Gabe p.o.v

After dinner with my mom and sister which mostly consisted of  Sky telling embarrassing stories about me from the time I could walk to the time the left. My mom walked us to the door. She hugged me and whispered.

“Don’t let her go Gabriel.” I knew she was serious. Sky came to hug me.

“I am glad to have you back. And I’m am so so so proud of you Gabe, you have no idea how good it feels to see that your doing so well. I mean it when I say this Gabe don’t you dare let her go. This girl needs you just as much as you need her” I nodded

“I think I may need her a little more after all she is angel.” I joked  Sky just looked at me.

“I can tell that this girl has a past and it took her a lot to let you in, but I can tell that she doesn’t regret that decision one bit. You need to hold her and make sure that she knows just how much you actually love her. And how much she makes you happy. I can absolutely tell that she does.” I looked over at Kate who was talking to my mom. I nodded and gave Sky one last hug.  We got in the car ready for the 2 hour drive home. On the way home I kept thinking about what Sky said. I looked over at Kate to see her smiling when she looked at me. I grabbed her hand and pulled over to the side of the long abandoned road. I turned and faced her she looked confused.

"Kate, you know that I love you and you make me the happiest guy in the world."

"Yeah." She said unsure.

"I don't think that you do. Babe, when you laugh did you know that your eyes brighten up. And I know it may sound super cheesy, but when you laugh that cute laugh that you do my heart literally melts. And Babe, when you smile you light up the room, maybe even the world. And if I were the sun I would be worried that I may loose my job cause you out shine him." She laughed.

"See just like that my heart melted. And when you hug me I have never felt so lucky Kate, when I am with you I feel like the luckiest guy in the world, because I know that if it wasn't for God I would have never ever got the chance to make you mine. And I would never be the guy I am when I am in your arms. God could have chose any guy in the world to be in your arms and he chose me. And when you hold my hand like the way you are right now. I'm feeling all twisted up. I can't really put into words how you make me feel, but all I know is when I am with you, I feel so new and complete. You were the missing puzzle piece to my life. You are all I need. And in my arms is where you belong. Kate, you make me so happy. You are my new home. I love you, Kate.

I kissed her cheek and turned on the radio and got out and walked over to her side and pulled her out of the car. Once we were in front of the headlights I put one of her hands on my shoulder and the other held mine. While I placed my hand on the lower part of her back.   And Stay by Rhianna played. We swayed back and fourth. And she just smiled at me. That smile that I said lit up the whole world. That smile that I would do anything and everything to see appear on her face. #Beautiful by Mariah Carey and Miguel came on. This is her song. The way the moonlight hit her face at the right angel and how the stars looked like they were twinkling in the background looked amazing. I started to sing to her. I looked her in the eyes while singing to her. She blushed as I sang to her.

"I am going to be here always love." I said at the end of the song. I wiped away a stray tear with my thumb. I smiled at the beautiful girl in front of me.

"I love you." She whispered

"I love you too." I kissed her and out of nowhere it started to rain. She gasped as she pulled away. I laughed. We were instantly soaked our clothes clung to our body. I didn't want her to get sick. I took off my blazer and wrapped it around her and she slid her arms though it. It was a little baggy on her, but she looked good. I twirled her around and her once straight hair was now curly. When she spun around her hair flew in the wind. She giggled as she spun. I wrapped my arms around her as her back was pressed to my front. I whispered in her ear.
