had before in Garett’s
life. He’d almost told her that he loved her, had seen in her eyes
that she loved him, but he’d been too afraid to tell her, afraid
that he would disturb the perfection of their evening
together.
Waking up with her in his bed, Garett
knew that it was where she was meant to be. He knew that every
decision that he made about the house from that point on would have
to be approved by Acasia. It might not be their house quite yet,
but he had already started to see the house as hers almost as much
as it was his, and that too felt right. He was head over heels in
love with Acasia after two weeks of being her man, and though he
felt more than a little silly imagining their children, he knew
that she was the woman that was meant to carry his
children.
He was afraid that he would scare
Acasia away, send her running as far away from him as possible if
he revealed his true feelings for her, but he knew that the day
would come all too soon that he would confess his love for her. It
was already hard enough as it was not to tell her, and after having
made love to her, he knew that it was going to be even harder to
hold back. But he wanted everything to be right. The thought of
losing Acasia already scared him, and he knew that he would do
anything to make her stay with him. It was where she belonged, and
he only hoped that she felt it as much as he did.
Acasia
Acasia was happy with Garett. She
missed him when she wasn’t with him. Nothing brought a smile to her
face more than seeing him unexpectedly. She was in love and there
was no going back.
He had made a lot of progress on his
house. She was proud of him, and tickled when he asked for her
opinion on changes he wanted to make to the old place. She knew
that he was beginning to think of it as their house, and she looked
forward to the day when it would be their house. Things may have
been moving fast between them, but it didn’t make it feel any less
right.
Her life felt like it was heading in
the right direction for the first time in a long time. She knew
that soon Garett would tell her he loved her. She looked forward to
saying the words herself. She was looking forward to every first
with him. She was already finding herself looking forward to being
his wife, carrying his child.
While there was a part of her that knew
she should be cautious, and not jump into a relationship with
another man that might break her heart, she had felt herself
jumping in wholeheartedly. She was herself when she was with
Garett. And he had shown her a side of him that she had never seen
before. He was passionate. So passionate about her, so passionate
about doing what he loved. It made her want to find something that
she loved.
Things were almost going too well
between her and Garett though. She was afraid that something would
come up to tear them apart just like it had in all of her other
serious relationships. She tried not to think of all the things
that could go wrong and tried to just enjoy being with him without
worrying, but sometimes it was hard. The fear still lurked in the
back of her mind that Garett would eventually find something about
that her that wasn’t lovable and would leave her as Gavin had or
cheat like Colton.
She had no reason not to trust him, and
told herself she was being paranoid, but the disquiet remained. She
felt like she waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Garett
Acasia had been acting strangely for
the past few days. He was worried that he had done something wrong,
and he tried to question her casually, but she claimed nothing was
wrong. It didn’t seem like she was mad at him. It seemed more like
something was on her mind, that she was starting to have doubts
about being with him.
He had no doubts about being with her.
Spending time with Acasia only made him want to spend more and more
time with her. He was worried that she had regretted making love
after only two weeks of dating, but her passion for him hadn’t
died. She
