Unexpected Romance // Alex Aiono

Chapter 9

As I'm sitting here on the phone I'm completely frozen because I just got alex I don't want to lose him"Can I think about it?"
"Sure honey take you time, when you are ready let your grandpa and I know."
"Okay, love you"
"Love you too"
*hangs up*
My mind went blank, the only thing I could think of now was alex.. he's gonna be heartbroken, we just started dating.
Alex was looking at me, Finally, I get the courage to look at him in the eyes and give him a fake smile.
"Babe are you sure everything is ok? You look worried" he says "alex I'm fine this day can't get any better" I say smiling but deep down I'm crying inside. He then walks over to the table and pulls my chair out for me to sit down he has the most sweetest smile on his face oh my god I can't lose him. "Babe come sit and let's eat" he says "ok" I say smiling back at him doing what he says.
"Alex I feel like we should get to know eachother alittle better what's your family like? What's your favorite color,food and hobby?" he looks at me with his eyes wide like he's in shock "Woah baby one question at a time" he says laughing
"I'm sorry" I give him another fake smile but I know I'm only asking alot because I know I might leave soon so I have to cherish this moment with him.
"First my favorite color and food is red and sushi my favorite thing to do is writing and singing. About my family my parents names were Gerald and Loren Aiono and I have no brothers or sisters" When he said were my heart instantly dropped what happened to them? I'm so scared to ask him.

"w-wait alex were where are they now? Are they ok? I ask with worry "well they died in a c-car crash" he says with tears in his eyes " I'm so sorry I asked alex I'm sorry I'm sure your parents wouldn't want you crying and upset. Maybe one day we can go visit them to put flowers down and you can show me pictures of them. "Well my parent's are not burried here they are in Arizona and I don't really have pictures of them. They died when i was a baby and with all the moving I lost most of the pictures." he says with tears still in his eyes I grab his hands to comfort him I see him look up at me with a smile and I could tell I was making him feel better. "No babe you asked I have to be strong and tell you. They were hit by a drunk driver and their car hit a tree but the driver didn't even stop my parents died instantly. I was later taken in by my grandparents I'm so thankful for them because they always helped me I don't know what I'd had done without them. They passed away a couple years back but I'm glad they are together." he says with a sweet little smirk on his face "But enough of my sad life babe let's enjoy our date"
After dinner we went for a nice walk on the beach "Alex I have to tell you something my grandparents want me to move to Kansas with them they leave in 2days" I'm so scared how he will react.
"W-What do you mean? Your leaving? B-Baby please don't leave I just got you." he turns pale and he looks really upset and deep down I can't help but to cry inside we both have to be strong I know we will make it while I'm away.

He looks at me with tears in his eyes and a shaky voice uttering the words  "s-so are you gonna leave?"

"Yes, I think it's best for me, and for my grandparents to be with family"

The first tear fell from his cheek and from then on it seemed endless. I was doing my best to hold back my tears but seeing him cry this much broke my heart. So I pulled him in for a hug and rubbed his back until he calmed down I held his face in my hands and all he kept saying was don't go.  But I know this is what's best for me holding back my tears,  I looked him in his eyes and said "listen to me alex, you will always have me. No matter where I am our bond will never break I love how safe you make me feel when l'm around you I love you so much alex" It took me awhile to realize what I'd just said oh my god I just said I loved him. I looked to alex to see his reaction he had a glow on his face and just smiled at me the next thing I know he's holding me in his arms and he kisses me for a minute it felt like nothing else mattered and it was just us.
