“It’s hard for me to say the words, Lucky, I’m not used to these feelings and I’m not used to wanting more from a relationship. But yes, I know what I’m saying. I want to be that person for you.”
“You want to be my last boyfriend?” I laughed, deliriously happy. “I don’t think I know what to say.”
“Say yes.” He laughed. “Say yes, and let me take you upstairs so I can rip off your clothes and do to you what I’ve been wanting to do for the last 24 hours.”
“Zane!” I giggled. “You’re too much.”
“We have to remember a condom tonight though.” He wiggled his eyebrows. “I take it you’re not on the pill, right?”
“Yeah, I’m not on it.”
“That’s what I thought.” He grabbed my hands. “You know there’s a possibility that you’re pregnant, right?”
“What?” I frowned. “How?”
“The bathroom.”
“Oh.” I flushed at the memory. Protection had been the last thing on my mind. “Oh my. I didn’t even think about it.”
“I want you to know that I’m here for you, Lucky. Whatever happens. I want you to know that I’m in this with you all the way.”
“Oh Zane. I love you.” I couldn’t hold it in any more. “I really really love you. I know it’s not politically correct for me to say it before you and I know we haven’t known each other for that long, but I love you so much, Zane. I don’t want to live without you. I don’t want to be without you.”
Zane’s eyes glazed with unshed tears, and he brought me towards him and kissed me so tenderly that I thought that I was going to cry. “I love you too, Lucky. I love you so much that words cannot adequately describe all the feelings in my heart. My heart is so full that it feels like it is about to break.”
“Oh Zane.” My breath caught and I felt like my heart was going to burst with happiness. This moment didn’t feel like it was real. I couldn’t believe that I was hearing the words that I had waited my whole life for.
“Give me your hand, Lucky. I want you to feel my heart. This feeling, this heart beat that you feel beneath your fingers. It’s because of you. It’s for you. Everything that I am and everything that I want to be, from this moment on is because of you.” Zane’s voice broke and he shook his head as if he was as amazed as I was, to hear the words coming out of his mouth. “I don’t care what happens any more. I’m not scared of what’s going to happen. I don’t fear us falling out of love. None of that is as important as what we feel in the here and the now. And right now, I want you to know that you are everything to me. My heart is your heart to do with what you will. All I ask is that you hold it carefully.”
“I will my love, I will.” I caressed his face. “I will hold your heart as delicately as I’ve held my own.”
“This is it, isn’t it Lucky?” His voice was in awe. “We’re the real deal.”
“I think I’ve finally found my last boyfriend.” I laughed and as we melted into each other with a kiss, I knew in my heart that he was my one and only. Without him, there would be no me. I wanted to stop time so that we could be in this moment of love and wonder forever.
