"But you have to tell me your relationship with her. I deserve to know, if you do want to pursue this...thing with me."
"The whole story?" Edward asks.
"The whole story," I confirm.
"Kate and I first met in Junior year of college. We clicked, instantly," Edward sighed. "It wasn't long until we were dating."
A heavy feeling settles in the pit of my stomach but I nod, encouraging him to continue.
"It took me four years to convince her to move in with me. She insisted that she was still young and wanted her independence and to settle herself into her career as a fashion blogger. When she finally agreed to move in with me, I was ecstatic. I was happy with my job and I wanted to settle down, but Kate kept saying she wasn't ready to get married yet, but that someday she would be.
Everything was perfect, even if we weren't engaged. We were living together, we had a good group of friends, we had fun together. I had no doubt that she was it for me."
Everything with her is so opposite the way it is with me. I gulp and exhale a shaky breath. Is it possible to actually feel your heart splinter and crack?
"After we lived together for over a year, I wanted to propose. We had talked about marriage a bit, not a lot, but I thought that if I asked her to marry me she would say yes." He sighs, then continues. "So, I bought the ring and planned a nice dinner where I would propose."
Edwards quiet for a minute and looks lost in thought.
"Did you? Propose, I mean?" I interrupt his daydreaming.
"No. I never got the chance. It seems while I was planning to propose, she was already checked out of the relationship."
This was originally one looong chapter. But I split it in two cause it kinda seemed like an information overload.
Review and let me know what you think!
See you guys later!
