Though I would love to… I don't… Otherwise Enjoy
Charlie just looked up at the stars. The sky was so beautiful. Away from the big city with all of those big lights and loud sounds you never really get to enjoy stuff like this. He would have never admitted it at first but he was beginning to like it. He felt a set of big arms come wrap around his waist and a big smile formed on his face.
"Hey babe." Colby whispered in Charlie's ear.
"Hey. Enjoyed your shower?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah but I would've enjoyed it more if you would've been in there with me. "Colby said squeezing the smaller man making him laugh.
"I bet! But then that would've been round 3 and we need to recuperate for a few hours." Charlie said.
"Well we go for another round later." Colby said.
"Ha-ha okay." Charlie chuckled.
"This is beautiful isn't it?" Colby asked.
"Yeah it's nice." Charlie said.
Colby went inside and got a blanket and brought it back out so they could lay down on the grass and watch the stars.
"What are you thinking about?" Colby asked.
"Nothing really. Just life in general." Charlie answered snuggling up to Colby.
"What about life?" he asked.
"Nothing really. It might mess up our trip." Charlie replied.
"Tell me. It won't mess it up I promise." Colby said.
Charlie looked at him once more before taking a deep breath before releasing everything that was on his mind.
"I've been thinking a lot about marriage you know. About coming home to kids running to me calling me daddy or whatever. Also about having a getaway place like this that I can bring a family too but being gay makes it hard to fulfill those dreams because I can't get married and I can't have any kids." Charlie said before stopping.
"Why'd you stop?" Colby asked.
"The look on your face tells me I'm scaring you." he replied.
" You're not I promise. I'm just listening." Colby assured him.
"You sure?" Charlie asked again not sure if he should continue.
Receiving a reassuring nod from Colby he continued.
"Don't get me wrong I still believe that someday it can happen but with everything in society it makes it hard. A kid with 2 dads is frowned upon and I wouldn't want my child to go through that. Even us being adults I still get looks from people and I hate it." Charlie said as his eyes began to water.
"It's okay." Colby said rubbing his boyfriend's back.
"I'm sorry." Charlie said trying to hold back tears.
"That happens sometimes. Being out and away from the city lets your mind wander and explore new possibilites." he said comforting the smaller man.
"Well it brought it all out." Charlie said with a chuckle.
"Good." Colby said.
Colby tight his grip around Charlie let his body heat keep him warm. A lot of things were running through his mind. He just had to figure out how to sort them out and what was gonna happen next.
"Let's do it." Colby said.
"Do what?" Charlie asked.
"Get married." he said.
Charlie's eyes grew to the size of golf balls in shock. He wasn't really sure what he wanted to say let alone what to do. He was speechless.
"Say what now?" Charlie asked again making sure he wasn't hearing things. Like all the fresh was going to his head and he was going crazy or something.
"Let's do it. Let's get married. I love you and you love me right?" Colby asked.
"Yes I love you." Charlie answered.
"So is that a yes?" Colby asked.
What will Charlie say? Will he say yes or no? Could the decision change their future together as a couple? All will be revealed in the next chapter.
I hope that everyone enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to review!
