(Violet's Pov)
Clementine had told me they had set a date for her to leave this was going to be a long year, though she did say she would write letters, I was currently reading one right now. It was nice to read, even if it was hard, I had to have the paper up to my face. But this was funny when she was suggesting what I should be called if I don't want to be called Papa, but honestly the ideas she had weren't bad.
"Hehe, that's funny." I say to myself as I read her letter.
"What's funny?" I hear and look to see Kelly as she was in my room.
"Oh, just something my wife wrote in her letter." I say and look back to the letter. I was glad I was able to read but having the paper up so close to my face made me look ridiculous if I have to be honest.
"What did she write?" She asked.
"Uh… well um." I say and clear my throat a bit.
"Is it perverted?" She asked.
"No, no god no." I laughed and I fold up the letter.
"She was just giving baby name ideas and suggested I should be called ViVi." I say and laughed a little.
"She's having a baby?" She asked me.
"Well, no not yet." I tell her.
"But I thought you two were married?" She asked and I was a little confused at this.
"We are." I stated.
"Well… don't you need a man?" She asked.
"…Ooooh ok, no I mean well… we're talking to a doctor that can help us." I tried to explain.
"I still don't understand." She says and I rubbed the back of my neck a bit.
"Well… instead of her… having to sleep with a guy, she'll be uh… the doctors will… uh… it." I tried to explain but I don't know why I felt embarrassed about this. I rubbed my neck a bit as I tried to think of the right words.
"Should I ask a doctor this?" She asked.
"I mean… it would be best, I honestly don't know the whole process, sorry." I tell her.
"So, we have the group therapy again, you going?" She asked and I nod.
"Kind of have to." I say as I get up.
"What happens if you don't?" She asked.
"Don't know, might end up in jail I suppose." I tell her as we walked out.
"Oh, so like those AA meetings, you miss one and it's big trouble?" She asked.
"I suppose, the judge just made this a quick process he had a lot of things to do." I say and we headed to the group therapy room and we take our seats. Everyone else came in and the doctor spoke up as did the others but if I have to be honest, I didn't want to speak at all. I guess I was having a bad day today.
"Violet, care to speak up?" I hear the doctor ask and I look to her.
"Uh… sorry speak about what?" I asked.
"Well how did you use to deal with your PTSD?" She asked.
"Use to?" I asked.
"I mean, how do you deal with it, or use to if the first option didn't work." She says and I think a bit on this.
"At first I was distant didn't talk about it… kept to myself really, I mean I had to as a kid." I tell them and I think a bit.
"But… when I did have my moments… My Battle Buddy… I don't know but if I hear her heart beat, and she rubs the back of my head or she covers my ear so I'm just listening to the heart beating… I just feel calm… no it's not instant but it helps." I tell them.
"Kind of sounds like something a boyfriend could help you with." One of the girls say and I shrugged.
"Me and her had been through a lot together, when we were on the battle field I would watch her and she would watch me… and of course we both had to watch the group… when I went on leave, I had no place to go so she let me stay with her and her family." I tell them.
"So, she's like a sister to you." A guy says and I nod.
"Yeah, a really good little sister haha." I joke and everyone else got to talk. I stayed silent for the rest of the time here and when we finished, we went and did whatever we wanted for free time. I was in the game room and I could hear the television playing in the back ground as I was trying to play chess with Kelly.
"Hmm." I think and move my pawn.
"Oh, such a bold move there." She says and I nod at this.
"So did you play chess a lot?" I asked as she moved her pawn as well and I looked to the board a bit.
"I actually loved playing chess in school, they had a chess team but of course no girls allowed." She says as I moved my piece and then she moved hers.
"Guess they didn't want their egos to be blown if a girl beat them in a mind game… and yet they say we are manipulative." I joked as I moved another piece.
"Oh, trust me, they weren't good, on guy just left his queen in the open, made a mistake and bam, travesty to his whole game." She says and I laughed a bit.
"So how old are you exactly?" I asked her.
"My you shouldn't ask a lady her age, that's rude." She says and I chuckled a bit.
"Oh, it's not that bad, and that rule only applies to men." I tell her as she moved her piece.
"Check… I'm seventeen." She says and I nod and look to my pieces a bit.
"What about you?" She asked and I look to her.
"Twenty-five next summer." I tell her as I moved my piece.
"Check-mate by the way." I say and she laughed.
