Girl In The City

15.| Would you?

"Pretty lady." He smiled and walked towards me to kiss a slow, soft kiss.

"This is exactly what we need right now." I said huskily still on my tip toes, beaming.

"Tell me about it." He said pulling me closer to him, closing whatever space that was left between us.

"Well, at some point we're going to have to get back to our lives in New York." I sigh exasperatedly as I faced down at our feet buried in the soft sand.

"But we don't need to think about that now. Let's enjoy our time here in the Bahamas while we still can." He lifted my chin up to face and gave me a soft passionate kiss.

He pulled from the kiss and picked me up throwing me over his shoulder.
I shrieked at the sudden movement and screamed while laughing when he charged to the water.
He threw right in the warmed but slightly cold water.

I screamed as I fell into the clear water and quickly resurfaced to pulled Keegan down with me.

We spend the whole afternoon swimming in the ocean while occasionally having water fights like we're kids and making out.

As we walk up to the beach, I squeeze the sea water out of my heavy, thick hair.

"You're lucky I love you that's..." I cut myself off when the words slipped from my mouth.

Crap!
I said I loved him! Which I did!

Keegan and I had only been dating for about six months or so and I already said the "L" word.
Am I weird? I probably am weird.
We shouldn't be using such intense words at this stage of the relationship.
Yes I love him but I should've probably waited a moment to tell rather than blabbing in out like that.

As I froze, shocked from my words he stood up and closed the space between us, towering over me as he looked down at my short figure.

"I shouldn't have said that." I whispered under my breath with closed eyes.

I feel his wet warm hands come around either side of my face, gently facing me up to look at him.

"No you shouldn't have." He says and I suck in a deep breath as I prepare for the disappointment coming.

"Because I love you more. And I've loved you since the day I saw you in the elevator that night." He kissed my lips tenderly.

I sigh in relief and smile at his words.

Next thing he hoists me off my feet, picking me up bridal style, making me giggle uncontrollably.

"I think we should celebrate this cute moment with our first time." He says seductively in my ear as I giggle like a six year old.

"You know what?" I grab his face, making him face me. "Why not?" I kiss him passionately as he walks is out of the ocean to the villa.

■■■■■■■■

As we lay in bed, I stare at Keegan's sleeping figure.
He looks so peaceful and cute.

His chest plays as a very comfortable pillow although it's hard.
His chests rises and falls as he breathes in and out.
His heart beat synchronizing with mine in weird way.
And I find myself smiling, wondering how I ended up here.

I know that there's a lot of dangerous things around us, trying to threaten our relationship but I still feel lucky to be here in bed with this angelic man.

I begin to stare at his face, examining all his perfect features.

"Why are you starring at me?" His voice deep and groggy.

I quickly face away, smiling like a maniac.
"I wasn't."

"What? Am I too pretty for you to resist?" He jokes and I look up at his brown-yellow eyes.

"You know for a fact that it's the other way around." I start drawing small circles on his bare chest as he chuckles.

I sigh in thought of everything running through my mind.
"What will happen when we get back Keegan?" I draw my eyes away from his gaze.

He sighs. "I don't know...all I know is that it won't be pretty." He says and my fears slowly begin to come true.

Silence begins to fill the room as a billion thoughts run through our minds.

"Would you marry me?" He breaks the silence and I whip my head up to look at him.

"What?" I say a little dumbfounded.

"Would you marry me?" He repeats seemingly serious.

I snort. "I'm sorry, I thought you just some how proposed." I looked up and found his facial expression serious.
"Oh you're serious?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"Would you though?"

"Well, if I think about it...yeah." He begins to smile before he kisses my forehead.

"That's all I need to know." He hugged me tighter.

"Why's that?"

"Because I want to marry you." I look at him like he grew an extra head. "Right here in the Bahamas while everything is still calm."

I opened my mouth to say something but I closed it as no words came out.

"I really do love you Letta." He strokes my back with his finger.

"I really do want to marry you."
