know what true love feels like. It’s the butterflies you get every time that person walks into the room or you get a whiff of their perfume from another room. Aubrey does that to me. I knew that night, not so long ago, when I opened up to her that she’d be my wife. If I had to stay here another year to prove it, I would’ve, but I’m thankful she was smart enough for the both of us.
     I soon realize I was too focused on watching her that I missed my ceremony. “You may kiss your bride,” the pastor says. I pull her close, my hands cupping her delicate face and press my lips to hers.
    “I now give you, Dr. and Mrs. Ashford.”
    We raise our hands to the cheering of our friends. We walk down the aisle hand in hand. I pick up our bags and we head to the waiting van. Aubrey gives out hugs while I load our bags. I stand there watching her and thank God every day for her. She showed me the true meaning of love and patience. Maybe I should thank Liam. If he hadn’t shown up, I probably wouldn’t be here today.
    I lift my bride into the van and wave at everyone as we head off into the sun to start our next chapter.

Chapter 6
     
    “Good morning.” My lips skim against her bare skin, desperate for her. Since arriving in Beaumont our honeymoon has come to a screeching halt. I suppose living with your new in-laws, ones you’ve never met, sort of kills the mood. I’ve promised her we’d move as soon as we found a place of our own.
    “What’s so good about it?” I pull her blanket down, slightly, uncovering more of her. For two weeks I’ve grown accustomed to her sleeping in the nude and now she’s covered in a very offensive tank top. I kiss my way down her body, lifting the hem of her shirt and placing my lips on her back.
    “Nick.” She mumbles into her pillow. One thing I learned about Aubrey since being here is that she does not like the cold. At all. Not even in the cute winter jacket my mom picked up for her. I suppose I should’ve warned her before we got married, but honestly the thought never crossed my mind.
    I flip her over and attack her lips. This is as far as we can go and it sucks. Falling in love with her in Africa was hard enough, but to have already had her and not be able to touch her, it’s going to be the death of me.
    “What do you want to do today?” I trail my lips over her collarbone.
    “Don’t you have to work?”
    “Doctors don’t work on the weekends.”
    Aubrey adjusts under my weight causing more problems. I groan and bury my face in her neck. 
    “I want to look for an apartment or a house. Something for us to live in as husband and wife because I’m getting really needy.”
    I sigh. “I know, me too.” I rise up and look at my wife. I can’t believe that just over a year ago I was arriving in Africa with my tail between my legs and my heart broken. I knew I’d return home, but I didn’t bank on a wife coming back with me. “I love you.”
    “I love you too,” she pulls me close and kisses me deeply, making me pull away all too soon.
    “House hunting it is.” I jump up and get out of bed with my mind set on a cold shower.
    “I want to go to that little café on Main Street for lunch. Can we do that?”
    It’s a good thing my back is turned because the expression on my face will tell her exactly what my brain is saying. Hell no.
    “Sure, babe.” I exit the room as quickly as I can.
     
    I love our Sunday afternoons. Noah goes to the Preston’s and we get to just relax. Today, Josie has a surprise for me. I’ve tried to figure it out, but she’s kept it a secret. Even Katelyn wouldn’t tell me.
    Josie drives us to the park. I look at her questioningly; she just shrugs playfully as she gets out of the car. I follow and jog to catch up with her. I reach for her hand, bringing it to my lips. I place a lingering kiss and wish my ring were gracing her finger.
    I can’t help but think this is the right moment. The one I’ve been waiting for, but I can’t take
