Unbreak The Broken

Chapter Sixteen: Dreams for the Future

~ Theo's POV ~

As another movie ended, we just laid there together. I had my arm around her as she played with my hand.

"Theo?"

"Yes Bec?"

"Do you ever think about the future?" she asked softly.

"I didn't use to think that far into the future, but now that I've found you, I think about it all the time."

"When you picture your future, what do you see?"

I thought about this for a moment.

"I see us, living here, and happy."

"I see that too."

She went quiet and continued playing with my hand.

"What's on that beautiful mind of yours?" I asked.

She shook her head and said nothing.

"Hey, look at me."

She tilted her head up to look at me.

"You can talk to me about anything. What are you thinking?"

She looked back at our hands and nodded. Her way of telling me she'll tell me but she needed a minute.

"You asked if I would keep you forever."

"I did."

I looked at her confused, my mind trying to catch up with hers.

She buried her face against me.

"Silly girl, what is going on?"

She opened her mouth and all that came out was the cutest squeak.

Then my brain finally caught up.

"Bec, I would love to marry you someday. If being with me forever is truly what you want, because I never want to be without you again."

She looked back up to me and smiled.

"I love you, silly girl."

"I love you too, My Theo."

"Forever Yours."

My mind started wondering and like an idiot I spoke my thoughts out loud.

"Why do you want to be with me? You could have anyone in this world and yet you choose to love me."

She let go of my hand, she sat up and turned to face me.

She looked at me shaking her head.

"I really wish, just for once, I could let you see yourself through my eyes."

I sat up and took her hand in mine.

"I will spend the rest of forever reminding you of how amazing you are. I'm not now nor will I ever be everyone else. I see you for who you really are."

She placed her hand over my heart.

"You have paid for your mistakes enough; you aren't that person anymore. Even back then I saw the real you."

I kissed her softly.

"You say we're a lot alike, right?"

"We are, you know we are."

"I do know this, but I want you to think about that for a moment. You love me, right?"

"Of course, I do."

"I am worthy of love?"

"More than anyone in this world."

"You see the good in me?"
