I look out the window behind him and take both of his hands in mine. Should I tell him? Would I open up old wounds that I've tried so hard to heal, for him? I look into his captivating brown eyes. He helped me through that panic attack and he alread...
I look at myself one last time in the mirror of Jack and I's ensuite and I still question how I look around him after 8 years being with him. I sigh, why am I overthinking this?
I'm wearing a black and white striped, off the shoulder, fitting, quarter sleeved shirt tucked in to a maroon skirt paired with some black knee-high heels. I move my soft curled hair a bit in front of me before heading out the door to our master bedroom.
After finishing our studies in LA, we've decided to live here for a bit as it's a great location. We've bought a house together two years ago after moving out of an apartment we've been living at whilst going to university.
I'm greeted by our huge king size bed with modern looking nights stands with a lamp on both of them. The electric fireplace is on on the other side and I see a glimpse of Jack sitting on the other side on one of the grey chairs. My eyes move to the giant windows and see the sky is setting.

I walk over to the nightstand and unplug my phone from the charger before walking over to Jack.
"Yeah,.. I hope so...." He said as I see him. He has a phone in his hand and gets up when he spots me. I turn around and quickly grab a small purse to put my phone in before turning back to face him.
"Yeah... Gotta go..... yeah... I'll talk to you soon" He said before hanging up and tucking his phone in his jean pocket.
"Who was that?" I asked, putting my phone in my purse.
"Mathew and Bella... just checking in as usual" He said, wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me close to him.
"They still doing okay?" I asked, knowing how he still misses them and hates being this far from them.
"Yeah,... they are excited to come here though for Christmas break" He said as I wrap my arms around his neck and hooking my index fingers together.
"That's good" I said, smiling and he nods.
"So.. are we ready for tonight?.. My beautiful girlfriend" He asked and I blush. Even after being with him for so long, he still makes me blush.
"Mhmm... and you my cute boyfriend?" I ask and he raises an eyebrow.
"I am not cute" He said and I giggle.
"You are" I said, lightly tapping the tip of his nose with my finger.
"That hurts the ego, you know. You could use, hot, sexy, muscular, but no you use cute" He said, emphasizing the potential words.
"But it's true, you are" I said, shrugging and he groans.
"Fine," I said, rolling my eyes. "Are you ready my hotter than sexy boyfriend?" I said and he smirks.
"Better... and yes" He said, leaning in for a kiss. As our lips connect, the electricity sparks and butterflies erupt within me. And I still don't get how after all these years, it feels like the first time all over again.
