Real Love- A Kenny and Dolly Story

Chapter 4: Islands In The Stream

Dolly's POV:

"What was I thinking?" I thought as I kept driving and thinking about him.

"Do we have a chance at making it as a couple?"

All these thoughts kept going through my head as I stopped at a red light, seeing the light sprinkle of rain on my windshield, I glanced out to the couple on the sidewalk right in front of me, carrying a little one in their arms.

"Maybe I should go back and apologize. Was it too soon? Too soon to move in with him."

The more I thought about him, the more vulnerable I got as tears sprung in my eyes as I watched the happy couple playing with their child.

I decided to let my gut tell me what to do and I prayed to God for an answer as I felt my heartache for the only man I have ever fell in love with.

I drove on through the green light to go look for a place to turn around and head back home to him.

...

Kenny's POV:

"You really messed up this time!" I said to myself as I decided to call it an evening.

As soon as I went to go upstairs, I heard a knock on my door and wondered who could be out there in a rain shower.

I open it up to see the sweetest sight as Dolly stood there, half drenched as I held my arms out for her to hug me.

"I'm sorry." She said as her voice filled with sadness.

"Don't worry about it sweetheart."

"I want to move in with you, plus I have something for you." Dolly said as she handed me a box.

I opened it to see a key and a heart-shaped key chain

"A key?"

"There's two reasons why I gave you this gift."

"Okay."

"One, because no matter where I am, you'll always be the key to my heart."

"Aww baby, you'll always be mine too." I said as we kissed.

"And I want you to move in with me too."

"I was thinking of actually selling this house."

"And movin' in with me, I hope?"

"Of course! I don't want to spend the rest of my life knowing that I had this chance of being happy and blowing it. I want to hold you in my arms everyday and kiss you whenever I want to."

"I want to be with you too."

"Now, here comes my final question. I was going to do this earlier, but chances are, you never know what will happen in a moment or in an instant, so here it goes." Kenny said, pulling out a blue velvet ring box.

"What is this?" Dolly asking as she blushed.

"We've known each other for along time Dolly and I can't bear this life without you. You're the love of my life and I want you to sail away with me to another world as I promise to love you and protect you, so Dolly Rebecca Parton, will you marry me?" I asked as I got down on one knee as Dolly smiled that smile she always done when she's happy.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll marry you!" Dolly said as I slid the ring on her finger as I stood up and picked her up, spinning around with her in my arms.

"And the answer to your question earlier about us having kids, I want to have babies with you."

"You really changed in a short period of time."
