the forgotten girl

chapter 7 (1 year later)

    One year after I graduated. I was still together with Cole. It was my 20th birthday. "Happy birthday Rain." Cole said. "Thanks." I said with a smile. I was excited to be twenty years old I finally could marry. I wanted to marry someone soon but I didn't know who. "Hey mind telling me who the person you know in going to marry yet?" I asked Cole. "Almost time but not yet." Cole said. "Oh come on please." I said looking at him with puppy dog eyes. "It won't work I'm not telling you just yet." Cole said with a smirk. He's teasing me. Why won't he tell me who it is. I really want to know. I have tried to ask ask him so many times. And of course he says "just wait a little longer." it gets so irritating. Wouldn't you be irritated too? Anyways we went to the park it was nice and warm it was just becoming summer. He took me to the mall. "Pick out what ever you like." Cole said. "Are you sure?" I asked.  "Yeah go ahead." he said. "Pick a store and chose something you like I saved up a lot of money for this day." he said excited. I smiled and chose a store I chose hot topic and chose out a anime action figure. "Is that what you want?" Cole asked. "Yep!" I said smiling confidently. "Ok lets go check out then." Cole said with a smile. He grabbed my hand and we walked to the checkout counter. He bought the kirito action figure. Kirito is from sao (sword art online) one of my favorite anime's. We walked to his car and he drove me home. He stayed for a while and we ended up falling asleep again. I woke up at 4:00am its happened a lot lately. I couldn't go back to sleep so I stared at Cole who was still hugging me and watched him sleep. He woke up at 6:00am. He saw me staring at him smiling. I quickly turned my head away. He put his hand on my face and turned my head so I was looking at him. He pulled my face closer to his and kissed me. "Good morning sweetheart." Cole said with a smile. "Morning." I said blushing and smiling. I was happy he stayed all night. I didn't want to wake up alone again. "You must have had a good dream you didn't move at all." Cole said smiling. "Yeah I did actually, it could also be that you were hugging me all night." I said smiling back. I always have good dreams when Cole sleeps over. But when he doesn't I feel like I'm insecure, and I have nightmares. "I'm glad you stayed, I don't think I would sleep very well." I said feeling tears coming to my eyes. But I held them back so I didn't cry in front of him again.
