Ronnie's POV

As we argued for 30 minutes on who paid the bill, Colby slammed 2 twenties on the waiters station and practically dragged me out,

"I feel like I'm having a baby, a big fat food baby" Colby groaned as we walked hand in hand,

"Well.. talking about babies" I said hesitantly.

Colby dropped his hand from mine and looked at me with shock,

"Wait" he choked out,

".. I was going to say they were cute" I reply with my head tilted.

I never knew he wanted kids.

I have always wanted a family and such but I never knew that Colby did too?

"Oh" he mumbled to himself and continued to walk by my side.

An arm drapped over my shoulder, warming me up as the stars glisened above us,

"Would you like to have kids?" I asked with my new curiosity burning inside of me,

"Yes but only if you wanted to" he replied while stroking my shoulder with his fingertips,

"I would love to but I never knew that you wanted to",

"I've always wanted a big family that I could say I made and raised especially if I got to do it with you" he said smiling to himself.

I felt like crying.

Being with Colby over these past two years has taught me so much.

I finally know what love is.

He has taught me how to love.

What we have is so pure and real.

It was so perfect and I couldn't be happier,

"That means alot, thank you." I stop him in his track, holding both his hands.

I was so thankful for him and I honestly couldn't live without him,

"Its okay. I mean the purpose of a relationship is to grow old and marry them someday, not just to pass time" he stated, gripping my hands a little tighter.

I wrap my hands around his neck and rest my head on his chest.

His hands on my waist.

We stand there, in the spot of the middle of the road.

Late at night with no one around,

"Dance with me?" Colby says aloud, stepping back and holding out his hand,

"I- I uh you know I can't dance" I say hesitantly,

"Oh shut up. I've seen that body move in all different directions and I know you can dance so please take my hand?" He said sternly but also stood like a gentleman.

It's not like I'm embarrassing myself, no one is around.

I hold up my hand, placing it in his palm.

I pulls me close to him again and puts one foot forward, moving with grace.

I follow his movements to the best of my ability, shuffling along the hard tarmac.

His hand wraps around my waist, once again and mine gently on his shoulder.

I don't apply pressure.

Even though it has been about 5 months, I still feel like I'm going to hurt him.

I leans down to my height,

"Happy anniversary" he says,

"Is it 12 already?" I say shocked.

We had been out all night and I haven't even noticed,

"Yes, time goes quickly these days" he mumbled as his cheek folds up against my shoulder,

"Happy anniversary and here is to a hundred more!" I shout out at the top of my lungs, throwing my arms up in victory.

I had done this.

All on my own.

If it wasn't for that one night that I went to that party, even when I didn't really want to.

I would have probably never went further with Colby than that conversation from his window.

Really though, Sam is the real one to thank for all this.

He introduced us both.

And weirdly, we both bonded over cleaning his room that was covered in silly string.

No matter what life throws at us.

We fight it and come out from the battle stronger.

We have gained a few scars and a few have healed.

Colby picked me up and spun me around, both of us screaming and shouting like a couple of idiots.

I felt as though I was in a movie.

It didn't feel real because nothing this good can possibly exist in a world like this.

He grabbed my face and smashed his lips into mine, holding my close.

And I wouldn't trade this for anything else in the world.
