Finally Found Her (Completed)

Chapter 27: Promise

Ryder's POV

I open my eyes and wake up to the bright sun shining in my eyes. I look over to my right and see my other sunshine sleeping soundly. She looks beautiful with her lips slightly parted, and her hair sprawled out against the pillows. I pull her closer to me in the bed, and she begins to stir in her sleep. I stop any movement so I don't wake her. Once she stops moving, I can't help myself as I trail my fingers under her shirt and begin to caress her soft smooth skin.

I was never a morning person until I got the amazing opportunity to wake up to this beautiful girl laying next to me. I go to sleep with her in my arms, and wake up to the same thing. It's how I'm gonna spend the rest of my life and that thought alone makes me smile.

Jasmine starts to waken as her eyes flutter open. As soon as her eyes focus, she smiles at me and God knows when Jasmine smiles, the world smiles back.

"Good morning." She whispers.

"Good morning. I'm sorry if I woke you up." I pull her closer to me and start to leave little kisses from her collarbone up to her neck.

"It's completely fine if I get to wake up to this." She lightly laughs. I pull back and look into her eyes.

"Happy birthday." I say and place a soft kiss on her lips. When I pull back her eyes light up.

"Thank you. I almost forgot." She admits. I let out a small laugh.

"How do you forget your own birthday?"

"I don't know," she shrugs, "other more important things have been on my mind."

"Like what?" I ask.

"Like you..." She admits bashfully. The smile on my face grows even more, which I didn't know was possible.

"God I love you." I say looking into her eyes and pulling her closer to me. I get out of bed and quickly walk over to her side and pick her up.

"What are you doing?" She laughs.

"I'm gonna make you a birthday breakfast." I say. I carry her down the stairs and all the way to our kitchen. I set her down so she's sitting on the counter.

"What are you gonna make?" Jas ask . She pulls me in by the waistband of my sweat pants, so I'm standing in between her legs.  I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her forehead.

"Your favorite," She looks at me impressed, "I've kind of been practicing cooking with my mom for this." A smile grows on her face.

"Really? Just to make me breakfast?"

"Well yeah. But not just breakfast. I want to be able to cook for you if we're spending our lives together."

"Wow I love you." She smiles at me. I smile and give her a kiss on the lips.

I make Jasmine's favorite breakfast that consist of an omelette with a bunch of different things inside and pancakes. The whole time she sits on the counter and watches me and it's distracting. Not because it's pressure, but because I could look at her all day. In her natural state, in a big t shirt and messy bed hair, she still is a sight for sore eyes. Her beauty is a distraction and I don't want to take my eyes off her.

"What?" Jas ask after I have been looking at her for quite some time.

"Nothing." I smile shaking my head. I place her food in front of her usual seat at our kitchen table and place mine next to hers.

"It looks amazing," She says as she hops off the counter. She jumps into my arms giving me a koala hug, "Thank you." She sits down at the table then looks up at me, "Well come sit." She pats the chair next to her like an excited kid. I have a better idea. I walk over to her and pick her up. I sit down on her chair then sit her down so she's sitting comfortably in my lap. She turns around and smirks at me. I simply kiss her cheek in response.