"So, your battle buddy… she nice?" She asked and I nod as she moved the pieces back.
"Very… she is kind, she is patient with me, she's smart as hell, and lord if you eat her food, best damn thing you'll ever have… honestly surprised I hadn't gained any weight with all the good food she makes." I joked and listened to the television again.
"As we get more reports on the war after it has ended almost seven months from now, we have news that weapons such as the atomic bomb that was used will not be used by any nation for wars." I hear and look to the television and I get up and go over to it. I turned the volume up a bit more.
"The atomic bomb had killed in total, over one hundred thousand people, that is including our own soldiers." The man says and I keep listening. They just ranted about many other things and I shake my head a bit.
"Shit sounds like that shit was really bad." I hear a guy say and I moved away from the television. The years would pass and Clementine had visited me on my birthday and Christmas as well. It was nice, I have about eight more months left here.
"She looks pretty." I hear Kelly say and I nod as I looked to the photograph that Clementine gave me. It was our wedding photo.
"She is a goddess." I say as I look to the photo more.
"Is she mad that you are here?" She asked and I look to her a bit.
"No, she's not." I tell Kelly.
"…Would she be mad." She seems to have stopped and I put my photo to the side and I look to her.
"Mad about?" I asked.
"…Nothing, I don't know." I hear her say and I look to her.
"Did you have a girlfriend when you got sent here?" I asked her.
"… No, she wasn't… she wasn't a girlfriend, she just… wanted to know some things… and she was pretty." She tells me.
"Did you two have a fight?" I asked.
"I didn't fight her but… I blew up at her at a party… then the bullying started and… well yeah." She tells me and I look to the poor girl.
"I'm sorry." I tell her and she nods. She then leaves the room and I looked back to the photo again and I don't know why but I just started to feel a little out of it. I shifted a bit on my bed so my legs were to my chest and I just kept looking at Clementine in the photo and I shake my head. Why do I feel like this? I know she isn't mad… Is she?
"Violet, you have a visitor." I hear and I look up a bit from the photo and I shake my head a bit. I put my photo in my chest pocket and I look to the door a bit.
"You coming out?" She asked.
"I uh… I don't feel so good." I tell her honestly and I look to the doctor a bit.
"What do you mean?" She asked. She was nice, she actually cared about us here.
"I just… I know it's Clementine… she's be very nice to me and I just… I don't know I feel bad… like she shouldn't be my friend anymore." I tell the doctor.
"Well from what you have told me, it doesn't seem like she doesn't want to stop being your friend… how about I let her come in here, you two can talk with me in the room if you are comfortable with that, but I'll ask her if she's comfortable with me being in the room too." She tells me and I nod at this. She heads out the room and then not even ten minutes later I hear the door open again and I look to see the doctor walk in and then I see Clementine.
"Hey, heard you aren't feeling good." Clem says and I nod. The doctor ends up leaving the room and I look to Clementine.
"I told her that you and I could talk things out, unless you really want her in here." She tells me and I shrugged.
"Maybe I don't know." I say quietly and feel her gently place her hand on my shoulder and I look to her a bit. She smiles at me, why? I'm in a god damn psych ward. I'm fucked up.
"What's going on?" She asked and I shrugged.
"Ok, we can just sit here and not say a word." She tells me and I moved my hand to grab hers. I pulled it over and I held her hand more in mine. She had to shift a bit on the bed in order to be comfortable. I feel her move more and she was laying in front of me with a soft smile.
"Hey." She says and I just nod.
"So, maybe eight more months." She tells me and I nod again.
"I have some of your favorite cookies, they said it was ok for me to bring them." She tells me and I just look to her then down. Why was she so nice? I beat up someone because I was broken. What if I did end up hurting our family? What if I'm just like my dad?
"Hey, Violet." I hear and feel her place a hand to my face gently and I look to her.
"I love you." She tells me and I look down a bit.
"Hm." I mutter and she moves a little closer and I just moved so my head was on her chest. She rubbed my head gently and I grip her shirt. I felt like I would lose her, she was so nice, I know I keep saying this to myself but she is. What if I'm stuck here forever? What if I can't get better?
"I'm sorry." I finally say and she keeps rubbing my head. I could feel her stroking my hair and I realized I needed to get it cut.
"For what?" She asked.
"Feeling bad." I mutter quietly and moved my head more onto her chest.
