The Architect Ep. 16 The Architect part 2

"hey" Joe smiled warmly at Demi also exceedingly nervous

"What, what are you doing here?" She asked still in obvious shock.

"To get you back" he smiled in confidence then looking down to what was in his hands.

"What is that?" She asked confusingly

"This" he sat it down on the table before explained what is was.

"This is a scale model to all the places we've been together of all the areas that I fell in love with you" he replied with confidence.

Her eyes widened even more

"this is the building I work where I first met you and I knew at the time you were my client and engaged but I thought you were absolutely stunning" he smiled warmly and so did Demi before he continued. "This is the kitchen before I remodeled it and I was doubting myself and I, for the first time, saw the sweet part of you when you told me how surprised you were that you didn't kill me and how I should trust my capability and believe it or not since then I've never been more confident in my work because I felt if I could impress you I could impress anyone." With that Demi couldn't help but let a tear fall down her face, a happy tear. She was overwhelmed in the best way.

"This is that scale model I made that made you smile so big and it made me feel like the happiest man on earth" he chuckled and Demi giggled through her tears.

"I know this is all cheesy but I mean everything" he said in a serious tone.

"This is that restaurant we went to when you wear that red dress. You looked amazing and I saw inside your eyes for the first time. I honestly didn't wanna stop"

Demi bit her lip trying to hold back tears

"This is the living room where we watched titanic and I seen you cry for the first time and I never wanted to see it again. That night I realized I had feelings for you actually I been had them, I was just ignoring them because you were engaged and just my client. We talked for hours that night and I slowly was falling for you. This is the outside of your home where I met Blanda and it was shitty of me but I used her to try and get over you and it didn't work because you were and you are all I want. " he paused to met that sink in a bit "This is the bedroom where I found out Wilmer was cheating on. I was so pissed off. I didn't, I still don't understand why someone would cheat on someone they were damn lucky to have. People don't understand, maybe they don't realize how amazing you are but I do. After you were you mad at me because I didn't tell you but I didn't wanna see you hurt because I knew you loved him too and maybe you still do" he broke eye contact with her for a moment, "but I can wait on you. I promise you're worth it. This has nothing in it" he showed her the area that was empty "because it's how I felt when I pushed you away and didn't have you around anymore. I was empty and God, I missed you so much and it's one thing I regretted and still do. This is your office where I tried to get you. I told you I loved you and I'm not convinced you don't feel the same. I refuse to believe all those times, all those moments, you felt nothing but at that time you didn't want to admit it maybe and I deserved it. I deserved it so much and I still do but this right here, is the restaurant where I'm gonna try to get you back and there's still space because if I don't today or tonight than I will keep trying no matter what. I won't give up on you, I promise." He said in a tone where she knew he meant it. "I know people give up on you but I won't, I can't, and I don't want too"

By then tears were fallings down both, brown eyes of Demi's face, messing up her make up a little and the whole restaurant was starring, including Niall who was so confused.

"I love you Demi. I'm in love with you and I'm not gonna pretend I don't and wonder what If, for the rest of my life. I love your snark. I love how straight forward you are. I love your ambition and beautiful eye for architecture. I love your sweet side. I love your sarcasm. I love everything about you, the good, the bad, the everything.

"Joe, I" she interrupted him before taking a deep breath to prevent more tears.

He stopped talking quickly

She smiled warmly through her tears giving Joe a bit of reassuring.

"I, I love you too" she managed to say.

The whole restaurant cheered

Joe quickly gave Demi a warm hug before placing his lips onto hers. The moment everyone was waiting for more so for Joe and Demi, happened.

"I love you so much" she said happily in between the kiss. Joe smiled. "I love you too"

After the kiss Demi glanced at Niall was smiling

"I'm so sorry" Demi pleaded

Niall shuck his head "it's fine. Who am I to have a problem with love?" He looked at Joe's scale model "this is amazing" he smiled and Joe smiled back

"Thanks" Joe added
"It was a pleasure meeting you" he shuck Demi's hand before leaving.

Joe kissed Demi's cheek and she giggled.

"What do you wanna do?" He wrapped his arms around her waste giving her a sweet smile.

She thought for a moment "I think we should kiss" Joe chuckled before placing his lips on hers again.

"Eww dad" Daniella scrunched her face up at her dad

"Gross, kissing" Adam did the same

Joe chuckled "well you guys asked how me and your mom met"

"Not kissing." She made a disgusted face before giggling.

Joe chuckled before kissing his daughter's cheek

Demi walked in from the kitchen

"I made cookies" she smiled big. Joe got up and kissed her forehead "thanks hun" he grabbed a cookie.

"dad, let's play basketball" Adam suggested with excitement

Joe ate the last bite of his cookie "let's do it" he said with a stuffed mouth.

Adam grabbed the basketball and ran outside

"I wanna play too" Julia ran after before Joe followed

Demi smiled warmly at her interaction with her beautiful family.
