softly.
    “ Hey yourself.” Ally replied.
    “Ally, I am sorry I broke your heart,” he whispered as he pressed his forehead against hers. “I promise I will never break it again. I will never keep anything from you. From now on, no more secrets. Ally you are my future. I was so lost without you. I don’t care what the future holds once I have you in it. You mean everything to me.”
    Ally didn’t reply. Instead she lean ed up and kissed him softly on the lips. And he understood. He knew she loved him too.
    Cole glanced over at the clock on the night stand and it was two minutes after twelve.
    “It after midnight,” he whispered smiling down at Ally. “Happy New Year gorgeous girl.”
    “Happy New Year Cole,” Ally smiled as Cole claim ed her mouth once again.

Chapter 5
    Ally woke the next morning and for a moment was confused by her surroundings. She had become used to the dull grey wallpaper and curtains that were in Sid’s spare room. She felt a hand slide across her body and pull her close and she remembered exactly where she was.
    “Good morning , gorgeous girl,” Cole smiled, as he pulled her closer to him. Ally turned to him and smiled but she couldn’t help but feel the small bubble of insecurities begin to blossom deep inside her. Cole noticed something wasn’t right immediately. “What’s wrong?”
    “Nothing,” she lied as she threw the covers back and went to climb out of bed but Cole took hold of her arm and pulled her back to him.
    “Ally,” he said as he rolled her onto her back and roll over until he was almost on top if her. “I thought we agreed no more lies?”
    Ally didn’t respond. She stared down at his bare chest, refusing to look into his eyes.
    “Ally, look at me,” he said in a commanding tone. Ally slowly let her eyes meet his. “Talk to me.”
    “I think last night was a mistake,” she whispered nervously as she dropped her eyes back to his chest. “I mean… I just don’t know…if…”
    “Ally, please don’t over think this,” Cole said, trying he best to stay calm, but Ally could hear the edge in his voice. She knew he was trying to sound calmer than he felt. “I love you. Please believe that. And I know you love me too.”
    “But it’s all moving so fast, Cole” she replied suddenly feeling braver. “We barely know each other. And so much has happened. I don’t know where I belong anymore. Everything is so confusing.”
    “You belong here with me!” Cole said, like the answer was obvious. “We belong together. Nothing else matters.”
    “Cole you have a son,” she cried, once again letting her eyes meet his. “He matters. You are his father. I know what it is like to have a father that doesn’t care. I can’t be with someone who …”
    “Ally, stop this.” Cole interrupted her. “Of course I care about Ben. He is my son. And I will always be there for him. But that doesn’t change how I feel about you. You are my future too Ally. You are who I want to spend the rest of my life with. Please don’t push me away.”
    “Cole I want to spend the rest of my life with you too,” Ally whispered as the tears pooled in her eyes and she quickly pinched them shut. “But I am afraid, you will break my heart again. And if you did I would never get over it.”
    “Ally, I promise,” Cole said as he softly took hold of her chin and tilted her face up to his. “I will never hurt you again. Please believe that.”
    Ally slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Cole and all she could see was love staring back at her. She knew he loved her but right in that moment she could finally see just how much.
    “I love you, Cole,” she breathed as she softly pressed her lips to his. He didn’t reply with words. He claimed her mouth with his as he slid his legs between hers and said what he wanted to say with his body.
