everything that served as a barrier between us, Jayse covered my body with his, pressing gentle kisses against my neck then met my lips. My body was quivering with excitement .
“Ana?”
I nodded knowing what he way asking.
He kissed me while I felt pressure then pain that followed with each movement. He didn’t complain while I held him tightly,waiting for the pain to ease. Even asking me several times if I wanted him to stop. But I refused.
A few moments later the pain eased into something different. It felt nice. I fully understood why they called it making love. The love I felt for Jayse at that moment was overwhelming. It made my chest hurt. Even though I would miss him while he was away I’d have this moment to keep me sane.
Afterward, we lay silently holding each other until I knew I had to get home. My mother would be waking up soon and even though I was no longer in high school and was now legal, she would have my ass for staying over with a boy. Especially if she knew what we’d been doing.
The next few weeks flew by. I spent as much time with Jayse as possible. During the day we would stay in and watch a movie or others we would just lay in his room talking .At night we would find ourselves back in his room, occasionally enjoying each other’s heat. I’d never felt closer to Jayse, but sadly our time ran out and we were facing the day of his departure. I’d made a promise to myself not to cry and make it harder on him but it was beyond difficult. I found myself constantly blinking on the ride to the airport. His parents and my mother were standing back giving us some privacy. I knew any minute the tears would start but I pushed them back a little longer.
He held me tight while I took in everything I could about him. The way he smelled. How his hair started slightly curling on the tips. The clothes he wore. His smile.
“God, I’m going to miss you.” He whispered against my ear.
To my regret, I felt the tears trying to push through once again.
“I'm already missing you now.” I said with watering eyes. Three hard blinks cleared most of them.
I felt our family moving closer. I knew his parents wanted some time with him but I didn’t want to let him go.
Pulling back, he dug in the side of his bag. “Hey, there was one thing before I go. “ He looked over his shoulder at his approaching parents, then at my mother.
He pulled out a small box and to my surpise, slowly went down on one knee. I looked around finding the smiling faces glowing with approval.
“ AnnaLee Marianne White. I know this is a horrible time to ask but I want to spend the rest of my life with you and if you’ll have me when I get back, I want to know if you’ll be wife . “He popped the velvet box open, revealing a small,square stone ring.
I broke the promise to myself. I burst into tears, putting a hand over my mouth. Getting over my initial shock, I pulled him to me,wrapping my arms tightly around his neck. “Yes! Yes, I’ll marry you!”
He slid the ring onto my finger then kissed it. “You think this will be enough to keep you waiting for me?” He smiled.
I smiled back.” I’ll always wait for you, Jayse.”
“Forever?” Jayse kissed my lips.
“Forever.” I said,wrapping my arms around him,again,holding him close.
The intercom announced his flight was boarding. After he said goodbye to his parents I snuck in another hug and kiss, then he was walking to his terminal. He turned around while walking backwards.
“I’ll see you soon, An.”
I blew him a kiss watching while he caught it.
" Soon." I whispered,letting sad tears roll down my face.
Chapter Sixteen : AnaLee
I keep staring at the same picture. Jayse was smiling broadly at the camera while I looked at him full of love. He looked so happy. I looked happy. This is one of the main pictures I’ve stared at for the past three years.
After a box full
