Love on time

09

'I'm still really nervous.'
'I was too, but don't hide your face.'
'Why not?' She peeks through her fingers.
'You are beautiful and I love you.' I take her hands and pull them down.
A sad smile breaks through her embarrassed expression.
'Believe me.'
She nods. 'But how can you love me when you've only known me for like-,' she stops and takes a look at her wrist. 'Oh. I can't see that. I think I was used to looking at my wrist.'
'It doesn't matter. I have loved you from the moment that we met.' I take both of her hands in mine and pull her a little bit closer.
She rests her head against my shoulder and I burry my face in her lovely smelling hair. I can feel her shaking. I believe she cries, at least she feels like crying. 'Thank you,' she mutters.
'For what?' I ask while frowning. Carefully, I force her to look at me.
'For loving me.'
'No problem.' With a smile, I pull her in a tight hug.
