Baby, You're A 10 (BBW/PlusSize)

38. Endings & Beginnings

'I can't see the end
끝이 보이지 않아

Is there an exit?
출구가 있긴 할까

I can't take my feet off, I don't oh
발이 떼지질 않아, 않아 오

I close my eyes for a moment
잠시 두 눈을 감아'

All that occupies Christian's mind these days are thoughts of what comes next.

'What does come next?', he thought while quietly sipping some water from a water bottle.

He was dressed smartly, his graduation gown and cap laid hazardously over the back of a chair. His hair styled to perfection as he sat in the stands of the stadium the ceremony would be held in another half hour or so. At least that had been what his watch had informed him when he last checked the time. Now, he was not so sure anymore.

His time in college had been a whirlwind. From the very first day he stepped foot on the university's soil up until this very day of his departure as a graduate he had learned and experienced a lot. He has a girlfriend. He was shot and nearly killed by an asshole cop that did not deserve to wear the uniform and badge he so proudly hid behind. He traveled the world with people he holds dear to his heart. He fell in love.

That had to be the biggest change for him, love. Secretly, Christian was a hopeless romantic. He dated a lot, but the relationships never lasted. There was always something missing with each one of the girls he dated. Foolishly enough, he had overlooked the beautiful gem that was right in front of him for years. Now that he had her, he knew what was missing with all of those girls.

'Hold my hand here
여기 내 손을 잡아

Let's run away to that future
저 미래로 달아나자'

Monica walked over to her boyfriend quietly taking a seat beside him. She knew that he was anxious. She knew that he often worried about the future, just as he was currently doing.

"It will be okay, you know? We got this. I have no intention of leaving your side. So don't worry so much, Is", Monica said after sitting in comfortable silence for a few minutes.

Christian smiled softly reaching for his suit-clad girlfriend. Her worlds of reassurance made him feel a lot better. He was still uncertain about what lay ahead, but he felt a lot better knowing that he would have Monica at his side. He was in love. He is in love with Monica Daniels, hopefully, Vitro someday.

Monica is nearly his complete opposite. She balanced him out. She was refreshing. He could talk with her about the same shit every day if he wanted to and it would never feel boring or repetitive because she always has something new to say. Her humor was quite dark, but she was also a goofball. She is smart and beautiful within and out.

Monica was everything he could ever ask for in a partner. It was honestly inevitable for him to fall so hard for this woman. Also, he absolutely loves when Monica takes control. At first, he had harvested feelings of feeling inadequate and like her bitch. With time that was quite quickly diminished. He along with Monica had informed him that he was dealing with a real woman that was a true alpha female.

"Thank you, Nica (Knee•ca)", he said taking her hand into his intertwining their fingers.

"You're welcome, honey. Now let's go. I almost punched that demon in the face. Talkin' about my baby like that. Who does he think he is? I'm the demon slayer ordained by Christ. I will touch him with these anointed hands", Monica ranted as the couple rose to their feet while wagging her finger and snapping her fingers as she rolled her neck.
