That was what it showed.
My love for him and his love for me.
That was all.
So, yeah, it was perfect.
And maybe I needed to see it from an outside point of view as much as he did.
After a long moment of simply staring down at the picture, he started tapping at things on the screen. I tried not to watch too closely. I didn’t want to make him any more nervous than he already was.
“Done,” he yelled sounding a little panicked.
Jen took the phone back and of course, his focus was on it instantly.
“That’s so fucking cute. Awww. I love it.” Jen looked all mushy with his eyes fluttering and his hand going to his heart. I didn’t like it. Fucking weird.“Love this guy. So happy he was able to fly out for the premiere tomorrow. #taken #comingout #gay #bodyguardlove.”
Jesus. There went my heart. That caption was… yeah, alright, I was lost to Nick.
His eyes met mine and I didn’t even have to say anything for him to understand. I needed to get him alone, right the fuck now.
“I really wanted to cook you dinner,” he whispered but the twinkle in his eyes said he had needs for me to take care of as soon as fucking possible.
“We’ll have a lifetime of cooking dinner,” I told him.
“Get these two home,” Jen yelled as he cracked the partition, and well, that was that. “Clive, you’re off tonight. Want to go out with me?”
“Bodyguard,” Nick answered my questioning raised brow.
There was no answer from the man sitting in the front passenger seat, but I did notice how his head turned slightly in Jen’s direction.
“I love you too,” I whispered into his ear before I pulled him into my side.
Life was about to get crazy.
Something I wanted to be ready for but wasn’t sure that I really was.
But that was okay.
Because I had Nick and that was all I wanted.
I had been wrong. My heart wasn’t charred to the point of being ruined. It had been through hell and burned badly. But there had been a tiny part left behind. And all I could say was that part had begun to heal and grow. Now it was bursting with life and happy beats.
I was going to live.
I was going to love.
And I was never going to let Nick question how I felt.
Because I’d make sure that he knew it every single fucking day.
