Somebody
Part 3
Five years have come and gone. Marissa and I are still together, have been ever since that night. To my surprise, our relationship has always been smooth sailing… I guess that when it's right, everything just falls into place.
I can still remember those early days. I was still stuck in my routine: I'd still go to the coffee shop every morning before work, the only difference being that I got to kiss her when I came back to pick her up. We decided to live together after one year and when we got settled into our new apartment, Marissa got me Rusty, my now almost four year old Beagle. On our second year anniversary, I bought Marissa a coffee shop, which she still happily runs.
I love every second I get to spend with Marissa, but one of my favourite moments was during our third year together… it was the year I proposed to her and she agreed to be with me till death do us part. It was truly a magical evening.
Naturally, we've had our share of fights as well, as all couples do. But we've always worked through them. There was never a night where we'd slept on different beds nor were there silent treatments and cold shoulders. One of us always gave in when such a situation threatened to emerge (especially me, cause once I'd experience sleeping in Marissa's arms, I never wanted to go back to sleeping alone).
Life has been great and I have Marissa to thank. I've fallen more and more in love with Marissa as time goes by. And I guess she was right: there's somebody out there for everyone and you don't always have to look very far. Sometimes happiness is just around the corner.
The End.
