Chapter 16

Chapter 16

It had been a week since Jamie's funeral but nothing had seemed change. Yes, Amy cried less and smiled more but I could tell she was still fighting to hide her true feelings. I didn't want her to hide to from me; I wanted her to be able to tell me everything and anything. I needed her to be able to trust me completely as I would be there for her always. Even if she decided that I wasn't enough for her anymore I would still always only be a call away. I loved her and I knew that was never going to change.

I smiled when Amy opened the door to her familiar apartment. When I came over I felt like I was returning home, because this apartment was my home now. I was home when I was with Amy; with her was where I was meant to be. I couldn't help but notice how her smile was a little wider today and her eyes were a little brighter. She looked happier and that made my heart soar. Seeing her happy truly made me happy, as cheesy as that may sound. I guess I was just a cheesy guy when I was around Amy.

"I've got a surprise for you," she grinned happily as she grabbed the collar of my jacket and pulled me across the threshold, her eyes never leaving mine. My eyebrows pulled together into a frown as I responded,

"What?" Why would she possibly have a surprise for me? My mind searched through all the possibilities of what it could be.

"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise tough guy," she chuckled as her hand found mind and she dragged me into the kitchen.

I don't know what I was expecting but a confused expression spread across my face when she handed me an envelope her eyes gleaming with excitement. She jigged up and down slightly as she waited for me to open the letter. I continued to frown at her as I examined the paper in my hands.

"Open it!" She encouraged as she nudged me. I hadn't seen her so excited since Jamie's death and I couldn't help but smile at the eager expression on her face.

"I love you, you know that right?" I chuckled at how cute she was being in this moment. How had I been so lucky to meet someone as truly amazing as Amy?  Despite everything she still managed to make me smile.

"Just open it already!" She cried flinging her hands up into the air, however, I could see the amusement clear in her eyes.

"Ok," I laughed as I tore the envelope open as excitement started to flow through my body. I captured my bottom lip between my teeth as pulled out the sheet of paper which had been inside. I frowned slightly as I read the information on the sheet. It was a plane ticket to France for this weekend. "Amy?" I asked, confused by the paper in my hand.

"I bought two tickets," she said obviously thinking she was clearing everything up, however, I was still completely confused. My eyebrows pulled closer together as I continued to stare at her blankly. "For us," she continued looking at me like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Suddenly it clicked and a smile pulled across my face. "You bought two tickets for us to go to France next weekend?" I asked wanting clarification.

"Wow for such a tough guy you really are slow," Amy giggled as she stepped closer to me.

"I just..." I started but was completely lost for words. I couldn't believe she had bought us tickets to France. I couldn't believe we were going on holiday together. However, most of all I can't seem to comprehend how thoughtful she was. I knew we had talked about travelling together, but I never expected to surprise me like this. "You are amazing," I finished, unsure of what else I could say as a simple thank you didn't seem fitting.

"I know," she smiled smugly.

"And big headed," I added laughing as my arms snaked around her waist and swung her over my shoulder causing her to squeal loudly. I continued to laugh as she began to smack my back while screaming for me to her put her down.
