Love is In the Cosmos

21: Thinking Out Loud

" I now understand why you were so upset." Cody says before taking a bite of his spaghetti

I take a bite of mine too and think about how peaceful it is to be with him again and find myself thinking about all the times he'd always been there to pick me up when I was down when we were together.

" I did it because I care about you Angel." He says

I look at him and realize that I just said everything I was thinking out loud.

I smile at him.

" I know." I say

He smiles too.

" I want to explain something to you. I want you to know what happened that day with Kelly at your house. I didn't-."

I stop him before he can finish.

" I know all about it Cods, Paige told me everything when she thought I had enough time to clear my head and calm down." I tell him

He stares at me.

" If you knew what happened then why haven't you talked to me before now?" Cody asks

I put down my fork and walk around the table and sit in the chair beside him. He turns to face me.

" I didn't plan on ever talking to you again Cody, but when I was sitting in that elevator earlier crying and feeling so lost and low. I found myself wanting to be saved and wanting Superman to save me and I was picturing you in my head the whole time. When you showed up that's when I knew that I love you and that I'll never stop loving you. You're such a big part of me. When I first thought that you cheated with Kelly I felt a part of me shatter into a million little pieces. Since then I've been trying to figure out how to put them back together again." I say

He takes my hand in his and presses a kiss on my wrist then looks into my eyes

" I'm sorry if you're heart shattered because you thought I'd hurt you. I would never do that I've always told you that since day one you know that. If you'll let me I want to put that beautiful heart back together again starting now. I love you too Angel." Cody says

I nod and lean in. When our lips touch that's all it takes to let me know that no matter what we will never be apart again and that we will always love each other.
