Just Him & I

17.

"What's up babe?" I ask, intertwining my fingers in his. He looked sad, just playing with my small hands, well, small compared to his. "Just thinking about Nelly and my birthday tomorrow" he replied. "Aww Will, don't be upset, she'll always be with you, and so will I. I need to ask you a question though" I said, whilst he crossed his legs and sat himself up. "Go on", he says eagerly, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Will you... move in with me?" I say, putting my arms around the back of his head. Will's eyes instantly lit up like he'd just won a million pounds. "Oh my god! Of course I will baby!" He says, within a few seconds, grasping my face and crashing his lips into mine. I was going to wait until tomorrow for his birthday but I couldn't keep it in. Will pulls away after a couple of seconds and hugs me tight, almost too tight. He looks at me, I see tears welling up in his eyes. He's so happy. For the rest of the day, he hugs me whatever I'm doing. Now I know, he's always going to be there. I don't have to be afraid anymore. A few hours pass and it's 6:00pm. Will picks up the takeaway menu and slumps on the sofa next to me. "What do you fancy for dinner then?" I ask, linking his arm. "You" he chuckled. I giggled and looked at the menu. "I fancy a cheese burger kids meal" I said pointing at my choice. "I might have a pizza... then you" He says with a cheeky smirk.
