CHAPTER EIGHT

Stella

Waking up this morning feels like I’m still in a dream. The sun streaming in through the window, warm and inviting just like Jaxson’s sleeping body. I snuggle in close to him. Waking up next to him makes this the best morning of my life.

But my mind still has doubts. Last night, after we made love, I spent a long time awake, planning out our future together. I closed my eyes and thought about the years ahead of us; raising children together, growing old in one another’s arms, overcoming obstacles hand in hand. It’s the life I always knew I wanted, but I was never sure who I’d plan this future with. Now, I know, I want it to be Jaxson.

I know it’s a stupid thing to do, getting my hopes up like this. Even though he told me he loves me, what does that mean for us? Nothing has changed regarding my dad, and he will never allow this to happen. Plus, Jaxson has a life of his own back home. He’s got a business to run. He doesn’t need some young student getting in his way, right?

I know in my own mind that I’ll do anything to keep him. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. But my relationship with my dad is important to me too. What will he think when he finds out I’m pregnant with Jaxson’s baby, if my gut feeling is right? What will he think if Jaxson decides to go his separate way from me? I feel a stab of pain at the thought. Would Jaxson ever abandon me like that?

“What’s on your mind, baby?”

I’m startled to see Jaxson awake, watching me. He pulls me closer, protectively, and I sigh.

“I’m just...I’m thinking about the future...what it holds for us?”

He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear gently. “Well, what do you want it to hold?”

I take a deep breath. “Well...more of...this.”

“Expensive holidays in Thailand?”

I laugh. “No...well, maybe. But I just mean...more of you and me. Lying next to each other like it’s the most natural thing in the world. Because to me...it is. I was scared about losing my virginity...but with you, I’ve never felt so safe. And now that I know you love me. I guess I just want to know what that means for us. Because I don’t want to let this go. I don’t want to let you go. I want to have a future with you, not just what we have right now.”

Jaxson caresses my cheek. “Stella, you’re the brightest star in my life. You’re everything I want,” he growls. “Anything you want, you name it, and I’ll give it to you. I’m in this for the long haul. You don’t need to be afraid. I know it’s going to be hard, especially because of your dad. But we’ll figure something out. I don’t ever want you to think that I'll back off just because things might get tough. You’re mine.”

I close my eyes. “I never believed that anyway.
