A little graduation gift I picked out for you from Europe. Nathan grinned, handing me the small box.
My heart swelled as I took it, looking up at him with a large smile.
Wow do you look beautiful in that dress. Nathan breathed out before I could thank him.
I bit my lip, stepping up to him and kissing his cheek. Thank you.
Open it. Nathan urged, smiling gently at me.
I lifted the lid and gasped as I saw what was inside. Carefully lifting the small cushion, I pulled it out to bring the delicate bracelet closer. I gently held the silver band encased with intricate diamonds around it and saw engraved writing on the inside of it.
‘For my brilliantly badass princess. Impossible doesn’t apply to you.’
I gasped at the beauty of it, the words written inside making my heart melt. Wow, this is beautiful Nathan. I love it. I spoke, tears rising up to my eyes as I tried to settle down my emotions.
Let me put it on you. Nathan said softly, taking it gently from my hands.
I watched in admiration as he closed the bracelet around my wrist, the diamonds on it making it sparkle in the dark night.
Nathan, you must have spent- I started to say but he cut me off.
Sh. I don’t want to hear that. Money is not an issue for us princess. Don’t worry. And you deserve all the diamonds in the world. Nathan gave me a charming smile.
You’re incredible. I breathed out, looking down at the beautiful bracelet on my wrist and adoring it.
I know, you can tell me all about it on the way there. Nathan winked at me, causing me to roll my eyes. Don’t wanna miss our flight. He said, shutting the trunk and locking his car, before grabbing both suitcases and dragging them behind him.
I quickly took mine from him before he could protest and stuck my tongue out. My arms work perfectly fine. I reminded. Plus, then we can do this. I added, before taking his free hand in mine.
He grinned down at me, kissing the crown of my head.
Then we made our way into the airport, me not being able to drop the smile from my face of true happiness and love. He really had surprised me today. Kidnapping me from my school dance and bringing me to the airport to board a plane with an unknown destination was pretty intense and wild, but I embraced it all happily.
The hurt and pain I had felt these past three months didn’t matter as I felt those emotions all diminish the second he had grabbed me. What mattered was that he was here now, and he was here to stay. I knew this man’s heart, and I knew his intentions were pure and genuine. I would follow him to the edge of the earth if I had to, and I knew he felt the same when he turned back to shoot me an intense look with those mesmerizing green eyes that made my heart skip.
I love you Skylar. He spoke, his eyes electric and vibrant in the dark night.
I love you too Nathan. I said back without hesitation, meaning every syllable.
He then pulled me closer to him as we entered the airport, kissing my cheek.
I was finally happy. Not that I wasn’t before with my friends. But now I felt one hundred percent happy. I had no more concerns, no worrying thoughts, nothing could dampen my mood. I finally felt complete after these three, painfully long months and I had a feeling Nathan felt the same, because he couldn’t keep his eyes off of me and almost crashed into an old couple at one point.
I couldn’t wait to get away with this boy.
They were out of strawberry smoothies, so I got you blueberry blast.
I looked up just as Nathan reached me with two cups in his hand. One was a cup of hot, steaming coffee, and the other was a tall Styrofoam cup with a straw poking out.
I pouted and took my drink from him as he sat down next to me. We were currently waiting for our flight to god knows where at our gate, and had an hour to kill. Nathan had made me stay and watch our stuff while he went to get us some drinks.
He had made sure that I was sitting facing away from the screen that displayed the flight’s time and destination. He would also make sure to cover my ears every time they announced something on the intercom for our gate. It was cute how desperate he was to keep this a surprise.
I was also not allowed to change out of my dress and into regular clothes. My sweet boyfriend said I looked too gorgeous, and that I didn’t have to worry about ruining the dress on the flight as he would buy me twenty-seven more dresses, his reference to one of my favorite movies causing me to shut up and comply to his smooth self. I had missed this boy too damn much to care.
Thanks. I said anyways, before taking a sip. My eyes widened in surprise as I tasted the familiar and delicious taste of freshly blended strawberries.
I thought you said- I started in confusion.
I know, I just wanted to see your reaction. You looked like you were about to cry. Nathan explained, holding back snickers but failing miserably.
I glared at him, before sipping my smoothie with a scowl.
This unfortunately caused him to laugh even harder as I silently fumed.
I can’t believe I let you kidnap me again. I pouted, crossing my arms and looking away.
Aw come on. You know you love me. Nathan said, his laughter dying down finally.
I’m not so sure about that anymore. I grumbled under my breath, but he still caught that.
I snuck a glance to see him looking at me now, debating on what to say next. A plot started to form in my head and I had to contain the devious smirk creeping onto my face.
I mean you did leave for three months. I shrugged. A lot can happen in three months. I added seriously, looking up at him again.
I almost dropped the act when I saw his wounded puppy expression as he looked at me.
Sky, I told you I’d explain myself. I had my reasons. He spoke in a detached tone.
