my stomach erupt, I'm over the moon. He loves me too. My dream man loves me back. I couldn't be happier. This will be my favourite moment forever I think.
I smile into the kiss, telling myself that this is it. This is my last, he is the man I will spend my yesterday, my today and my tomorrow with. He is the one for me. I love him. I'm so glad this isn't a dream.

This one was requested by @marjorieschiid and I do hope I have done okay. I tried to make it as best suited as to what I would have pictured marjoreece when they first started dating.
