Avery’s pov
Xade’s eyes widen in surprise and then he throws his head back and lets out a laugh that makes my insides warm. “You little vixen,” he teased, eyes narrowing on my face when he sobered up, a grin dancing on his mouth.
“You knew all along and decided to torture me,” his accusing tone was playful, making me grin at him all flustered.
“Did you think you were the only one in love with the other?” I smile, offering him the perfectly roasted marshmallow. He pulls it off the stick and tells me to open my mouth for a bite.
I do, biting into the gooey treat and sucking in a breath when Xade leaned forward to bite the other half, our lips brushing. He hums, and I moan at the feeling of his breath against my lips. He kisses me, softly and slowly, the taste of him and the marshmallow a burst of flavor on my tongue.
So sweet and delicious.
“God I love you,” He breathe on my lips when he pulls away, staring at me with a glint of the love he shows me. I smile, my heart beating for him.
Do you remember that song you were obsessed with?” he suddenly ask, making my brows furrow as I try to rake through my brain for that song he was referring to. When it comes into mind, I flush, remembering the many times I forced him to play it and sing it along with me.
Now the words of the song couldn’t feel more than what I would describe as our relationship. It was like it was meant for us.
I nod. “In case you didn’t know by Brett Young,”
His eyes twinkled and he pulls out his phone from his pocket and swaps his thumb over the surface. I groaned when the song starts to blare through the phone. Xade chuckles, resting the phone on the blanket and rising to his feet.
He outstretchs his hand and I look up at him. ” What are you doing?” I ask, my stomach fluttering with little wild butterflies. ” Asking my girl for a dance,” his eyes twinkle with happiness and mischief.
My pulse races and I place my hand in his. He grips me firmly, his heat making my palms tingle as he gently pulls me to my feet. The music thrums in the air, and I gasp when he pulls me flush against him.
“In case you didn’t know,” his eyes brighten as he sings to me, making me giggle. “Baby I’m crazy ’bout you.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
I felt a shiver run down my spine. Even though these were the lyrics of the song, somehow it felt as if he were saying those words with all the meaning from his soul. And as he stares at me deeply I am even more convinced.
His arm wrap around my waist, his hand on my spine setting me on fire. I set my hands around his neck and let him sway me to the music as he continues.” And I would be lying if I said,” he rest his forehead against mine, our breaths mingling into one.
“Even though, I don’t tell you all the time,” he whispers, holding me tighter, letting me feel the beat of his heart against me. My eyes soften on his face, watching all the emotions play in his eyes.
You had my heart a long, long time ago,” he rubs the tip of his nose against mine, making my heart flutter. I joined him in singing and he smiles warmly, his eyes lighting with adoration.
“You’ve got all of me,” he turns me around and I giggle, my laughter blending with the music and Xade’s voice. “I belong to you,” he says truthfully, turning me back around to face him. As our eyes connect, something passes between us. Call it magic, but it was something so out of this world, we both felt it.
“Yeah, you’re my everything,” He whisper, pulling back and surprise me when he got on one knee. ” And I want all of you,”
I gasp, my heart pounding in my chest as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velvet box. The world around us, even the forest seems to pause and watch us, holding their own breath.
