The Architect of Life

Chapter 7

Its so cold. June looks at me and I smile go get dressed she does and I make homemade hot coco with marshmallows. I get every thing set up and then go change. We also bought dorky hats. Hold on our families should see how cute we are. I set up the phone and take a few different pose pictures of us. We go through them, they all came out fantastic. There's one I love definitely screen savor worthy. It's us sitting on the couch with the blanket on and hot coco in hand we are looking at eachother and have a genuine smile on our faces and what looks like love? I shake my head too soon I think to myself. We send a group chat message and then we decide on a movie I get really excited at the classics and when she picks Charade with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant I think I fell in love. I stare at her she says I know its not a new film but its one of my favorites along with Princess Bride, Pride and Prejudice and well most of the Die Hard movies. I look at her and say its one of my favorites too. I purchase the movie then say hold on I want to show you something I log into to my vudu account and show her my favorite list. She says no way and then laughs I love all those movies on that list. You do? Yeah! Could you be more perfect? Oli...No June the more time I spend with you the more I don't understand how I never knew this stuff about you. Maybe it's because of my age you didn't notice. Maybe, I also completely understand why everyone thinks we'd be good together. I put my arm around her and she snuggles into me as we start the movie.My phone goes off I laugh. What's funny? I show her my phone. Our families are awwing and lol-ing at the pics we sent. They all came to a consensus that we look adorable together. Along with my brothers saying too bad she's not legal yet, because you could marry that girl tomorrow. After the excitement we settle in and watch the movie . We pause it to take bathroom break brush our teeth. We put everything away then finish it. June's exhausted and wobbles when she stands. I swoop in and carry her to bed. As we lay there we talk about the future.

Hey Oli, are you sure you want to see where this goes with me. Yes I am, why? Well you might be in a different place then me. What do you mean? Are you going to want babies right away? I ask because I still have a year and a half till I'm legal and I will still be in college. I will want at least a year or two in my career before I want babies. Well I understand that and I agree that you should have more time before you have babies. Oh, she says now she looks sad. June what's going on? Well I guess I was right you don't want to be with me. She rolls away from me. I roll her back June what do you mean? You said my babies. Meaning you don't want babies with me. I sigh, June thinking about you having babies right now is a little disturbing because you're sixteen. I do want to continue to be friends and then more but you have to stop putting words in my mouth. I will always be honest with you about what I want. Someday I want babies with an adult June, ok. Ok, Oli I will wait till it gets closer. Closer to what, I ask as she's almost asleep. She mumbles when you marry me. I love this dream she sighs and falls asleep. I look at her and promise her even though she's sleeping, I will never hurt you.

June

Once again I wake up in strong arms and I realize I'm going to miss waking up in his arms. I go to use the bathroom and end up waking him up he flips over and starts tickling me I laugh and say stop p-p-please I'm going to pee. He stops and lets me up and I go to the bathroom. I come out and say I'm making breakfast today, need to show off my skills. Go get ready Oli. I pull everything out and see he has the ingredients to make eggs benedict and bacon. I start the bacon and start my toast and hollandaise sauce. When everything is about done I go head and poached eggs. I finished plating and walk to the table at the same time as Oli. I set the plates down then go back to the kitchen to get our water and coffee. When I come back and sit Oli takes a bite and moans. Babe this is so good. Thank you, glad you like it. When we are finished we clean up and get on the road to head back. Throughout our ride we talk some more about goals and what we want our lives to look like. I ask him how many children he wants. Well as many as grown up you wants to give me. I laugh. It's really hard for you to imagine me pregnant huh? Well you aren't old enough for me to allow my brain to go there. I get it. June I will be happy waiting for all of those things with you. I promise. We arrive back and I want Oli to kiss me so bad, but he won't he promised my dad. I really like him a lot. Before we arrive at the house Oli takes me to the lake and we sit in the car and talk for a few minutes.

Oli

You've been fidgety for the last twenty miles or so. Tell me babygirl what's wrong? I see tears start to slide down her cheeks. I'm scared. Of what? If I give you my heart, that you'll destroy me. Why would I do that? I'm not good enough for you. I'm not pretty enough. You're older and I'm sure I will act immature sometimes and upset you or annoy you. I will make you not want to be with me. I get out of the car walk over to her side and help her out. I open the back seat and get in. I have an SUV so big back seat. I sit her on my lap. June, we will no doubt have times where we are upset with eachother, maybe even annoyed. However, we will talk about it. We will work it out because that's what you do when you care for another person. I want you in my life. You are my choice. I CHOOSE YOU. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Don't worry ok. She snuggles into me. Alright Oli, take me home before I forget you made a promise to my dad and I kiss you anyway. Oh it's like that little one. Yeah it is now take me home. Yes ma'am.
