Alex's P.O.V

love
(/ləv/)

noun

1.an intense feeling of deep affection.

Those words weren't even the beginning to describe what I felt. Everyone sees me as a loud mouth orphan. Someone who can't shut up. I dont disagree with them, but I have feelings, too. Graduating from college was the best feeling in my life. I could actually get away from all of the people who hated me or called me these names.

I could live my life.

Of course, I made some friends along the way.

Their names were Lafayette, (We call him Laff) Hurcules Mulligan, (We call him Hurc) Angelica Schuyler-Church, Elizabeth Schuyler, (Eliza) Peggy Schuyler, and Aaron Burr. They stuck by me throughout all of college. I never thought I would survive without them.

But then, I met John Laurens. The first day I met him, he gave me a smile that I would die to see again. It made me smile controlably every time I saw it. I loved him like there was nothing else to love, and quite frankly, there wasn't.

We fell in love.

After graduation, he took the mic just to confess his love for me. It made both of us tear up. It was amazing. After his long heartfelt speech, he came to me below the stage. He took both of my hands in his, intertwining our fingers. He told me a bunch of things that made me feel good. He said things that made my heart melt. I felt like I could fly away.

Then, he got down on one knee. I jumped back at what I was seeing. He pulled out a box with a gold enchanted ring. It was a round solid gold ring with little sparkles scattered around it. His eyes reflected off the gold and made them light up. I started to tear up, but not before I said it.

"yes john... I'll marry you."

I couldn't stop crying or smiling. I could never express what I was feeling in that moment. He stood up and put the gold on my ring finger. He looked straight into my eyes and said,

"I love you."

We shared a kiss that was so soft and gentle it made me quiver. People said that this kiss lasted for a few minutes, but it only seemed like seconds to me.

For the rest of the ceremony , we held hands and looked up at the beautiful sky filled with endless clouds.

After graduating, we bought an apartment in New York City. This apartment had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. We wouldn't need the second bedroom, but just in case we have guest. As you walk in the apartment your greeted with a small, but beautiful blue tiled kitchen to your left. There was a small island in the middle of it with two chairs behind it. If you looked forward you could see a tiny dinner table with 4 chairs. If you look past the table, you would see a small living room with two light blue couches. We went for blue on the apartment because that was Johns favorite color. It was also my second favrotie color (besides green of course) We always snuggled on the larger one right in front of the t.v. His body was always so warm, yet so spine shivering at the same thing. (in a good way)

I just got home from the store with some food to put in our empty cabinets and fridge. I also bought some silverware, plates, cups, and bowls. I start to put everything away, remembering which thing was in which cabinet.

Before long I hear tiny footsteps come up behind me. Two arms wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to a man who was barely taller then me. I knew I was small, but I liked this man for being the closest in height to me.

"Hey sugar bear~"
Just the sound of "sugar" rolling of his tounge made me blush. I chuckle quietly as I turn around to face him. I wrap my arms around his neck and whisper in his ear.

"Hey cupcake~"

This makes him blush, too. Soon were both laughing at each other blushing. Before I can turn around again. John cups my face with a tiny smile on him. He examine my face like it's a painting.

"What's wrong?" I ask. I moved a strand of hair out of his face.

"I don't know... I'm just happy"
I smile back at him as I pull his lips to mine. Once they connect it felt like fireworks going off.
I pull my lips off of him slightly,

"To hell with the dishes."

And I bring my lips to his again. I feel his warm smile against our kiss, which makes me smile. After the kiss starts to get really passionet, he pickes me up and carries me to our room . You can imagine what happens next.

Our wedding would take place months later. It would be filled with colors of green and red. My favorite color was green. Johns was red. When getting married, you always out a ring on your married ones finger. Then you put a ring on your own. When you out the brings together, they should create an aoura of gold and silver sparks, but, if they break off, then you two aren't soulmates.

That never happens though. Me and John are Soulmates.

Woah. That was cool. I finally finished the first chapter. Did you like it?(did you notice the Once Upon a Time reference in there? No? Okay.:( ) I may be a little boring, but it gets better. Please comment any suggestions you have and I may add them in this book. Ily thanks for reading!
