Chapter 16

Justin

Something wakes me in the middle of the night. My heart races and beats wildly in my chest, and it takes a moment for me to catch my breath.

Then I glance down at the beautiful woman cradled by my side.

For as little time as I’ve known her, she’s become more than everything to me. When I’m with her, she makes me want to be a better man. We laugh together and listen to one another. I’ve let her in further than I’ve let anyone in a while. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her. My life’s starting to feel whole again.

My heart isn’t surrounded by walls of concrete. It’s crumbled because of Mallory and her warmth. The thought of her possibly leaving to go back to Chicago plays in the back of my mind. The summer months are coming to an end, so I need to make her see being here with me would be the best decision to make. I’m not going to lose her. Every day, she’s going to know how much she means to me and how only she has my heart.

How can I be falling in love so quickly?

When she stirs in my arms, a breath of relief slips from her lips, and she entwines her fingers with mine. I watch her do this. I watch her settle back into a deep sleep and look content. She feels perfect in my arms and by my side. I don’t know how I managed to live this long without knowing what perfection feels like.

With Angie, it was a high school love, and I thought she was the one. She was the first girl I was with, but when she left me without looking back, I fell apart. I vowed to never allow another woman to hurt me the way Angie did. It was better to be alone than be with a woman and chance another broken heart.

Then Mallory comes into town and proves love can happen again.

This kind of love is different.

With Angie, I didn’t feel complete. Looking back, I didn’t feel the way I do now for her. Mallory’s changing the game for me. She’s opening my eyes, and I need to hold on tight.

“Justin?”

“Yeah, baby.”

She stirs a bit more and slowly opens her eyes. “Is it okay if I’m falling in love with you?”

I don’t hesitate. “Yes. It’s okay. I’m falling in love with you too.”

“That’s all I want to hear. Can you hold me tighter and fall asleep with me?”

“Of course.”

I do as she says and hold her close to my chest. When I hear her steady breathing again, I kiss the top of her head, and whisper, “I’ll always be here for you, Mallory. Always.”

While she’s in the room sleeping, I get breakfast ready and put the pancakes on the plate to place on the tray I want to bring to the room to her. A little version of bed and breakfast by yours truly.

There’s a knock on the door, and I think about ignoring it.
