"Come on. It'll be fun. I promise"
"Don't make promises you can't keep Reece", I remind him playfully.
He pulls on my hand a little and looks at me, making his eyes big and sticking out his lower lip.
"No", I say for the millionth time that morning.
"Yes", he argues.
"No. Reece you know how I feel about cameras", I remind him of my dislike for the media and watch him frown again.
"Y/n you are the most beautiful-"
"Bullshit", I interrupt.
"Ugh will you let me finish. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on. The moment I saw you, my whole world flipped. Everything I knew meant nothing, because I didn't know you. The moment I made you mine, that was the best decision I ever made. When I look at you, I can never tell what you see when you look in the mirror. I can never figure you out no matter how hard I try. How do you not see how stunning you are?"
Tears well in my eyes at his words. Reece has always told me how he feels about me but this is the most beautiful thing anyone's ever said to me.
"Your scars and your past mean absolutely nothing to me. Nothing at all because I love you"
There it is. Those three words. They hit me like a bullet. After two years, you'd think I'd be prepared. I'm never prepared for anything Reece does.
"I love you too", I whisper, choking on a sob. I wipe my eyes on my sleeve.
"Will you please come to this damn red carpet with me?", he asks exasperated.
Instead of shaking my head and saying no I let out a shaky breath and sigh.
"I have nothing to wear"
"You have a whole wardrobe full of clothes", he says, typical guy.
I snort "none worthy of a freaking red carpet", I roll my eyes.
"I don't give a damn what you wear. You'll still be as stunning as ever. Go in those sweatpants for all I care", he nods down at his old grey sweatpants I've been wearing and I giggle.
"Yeah while you're wearing a suit. Nah-ah", suddenly I'm laughing. Reece has turned my mood from grumpy to sad to happy to a giggling mess and back again in the space of half an hour.
"I'll wear a tracksuit too", he laughs and I watch his lip curl back as he smiles at me again.
"Okay but don't tell Blake and George then they'll look like idiots not us", I laugh imagining myself on a red carpet.
A flash of fear goes through me as I remember the cameras but I brush it off, knowing I'll have Reece by my side the whole time.
