Can We Find A New Beginning?

Chapter 3

"Bye Cass, bye Rian." Skylar hugged both of them before they got into their car and drove off.

"So, now what?" I asked as I snaked my arms around her waist.

"Hm... I don't know. Lets watch a movie?" she suggested, walking into the house.

"Okay, what movie?

"Lets watch Insidious!"

"Are you serious? Just yesterday you got mad at me for wanting to watch Silent Hill. You said it was 'too scary for the baby.' Insidious is even worse!"

She giggled and sat on the couch. "Please? If I get too scared we'll watch The Little Mermaid instead."

"Damn it, Sky, you know I can't say no to you but I really don't think that's a good idea."

"I promise I'll let you know when I can't bare it."

"Fine." I grunted, and took a seat next to her.

"Yay! I'll go make popcorn."

She skipped into the kitchen as I kept my place on the couch. I quickly took out my phone and tweeted:

AlexAllTimeLow: Being lazy today! Spending the rest of the day watching movies with my lady ;)

Soon enough, I started getting tweets. Most of them asking why I have never uploaded a picture of Skylar when everyone knew we were engaged.

Well, to be honest, I didn't know. Sky never allowed me to do so. She never really gave me an explanation, she just said she didn't want pictures of her on the Internet. I found it strange because she didn't have a Twitter, Instagram, not even a Facebook. She just wasn't into that.

"So, did you get the laptop?" she asked, retaking her seat next to me and placing the popcorn on the coffee table.

"Yeah, it's right here. I just- Sky, can I ask you something?" I said.

"Of course. What's wrong?"

"So, I have a million pictures of us, of you, but you never allowed me to post any of them, why?"

She smiled sympathetically. "I don't know. I guess I'm scared your fans won't think I'm good enough for you. I've been judged enough my whole life, I don't need more people reminding me of my imperfections. And I know there's always those nice, sweet fans who will try to convince everyone else that I am pretty and what not, but I don't need their miserable sympathy. I don't care what your fans say because, if you're with me, then I have to be doing something right.

So, I don't need anyone else telling me what they think of me, as long as you love me. I guess I didn't think a picture was necessary."

I was grinning like a fool by the end.

"Well, that was a beautiful speech." I joked, wiping away a fake tear.

She laughed and playfully punched my shoulder.

"But you're right. You are perfect to me and that should be enough. I just found it weird how you're a photographer and don't like people taking pictures of you. And also how you don't have any social media accounts."

"That's not true, I love having my picture taken. And maybe someday I'll let you upload one. As for the accounts, I have a Google account." she smirked.

"Hmmm... alright, Miss Google, when will you allow me to upload a picture of you?"

"Well, if you play the movie, you can put one up as soon as I give birth. Then we can take a family picture!" she squealed.
