Puppy Dog Eyes

I regained my breath as Declan rubbed my shoulders with his warm hands placing his head on top of mine as he began talking me through my panic attack, as he usually does. "Declan I'm a messed up girl with a disease. Wouldn't you want some super sweet loving girl who will live?" I can't get that question out of my mind. He always answers it in the best ways but somehow I never believe him.

Deep inside my heart I know he is telling the truth but my mind keeps denying it. "Sweetheart, you're my world and I wouldn't have it anyway. Why do you have to keep asking me that? You're my future. I can already see it! I love you and you already know. Why do you keep denying it?" I looked down at his hands entwined with mine. I began to mess with moving his fingers around. Bending them this way and that, it's my nervous habit. I shrugged "I know you wouldn't. I can't stop thinking that in a blink you say that and then you vanish. This is perfect Declan but I feel like it will all leave me as soon as I start believing that you really want to stay. I don't know why I can't accept the fact that this is real and won't disappear!"

He shook his head and let out a little laugh before kissing my temple. "We should get back to cooking love," he informed me. I had nearly forgot that we had planned on cooking dinner. I hope the food wasn't burned or stuck to the frying pan! I gasped and quickly jumped up and ran to the kitchen, my socks sliding on the hardwood floors. I reached the stove, luckily nothing had burned. I finished mixing everything together and Declan has grabbed us plates since he was right next to the cabinet.

I dished him the food and he nodded gratefully. He took a seat on the right side of the table, I took my seat across from him. "This Alfredo is so good love!" He remarked, I thanked him and took a bite of my own. "Do think I could ever go to England with you?" I asked, just to start up a conversation. "I would love for you to come with me and meet my family. That is, if you're up for it," he spoke, his voice raised into a question at the end of the sentence. I nodded and answered, "I would really love to. I've always liked England."

"I know you have, you've told me many times. Most likely hinting for me to take you. Sneaky girl," "me? Sneaky? Never!" I giggled. He smirked, taking my hand in his from across the table. He traced circles around the back of my hand. I looked up at him and smiled. I took my hand away and continued to eat. I gazed up in his direction and he was pouting "sorry darling, food is more important right now," I laughed. "I hate you," he joked. "I love you too dear," I laughed and he glared at me playfully.

After a short while of silence I piped in by stating: "I really would like it if you would take me there..." I paused, my puppy dog eyes locked onto his soft and calm ones. "I would love to take you, if Jenna would let me. SunDay might want to come to, it might be a hassle but I'll try my best for you," he answered sweetly. "The UK is very nice, where specifically in England? I bet you want to see London don't you? All the tourists go there before anywhere else," he laughed. "Not necessarily, unless your family lives there, I want to go wherever your family is," I answered honestly. He nodded and replied, "they live in Liverpool." "Okay, then let's go there!" I decided.

He chuckled as we both headed over to the couch to watch a movie. I sat right next to him resting my head on his shoulder. He cupped my thigh and sighed. "What?" I wondered. "I could get used to this," he drew circles on my thigh as he looked over to me asking, "you do know that you're going to ask Jenna before we can plan anything correct?" "Well of course but I bet she'll say yes, she loves you!" I laughed. I looked up at him and touched his cheeks with my hand. His eyes gave me that puppy dog effect "stop giving me puppy dog eyes, what do you want now?" I laughed as I buried my face deeper into his shoulder placing my hand on top of his that was resting on my thigh. He took my chin and lifted my face making sure I could see him. He looked into my eyes and kissed me. Butterflies exploded in my stomach. No matter how many times we kiss it still takes my breath away every time. I could feel him smile against our locked lips. I laughed then pushed away and stated "pick a movie, enough of this." Again he pouted and gave me puppy dog eyes "stop," I laughed lightly slapping his arm. I nudged his shoulder with mine making him stand up. I showed him away to go find a movie. He picked Grease and popped it into the DVD player. He sat back down and wrapped his arm around me. I leaned into him so that he consumed me in his arms. He was warm and soft.
"How'd you know?"
"How's I know what?"
"That Grease is my favorite movie!"
"It's mine too. Plus you may have mentioned it one hundred times" he laughed rubbing my arm softly.

You better shape up, cause I need a man and my heart is set on you.

Declan and I both sang all the songs. He's such a goofball. He couldn't sing well at all but he didn't care. I love him so much, he's just so comfortable with me and I with him. "I love you goof," I spoke between fits of laughter. "Jealous of my amazing singing?" You wish Romeo. He kissed my temple and I smirked "and I love you too. Always." He locked his hand in mine as we continued to watch the movie. Now this is perfection.
