SEQUEL TO THE FIGHT FOR LOVE ❤︎
It's been 6 long years since she left and Anastasia is finally going back to the place she once called home, but she is not alone.
6 years ago, Ryder believed a lie, causing the love of his life to leave without a tr...
"Did you want Ariella to be your daughter?" She asked and I looked away for a second while I answered.
"No."
"It's okay if you did.." She said sadly.
"I didn't, all I want is you.. And our future family." I said grabbing her hand and smiling.
"I can't wait to have little Ryder Jr's running around." She said smiling as she looked over at the living room.
"And don't forget the little Taylor Jr's." I said, but when I said that all I could think about was Ariella.
"Ryder!" Taylor said snapping her fingers in front of me.
"What'd you say? I'm sorry, I zoned out." I said.
"I just asked if you think Anastasia lied to you?"
"I don't think so.. She was never great at lying." I say.
"But think about it. Ariella is five years old, she has your hair and your eyes. She looks just like you.." She said and I shook my head.
"But she's Tyler's daughter, not mine." I said.
"C'mon Ryder, didn't you see him? He looks nothing like her.."
"Ana wouldn't have lied to me about this.." I say trying to convince myself.
"Do you think you could answer this question truthfully?" She asked and I nodded.
"Of course."
"If Ariella was your daughter would you leave me?" She asked.
I took a deep breath "No.."
"Oh my god! You hesitated!"
"No I didn't!" I said.
"Yea you did! I bet you still love her! Don't you? Your still in love with Anastasia! Even after everything we've been through?!" She yelled on the brim of tears.
"No! Listen to me." I said grabbing her face in my hands.
"I love you and only you. My future is here with you.. Nothing's going to change that." I said looking into her eyes.
"O-okay.."
"I love you Taylor." I said as I laid my forehead against hers.
"I love you too babe." She said smiling.
"So, my fiancé. What do you want to do today?" I asked.
"Let's go to the ice cream shop." She said smiling.
"You can't get enough can you?" I asked shaking my head with a grin.
"Nope." She said grabbing her purse.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Ready." She said and laced her fingers with mine as we walked out to our car.
We both got into our sides and right when the car started, Taylor put on some music that reminded me of Ana..
I will never forget you
You'll always be by my side
From the day that I met you
I knew that I would love you 'til the day I die
And I will never want much more
And in my heart I will always be sure
I will never forget you
And you will always be by my side 'til the day I die
'Til the day I die ('til the day I die) 'Til the day I die ('til the day I die)
Funny how we both end up here but everything seems alright
I wonder what would happen
If we went back and put up a fight
'Cause once upon a time you were my everything
It's clear to see that time hasn't changed a thing
So what in this world do you think could ever take you off my mind (take you off my mind)
I changed the music station. "Hey! I love that song." Exclaimed Taylor.
"Sorry babe, I wasn't a big fan of it." I said as she pouted.
"If I buy you two scoops of ice cream, will that make up for it?" I ask and she smiles wide.
"Yea!" She says happily.
"I swear your like a little kid sometimes." I said chuckling.
"I know." She said giggling as I parked the car.
"Let's go." I said as we both got out of the car and walked to the ice cream shop.
"What flavor do you want?" I asked putting my arm around Taylor.
"Mint chocolate chip today." She said smiling but then it turned into a frown.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Oh, nothing. Let's both get that." I said because I can't tell her that it's Anastasia's favorite flavor. I shouldn't still remember that after six years.
It was our turn to order. "Hi what can I get you?" Asked the lady behind the counter.
"Can we get two double scooped mint chocolate chip ice creams please." I said and she nodded.
"That will be $8.67." She said and I handed her a ten.
"Keep the change." I said smiling.
"Thank you, your ice cream will be ready in a moment." She said as we walked to the side to wait.
"What are we doing tonight?" Asked Taylor.
"I have a special dinner planned, for our special day." I said smiling.
"Special day?" She asked.
"Did you forget what today is?" I asked.
"I may or may not have." She said smiling sheepishly.
"It's the anniversary of the day we met." I said pecking her lips.
"I can't believe I forgot." She said as they called for us to grab the ice cream.
As we were about to go get it, my phone rang. "I'll go grab the ice cream, while you answer that call." She said kissing me before she walked up to the counter.