"There is nothing wrong with feeling bad… what has you feeling bad?" She asked me.
"I was… looking at our wedding photo and just… thought bad things about myself." I tried to explain to her.
"Do you want to tell me what you were thinking?" She asked.
"… I think I'll be like my dad… I get angry… I mean I'm here because I beat the hell out of Gabe and broke his damn jaw." I tell her.
"He kept pushing me and pushing me and… what if we had a kid? They don't understand this stuff and… what if I beat them?" I asked her.
"You won't." She tells me and I get a little agitated at that.
"Just cause you say that doesn't mean I won't… I just… Clem I don't-." I tried to say.
"Hey, hey, it's ok just listen to me and copy my breathing." I hear her say and I tried my best.
"What I meant was, is that it won't happen because I'll be there to help you if you need it, yes kids don't understand, but that's why we explain to them these things… I know you wouldn't hurt them intentionally, you dad hurt you with the purpose of wanting to hurt you, you just did it because your mind is…"
"Messed up?" I asked.
"Not so much messed up… it's wired differently because of the stress and PTSD, and then certain topics can cause problems, but you're not making the choice to hurt people… I know you never want to hurt people, I mean remember when I asked you why you would say a prayer?" She asked and I nod.
"Yeah." I say and feel her move her hand to my back gently.
"Well, you never wanted to hurt those people, yes we had to because of where we were but… you still did that for them because that's who you are." Shet tried to explain though I was still a little confused I could somewhat understand what she was talking about.
"You won't be a bad parent, you don't give yourself enough credit, but hey if you mess up a little here and there that's fine, first time parents mess up, and we learn." She tells me and I nod a little. I started to feel a little bit better and so I got up a bit and looked to Clementine and I feel her cup my face.
"So, I want to know what you want for dinner when you come back home." She says and I think a bit.
"I really liked that pasta you made." I tell her.
"You just want something simple?" She asked and I nod.
"Yeah… I mean it's what we eat here is simple stuff, depending." I tell her and I see her nodding.
"Ok, do you want garlic bread?" She asked and I nod at this. I would then lay on her and she laughed a bit at this and I smiled.
"I missed this." I tell her.
"I missed this too." She tells me and I feel her hold me.
"I love you too by the way." I tell her. After a while we finally got up and she hands me a cookie and I smiled at this and took a bite.
"This is a brownie." I say and she laughed.
"It's a brownie cookie." She says and we both laughed at this. I take another bite and taste some type of nut.
"This is good." I say and I feel her hold my free hand.
"That's good." She says quietly and I nod.
"So I heard from Jesus that the judge wants to see you early, he has a conference to go to on the day you were schedule to go back so they rescheduled it." She tells me and I nod.
"Yeah Jesus told me that last week." I tell her.
"Are you ok with that? I mean I know you wanted to stay the full three years." She tells me and I nod and finished the cookie and grabbed another one.
"Yeah, but I just might not want to leave the house for a while." I tell her. I feel her place a hand on my back and I closed my eyes a bit.
"Are you feeling a little better?" I hear her ask and I nod a bit.
"Yeah just… I don't know I can't… explain my feelings well enough, like… I can't explain why I felt the way I did and… fuck if I know." I tell her honestly as I opened my eyes.
"How's your eye?" She asked as she cupped the side of my face and made me look at her. She was blurry still and I feel tears in my eyes. I should be use to this but it still makes me feel like shit. I can't see her, I want to see her.
"What if that surgery doesn't work?" I asked her quietly. She pulled my head to her as she hugged me and I feel more tears fall.
"I might be paranoid and only thinking about the negative stuff but… I don't want to go completely blind… I would miss that smile." I tell her.
"We will work around it, and it's ok to worry a bit, I may not be in the same situation as you but I know what you are feeling… I felt like hell when I lost my leg, I was scared, and just all those emotions came at me all at once… but you, Lee, Carley and AJ helped me, Ruby and the others helped too… and you have everyone that will help you." She tells me and I sighed.
"It's bad to say this but… I don't like the fact that people are helping me sometimes." I tell her.
"You got so use to being independent and helping others, it's hard for you to get use to not being able to do that anymore." She tells me and I chuckled a bit.
"I mean don't get me wrong, I love it when you help me because… you make me feel normal I suppose… like when I don't have my cane with me, you hold my arm like we use to do on our walks into town… you let me hold the basket when we go shopping, and you don't… hover over me, like when I was picking my clothes out, and you let me do things on my own unless I really need that help." I explained to her as I put my head by her neck.
