I smiled back at him, feeling my heart soar. "I've wanted you to," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
Johnson's face lit up with joy, and he pulled me into another kiss. This time, it was deeper, more passionate.
As we kissed, I felt like I was melting into his arms. It was like our hearts were beating as one.
Finally, we pulled back, gasping for air. Johnson smiled at me, his eyes shining with love.
"I love you," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion.
"I love you too," I replied, my heart soaring.
A YEAR LATER
I'll never forget the day I turned 18. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was finally free to make my own decisions, to live my own life.
Johnson and I had been talking about my future for weeks. He'd been patient, waiting for me to turn 18 so we could be together officially.
As soon as the clock struck midnight, Johnson took my hand, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Happy birthday," he whispered, his lips brushing against mine.
I smiled, feeling a rush of happiness. "Thank you," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
We stood there for a moment, the world around us melting away. Then, Johnson pulled back, a mischievous glint in his eye.
"Ready to start our new life together?" he asked.
I nodded, my heart racing with excitement.
We packed our bags, said goodbye to my aunt, and set off into the unknown.
Our new life together was everything I'd dreamed of. We rented a cozy little apartment, spent our days exploring the city, and our nights cuddled up together on the couch.
Johnson was everything I'd ever wanted in a partner. He was kind, supportive, and loved me for who I was.
As we sat on the couch, watching the sunset through our window, I turned to Johnson, my heart full of love.
"Thank you," I said, my voice trembling with emotion.
Johnson looked at me, confusion etched on his face. "For what?" he asked.
For being my rock, my safe haven. For loving me when I thought I was unlovable.
But I didn't need to say any of that. Johnson knew exactly what I meant.
He smiled, his eyes shining with love, and pulled me into a tight hug.
"I'll always be here for you," he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear.
And at that moment, I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be.
