Chapter 21
Instead of going back to college right after New Years like I had planned, I decided to stay my full break. I spent every night of my break either at Kevins or he came to my parents house with me. But we never spent one night without each other. During the morning, even though Kevin and I would try to stay away in our own little space. Mother was not having any of it, and had too much wedding planning to do to just allow us to sit around with each other. For some people it may seem too soon to already be engaged and planning our wedding with Kevin. But this man has been the love of my life since day one. I know this is where I need to be, and it feels right.
Kevin did not want anything in our wedding to be something that Daniel picked out, or mentioned while Daniel and I were planning our wedding. It was a little silly and stubborn, but that's how Kevin is. And I love that scout him. Luckily though, Daniel and Kevin had very different taste, so we hardly ran into that problem. We decided that we were going to get married that summer around the time we first got together. My mother was a little frantic with out little time we actually had to plan. But this is what we wanted. After Kevin graduates we want to be married.
Yes, Kevin decided that four years was more than long enough to be in college. After he graduates, he planned on moving in to my apartment with me as I finish up schooling. During the time I finish up school, we planned on saving up so we can get a house of our own. Kevin says he needs a yard and a dog and a place for our future children to grow up in. But I also know that he just hates the idea of apartment living, and probably not to thrilled on the fact that Daniel and I lived together in that apartment. But that is of the past now, and Kevin is my future. We are going to make so many more beautiful memories together in that small apartment.
"You don't need this." Kevin threw out a pair of my silky red boxers that he loves out of my bag.
"Kevin, will you stop that?"
"You're only going to be wearing them for me! I won't be there, so you don't need them!"
"But on your weekend visits now and then I will need them." I put them back in my bag and a few of my sweaters.
Kevin, yet again threw a few of my sweaters out of my bag.
"Kevin Barr!"
Kevin wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. "Future Eddward Barr!"
I could not hide the smile from face, even on his annoyance, he made me smile. "I know you do not wish for me to go."
"I'll miss you dude."
I kissed Kevin sweetly on the lips. "And I shall miss you my love. You have to allow me to pack though."
Kevin sighed and threw himself back on the bed as if in a pout. "Fineeee."
I continued to finish packing, and I will admit, I did not want to pack as much as Kevin did not want me to. But our agreements were simple for the last semester Kevin was going to be away from me. He would stay with me during every break. And as long as his grades were good, he would stay with me for a weekend or two during the month. Of course Kevin wanted to come every weekend. But it would be a lot of driving and money that would be better spent with saving up for our wedding and our house. We made the promise to webcam chat each other every night. Even though these next few months shall be hard without my other half by my side. I know it shall be worth it in the end.
I took one of my smaller bags as Kevin insisted that he carried the rest down stairs to my parents car. It was like I was reliving the first year of getting ready to leave for college all over again. Expect this time I was older and wiser, there was snow on the ground, and my lover was there to see me off. Kevin helped my father back my bags in the back of the car. Oh how I wish he could come with me. But alas, Kevin has his own packing to do to leave for college tonight.
After the car was packed and my parents patiently waited in the car. Kevin came up to me and wrapped his arms around me as tight as he could. Almost as if he was wishing if he squeezed me close enough to him, part of me would be left with him. Even though I know I was in his heart, I did not blame him, for I was wishing the same thing. Kevins lips pressed deeply into mine as the dances together for a few moments.
"Man, I'm going to miss you so much."
I brushed Kevins red hair back so I could stare into those green eyes. "I will miss you too. But it is not for forever that we will be separated."
Kevin pressed his forehead to mine, keeping his eyes locked on mine. "I know. It's like I just got you back and now you're leaving though."
"We have forever together Kevin."
He smiled and ran his fingertips slowly over my back. "I like the sound of that."
"As do I."
We gave each other another thigh hug and a few more parting kisses. Kevin held my hand as he walked me to the car and held it as I got in after he opened my door for me. Any little and simple touch seemed so important right now. We both wanted to still feel each other till the next time. As I buckled up, Kevin leaned in to give me one last kiss.
"I love you babe."
I blushed as I felt my heart flutter like it always does as he says those words. "I love you too."
Kevin closed my door and step back as my father started the car. As we pulled out, that tug on my heart happened again like last time. But this time, it was not painful, it was more likes Kevins heart was calling my name. If that is at all possible. As I turned to look out the window, this time I was not filled with tears and hurt, watching Kevin cry as I left. This time I was filled with love, and a smile grew wide across my face as I saw Kevin, smiling as big as he possible could, waving me goodbye. I waved back until I could not see him anymore and turned back to face the front. I sighed happily, this was a much better parting memory that will now replace the old one.
I felt my phone buzzed and as I picked it up, I saw Kevins name with a message.
"I love your smile."
Yes, I do believe I will miss being away from my redhead everyday. But I am now finally happy again.
