She rolled over on the grass and I watched as the sun made her hair more golden.

I could see the small freckles on her shoulder that looked dark against her skin.

The sun warmed me but being with Isabelle was all the warmth I needed.

I watched as she explained something to me, watched as she used her hands to get the point across.

She would laugh and smile and her eyes would be wide and bright and I could read every word in them and I could see every image.

She moved closer to me when the wind started to blow and the air became cooler, I pulled her even closer in the circle of my arms.

She stared and I stared and then she bit her lip and I was reminded of last night when she seduced me and I brought her pleasure. I shook away those thoughts and watched her again.

There was silence but I didn't feel the need to fill the silence, we didn't have to talk but our body language spoke for us.

It was times like these where I loved her even more and I felt like I couldn't love her enough but then she does something else and my love grows.

She will always be here with me, riding bikes or singing me a cheesy song or helping me with math. She'll be here taking all the covers and keeping me up at night with the lights on so she can read. And she'll be here taking charge and being fearless but making me angry when she snot fearless with everything else, when she's scared to express her real feelings.

But the other times when she's home waiting for me with my favorite food or taking care of me when I'm sick or reminding me that we'll always be best friends or when she tells me I'm hers or now when she's looking at me in wonder like she's the lucky one.

I love her and I need to tell her whether she's ready or not, I can wait and I will wait.

I open my mouth the words on the tip of my tongue when she speaks and shocks me and surprises me and makes me the happiest guy to walk this earth.

"I Love you" she blurts out.

My heart beats out its thanks and my lips and hands.

"I love you" she says again.

"And I love you" I reply.

She smiles and giggles "it might be cheesy but yeah fireworks went off in my head and played a cheesy song"

I laugh elated "I loved you from the beginning and I'll love you to the end and whatever comes after the end"

I see tears pool in her crystal blue eyes and she's kissing me chanting "I love you too"

I roll us until we're on the side of the tree in the shade and no one can see us.

I want make love to her under this tree, I always see it on television and want to experience it for myself. I roll over until I'm on top and I take off her jeans and heels. I smile at them.

She watches me in wonder and awe and then we're both exposed, every brush of the wind and my hand excited her and she's pulling me over her, I kiss her and enter her as she wraps her legs around me.

And we're moving and I can feel all of her and it's too much and not enough at the same time. I want to be closer, I press hard against her but she doesn't complain holding me tighter a she moans in agreement.

"More"

"Slower"

"Faster"

"Yesss like that"

She guides me with each movement and I'm enraptured as the sun comes out again and shines down on us, I can see the golden flecks in her hair and on her skin. I can feel her heart beat against mines and the feeling is so overwhelming and I'm getting to the edge. She links our hands together and with our chest pressed together she whispers in my ear

"I'll love you always"

"Forever" I say.

And I'm gone over the edge and seconds later she follows screaming out sweet sounds mixed with my name.

We're riding our bikes around the park enjoying the break from school with family.

I look towards Isabelle whose hair is windblown and ayes are sparkling, I watch as the sunlight bounces off the ring on her middle finger. A promise ring because I promised mom I would wait until we're done with school, seeing the ring on her finger instills so many emotions in me. One day there will be another ring on her finger and it will mean more.

Isabelle sees me watching her and rides over to me bringing our bikes close together

"Hey pretty boy" she calls.

I smile at the nickname that stayed "yes beautiful"

She smiles back "will you marry me?"

My heart stops for a minute and then starts back again beating even louder, I'm so shocked not because she's thinking about marriage but because she asked first and I wanted to but thought she would think it's too soon.

"You don't think it's too soon?" I choke out.

She laughs loudly "of course not now but someday, you pick the date and I'll be there"

I take a moment to collect myself, a feeling more intense than happiness. I find myself loving her more and more every day and I always think my heart can't handle the capacity of this love but there is always room for her.

"You don't want to marry me?" she asks hesitantly.

I shake my head at her silly insecurities and pull her to me for a heated kiss "of course I want to marry you beautiful" I say my voice choked with emotion.

"Promise me that whatever happens, we'll be best friends always"

I take her hand in mine and kiss each finger before I get to the middle finger and kiss her ring "always" I promise.

I knew crushes ended.

And I know this is always and forever.

The End
