❝It was supposed to be nothing, really. But at some point it b...
IFsomeone has ever told you that miracles do happen. If someone has ever told you that love always wins. If someone has ever told you that some people are worth the wait . Then they were right. They were fucking correct.
Elliot Carter never believed in miracles until he found himself one, in the form of a girl.
Noelle Smiths never believed in love until she found herself giving her heart to a boy.
At that moment when Noelle ran into Elliot's embrace, she knew that everything will be all right. When he smelt her scent he knew that it was the only fragnence he wants to smell for the rest of his life.
If someone has ever told you that hugs can heal a person, then that was correct too. Because Noelle felt all her broken pieces glued together in his arms.
The thing was that they had wanted each other for so long that now all of this felt like an illusion. A sweet dream which would end soon and reality will again hit them like a cold bucket of water.
So she asked, "Is this a dream?" Once the first tear broke free , the rest followed in an unbroken stream.
"No. Fucking no! This is not a dream. You are here. We are here Noelle. Together. Forever."
"Forever is a long time. . . "
"But with you it's less than a heartbeat." He looked at her, for the first time, in her eyes. With so much love, tenderness and warmth that could thaw a frozen heart.
"I lov-"
"Shhh. Let me say it. Noelle Smiths, I am truly, madly, deeply in Love with you."
"Elliot Carter, I will love you till the day I leave my soul."
He smiled at her, pulling the loose strand of hair to the back.
"You have brown eyes. Like the color of nature and soil , something subtle but beautiful in every form and season. Like the color of hot chocolate on a cold chilly night. Like the color of sun kisses. Your eyes show a thousand untold stories that I want to read. They show mysteries that I want to solve. Be my Girlfriend Noelle Smiths and complete my wish."
Noelle burst into silent cries, in which your heart is slowly crying but no one can see. She thought to God, She wasn't too bad for all the punishments but also, not too good to deserve someone like Elliot.
But, when life gives you something, you take it. At that day she got her whole world.
"I will. I fucking will Elliot."
"I love it when you say my name."
"Elliot."She smiled and leaned in closer.
He kissed her forehead gently, a small act of affection that could not justify his love.
"I think the doctors are waiting for us, my little rebel."
"Did you expect me to sit there and fucking wait for you lazy ass to come? I had waited a long time Elliot. . . "
He dismissed her question and said,
"You asked me where I see myself in ten years, right?"
"Yeah?"
"In ten years, I see myself with you. I see myself waking up beside you every morning. I see myself kissing you whenever the hell I want. I see myself with you , for as far as I can see."
"Tell me again why haven't you kissed me?"
"Because I want to do it in our home. Not in this wretched hospital. "
"Oh ,Ok. I am looking forward to that, just that you know."
"Whatever you wish for, beautiful. You are afterall, -" Noelle looked at him with a smile as he spoke ,"-my Pizza Hut substitute."
