Chapter Six
It seemed like the next day, but a few months had passed. And Jamie had been wonderful through it. She never complained when she wasn't feeling well and always had a smile on her face. She acted perfect.just like she always did.happy and filled with hope. You could hardly tell she was pregnant because of her loose clothes, but she was beginning to show. Somehow that made it all the more real. This was really happening.no going back.not that I wanted to.
One night I found her standing sideways in front of the mirror, smoothing her dress with her hands and smiling at what she saw. I grinned at her though she didn't realize I was there. But she soon felt my eyes on her and looked over at me. "Why are you smiling like that?"
"Because.I think." I walked over to her, my hands going to her hips. She looked up at me with interested eyes.
"What?" Her voice was soft, totally unaware of how breathtaking she was.
"I think.you are absolutely beautiful." Her smile faded and appeared in her eyes. "And I love you." Her chin slowly tilted up towards mine and then her lips graced my own. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her close. She continued to kiss me, her hands traveling through my hair. I picked her up then and carried her to the bed, never breaking our kiss. Her body was slightly underneath mine as she allowed me access to her neck. I felt her move suddenly.except she didn't really move at all. I pulled away abruptly and she looked at me with curious eyes. "What was that?" I questioned with a rasp in my voice and she furrowed her brow.
"What was what?" She asked innocently, though I think she knew what I was talking about.
"You just moved without moving." She grinned knowingly and placed my hand on her stomach without saying a word. I felt the slightest movement underneath my hand and my eyes traveled to her face. She was smiling softly at me, loving the moment. "Was that.is that?" She nodded, the smile never leaving her face. "That is so.cool." She laughed at my choice of words, but she knew what I meant. She understood that I couldn't really put into words what I was feeling.
I looked at her adoringly then, the sparkle in my eyes matching hers. Everything became truly real. I thought it had before, but I was wrong. This moment is what made it a reality. "Thank you." I whispered and she pulled my face towards hers. I rested my forehead against hers, my hand stroking her hair. Her fingers lightly touched my face urging me to kiss her.and I did. *********************************************************** "Come with me." I took her hand and led her to the porch. "Wait here."
"Kay." I went inside and opened the nearest window and turned on the CD player and then returned to her. She was anxiously awaiting whatever I had in store.
"Will you.dance with me?" I sounded like I did when I asked her out for the first time, and she smiled at me and fell into my arms, her head going to my chest. I never danced until I met her. She was the first person that gave me a reason to want to learn.
Find me hear Speak to me I want to feel you I need to hear you
You are the light That is leading me To the place where I find peace again
You are the strength That keeps me walking You are the hope That keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul You are my purpose You are everything
And how can I stand here with you And not be moved by you Would you tell me How could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms You give me rest You hold me in your hands You won't let me fall
You still my heart And you take my breath away Would you take me in Would you take me deeper now
And how can I stand here with you And not be moved by you Would you tell me How could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you And not be moved by you Would you tell me How could it be any better than this?
'Cause you're all I want You're all I need You're everything Everything (×4)
And how can I stand here with you And not be moved by you Would you tell me How could it be any better than this?(×2)
Any better. any better. yeah Any better than this Would you tell me How could it be any better than this?
"That's how I feel about you Jamie." She looked up at me surprised and yet obviously touched at the same time. "I remember waking up one morning and thinking that it just doesn't get any better than this. And it doesn't.you are the best Jamie." A stray tear rolled down her cheek and I wiped it away.
"How can I be the best when you are?" My brow furrowed as I slowly swallowed. She tilted her head with a smile of pleasure. My eyes searched her face, the love in her own eyes, the way her face held such a sincere look. I looked down at her hand and took it mine, my eyes never leaving it.
"Why do you say things like that?" I didn't deserve it.I never deserved her love in the first place. I knew it when she was sick and I knew it then, but somehow she didn't see it that way. She loved me for who I was, for the man that I became because of her.
"Because it's the truth." My eyes raised slowly, my cheek pressing against her hand that was caressing it. My free hand rose and covered hers, our other hands still intertwined. I closed my eyes at the sensation. "You're my angel remember?" Even though she wasn't sick any more, she still gave me that credit. I opened my eyes quickly, dropping her hand and pulling her face to mine. The action was sudden, but she came willingly.
And as I continued to kiss her, I thought of everything we had been through and the love that never seemed to waver, but only grow stronger. Our love was bonded forever. I didn't tell her my thoughts, but like always.she knew.
