Hearts Of Glass💔🥀 [completed]

55: The End

Christina Perri- A Thousand Years

"The day we met,
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart
Beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I

have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this"

Maia

Weeks Later...

I stood there with a tall glass of red wine in my hand.

My eyes drifted to the horizon, the sky was pink and the sharp prongs of bare trees had ripped a hole in the clouds. Through the wound the colours of the coming winter bled and burnt my eyes.

Cade's arms which rested around my breasts provided a more comforting atmosphere. I moved closer to the walls of his balcony. And he did too.

The sunset is merely a prelude to the dawn, yet its majesty fills my mind with the most beautiful of dreams. As my eyes drift to rest I am one with the stars, my skin cooled by the breeze, and when I awake the sky will be radiant with the first kiss of the new day.

The only thought that prevailed from my mind was the idea of moving on in life. The idea of being with Cade for the rest of my life. But life is never a smooth sail and it still feels like there's so many skeletons that are still hidden somewhere in between the lines.

This is not what I'd thought would happen when he asked 'for a word' but I'm certainly not going to object. His kiss is one of the most sensual happenings, aside from sex and, of course, I loved it. His lips were warm and tasted of vodkahoney; he had obviously been drinking wine earlier. His hands were wrapped around my waist and mine locked around his neck pulling him down slightly. When we broke apart for air, I rested my forehead against his and gathered some much needed oxygen. His smirk told me everything and I smiled back, sinking into his hold.

He kissed me again and the world fell away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below my waist, his thumb caressing my cheek as our breaths mingled. I ran my fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us and I could feel the beating of his heart against my chest.

Oh Cade...

A tear rolled down my cheek as he knelt down on one leg and took out a small box. Like in those romantic movies, he seemed to have picked the best moment with a really earthly and breath taking scenery.

"Cade..."

"You don't have to say anything, I've loved you my whole life and I'm not scared to love you for all of it. For all that's gonna come our way. I'll never loosen my grip on you."

"What about college? What about getting jobs and working?" I asked.

"We don't need all that. You and I will be the best Blue. Think about it, if we go away for all that, we'll be wasting our time. Time for us to be alive. Not to just live, to live doesn't mean you're alive. We have the world out here for us... You said it's time to explore the world and how do we do that, we do it our own way Maia." He said.

He opened the small box. A ring that had the vivid colours of the sunset bouncing off from it and the rays meeting my eyes, giving me the best sight. It shone and almost made me blossom inside. A diamond of prestige. Not just for my sake but for his too. Did he really want this? Was he serious about this? Was he really ready for this kind of commitment?

"When I first met you Cade, all my fears vanished. I fell in love. And when you touched me, it spread from my skin to the little nerves deeper inside there." I said touching my heart.
"And you didn't have to go all the way to fly me away. You don't need to buy a diamond ring to unlock my heart. You shelter my soul, you're my fire when I'm cold, you're my backbone. And to say I want to spend forever with you, I'm not sure if forever is long enough." I said again.

"And I certainly wouldn't mind being the only source of manhood in your entire life, it's a treasure to me."

I rolled my eyes.

"You're such a show off." I joked.

I almost forgot that he was still kneeling down.

"Will you marry me Maia?"

My heart thudded. My mind was taken back to every single moment I've shared with Cade. The first encounters. The problems, trust issues and other people causing problems in general. Almost thinking that Cade and I would've never happened made me feel dark and cold. All the kisses that would knock the earth off it's axis, the soothing touches, which were aggressive at times, the love, the love that we spread from within to the ones we love, our parents, our best friends... The countless nights that left me spineless. All the times we messed around in bed. Making love like two reckless teenagers with no mindset for the future. Sexing like there's no tomorrow. The licking, the sucking and the loving... The shoving in and out. The sexual climaxes. And all those breathless moments that only require a kiss to seal the occasion. There's no part of my body that he's not familiar with. It made me a little wet, just thoughts about it. My whole body couldn't be able to survive without his touch. My heart hasn't gotten enough of Cade. I looked into his blue eyes and I saw me. I saw us. I saw us living lives of our own. In our own story, creating it and living it.

And because of Cade now I understand that a life with love is a life that's been lived.

"Yes is just a word, I wanna love you until the sun stops rising." I said barely being able to control the happy tears.

Him putting the ring on my finger, lifting me and kissing me, that was just the most important feeling ever.

We deserved this, only I knew the man Cade was behind the surface.

And only Cade and I know that there is more behind our words to each other than they have spoken.

We walked into the room, hand in hand, ready to rip each other's clothes off and enjoy each other's naked bodies for yet another wild adventure of intense bed pleasure...

The End...
