She woke up the next day to the smell of coffee. It had been a long night. They had talked and cuddled but that was all. He had respected her fears of being touched that night but he had been there for her all through the night. She had ended up falling asleep in his arms, feeling safe.
She followed the scent to the kitchen where he was. He was making pancakes and the coffee was freshly brewed.
"Good morning," she said.
He turned around.
"Aaaw, you're up. I was hoping to surprise you with breakfast in bed," he said.
"I'm still surprised. This is very sweet of you," she said.
"Sit down," he said and served her pancakes and coffee.
"So how are you feeling today?" He asked concerned.
"Better than yesterday. Of course it will take time for me to process what happened and I hope you can be patient with me," she answered.
"I can. I got all the time in the world. I'm not going anywhere," he said and reached over to grab her hand.
She smiled at him. How could she have been so lucky to find this perfect man?
"However, we do need to talk about something," he said in a serious tone.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"As you know I'm only in town to visit my cousin and I'll be leaving in two days. I would like to stay here for those remaining days if it's alright with you," he asked.
"Of course," she said.
She tried to smile but it was hard considering he had just said he'd only be there for two more days.
"I know this is fast and it's gonna sound crazy but I've never been so sure about anything before. I'd like for you to come with me when I leave," he said.
"Where to?" She asked.
"To my home, my town. I want you to come with me and live with me," he answered.
"I'd like that very much," she said.
"Yeah, really?" He asked, his face lighting up in a huge smile.
"Yeah. As you said, it's crazy and fast but I feel the same as you. I've never been so sure about anything before either. There's nothing keeping me in this town and I just wanna be wherever you are," she answered.
He went over to her and kissed her.
"I'll treat you good for the rest of your life," he said.
"I know you will," she said and kissed him again.
