Hey guys! If you haven't read 'Too much of a good thing (Part 1)'  yet, then go back one chapter!

I can't guarentee the next time I will update because Uni starts again tomorrow, but hopefully I'll settle in quickly and be able to write the next part quickly!

**************************************

I couldn't sleep last night, worrying about so many things and thinking about what life would be like at this point in time if I'd done things differently.

But when I finally drifted off to sleep, I had a dream that I would give anything to have come true.

I dreamed that somehow I ran all the way to Ryan’s house in the pouring rain. It was overcast and dark as dusk approached. My clothes were soaked through and the howling wind blew straight through me, biting cold and stinging like needles on my face as my muscles ached and burned. But I couldn’t stop; I was running towards his house, towards him as if my life depended on it.

Evening had just fallen when I finally reached the front gates. Shakily I raised my hand and pressed the intercom.

“Yes?” Came his beautiful, melodic voice through the speaker.
“It’s me.” I said breathlessly as I hugged my arms around myself, partly because I was freezing and partly in an attempt to still my racing heart.
He didn’t reply, or even question just who ‘me’ was, but the gates buzzed low as the opened to let me in.

The walk up the driveway to the front door was torturous. With my head down I finally reached the shelter of the porch, but before I could work up the courage to knock, the door unlatched and opened, sending me into cardiac arrest.

He stood there silently, his face expressionless, gently leaning against the door frame as he waited for me to recover from the shock of his sudden appearance.
We stood there for what felt like centuries, the silence filled by the sound of raindrops echoing as they hit the ground.

And then I looked up into his stormy blue eyes and said the 3 little words I’d never managed to get out before.

“I love you.”

Less than a second after the last syllable left my lips, Ryan lunged forward and drew me tightly into his embrace and I let out a sob of immense relief.
The warmth from his body and the heat that flushed my cheeks and pulsed down my spine thawed out my cold bones and frozen heart.

I didn’t deserve his forgiveness nor his acceptance, but I yearned for it badly and I swore to cherish this moment.
“Ryan I’m drenched,” I told him quietly, releasing him slightly from the grasping hold of my dripping wet arms.
“I don’t care.” He mumbled gruffly into my neck as his strong arms tightened around me and locked me securely in place; as if he would never let me go.

It wasn’t long before my cold lips sought out the warmth his had to offer, and his mouth met mine in a fiery kiss. He was like the sun, and I was burning alive in his embrace.

He lifted me up with ease and brought me into his room, his lips never leaving mine.
My shirt came off, as did my pants and I sat impatiently on his bed. But even in my dreams, Ryan was so typically, perfectly and irresistibly him, as he threw a warm, soft towel over my head to dry my hair before tugging one his t-shirts over my body, filling my lungs with his heavenly scent.

His eyes sparkled as he laughed so huskily and sexily at my obvious disappointment.
Nevertheless, my heart skipped several beats when he scooped me up in his arms and drew the covers over us, gathering me against his chest as he laced our fingers together and pressed a tender kiss to the back of my hand, just below my knuckle.

But I awoke stone cold in my own bed, my hand resting in front of me in the empty space where he should have been lying next to me.
It had felt so right, every detail was so vivid and I desperately wanted it to be real.

‘You can make it real if you just grow a pair and tell him how you feel ‘A tough, no-nonsense little voice in my head told me.

Clutching the sheets where my hand still lay, I spoke aloud confidently.

“Today is the day that I tell Ryan I love him.”
