THE RHODES

"What do you mean you love me?" I smile when she asks that. When is she ever going to stop looking cute. My Abby is cute. Cute like a sprouting grape in a beautiful vineyard.

With a smile on my face I ask her back.
"What don't you understand in that. It's three simple words Mon amour. I love you. Je t'aime. Te Amo. It's as simple as just an expression I have for you. What is so hard to understand in that?"
I cup her cheek and raise her teared face to look at me.

She sniffles. She is blushing a beautiful pink like the one present in the dawn of the morning.

"I-I..." she stutters as she shakes her head. She makes tears fall more aggressively from her eyes.
"I...I have never given any reason for you to love me. Not once was I anything to you that should have been loved. So why, what do you mean? Please don't shatter me beyond than I am." I let out a chuckle.

When she hears of it, she meets my gaze.
Blurry ocean eyes are searching and I let them wonder. I let her take a freely stroll in our gaze.

I move my thumb and wipe the tears on her right cheek. "Love doesn't need a reason. Never had, never is, and never will. True love always comes freely." On the verge of my words, she tears up more.
