He was the perfect man.
He played with her hair when she lay on his chest. He didn't mind holding her cold hands. He went on long walks with her. He kissed her goodnight on the forehead.
He was serious when need be, but knew how to have fun. He makes her laugh until her stomach aches. And always joins in on her random bursts of songs. He always watched chickflicks, just to spend time with her.
He was never afraid to be himself. Always apologised for his mistakes. And always stood up for what he believed in. Always stood up for her and protected her. He always made her feel like a princess, and allowed her to be herself in front of him. She could talk to him about anything.
But most of all, he was a best friend to her.
He was the perfect man, and she found him.
The only problem was;
She was married to someone else.

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete
