I woke up eager to tell Nate about my plan.
I went to work in a cheerful mood singing in a low melody to my favorite song. There was not much to do at the office. I only had to respond to a few e-mails, arrange and then sign the final papers of the new deal we have made.
I message Nate asking him to meet me by 7 pm at our secret place, his cabin which is 2 hours away from here in another town.
The day passed by very smooth with no nagging from my father. His hands have been too busy with his wedding planning. If it was for dad, he would've just thrown some money at a wedding planner to get the job done but for his new queen, Elise thinks its more special if they organize it together. Pure stupidity if you ask me.
After work I got into my jeep, blasting Khalid at a deafening volume. For the first time in a while, I feel this good and free. And I'm planning on keeping it so, starting now.
I parked my car in the same spot at the back of the cabin's garage and walked to the back entrance. Using the spare key Nate gave me I open the door.
To my surprise the floor was lit with candlelight, red flower petals scattered on the tiles formed like arrows guiding the way. I followed the arrows and end up in the guest room. Every picture we've ever taken is on the wall or printed on heart shaped balloons. I take in the scenario in awe and wonder.
Walking straight to the bed there was more flower petals and a big heart made of flowers, beneath the heart lies a question that stopped my heart from beating. Tears form at my eyes and my heart swells for the amount of love I treasure for this man and everything he has done.
From the corner of my eye,s I see a figure move from behind the door. Nathan walks to me and got on his knees with a little red box where there's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
"Marry me, Lana Xavier," he asked in a low shaky voice.
My name never sounded so good coming from anyone else. More tears fill my eyes. I started crying like an little idiot. I am at loss for words to say anything to him.
"yes, yes, yes."
"but only if we go away from here. Far away from our family. Only me and you. No one to tell us who we can and cannot love," I plea.
"if it means I get to spend the rest of my days by your side then ten thousand times yes," he slid the ring in my finger. He got up from his knee and kiss me with eager and passion lacing from his pink lips.
I put my arms around his neck and kiss him with as much yearn in mines. He slowly lifts me and bring me to the bed. He removes my dress without leaving my lips, he went down to my neck and then back to my lips but this time it was demanding as demanding as his manhood poking my belly, both my hands was buried in his curls. I take his shirt off and he proceeds to take his pants off. He's back to kissing me but this time it wasn't limited to my lips and neck his lips were pleasuring every inch of my body. He positions himself on top of me before he finally spread my legs as he slides his manhood in me, I cry out. He grasps my neck and started pounded into me, I moan in ecstasy. It went on until we were out of breath, he slides next to me and take me into his arms.
"when do we go?" he asked half asleep.
"tomorrow," I answered. "my dad's flying to France tomorrow. It's the perfect opportunity."
"to where? '
"Canada, we leave at 6 pm"
"Okay boss." He kisses my forehead and falls asleep.
I bury my head on his torso, taking in his scent until I fall asleep myself.
I woke up to an empty bed. I check my phone to see its almost time. I need to see dad before his flight otherwise he will go ballistic on me. Its times like this that I hate being the only child.
I took a quick shower and got dressed. I found a note on the fridge. Nate is out to get us breakfast, but I can't stay, I send him a text apologizing for bailing on him once again.
I got home dad just finished getting dress looking as dashing as ever. He takes me into a hug.
By the look of it, everything was in the car, Elise followed shortly after him. They got in the care I waved them goodbye and they drove away.
I made a few calls at the office and asked the vice president to take my place for a few days while my dad is away and if he has any question to check with my dad.
I spent the rest of the day getting ready for my grand escape. When the time came, I take one last look at the house where I was raised. I smiled and locked the door and drove away.
"Goodbye old life, welcome new one" I smiled.
When I got there Nate was already waiting for me, leaning on his car.
"ready to get the hell out of here,"
"whenever you are. I will follow you anywhere you take me."
We got in the car and drove away. Ready to start on our new journey.
For the first two hours, we sang our hearts out to Ed Sheeran. And we were perfectly out of key, but that only made it more fun. Then we stopped to eat and kept driving right after.
I don't remember when I fell asleep. I woke up saw him looking so focused on the road. Giving him a good nights kiss I went back to sleep.
Then suddenly I felt someone shaking me awake and I hit my head on the car.
"I love you." He mutters with teary eyes.
Then everything went black.
When I open my eyes again, I was in a strange place and Nate was right beside me.
"thank God, it's just a nightmare." I hug him tightly. "but where are we? When did we get there?"
He gave me a weak smile and cup my face. "We got into an accident, I was driving when I lost control of the car and we got hurt pretty bad." He explained caressing my face.
"you mean we're dead?" I asked him confused.
"no, not really."
"then what are we doing here?"
"I've read about this, but I never thought it was true until now." He answered looking all around the place.
"we're right in between death and life. Which means we got hurt pretty bad." He explained and take me into his arms.
"If what you're saying is true then why are you so calm?
"Because you're here with me." He kisses my forehead.
"Nate, why do I feel like I'm being sucked into another dimension." I start panicking unable to put what I'm feeling into words.
"Nate, what's happening to me," I asked again.
"that's your body waking up, it means you'll be back to consciousness anytime now." He turned his back to me but I can hear his voice broke as he said it.
"that's good, right?"
"Just promise me you will never forget about me". He answered with tears falling down his face.
"that's good, right? Unless. Wait. You feel it too right?" I asked panicking.
He shakes his head in response. "no, not a thing."
"Oh no this Is not happening," I burst into tears realizing what's happening.
"baby, it's okay," he wipes my tears away.
"no Nate, it's not okay this is all my fault. I dragged you into this mess. Please, God." I collapse to the ground.
"I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, baby. I should've never dragged you into this. If only I had listened to my dad, you would be at home perfectly fine." I sob.
"baby, listen this is nobody's fault okay? Those 2 years have been the best of my life and it's all because of you. Love guided us here and I don't regret any second of it, I don't want you to either because it was epic. So what if we didn't get the cliché happy ending?"
He kisses me and the feeling got stronger.
"please let me stay with you, "I begged
"How can you ask me such thing baby. I can't do that to you and your family. Go out there and be the woman I know you were meant to be.
know that I'm at peace," he kisses me deeply one last time.
"it was pleasure loving you Lana Xavier." and he disappeared.
I open my eyes and look around I am attached to a machine with a bandage around my head.
I close my eyes feeling the tears strolling down my face.
"the pleasure was all mine, Nathaniel Lawson."
