Skyler

"Sky, I know what you are thinking about." He said when I said no. I couldn't control my tears. All my life I have dreamt of this. Dreamt that someone who would love me and propose to me. , this was better than what I dreamt but can I be selfish. I loved him too much to not keep him bound to me.

"I love you, Shane, You are my everything but I can't. I love you so much that I cannot go away from you. I can't bear the loss of another loved one and you. I won't be able to see you broken if I...We should move on before it's too late. I have cancer and I don't know if..." Shane places a finger on my lips nodding to not finish that statement.

"Don't you dare finish that statement?" I look at him and a tear slid down his cheeks and it broke me to see him like this. It had to happen and I knew that. It better be now than later.

"You can't run away from the truth, Shane. We can't predict anything. It will be  of me to keep you bound to me and I know I am doing the same now."

So, this is it. I was thinking about what will happen next. Where will I go? I don't have anyone except for him. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I thought about it. This was harder than I thought it would be.

I took deep breaths. It was a lot to take in. I start coughing and he steps closer to me as he held my hand and rubs my back to calm me down.

He pulls a chair and makes me sit down. He sat on his knees resting his head on my lap holding me tight by my waist."What if I want you to be selfish?"

"No, Shane. I will leave first thing in the morning. This cannot happen. You have your whole life ahead of you while mine is still ascertain. I am sorry, Shane. I can't do this."
I broke down into tears. This is something which was supposed to be done before. I didn't know what was to happen next and the thought scared me.

"Sky, I know everything yet I still want to stay beside you. I decide with you after everything and I will never regret that decision. You are my whole world and I can't let you go alone now. I want you and you only."

He choked on his words is when I realize he was crying. "You pushing me away will not change my feelings. Even if you decide to go now I won't stop loving you. I told you WE WILL FIGHT THIS TOGETHER. Don't push me away, Sky Please."

I could hear his voice cracking. It's as if it pleaded with me to not go. I was unsure but I know how it feels to lose someone you love. I could feel he was scared to lose me and I knew.

I was barely hanging on my senses. I have never felt so wanted, so cherished. I know no one except Shane can make me feel like this.
"Shane, I will marry you."

Shane was beyond happy. He lifts his head to meet my gaze. His eyes were red bloodshot red due to crying which was rare for I have rarely seen him crying.

I could see his face glow up after I nodded a yes. As for me, I don't know how to describe my feelings in words. Shane then kisses my hand and then slides the ring on my finger.

He kissed me and this was different than the other kisses we had. It was a sweet and gentle kiss yet passionate at the same time.
The way his lips played with mine was his way of claiming me his.

We both were overwhelmed by everything. After which we took a walk by the beach. We didn't say anything and we were just holding hands looking at each other but we spoke a million words in that silence.

I couldn't stop smiling. I was thinking of a day when I smiled so much that my cheekbones hurt and I can't think of any. This man is going to be my husband and I can't wait.

We drove back home and as soon as Shane opened the door and we entered in, our lips met each other and Shane pinned me against the door. My hands traveling his hair and his hands held me by my waist as he pulled me closer than I already was. I knew where this was heading and I was ready.

As we were kissing each other ready to have the best night of our lives. I took off his coat and unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt is when he was slowing down. I could sense his doubts. He was hesitant and I knew why.

He didn't want to hurt me or make me feel pressured. I was ready to be his. I whispered in his ear kissing his cheek as I put my hands around his neck embracing him In a hug

The words I whispered in his ear were enough of a confirmation for him. "I am Yours."

I felt his strong arms lift me in his arms as Shane carried me to the bedroom and carefully laid me on the bed. He was on top of me and looked at me as I lay naked in front of him. This felt right. I look at his eyes to find them full of love for me. My heart fluttered as I looked deep into his eyes.

He pecks my lips slowly and passionately. In between his kisses, he scoots closer as I hear his deep husky voice. The warmth of his breath on my bare neck setting my body on fire made me wonder if anyone can make me feel like this and the answer would be no.
"I love you so so much."

"It's hard not to love me," I mumbled smiling and he laughed at the statement kissing me.

I tangled his hair in my fingers pulling him close as he pulls me by my waist kissing my neck. His kisses trailed from my lips to my neck as I moaned. He whispers in my ear moving my hair to the left.

"You are driving me wild. The things I want to do you." He chuckles.
Shane, I could kiss him forever and never get tired of him because he was everything I had. My best friend, my boss, and now my fiance. I was addicted to Shane and to have him by my side whatever time I am left with is a blessing.

I can't wait for him to be my husband.

The next morning I woke up with Shane's muscular arms around me. I turn to him to find him smiling in his sleep.

As I recall the events of last night. I blushed and the ring on my finger was enough of a confirmation that last night wasn't a dream. I try to get away when he gently scooped me back in his arms pulling me close to him."Five minutes more please."

"Fine." As he holds me in his arms I look at his face admiring him and then he says with his eyes closed.

"How can I sleep with you looking at me?" He groans yawning. My sweet to-be husband.

"I can't help." I giggle as he opens his eyes. I felt myself feeling short for breaths and took deep breaths.
"Sky..."

"I am fine," I told him but he didn't listen. It was quite normal nowadays yet every time he got worried. He rubbed my back until I was calmed down.

"Should I call the doctor?" He asks as I see the worried look on his face. How I wish things to be normal.

"I am fine. It is not the first time. It's normal." It had been frequent this week but I didn't tell him because he gets worried. I called the doctor and he said it's normal."What? Why did you not tell me?"

He asks angrily. I take the pillow behind me and hit it on his face.
He stares at me shocked by my actions."You didn't."

I laugh at him taking another pillow in my hand to defend because I called a war."Oh yes, I did."

"Then game on Skyler." He smirks picking up another pillow getting ready in his position while I sat right in front of him.

"Careful. You don't have a habit of losing." I smirked and he gives me a there is no way I am letting you win face.

"Oh yeah." With that, we start hitting each other with pillows. I could see he didn't hit me that bad afraid he would hurt me and I just tried taunting him that he was too weak and hit him hard.

Shane snatches the new pillow from me and pinned me down with him on top of me. I could feel the warmth radiating off his body. "If it makes you so happy I will lose every time."

"Excuses. You can't just admit you lost from me." I punched him and he then fell on the bed with us laying on the bed staring at the ceiling as he pulled me close to him."I am going to ignore that."

I giggle to see him acting."Come on. I didn't punch that hard." He turns to face me and I turn towards him and look at his smiling face.
"What are we doing today?"

"I am surprised you are asking. We have a wedding to plan Fiance."
He exclaimed. Yeah, a wedding. We were getting married for real. It still felt unreal.

"I don't have to worry about anything. Like always you have planned everything." I said and he kissed my cheek taking me in his arms."You know me well."
