"Callie, baby are you ready". Brandon says from the door frame as I looked into the full body mirror in front of me. "Yeah". I say with a small smile. Brandon thought I was glass at moments. He forgets how much we've been through together... and things before him... he comes from behind me and rest his chin on my shoulder. He wraps his strong arms around my waist. So much has changed since we were 16. Not just how strong our love has grown but as well as our looks. My once short hair was now very long. I used to never be a fan of makeup or getting dressed up now I enjoy it. I had accessories on, as my long pale brown hair was in waves past my chest. My once pale skin was tanned. I lace my hands with Brandon's. My manicured fingers with my engagement ring as well as my wedding band. I look into Brandon's green eyes and long eyelashes. His once shaggy brown hair was now slicked back and styled with gel. His once bare face now had a stuble. His teenage self didn't know what an iron was now my husbands favorite thing was watching me iron his clothes and tell me
How horrible I am at the creases. How his wedding band never leaves his finger. His big beautiful piano hands. "We've gotten through the storm baby". He says stalling as he kisses my check. He gulps and as he places his hand on my stomach and smiles wide showing me his beautiful perfect teeth. He tugs on my hand and leads me out of the bedroom. He unlocks the Range Rover with the key fob. I sit in the passenger sit as he gets in. He kisses my head. I look into his eyes. There's nothing but love. There's nothing I wouldn't do for this man. We've watch each other grow from Teenagers to adult. I close my eyes until we reached our destination. My thoughts go back to being ashamed of again being told we betrayed everyone. I didn't care about my self I cared about him... Brandon.. no Mater what I chose to be with my father. Because that was the only way I could be with Brandon. I never wanted to stay his foster sister. That just felt wrong. We loved each other we didn't need all the negative feedback from everyone else. Steph and Lena. They... were amazing to me and Jude. They truly took my brother in and me as family. Jude always belonged with them I on the other hand belonged with Brandon... no matter what he was everything. I was always so scared getting rude hurt that I was scared and cautious of what I truly wanted. I was always pushing Brandon alway for his own safety. But nothing stopped him. I was always so scared I'd drag him along into my damage life he didn't care he wanted me no matter what. He risked getting him self into so mush trouble while we weren't together. When it came to juliard he dropped out. He did everything in power to make sure I knew he was lost without me. I couldn't believe i was so blessed with him. He truly was a blessing. A tear excaped my eye. As I lean my head against the window. But as usual my husband saw at the red light he grabbed my chin and kissed the tear away. He swept my hair off my face. "I love you".' He told me. That made me feel even more emotional. He was always The strong one even when
It was me that needed to be strong for him. I should be the one holding his hand but my husband was fearless. He told me time after time I was fearless but that was so untrue. I was full of fear that I'd lose him. Or he'd get tired of me, or something horrible would
Happen. That's when all the water excaped. "What if something hap... happens to you". I say small. Looking up at him. "Don't think like that, I'm invincible, we've been through hell. A blessing like this is extacly what we need in our life". He says smiling. I kissed him as I squeezed his hand tight.
