“Might I suggest you do more things you enjoy?” She smiled. After telling her I’d see her next week, I walked out to Deklan waiting, reading some girly magazine.
“Nice reading choice.” I hid a giggle.
“They need better shit to read,” he grumbled. He always waited for me. I told him he didn’t have to and, at first, I felt incredibly guilty about it, but sometimes after a tough session, I found that I wanted him there simply to hold me and ask how it went, which he does every time.
“Well,” I said as we walked out to the car. “She suggested I do more of the things I enjoy.”
“Bet. So tell me something you enjoy, and I got you,” he said as he slid behind the wheel and started the car.
I whispered in his ear the thing that I really, really enjoyed doing, and I was very detailed.
“Yeah?” he asked, pulling back. His eyes flashed that gunmetal color that told me he was aroused. I blushed and breathed out a yes, but didn’t turn away, because I knew between needing and wanting now, and I wanted him. I’d always want him.
“Word. Hang tight.” He smirked, and I barely made it into my seatbelt before he broke the sound barrier to get us home.
“I love you,” I told him as I laced our fingers together, looking at how well they fit.
“Love you too, babe,” he said smoothly, and just like always, my insides did a little jump at hearing him say that.
He’s got me and I’ve got him and together, we fit.

I know what some people think about me; I’m perfect. I have the perfect family, perfect girlfriend, and perfect life. They all think what my father thinks: I’m the good boy, the golden child compared to my fuck up of an older brother who didn't even come to his own mother's funeral. I was the dutiful son who represented the Kane boys and the total opposite of my brother. My brother who had secrets that blew my world apart. Some people think I’m a dick. Especially after getting a little glimpse of me from Deklan’s story, it’s got people assuming shit, calling me names because of Ember. Fine, I’m a dick, but no one knows me, the real me but it’s high fucking time they did.

I believe that no matter what a person goes through in life, there is some form of a happy ending for them and please, keep going until you find it.
