Guarded Heart (The GH Series)

What's going on in that beautiful mind of yours?

Complete

It has been six weeks, and everything is going smoothly, so smooth it still feels unreal. You may need to actually pinch me. Here I am, laying next to the woman who is my absolute everything.

We went through some tough times to get to this point, but I am happy. We are happy and it's like we are meant to be. Of course, you already know that after following us on our last journey.

Now, living in Glasgow again, with the woman who completely broke down my guarded heart, who has my heart and soul, still feels surreal to me.

"Babe, will you hurry up!!"

I love Ashley, I really do. But honestly, she spends more time getting ready than anything else these days. Or maybe it's because I'm impatient, who knows. "But we are going out clubbing and I want to look good!!"

"Honestly..." I muttered to myself.

"I heard that!!" I swear that she has super hearing powers or something. When Ashley made her way downstairs and into my eyesight, I swear she takes my breath away, every single day.

Her outfit was on point and I could feel my love and burning desire for her racing to the surface. A short black lacey dress with some pink roses on the front, her legs are long, her shoes are black, and my mind is being consumed with everything that is my woman, Ashley. "Is this okay?"

"Mhmmm...I'm so fucking you later."

"Shush you. You look amazing." I don't feel amazing, not next to her, but my god, my woman is banging hot.

"This old thing? Thanks."

"Babe, you would look hot in absolutely anything..." I pulled her closed and kissed her deeply. "Now move, or we won't end up going out."

"Is that such a bad thing?"

"Well, yes and no."

We quickly left before we changed our minds about going out. After all, we were meeting our good friends Sarah and Fiona at the club. As usual, thanks to my darling girlfriend, we are running late. "Are you okay babe?"

"Mhmmm?"

"Spill it." I'm about to get the third degree from Ashley, I can feel it in my water.

"Spill what?"

"What is going on in that beautiful mind of yours."

I looked at Ashley. I know I can't keep anything from her. "Who said anything is going on in my mind?"

"Are you forgetting who you are talking to?"

"Of course not. But it's nothing babe, just counting my blessings is all. So, I am more than okay, believe me."

The taxi made a few more turns and then we were outside the club. I stood outside and looked up at the sign. It didn't seem right. This place used to be called Darcey's but Darcey sold it and now it was simply called 'The Club.' "What are you waiting on?"

"Eh? Nothing. Come on, we are already late."

"Aye okay. Okay, let's go."

A few hours later

The drinks are flowing, we are having fun, but I can't help wondering why Ashley thinks somethings going on in my head.

Truthfully, I take a moment out each day and think of how I am thankful for several things in my life. I have an amazing girlfriend, my jobs going great, my friends are awesome and well, what more could I ask for really?
