Arranged To Be His

To Fall In Love.

April's Pov:

4 years. 4 years have gone, by since that fateful day. The day I chose, that no one would control me. I have built a life for me since then. Doing what I wanted to do, travelling and writing my focus solely on them. No marriage, no bondage, no commitment, no responsibility and no pressure. I in this time, have travelled to my heart's content, exploring, living life to the fullest, like the rest. I have taken life in its stride. You wondered what happened to Alex and I?

Alex left giving me, the time and space I needed. He deserves better than me, someone who would love him with the same kind of love, he was willing to give me. I never said I didn't wanna fall in love. But marriage to a stranger ? That seemed far fetched. Impossible.

Ironic is when I wanted to have control over my choices, I resisted but now that I have full control, I still have a deep desire to let go. And this year has thought me one thing:

I couldn't give up on love.

I haven't. I have accepted that I can't control everything. I know now for sure, that I'm in love with Alex. I wasn't sure before but now I was. But I had left in upto fate, that if we were meant to be together, we would somehow find a way. One way or another I would be his and he would be mine.

I now am in America, travelling for work but it still, had that sense of adventure I wanted.

As I strolled, I had flashacks of my very first encounter with Alex. The docks, the ocean. And I found my way to a similar place. There stood a guy, staring at the horizon. As my footsteps sounded on the dock, the guy turned and my life spun 360° in flashback.

There stood the guy, I thought I would never see again. The one I love the one, I thought I lost.

Alexander Dylan Reed...

I had promised myself, if I ever found him I would never let go.

And I ran straight into his arms, like I was scared if I didn't he would vanish before my eyes, never to be seen again.

Alexander's Pov:

I stpod baffled, as she ran into my arms and engulfed me in her embrace. I lost all coherent thought, as those arms wrapped round me.I was dead for so long,the one I loved did not love me back. That thought crushed me. So I left. I couldn't bear her hatred. I left with a promise of waiting forever. I have been true to my word. I prayed everyday, that she would find me again, when she was ready on her own terms in her own way. And here she was. Her arms wrapped round me in a way, she wouldn't wanna let go. Life has its own way of testing us, on how forebearent we can be, on how we preserve when trials are ahead.

Maybe it's true. Not all things in life come easy. It teaches us to be patient. That all the good things find it way back to you, at the right time in the right place. You have to be ready and learn to never give up. I have however now, found the hope I had lost.

And right then as she stood in my arms, I realised that I never stopped loving her, I couldn't stop even if I tried. She meant more to me, than a stupid curse. I left to protect her from a curse, that would be her destruction. A curse couldn't keep me away from her even if it tried.

I left giving her my heart and soul. It still belonged to her. I never could hate her. My heart was meant to love her.

I said it not afraid anymore.

"I love you."

And in that moment when those hazel eyes looked into mine and said:

"I love you too."

And right then I knew that I wanted to be with her forever. I couldnt let her slip away like that. Not now not ever atleast not till forever still existed. 4 years ago I let her go I have lived in hell since then.

"Marry me?"

4 years ago, those eyes were afraid, scared, those hazel eyes held fear in them, of what could be but now they held a surety. I knew she wanted this, as much as I wanted it. I wanted it sooo much more. Her love, was something I craved for.

"Yes. "

Her voice as soft as a whisper, I would have missed it if not, for the proximity between us, but I knew in my heart if she would have said the same, from a mile away I would have heard it, just as clearly as now even if it was a whisper.

I fell in love again. Harder than before...

If it was possible to fall all over again.

To Fall in Love...
