What We Kept Secret

Chapter 11

I must have fell asleep waiting for Will to come back from church because I opened my eyes and he was sitting next to me on the couch.
"When did you get back? Why didnt you wake me?" I asked looking at him
"Twenty minutes ago and because you looked beautiful." He said smiling making me blush
"What are our crazy plans today?" I asked yawning
"I was thinking of taking it easy and having a day in." He said smiling
"Whatever you want is fine with me." Getting back to how I was
"Who was the guy that hurt you?" He asked out of no where
"What do you mean?" I asked confused
"It doesnt take a profiler to notice that you have been hurt before." He said grabbing my hand and getting closer to me
"I dont want to scare you off." I laughed thinking about Hunter
"You tell me yours and I will tell you mine." He said smiling and being open.
"Its a long story." I said not wanting to open up
"I got time." He said tucking a strand of hair behind my ear

I started from the beginning.
"I met him my freshman year of college, we hit it off right away. We both were journalist majors but mine was in investigative journalism. He became my everything until my senior year of college. The first semester I received a call from my mom to come home as fast as I could. I wasnt sure what it was but I knew it wasnt good by the sound of her voice. My dad suffered a stroke and it didnt look good. Hunter refused to be there for me during it all and never came to be with me for the funeral. I returned back to school and walked into our apartment we shared. I heard sounds from the bedroom and I walked in with him and my best friend on top of him. It crushed me. From that point on I threw myself into work got another degree in criminal justice and started working for the FBI as a communications liaison at twenty five. I made sure I wouldnt fall in love again. But here I am falling in love with you." I told him as he wiped the tears from my face
"I can promise you this. I will never ever do that to you. You are too beautiful and perfect for me. I already see my future with you, I see us getting married and having kids." He said sounding embarrassed
"You really see that in me?" I asked not fully understanding how he could see that
"Yes. And if you let me I will make sure I never disappoint you and to love you forever." He said as tears still streamed down my face.
"I told you mine whats yours?" I asked remembering he had his own story
"Well, I was high school sweet hearts with Debbie. We grew up together and went to SMU together. After college we came back and I started in the police force. When Katrina hit she went to Texas to stay with family while I stayed here to help with victims. My Daddy died and she never came back. She wrote me a letter saying she got a new job and met another guy. I was going to propose to her on the playground I met here on from when we were seven." He said playing with my hand
"Im sorry Will." Was all I could say. I was still processing he was going to propose to her.
"Im not." He said looking up at me with a small smirk as I gave him a confused look
"If she didnt run away from me than I wouldnt have been looking at the one I am meant to love for the rest of my life." He said before kissing me
"Im falling in love with you William LaMontange Jr." i said as we pulled away
"Ive been in love with you since day one Jennifer Jareau." He said making me smile.

The rest of the week seemed to fly by fast. We had to much fun in that short little while. He took me catfish fishing, line dancing, anything and everything country. I knew I could get use to living life with a southern man, it was something fun every second of the day. It was Friday night and I leave the next morning. Will told me to wear something nice because we were going out on a nice date.
