forbidden love

chapter 4: my boyfriend

parker and i had been unofficially dating for a month now and i just have to say it's been amazing. he's literally everything i've ever wanted in a boyfriend.  we've always been so close so the whole boyfriend girlfriend thing is kinda weird to think about. but it's definitely a good weird. now he's my boyfriend. parker woods. what a beautiful name. what a beautiful man.

i sigh exasperated as another thought interrupts my parker woods day dreams. victoria. but she's at college we don't need to worry about her now.

ding dong

the doorbell snaps me out of my fantasizing so i get up from my bed and go to the door. i become all giddy when i see who's at the door.

"hello my beautiful lia," parker says to me and i can't help but soon at how perfect he is. perfect eyes. perfect hair. perfect face. perfect jaw. perfect arms. perfect personality. perfect everything. the word that he reminds me of most is definitely perfect.

he sees my staring and laughs then pulls me into one of his perfect hugs.

"lia, lia, lia. what am i going to do if you can't stop swooning?"

i smile into his chest when he says that and he kisses the top of my head. i look up at his blue eyes. perfect.

"hey i brought you something," parker excitedly.

"yeah?" i laugh as parker runs out to his car.

when he comes back in he's holding something behind his back but i can see the flowers peeking out from behind him.

"what is it? let me see," i whine trying to get a peek.

"hold on," parker grins, " close your eyes."

i make a face at him and close my eyes.

i hear him shuffling a little more then he says, "ok i'm ready. open your eyes."

i open my eyes and parker is holding a small black velvet jewelry box and flowers with a card.

"happy one month anniversary my beautiful lia."

"parker!" i gasp and throw my arms around him.

"you haven't even opened the box yet!"

"ok ok," i laugh.

we sit down on the couch and he sets the box on my lap. "open it," he tells me.

i open the box to a beautiful silver chain with a simple star. (see picture at the bottom) i saw a note in the box and picked it up to read it. "because you are my sun, my moon, and all of my stars"

i smiled at the necklace and thought it was a such a small gesture but such a sweet thoughtful one. i looked up at parker who was nervously smiling at me to see my reaction. when he saw how happy i was a huge smile spread across his face.

"thank you parker i love it," i tell him while giving him a soft hug and a kiss.

"anything for you my love."

i smile at parker because he's just so sweet. he can do the smallest things but have the most meaning behind it.

he pulls me into him so my back is against his stomach and i'm sitting between his legs. he intertwines our fingers together and i think i could stay like this forever. safe in his arms where nothing can get to me.

"i'm going to miss you while your in iowa," parker sighs, "i wanted to spend some us time."

"i know me too parker. i wish i could stay but my dad seemed really excited for 'family bonding time.'"

parker just sighs and weasels his head in the crook of my neck and i smile to myself.

i watch our fingers how they intertwine to eachother almost like the roots of trees. parker is my roots. he keeps me grounded and i love him for that. in this small simple moment i don't think i've ever felt more content.
