I Got You (Student/Teacher) ON HOLD

25 Why

"I've been thinking." I turned to face Keir. It was Saturday and we were watching a movie at home.

"Should I be scared?" He joked. I pushed him playfully and he chuckled. "What have you been thinking?"

"Do you really want to marry me?"

"Wha..? Of course! Where did this come from?" He asked quickly coming closer to me.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm one hundred plus infinity percent sure." He smiled. "Why are you having doubts? Do you not want to get married? Do you want to marry me?" He began to panic.

I reached over and grabbed his hands. "No, I want to marry you and only you."

He sighed with relief. "Then why question if I want to marry you, love?" I shrugged and looked away from him. "Somethings bothering you. What is it?"

"Why do you love me?" I questioned. "I'm nothing special."

"You are to me." He pulled me on his lap and stared at me. "You want to know why I love you?" I nodded. "When I first moved here I was scared. I didn't know anyone. Then a week after I was here I bump into the most beautiful girl I've ever set my eyes on. I thought I was a creeper being twenty three and thinking you, a fourteen year old, was incredibly cute. But we clicked and hit it off right away. You were the first friendly face and more than willing to help me out. The more I got to know you the more I realized how mature you were. Everything you did made me smile and I found myself happy just being around you. I didn't care if we spoke, As long as you were with me I was over the moon. By the time you turned fifteen I knew I had a crush on you." He stopped and placed a soft kiss on my nose. "I tired to ignore my feelings towards you since you were so young. I even dated.."

"The bitch." I muttered making him laugh.

"Yes. But I couldn't. I was in a battle between my head and my heart. And my heart won. I had to tell you. So I did when you turned sixteen. Again I was over the moon when you told me you liked me too." He smiled at the memory. "Now back to the question at hand. Never doubt my love for you Harper Rae. I'm in love with everything about you. The way you say my name sends chills down my spine. I love the sound of your laugh. I love your voice. I could listen to you talk all day long. I love the way your eyes sparkle when you're excited about something. I love how you blush. I love how you cuddle up to me in the middle of the night. I love your nose. I think your ears are the cutest things ever. I love how you sing when you think I'm not here. I love how shy you are about certain things. I love how you're not afraid to take charge sometimes." I repositioned myself to straddled his waist and rested my hands on the back of his neck while he's stayed on my waist. He smiled at me and continued, keeping eye contact with me. "You make me feel things I've never felt before. I feel like you and I were made for each other. Our hands and our bodies fit perfectly together."

"Keir." I started to say. 

"Shh. Let me continue." He said. "You are not only my love, but you are also my best friend. I can't see my life without you in in." He placed a kiss on my cheek before he started speaking again. "You are the best thing that's ever happened to me. If I could go back and meet you earlier I would, just to be able to spend more time with you." He tightened his grip on me a little. "I want to marry you, because I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I see a future with you. And that's something I never saw in anyone before you. I want a family with you." He smiled and I couldn't help but smile back. We never really talked about kids, but knowing he wanted some with me made my heart skip a beat. "I might have spotted your looks at first but after getting to know you, I fell for all of you. I know someday age will creep up on you, and me. But I will still love you because looks aren't as important as whats on the inside."

"Shut up and kiss me." I whispered.

"Taking charge. I like it." He growled attacking my lips with his.

This man right here was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. The one I wanted to marry. The one I wanted to have children with. The one who makes my heart do flips with just a simple touch or a smile. I couldn't picture my life without him.

I pulled back from the kiss and pecked his lips once more before resting my forehead against his. "I love you more than anything."

"I love you so much more. Never doubt that. You mean so much to me. Don't think for one second that you don't. I can't wait to marry you because then there will be nothing stopping us from being us."

"You're still my teacher."

"I was your boyfriend first. Being a teacher is just a job. You are my life. I'd give up being a teacher in a heartbeat just to be with you all the time."
