Take Her Down (BTS FF)

♡♡

"Wow! I can't believe how everything is turning out D!" Steph squealed as we did a walkthrough in the hotel. 

It's been seven months total so far.

My hotel will be opening in a month. 

That also means Tae and I have been together for six months. 

He still thinks I have no idea what he's up to. It's gotten harder and harder to hide it from him. 

The night he opened up to me about his mother's death was the same night I was contemplating on telling him the truth about everything..but then...I couldn't kick him while he was down. I love him too much. 
So instead I held him close and let him cry it out, the next day we went out and bought her a bouquet of flowers, we placed them on the water of the ocean and he told me stories about her while we sat in the sand until the sun started to set and the bouquet was nowhere in sight. 

She would have been fifty. 

But a random act of violence took her away from him, she was shot on accident, wrong place wrong time type of thing. 

But the way he spoke..
He was holding back. 

I'm not sure why, or what..but the whole thing just seemed a little off. I chalked it up to grief. 

I really truly love this man, I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I have no idea why I haven't called it off already to spare our feelings in the long run..but I guess I keep looking at it as I'd rather enjoy him while I can, than not have him at all. 

I cry myself to sleep when he isn't there because I know the day is coming where we will sever our ties. 
I made a plan to make it slightly easier on myself. And I must say, it's more heartbreaking than just losing Tae. I'm not ready to face either of these things head on, but deep down, I know I'm making the right choice. 

"I know" I smiled sadly 
"Cheer up okay? You're doing the right thing" 
"I know" I nodded as I opened one of the balcony doors in one of the rooms and stared out at the view. 
The water,
The sand,
The people,
The air. 
Everything about it was beautiful. 
Months of planning and construction and my baby is finally almost ready to be opened up to the public. All of the locals have been going crazy over it, trying to call and make reservations for as soon as possible, thanking me, telling me their stories. 
This place already feels like home. 

My favorite part? 
It's probably the black and white blown up portrait that's mounted on the wall of the lobby of Mr and Mrs Minatuchi, taken when they were younger and barely had a clue about anything except for the fact that they were in love. 
I find myself staring at it constantly. 

"Daisy?"
"Hmm?" I turned away from the view of the ocean and looked over at Steph 
"Let's go Ms Denton, it's time for dinner with your boyfriend" she offered me her hand, I took it and intertwined our fingers as we walked away
"Sure thing Ms Jensen" 

"You know..you can start calling me Ms Ricci, I already legally changed it back" 
"I know" I smiled