"I like how you let me feel normal even though I know I'm not." I tell her and I wrapped my arms around her gently. There was a knock at the door and I moved away just as it opened.
"I do apologize but visiting hours are over." I hear.
"Ok, sorry." Clementine tells them and I grabbed her hand gently. The door closes again and she kissed my cheek then tells me when she will be back. She then leaves and I lay back in the bed and faced the wall a bit. a few weeks would pass and currently I was inside the group therapy room just feeling bored and lethargic I suppose, I don't know I just felt like doing nothing and I was tired as hell from all of this.
"So, what should we talk about today?" The therapist asked and I just looked to the window a bit.
"Aren't you supposed to ask us the questions?" Patrick asked and I saw the rain coming down a bit and it was a little calming.
"Yes, but I was thinking that you guys should talk about anything you want." She tells us and I smirk a bit.
"We should go outside." I joked.
"Hell no, it's raining." A new girl says.
"Best time to run in the rain." I say as I get up.
"Violet, no." The therapist says.
"Fuck you, I want some fun here, fuck playing board games." I say to her.
"Are you ok?" Kelly asked.
"I'm great I just want to go outside." I tell them.
"Well, what about tomorrow?" The doctor asked.
"Best time to run is in the rain." I say.
"We'll get sick." Another girl says.
"No, we won't use to run in the rain a lot for PT, no pain no gain." I say as I was about to exit out the room.
"Violet how are you going to run if you are hard at seeing?" The doctor asked and I look to her.
"I know where the tree is." I mutter.
"Coe on sit down." She says and I groaned a bit and went back to my chair.
"So, with what you just did was basically tell us we should have a session outside?" She asked.
"No… just an impulse reaction of wanting to do something than sit indoors." I stated to her.
"Honestly, I think we should have a full day of fun, or at least an exercise room? I mean we have a gym but we can't do much." I hear one of the guys say and I nod.
"Yeah, we have a lot of energy to burn, we should be allowed to have a free day, no sessions, hell maybe with supervision yes, we could have just a party, food, outdoor events, come on wouldn't that boost up some people? I mean this isn't prison." I hear Kelly say and I nod at this.
"Well… what do you all think?" The doctor asked and everyone started to talk on how this would be a good idea.
"Alright I'll see if we can suggest this to the higher ups, and I will tell you when and if it can be approved, maybe work on some ideas of what this event could have and of course some safety precautions." She suggests. To be honest we all started to get pumped up at the possibility of having a day with fun and maybe having some good food and not the bland shit they have been giving us for the past few months. When the therapy session ended, people were talking to the others in the hospital to get some ideas. Everyone in the hospital then started to plan out some ideas of what we could have that was safe for us and others. The only problem was that some of the nurses and doctors thought this was a bad idea. And they complained about how we were mental patients that had to stay on a strict schedule. So sadly, the event never got to happen. A few more months would pass and I was currently back in the court room still cuffed. They were treating me like an animal still and I hated it.
"Alright, good to see you Violet, how are you?" The judge asked and I nod a little.
"Fine sir." I tell him.
"That's good, alright so your sentencing has been shorten just by a few months, but I do request that you set up a session with a therapist, from what we were allowed to obtain from your time, you seemed to have done really well until last month." He says and I look to the side.
"Care to explain?" He asked.
"I just… started to feel everything come all at once I suppose, it's hard for me to explain but I did talk about it." I tell him.
"Which we have noted, which is improvement, now I expect that you will be going to therapy?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yes, um… after my appointment and surgery though I might miss a few sessions." I tell him.
"So be it, anyway this is all that is needed, you are free to go, but the next time this happens I will have no choice but to lock you up in jail." He says and then banged the gavel. They take the cuffs off of me and I feel three people hugging me and I stumbled a bit.
"Uh, ok Large, medium and small people." I say and I hear laughing and knew who it was.
"Louis, Clem and AJ, got it." I say and they laughed again.
"Alright let's go." I hear.
"Hold on, Violet needs to see who she needs to talk to and when for her Parole." Lee tells them and I nod.
"Damn it." I hear Louis mutter and I pat his back. I did go and talk to who would be my Parole officer and she seemed really nice and understanding so that was good to know. When everything was said and done, Lee took all of us back home and I just started to feel a bit down again. I was inside Clem's home and I was sitting on the couch with her as we listened to the radio for a bit.
