“Fine, let me rephrase.” I squeezed his hand back. “I can’t keep it together around my gorgeous, amazing boyfriend.”

Gray’s POV:

I hugged her tighter, resting my head on her shoulder.

“And you think I can keep it together around you?” I whispered. “You drive me crazy. It’s like I’m riding a roller coaster. It’s insane.”

The sound of his voice, volume dipping, sent shivers down my spine.

“You don’t show it as easily as I do..”

Gray’s POV:

I chuckled.

“Do you feel that, Vy?” I asked her in a low voice. “My heart. It beats so fast when you’re around, like it’s been frozen and only functions when you’re with me. The only reason I can keep it together is because I’ve been in love you for so long. You have no idea what you do to me. Sometimes I feel like I’ll go crazy because of you.”

I opened my mouth to respond, and shut it soon after. He had rendered me speechless once again, so I merely squeezed his hand and lifted it to the spot around my own heart, which was thundering by now.

Gray’s POV:

I felt her heart beat fast and felt pleased. It was only fair that it was, after all. I wasn’t the only one feeling like this.

“I love you,” I said to her strongly. “So, so much. I can’t ever imagine a time where I don’t love you. No matter what happens, I’ll always love you. Nothing will change that.”

“You have no idea,” I whispered, “How happy that makes me feel. Just knowing that you’re here, and that you care that much… I hope you know that I feel the same way.”

Gray’s POV:

“I’m glad you feel the same way…” I held on to her tighter. “It hurt when you hated me. I always wanted to put a smile on your face, but you never smiled around me. Now that I can do it… it makes me feel like I can do anything.”

“I never hated you,” I promised, “I just… I was trying to protect myself, I guess. I’m sorry..”

Gray’s POV:

“No,” I kept up my hold on her. “Do not apologize. I know why you did it. I don’t blame you. I have you now, and you have me, so nothing else matters to me anymore.”

The song changed, now Atlas, by Poesy, and I smiled widely. “I love you.,”

Gray’s POV:

I tilted her head so I could lean in to press my lips against hers.

“I love you, too,” I whispered. “Every day, minute, second… I’ll always love you.”

Sterling's POV:

"Of course, Eden. You don't have to ask to speak," I said, pulling back to give her a curious look. "What is it?"

Eden’s POV:

I shifted my eyes away from him, cheeks getting hotter.

“You… looked really cool today,” I mumbled. “With Estella. You looked like father. It was nice.”

(Isn’t it still the same day? Lol.)

Sterling’s POV:

I blinked a couple of times before clearing my throat, a light pink making its way to my cheeks. She thought I was good enough with kids that I looked like a father? That… That was completely unexpected.

“Well… I’m glad you thought so,” I murmured gently. “It would be nice to be a father one day…”

Gray’s POV:

I tilted her head so I could lean in to press my lips against hers.

“I love you, too,” I whispered. “Every day, minute, second… I’ll always love you.”

“I’m so glad….” I murmured into his lips. “That I have someone who loves me like that.”

Eden’s POV:

He was blushing. My teasing boyfriend, who hardly ever got embarrassed, was blushing. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

“Um… you will be,” I said quietly, darting my eyes towards anywhere but him. “One day. When everything’s settled.”

Gray’s POV:

I tilted her head so I could lean in to press my lips against hers.

“I love you, too,” I whispered. “Every day, minute, second… I’ll always love you.”

“I’m so glad….” I murmured into his lips. “That I have someone who loves me like that.”

Gray’s POV:

I smiled against her lips before I pulled away and nuzzled her neck.

“Tired?”

Eden’s POV:

He was blushing. My teasing boyfriend, who hardly ever got embarrassed, was blushing. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

“Um… you will be,” I said quietly, darting my eyes towards anywhere but him. “One day. When everything’s settled.”

Sterling’s POV:

“Cool… I— Yeah. And one day, you will be an amazing mother,” I said softly, trying to beat down the blush from my face. I pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead and hugged her close. “Someday, you’ll be an amazing wife…”

Eden’s POV:

I was about to say something in reply, but a yawn escaped my lips. I covered my mouth, resting my head against Sterling’s chest.

He thought I’d make an amazing mother, as well as a wife. That comment made me very happy.

Sterling’s POV:

I smiled softly and kissed the top of her head. She must be exhausted… And it was getting pretty late, anyway.

“Let’s get to bed. It’s getting late,” I murmured softly.

Eden’s POV:

I nodded, continuing to lean against him.

“You aren’t hungry?” I questioned. “You didn’t eat anything…”

Sterling’s POV:

“I’ll eat after I know you’re asleep,” I assured her, picking her up bridal-style and carrying her to our bedroom. “For now, I’m okay.”

Eden’s POV:

I immediately threw my arms around Sterling’s neck, cheeks turning redder as he carried me to our bed.

“You can eat right now…” I mumbled. “I might not sleep right away. I don’t want you to stay hungry.”
