Does he dare say those three little words right now or does he wait to save them for another moment? Save them. She's come so far already. She lay enveloped in his arms all night long but at the break of dawn she felt the security of his presence absent from the bed that had released her of all her fears about what love was. He had shown her what it could be. She found him on the balcony thoughtfully gazing out to the ocean view. "Good morning,"she softly uttered into his ear. He turned with her presence."Good morning,"he greeted her with a soft kiss. "I could get used to this paradise." "Me or the islands?" "Both." "I love you." There. He said it and it was out there. "I love you," she returned and knew for the first time in her life she truly meant those three little words that had been so harmful to her in the past. She said it. The three little words he'd been dying to hear come out of those heart shaped lips since the day he first met her."So shall we order in or do you wanna see the island today?" "I think we should go where the day takes us." "And just where might that be?" She disengaged the rope of the hotel robe and slid her arms around his bareness. "I can see we have the same agenda. Order in." |