"Louis and the others will be over tomorrow." She tells me and I nod.
"Are you ok?" She asked and I nod and hold her to me.
"Just… missed you a lot." I tell her.
"What exactly happened last month?" She asked. Of course, she would ask that, she wasn't allowed to visit me that month.
"Hmm… just some arguing happened." I tell her.
"Ah, it's ok if you don't want to talk about it." She tells me and I nod. I hold her closer to me and I kissed her cheek. She giggled a little and I smiled at her. The days would pass and I was out with Clementine as we talked to the doctor about my eye surgery.
"Alright so you say it's been getting worse?" She asked and I nod a little.
"Yeah, just a little." I tell her and I hear some writing.
"Well, we can put you on a list, though there might be a chance that you might not get the same eye color." She explained and I nod at this.
"Now about you other eye." She says.
"Is something wrong with it?" Clementine asked a little worried.
"Well, no but I just need to know if there have been any problems with is, like have you been feeling it burn or any problems?" The doctor asked.
"No not really why does it need to be taken out?" I asked a little worried.
"No, no, not unless there is a major problem with your health, some people did go blind form the same experience they still felt it burning, or would have some complications that required the eye to be taken out." She explained to me and I nod a little.
"So, if I start feeling something wrong, I have to get it taken out too?" I asked.
"Only if you're having complications, if you aren't then you're fine." She tells us and I feel Clementine grab my hand gently and I nod a little at this information. I clear my throat a bit.
"So, I have you written down for a donor, it might take some time but it's fine since you aren't in dire need for the donor yet." She tells me and nod.
"Now you do know that there is a possibility of the eye being rejected right?" She asked and I nod at this.
"Yes." I say and hold Clementine's hand gently.
"And this could leave you permanently blind." They tell me.
"I know the risks of getting this." I tell them.
"That's fine I just have to repeat it." She tells me and I nod.
"But if she get's the surgery and everything is fine?" Clem asked.
"Well just so you know there could be a possibility of going blind over time but that comes with age, there is also some… psychological issues." They tell us.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Well, some people have had freak outs when they see that they eye isn't like their original, so you had bluish green eyes, but let's say the donor was hazel eyes?" She says and I listened.
"You might think that it's not you, you are looking at, and I'm not saying that you will freak out but it can be a possibility." She explained and I nod.
"Ok I understand." I say and I hear more writing.
"Now there is an experimental surgery going on where we could take both your eyes and you can see completely." She tells us.
"But I thought if my other eye wasn't causing me issues, I don't need to get the other eye done?" I asked.
"Yes, that is true but we do have the option for you to get both eyes done. If you want." They tell me and I had to think a bit.
"I uh… could I take some time on that?" I asked.
"Of course." They say and they do another check-up on me. Once done Clementine and I left the hospital and walked to the park. It was a nice day so I thought it would be a good idea at least.
"I should do it." I state.
"Do what?" She asked as she held my arm a bit.
"Getting both eyes done… I mean if it's possible, I don't know how damaged this eye is, I mean it's done for anyway but if it can help them further down the line then shit, I'm not losing anything." I explained.
"If that is what you want, it's up to you really." She says and I hold her arm a bit with my free hand.
"Alright than, I'll get it done… and then we can get your appointment done." I say and she laughs at this and I smile. I love hearing her laugh. We get home and she goes and turns on the radio, we spend time with making dinner. I was handing Clementine the buttered bread as she was making grilled cheese sandwiches and I could smell the tomato soup. I come up behind her and hold her waist gently as I lay my head on her shoulder. She moved her hand to place it on the side of my head a bit as she rubbed the side of my head.
"Comfortable?" She asked and I nodded at this. I then moved and kissed her neck gently and there was a knock on the door.
"Hmmm, stupid people." I mutter.
"Hey that's rude." She laughed.
"Hmm I want to spend time with my wife." I mutter in her neck as I kissed it again. There was another knock and she takes the food off the stove and then heads to the door. I grabbed a cup from the counter and took a drink of water.
"Violet it's a letter for you." Clementine says and I look up a bit and then head over to her.
"A letter?" I asked.
"Yeah, want me to read it?" She asked.
"Who is it from?" I asked as I go up to her.
"Your mother and sister." She says and I tilt my head a bit.
