As we ate our breakfast, all I could think about how much I actually loved being with Nick. Given the fact that he turned into a criminal, our relationship has been going pretty good so far. I was enjoying spending some time with him again. I actually forgot how it was before he started doing criminal acts, seeing him change makes everything better. I know I want to spend the rest of my life with him now. I couldn’t believe I wasn’t there for him more after high school. I really love this man, and I know he loves me the same.
“So, babe, do you want me to see if my boss will take you in?” I ask.
“Please,” he laughed a little. “It would be so amazing to actually work with you.”
I let out a soft giggle. “But what happens at home, stays at home, if you get the job.”
“Fair enough,”
I grabbed his hand over the table, rubbing his hand with my thumb. “Are you excited?”
“About trying to get a job?” I nodded in response. “I am, especially since you’re helping me.”
I smiled at him softly.

That night, after talking to my manager and looking at a few other places, we were lying down in my apartment watching one of our favorite movies. Towards the middle of the movie, Nick had gotten a call. “Hello?” .. “Yes it is.”.. “Okay, awesome. I can’t wait.” ..”See you then!” I couldn’t get a word in when he hung up. “That was your manager, and I got the job!” he was jumping for joy. “I knew you’d get it!” I gave him a kiss, and I could tell he was smiling during the kiss. “Now we’re officially working together on Monday. And I’m going to be training with you.” He said. “Well, I am one of the best servers there.” I let out a soft laugh.

The next morning, which was Sunday morning, we had our own ‘little celebration’ to honor Nick getting a job. I even told him the inside scoop of everyone that works there, and some usuals..that if they are nice or not. I even had prepped him that night for his big day tomorrow. I’m extremely grateful that my manager decided to hire him. The next morning, though, will put Nick to the real test. The test being if he can handle having a job and not think about doing anything criminally. It’s not that I don’t trust him, it’s the fact that he showing how much he changed. It’s the feeling that I don’t want him to mess this up, because if he does, it will cost him his job, and my job, which neither of us wants. I really am hoping he doesn’t mess this up. It will be ugly if he does. I cross my heart that he behaves and doesn’t do something stupid. It will put a strain on our relationship most of all, and I don’t want us being a thing in the past. I want us to be a thing for now and forever. I want to grow old with him, have children with him, and watch our grandchildren grow up. I want to be with him forever. I don’t care if we go to hell and back multiple times, I want this man until my last breath. I will always want him. I have always wanted him. I can’t hide my feelings anymore. My love is too strong. A strain on our relationship or not, I will go to the ends of the earth to show him how much I love him and appreciate him. I don’t care what everyone else things. They don’t know how I feel about him. I want to be his Mrs. Jonas, not just some ex that he forgets about in 10 years. I want to be his now and forever. I want to be old and still feel the same love then like how it is now. I don’t want anything to change between us. Not ever. I will fight for him until my dying day. He holds the key to my heart. He always will. I hold the key to his heart, and I always will.
“Dem? Are you okay?” I heard him ask, and suddenly snapped out of my thoughts.
“Oh, yeah,” I tell him, trying not to make it seem I was thinking about our relationship. “I was just thinking about a few things.”
“Like what?”
I bit my lip debating if I should tell him or not.
“Us, well, mostly you,” I blurt out. “Just how lucky I am to have you and how much I love you.” I looked away, to avoid his look, I had a feeling it would be bad.
“Well, guess what?” he grabbed my face pulling it back to meet his gaze. “I’m extremely lucky to have you. And I love you to the moon and back” I kissed him without any hesitation. The amount of excitement I had when he said that, made me love him even more. Maybe we really are meant to be. Maybe this is out time. After all the crap that we went through together, it was finally our time to be finally a couple. I don’t mind it, at all. I enjoy being with him. I enjoy us. I know I will enjoy our future.
