I'm Willing To Wait For You (A Hamilton College AU)

Chapter 40

A Promise

Alexander's P.O.V

I feel a pair of lips on my nose. My eyes lids fluttered open. My eyes are met with John's brown freckles. He has a lopsided grin on his face.

"Good morning beautiful", he says. He kisses me again, this time on my cheek.

"Good morning my love", I say. This time I kiss him right on his lips.

I don't feel like getting up, so I keep laying​ there next to him. His shirt is off, and I use my finger to trace the freckles on his bare chest. His freckles create beautiful, complex, constellations across his body.

John starts to giggle. "Alex stop it! That tickles!", he chokes out.

"Oh really?", I say. I run my hand faster up and down his side's, eliciting more shrieks and giggles.

When tears of laughter form in his eyes, I stop tickling him. He slides closer to me, intertwining our fingers.

"Alexander, I love you", he says. I blush at the usage of my full name.

"I love you to John."

He stares at me. No not at me, into me. His eyes gaze at me with a questioning look as if trying to solve some unknown mystery.

"What?", I ask.

He sits up in bed. "What do you want to do after college?", he says.

"Well, I'm thinking about moving uptown", I begin, sitting up with him. "I heard it quiet there."

John nods like he expects me to go on.

"I'm thinking about going into politics. Probably a lawyer, but I could always work up to a higher office. Once I start working and stuff, I kinda want start a family", I say. I notice his face light up. "You know, settle down, have a some kids."

"Oh", says John. He looks disappointed.

"Babe what's wrong?"

"It's just......... You have everything planned, and I have no idea what I'm doing. And I don't know, I just always thought................. Nevermind."

"John", I say.

"I just always thought that we had a future together."

His head is down, but I use my thumb to lift it up.

"John, what do you mean? Of course we have a future together. Who did you think was going to help me raise my children?", I say.

"Really?"

"Really."

Tears start to form in his eyes. I take his face into my hands and kiss the tears away. Our lips connect, and he smiles into the kiss.

This is beautiful.

Sorry it was so short you guys. I'll make up with it in the next chapter. Speaking of the next chapter, it may or may not be the last one! It's funny cause I've had this chapter written for a while but I wanted wait until I had more of the next chapter written.

Thanks you guys for your continued support of this book. It's amazes how many reads this has gotten, because personally I think my writing sucks.

The next chapter will be up in a few days so bear with me. Thanks again.
