Brenda "Love is worth the wait!" I was happy this whole drama mess was over. That it all worked out with Aaron. Now we would get to focus on one another. That was the best part. The next night we were going on a date out on the town. I was going to let my boss know that I planned on moving out here with Aaron. I was not sure what I wanted to do for work though Aaron told me that I did not have to work unless I wanted to. He also told me if I planned on making a business for myself that he would support me one hundred percent! I had so many options to think about that one. I would take my time on it. Knowing I had Aaron in my corner to support whatever dream I decided to chase after was so exciting. I had gotten out of the shower. Fixed my hair up for Aaron. I had bought a new dress before flying out here. Because I wanted to look nice for Aaron while we started to venture out with dating each other. Now he was finally going to get to see my new dress. It was a dark blue dress. It had a little bit an angel where the cleavage would show off my breasts a little. I never really wore sexy dressed like this. But for Aaron I wanted to. I had matching heels that my mother lent to me. I needed to go shopping for some more sexy dressed when I had the time. Being with Aaron well, I wanted to reflect off him. I wanted to look nice for him. I smile as I place earrings in my earlobes. They were my mother's pearls. She leant them to me. I was so happy these days. I could not stop smiling. My heart soared with joy inside. I look at myself as I touch up my make- up. I normally didn't wear a ton of make-up. But I wanted to wear a little for him. I splashed on a spritz of perfume on me. Then on my wrists. ♥☆♥☆♥ "Look at you! You look beyond amazing" Aaron speaks up from behind me. His arms steal around my middle as he holds me close. I giggle as he kisses my neck. "Mmmm you smell wonderful to" "Thank you" I reply back shyly. "I have something to give you before we head out on our date" he tells me. He sits me down on the bed. He sits down beside me. He hands me a box. A rectangular box. "What is this? You did not have to get me a thing" I tell him. "We have nearly been seeing each other our first week now" he says with a grin. "Our first week as a couple" "Wow already? Well true we began dating last week didn't we?" I giggle as I smile. "Happy one-week anniversary" he announces to me as he waits for me to open his gift. "Go on. Open it" he demands to me. I smile. I open the box. Inside was a breath-taking necklace. Delicate gold one. It had a heart shaped locket. "Aaron, I love this" I say. It reminded me of an old school necklace guys would give their girls in high school. I always wished back then I would get one. "Open the locket. I bought this back during our last year in high school. I never had the courage to gift this to you" he explains with a smile. I feel happy tears come to me. I carefully open the gold heart locket up. There was a photo of us on Halloween. Aaron dressed as the Phantom. I was dressed as Malibu Barbie. That night my loser boyfriend Miles was trying to date rape me. Forcing himself on me. Aaron swooped in and punched him one. But he was dressed as the Phantom. I found out later when I saw his costume in the closet. I knew this whole time it was him. But never said a word. ♥☆♥☆♥ "I knew that was you" I gush. I laugh. Tears come to me. Tears of joy. "You did not know that was me that night" he scoffs. "I did to. One day I came to bring you your homework when you were sick. You were in the bathroom. I spotted that costume in the closet" I giggle. "Why did you not tell me you knew?" he wonders. "I was waiting for you to tell me that" I say with a grin. "Remember that night? I came back to your place to see if you were okay? Only I was dressed as the Phantom? Your favorite character" he asks me. I nod. "I thought that was so romantic. I could not figure out for weeks who it was. I was touched when I found that was you" I giggle. He kisses my cheek as he places the necklace on my neck for me. "I love you so much" I gush. He holds me close. I kiss him. I touch his cheek with my hand after the kiss. He smiles at me. "That was why I named my company the Phantom software" he explains. "You inspired the idea in me" "I don't know what to say" I say softly. I felt so touched. "Come on. No more being sad over time lost. We have so much time now to celebrate" he reminds me. I nod. I kiss him. "Yes, we do" I agree. "Ready to go?" he asks me as he stands up. I slip on my high heels. Then he helps me up off the bed. He takes me by the hand. He hands me my purse. ♥☆♥☆♥ He had a sleek sports car out front of his place. He opens the door for me to get into his little red and black car. Then he shuts the door. He gets in. The music blared loudly then he turns it down. "Sorry about that" he says with a smile. I notice a photo hanging off his mirror there in the car where I was seated. It was an old kodak photo. One of me and him with my little sister at the beach. "I remember that day. That was the day before you left for college" I say softly as I take the photo down to look at it. "We had so much fun. You got sunburned then we went home. I had to help you put on aloe lotion on your back because you did not want your mom to know you let yourself get burned" I giggle. He laughs. "I was always forgetting. I always burned so easily. We played frisbee all day that day. It was fun. I nearly did not want to go off to college" he tells me with a grin. "Same. I was really home sick my first week of college" I tell him. "Me to" he agrees. He places a hand on my knee as he drives. I place a hand on top of his. Our fingers lace together. We have a nice dinner there in a fancy restaurant. One I could never afford to go on. Then Aaron asked what else I wanted to do. So, we went sight-seeing there in Washington. Walking around. Seeing the White House. We did not get a tour. Just saw the outside of it. It was amazing. I could see why Aaron liked being out here in Washington. There was so much to see and do here. Making my home town seem so small. "I figure one day I will buy a little cottage home back home. So that way we have a place to visit during the holidays when we go back to visit our parents. I have a question" he asks me. "Oh what is that?" I ask as we walk along holding hands. "Your sister invited me to her wedding. Want to be my plus one at the wedding?" he asks me. "I would love to" I agree. He grins. "She will be thrilled to know we got together. She loves you like a brother" "She is a great little sister I never had. I can't believe how grown up she is now. And she is getting married" he mentions thoughtfully. "I know, me either. I am happy for her. I was jealous before that she was getting married. But now I am not" I admit. He pulls my hand up to kiss the top of my hand. "Maybe you will be next to be married" he teases me with a wink. Pleasure floods inside of me. The thought of Aaron asking me to marry him thrilled me inside. I wanted to say let's do it. But I wanted to give him the time and the chance to ask me to marry him. I wanted to see how he would ask me for my hand in marriage. Not rush what we had right now. I smile at him. "I never thought we would find our way to one another. Fate had other plans for us huh?" I say softly. He nods. ♥☆♥☆♥ "We are meant to be. I always felt that in my heart. I could never give up on you. Or on us" he tells me. I stop a moment there in the path. I pull him in my embrace. He holds me close. "This date was so perfect Aaron, thank you for taking me out tonight" I say gratefully as he holds onto me. "Do you think your mother is going to be upset when you tell her that you plan to move out here with me in Washington?" he worries as he pulls me back to gaze at me. "No, I think she will be thrilled. She loves you to. Like the son she never had" I remind him. He grins. "Good" he says happily. "We can go out shopping this week. I want redo my home. We will pick out things together. That way it will be our home not mine. Ours. And we could go house hunting if you want something different" he offers. I shake my head. "No, I love your place. But I do like the idea of making it our place" I tell him. "Then it is settled. We will get you all moved out here. And we will make it our place" he tells me with a happy grin. "This all seems like the best dream. And I am going to wake up at any moment" I giggle. "If it is a dream damn I better not wake up" I chuckle. He kisses me. "Not a dream. This is real. Our reality" he promises. "Our new life"
