Last Night:An EarnPete Fanfic

45. The Nights

Earn

It had been two years since Pete and I got married after being together for a year. So far, the most obvious bumped we had was only that of Jek---who was not heard of since the incident  with Pete at the parking.

My dad and I were very adamant to sue him but Pete asked us to let him be and forgive him.  We agreed, but only after I asked my dad to liquidate his family's assets. A painful reminder for him not to cross with the people I love. Pete didn't like the idea  but there was nothing he can do. He wasn't able to graduate because of what he did and the last news we had from him was from last year where someone saw him working as a restaurant staff in Japan.

I just hope he did learn his lesson.

All in all, life with Pete had been nothing but blissfull. We had both our families love and full support. Pete formally introduced me to his parents a week after my graduation  right before we flew to the U.S. for Phun and Noh's wedding. The same time I formally asked Pete to live with me which thank heavens he  agreed with.

Pete was still at the university, teaching and was the chairman of their department after he finished his Doctorate in Literature. Pau was still so loud and still with him at the university and already had two sets of girl twins to help her annoy her husband even more.

I on the other hand, just celebrated the first year anniversary of my film studio I called 'Night Light' . The first music video I directed won video of the year and I got the neophyte director award as well.

Life was nothing but good and I had Pete to thank for that. He kept on telling me how lucky he was to have me when in truth, it was me who got the jackpot.

It's cringe worthy,  but before Pete, I never knew what I wanted,  I seemed to be existing in a world so dark I found solace in things I thought I needed when I fact I didn't.

With Pete, I learned to value things and fight for what I wanted.  I learned to love myself more and the people around me. I learned to appreciate the little things in life and to never take important things and people for granted.

Pete taught me love, patience and perseverance. It may sound cheesy but everything I was, was because of him.

He became my night mode. He enabled me to see things clearly in the darkest of my nights.

"You're smiling like an idiot, do you know that?"

I saw my husband hovering over me with a bag of chips in hand. We were at our rooftop, stargazing as what we always do every chance we got. The sky seemed to look more beautiful with him around.

"You know what they say, when one is sane while in love, they're never in love enough."

He snickered at me. I took him by the hand and positioned him in between my legs on the lounge chair.

"You're getting more gooey as years go by."

He said as he rested his head over my chest. Both our hands entertwined.

"Funny how it's been years but everytime I hold you like this, it seemed that everything just happened yesterday."

I felt him smiled.

"I felt the same. Nights like this make me emotional. It always reminds me how we met."

I chuckled.

"That and tequila. Without it, I wouldn't ever have the chance to call you husband."

He groaned.

"You make it sound as if I'm a drunkard."

I chuckled.

"That night, you were!"

"Hey!"

He playfully smacked me in the arm. I chuckled. He let go of my hand and broke off my embrace and faced me.

"Thank you."

He looked at me and smiled. I furrowed at him.

"For what?"

"For everything. I never knew what I needed until you came along."

My heart swelled. It's only Pete who can tug at my heart this way. I never thought it's possible for me to love him more that I already do.

"Are we playing 'who's chessier than who?' game tonight?"

I joked. But in truth, I was almost sobbing inside.

"You know I'll lose, you're born to be gooey you know!"

We both laughed and stilled as we said in unison.

"I love you!"

We smiled and held each other's gaze. That night, under the same sky, for the thousandth time, we shared a kiss. The sweetest and most passionate as it was with my husband.

The night was dark and the sky was beaming with stars. The moon was nowhere to be found but mine was in my arms.

Pete was mine and I was his.

We'll always be each other's.

Since the day I realized I loved him up until the last nights we may have, I'll aways have my heart only for him.

That night.

Tonight.

And for the rest of the nights that there were.

And it's a wrap!

Thank you for getting this far with me my darlings!

To be honest, I came to a point where I can't conjure even a word for this story thus making me thought of dropping it, but I can't seem to do so in the end.

I wanted a different ending possibly longer and more dramatic than this one but as I went over it, I realized, I couldn't  have ended it any other way.

And yet again, Earn had the last  say, because yes! He loves Pete that much! 😅😍

Again, thanks for all your love towards this fic. Till then!

Happy Holidays!

Peace out!