"Oh… uh sure." I say as we went and grabbed our food and drinks. We went to the living room and took a seat.
"Alright, it says… Dear Violet, hope you are doing well, Clementine told me that you were taking some time for yourself, I hope you are doing well, your sister is wanting to see you, I told her that you were trying to take some time to yourself and spend time with your wife. I hope you are doing ok, and whenever you can give me a call, Love Your mother and sister." Clementine read to me and I took a bite of my grilled cheese.
"I'll give her a call once everything is done… maybe she can visit when I have the surgery, I mean before it and stuff you know." I say to Clementine.
"That would be nice." Clem says and I nod. We listened to the radio for a bit as we ate our food and I look to Clementine a bit and set my plate down once she was done, I just grabbed her gently and pulled her to me.
"Hey is everything ok?" She asked and I nod.
"I just love you so much… you're so kind to me, you help me as much as you can, and if this surgery works then once I am healed up, I'm taking you somewhere really nice, we will have a full day just you and I, we can go to the park, head to those drive-in movies, hell if you want, we can go get that blasted television and just stay home all day… I want to take you dancing." I tell her and I feel her hug me back gently. She kisses my cheek and I hold her closer to me.
"I would love to go dancing with you." She says and I nod. I helped her clean the dishes and I think a bit as the music played, I grabbed her hand gently with one hand and placed my other hand on her waist.
"May I have the honors of dancing with my lovely wife?" I asked and I hear her giggle.
"You may." She says as she puts her free arm around my neck and we sway softly to the music.
"I must say Mrs. Everette but you look so damn beautiful, I may be blind but lord has let me know what you look like right now." I tell her and she lays her head on my chest gently.
"You have such a way with words, don't you?" She asked and I chuckled.
"But it is true darlin' I have been bless to be with a wonderful woman like you." I tell her as we moved a bit and I smile at her.
"I have been blessed to be married to a woman like you, and to have you with me till my dying days… I will cherish them every day." I tell her as we danced more.
"And how am I so lucky to be with someone like you." She says to me and I smile at her more.
"And our children will be lucky to have a loving mother such as yourself." I say as we moved out of the kitchen to the living room for some more room to dance. She laughed a little and I kissed her cheek gently.
"Our children will be happy to have two loving parents." She tells me and I smiled more as I pulled away.
"You my darlin are right on that." I whispered to her quietly and she kisses me and I kissed her back. We danced slowly and I felt happy at this moment. It was just those moments where you feel so happy that you just feel alive in the moment. I have a wonderful wife, she is my world right now, she is everything to me.
"You are my world, my light in the dark, you are the one good thing to happen to me, you help me when I need it and I hope I return the favor tenfold." I tell her.
"Violet-."
"No just… hear me out… I am in love with you Clementine, I m one lucky person to be able to have you as my partner, to have a family with you… and to one day see that smiling face of yours again would just make me feel over the moon… I want you to know that I would, no I will do everything for you just to pay you back for all this happiness, for all this help you have given me since we have met… when we were on the battle field you were a fearless woman." I tell her.
"You were and still are a fearless woman, and might I say if we were to go back to battle, I would hope to fight by your side again and again… and if reincarnation is true, I hope that in any next lifetime I get to meet you again and have many wonderful experiences with you Clementine." I tell her and I feel the tears hitting my shirt. She hits my chest gently and I look down to her.
"You and your fucking way with words." She says and I chuckled at this.
"How are you such a brute on the battlefield and yet such a sweetheart?" She asked and I smiled at her.
"I do believe a certain woman has made me a softy and I will be honest… you seem to have made me want to do better in my life… to be kinder in life, and to make myself be a better… So, I should be asking, how you Clementine Everette… how are you able to change a person just from short interactions? Are you an Angel sent from the heavens to help guide me in life?" I asked her and I hear her laugh and I was being serious; she has to be an angel.
"And what does that make you?" She asked me.
"A sinner who has seen the light." I tell her and she kissed me. I kissed her back and we stopped dancing. I pull her closer to me and when we pulled apart, I feel her place her head on my chest and I held her to me.
"All them words just to tell me that you love me… you just… it makes me happy that you can say all that just for three simple words." She tells me and I smile at her.
"I don't think I can say in words how much I love you." She tells me.
"You don't have to, because I know you love me just as much." I tell her. When the music stopped, we finished our dance and I kissed her again and again. We ended up going to our room for the night.
