Better With You

IV

RYDER'S POV

I really am in the Dominican Republic.

Yesterday wasn't a dream.

Why am I still not over this?

I can feel the warm sun shining on my face as it comes through the window.

Luke groans and pulls the blankets over his head.

"It's like six in the morning!" He complained.

I laughed and grabbed my phone off the nightstand.

"It's actually nine in the morning, Mr. Jetlag." I said.

"Yeah I get jetlag. So what?" He asked bitterly.

"Ow you're grumpy when you get up early." I giggled.

I let him sleep some more.

I went over to my suitcase to see what clothes he had packed me.

I put on a white Friends crop top and denim shorts.

I slipped on my Converse and left a note for him on the table.

You're quite grumpy when you're jetlagged. I'm going for a walk, be back soon. I love you

I opened the door and immediately stepped in sand.

I walked a little further until I realized the AirBnb was on the beach.

I took off my socks and shoes and walked along the water.

I gazed out and just thought for a few minutes.

This is my life.

I have the most caring boyfriend in the world. 

I live with him in West Hollywood.

I survived my first plane fight.

I'm in a place where I've only viewed it through a screen.

All because of him.

I couldn't do any of this without him.

I don't even know who I am without him.
