What We Kept Secret

Chapter 10

We ate and talked about everything and anything and it got dark out fast. The way he looked standing under the moonlight and the stringed up lights hanging above us made my heart beat fast.
"Cher?" He asked making me stop my gaze of looking at him
"Yeah?" I asked smiling
"Dance with me." He said standing up and holding his hand out for me to take
"Theres no music." I said laughing
"Just listen to my heart beat." He said smiling as I took his hand
We might have looked like the biggest fools dancing with no music on but it was the most romantic thing that I have ever done.
"JJ you know you are the most beautiful women I have ever seen." He said picking my chin up to look him in the eyes
"The moment you walked on to that crime scene I was left speechless. I even gave you a nickname I havent used since I was a kid. I knew in that moment I wanted to make you mine." He said with the grin I fell in love with
"Will I dont know what to say." I said smiling
"Dont say anything." He said pulling me into a deep kiss. We stayed like that for a couple minutes before it started raining
We started laughing and continued
"Lets get home before you melt. I heard sugar melts in the rain." He said walking me over to the truck
We drove hand and hand the whole way home and I couldnt help but look at him the whole time.
"Whats on your mind beautiful?" He asked as we stopped at a light
"I think Im starting to develop deep feelings for you." I said dropping my gaze to look out the window.
"I knew that from the moment I first laid eyes on you." He said before he started driving again
For the rest of the night we watched movies and went to bed.

I woke up the next morning not hearing any sounds of him making breakfast again. I walked out seeing the blankets were all made up on the couch. I walked into the kitchen seeing a note on the coffee machine
Cher,
Sorry I wasnt here when you woke up. Its Sunday and that means church day. I wasnt sure if you went to church but I didnt want to push you to go. I will make it up when I get back with lunch.
Xoxo,
Will

I read the letter over and over. He was a pure gentleman. I wasnt really a church goer but maybe I might become one again. I made coffee and got ready to wait for him to come back.

Wills POV

She was perfect. I thought to myself as I opened her door a little to see the sleeping beauty myself. I left to go to church or at least thats what I told her. I felt bad for lying but I needed to get this done.
I walked to my truck and got in and drove into town. I pulled up to the mall knowing there would be a Tiffany's in there. Many people would think I was crazy but I knew the moment I first met her I was going to marry her. I walked in and was asked right away what I could be helped with. I didnt need any I knew I was there for one reason only. To pick out the right ring for Jennifer.
I left the store empty handed. None of the rings spoke to me. It was hard to find the right ring for a girl who deserves the world. Maybe I should take it as a sign that I should wait just a little bit longer.

Fun fact. The part of them dancing to no music is really based off of my relationship. 😊
