Marcus was not about to back down now. He would not claim to have confidence in the future. But whatever would happen to them, he would be there to support Jacky.
"What if I am?" Suddenly all his nervousness was gone as he continued to look into her eyes. He wanted to be her support through all of this and throughout their lives.
Then, his goal became as clear as daylight, as if he had known it all along but was too afraid to confirm it. He wanted this girl to be his for a long time.
No, not just a long time.
He wished to be with her forever.
The world seemed to be just him and her as everyone else disappeared from his sight. His eyes could only see her face and hear her loud breathing and beating of her heart. But then again, those were probably his that he was listening to as he pulled her hands to his lips, planting a single kiss.
Thanks
