Our Love Goes On and On

Memories

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you."

Roman had been trying to get me to go to this really 'awesome' place he found all day. I was reluctant, only because he wouldnt tell me where he 'found' it at.

"I promise, babe, you'll love it."

"I better. I've been looking for an excuse to break up with you for months."

He smirked, "Oh?"

"I mean, your tattoo is just beautiful, so I can't use that. Your body is just perfect in every single way, so I can't use that either. Your face makes any woman's panties drop, so I'm stuck, Ro."

"Stuck?" he slowly walked closer to where I was in the small kitchen, "Why are you stuck?"

Roman finally made it into the kitchen and placed me on the counter, "You're too perfect."

I wasnt really the sappy, romantic type, but somehow Roman brought that out in me. I loved it, though. He made me feel ways that I never knew I could feel.

"Come on, let's go."

I hopped down from the counter and we left my apartment. Roman grabbed my hand, lacing our fingers together as he led us down the road.

"How far away is it?"

"Just a few blocks. I found it on my run this morning."

"Alright." It was silent as we walked about another block, but I stopped, which made him stop too. "Can I get a piggyback ride?"

Roman chuckled, "Of course."

He got me up on his back and I giggled when he had to place his hands under my butt to keep me steady. He began to walk again, and soon we got to this woody area behind the Downtown Mall.

"Are you going to kill me, Roman? I'm too young to die."

"I'm not going to kill you, calm down." Roman stopped walking right when he got to a cliff, "Isn't this beautiful?"

"Yeah, it is."

It was dark outside, and the way the moon shined down on the water and the way it looked in the sky, almost made me lose my breath.

"It looked exactly like this when I went running early this morning."

"It's beautiful, Ro."

"This reminds of you."

"Why?"

"It's beautiful, just like you...and I love it." My breath got caught in my throat, "I love you."

I held onto him tighter and kissed his neck, "You love me?"

"Yeah, I do. We've been dating for almost six months, I've gotten to know so much about you, and I love everything."

"That's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me, baby."

"When we get married and have kids, remember this, okay?"

"I will, I promise."

I snapped out that memory and focused my attention back to the meeting I was supposed to be interested in.

It had been a long time. A little too long. I missed him. I missed him like crazy, actually, and not seeing him for the last two months didnt help at all.

Ada finally started working again, and she chose my school. It had only been about a month, but she made the days more tolerable.

Ada nudged me, "Are you okay?"
