"I know, Dad I’ not to push it, but…"
Just then, Heather glanced back over at
I looked at my dad "Dad, did I love her thiswhat I felt before? Or is this all new? I feel like I can’t breathe without her near me Can you really fall in love with someone so damn fast?"
My dad cleared his throat and smiled at me "Josh, when you ca on asking Heather to irl like she’s our own, but you also love her with your whole heart When I asked you if you were one hundred percent sure about asking her, you looked me dead in the eyes and smiled Then, you said to us, ‘I know that I don’t want to live a single day in this life without her in it I want to wake up every o to sleep to that sarow old with her I want everything with her and only her’ Son, a love like that is too strong to be broken…by anything! A love like that will remain faithful until the very end"
"I said all that, huh?" I asked with a shit-eating grin on rabbed otten that from Gunner ’cause you sure as hell didn’t learn it frolanced over again
"Don’t rush it I kno much you want to be with her, and it’s not like y’all haven’t been together before I just don’t want you rushing into this"
"Oh god Really, Dad? You’re gonna go there?" I rolled ave me the sex talk when I elve years old"
My dad laughed and shook his head "No, I’ive you the sex talk, you little bastard I’ you…take your tiht she’ll always re to find your Uncle Pete He owesre to make it special?
I looked around for Gunner and found hi I walked as fast as I could and grabbed hiht now!" I said as I pulled him past Ellie, ged him upstairs and into my room, and then I shut the door I felt like I was about to hyperventilate
"Shit, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Gunner asked
I shook onna fuck it up! Did I fuck up our first tiasped for air
"Fuck what up?"
"The first tionna fuck it up"
Gunner threw his head back and laughed "First off, you stupid bastard, you’ve already had sex with her Froed her not to, it was the most roreat! I don’t reonna fuck it up now ’cause I have nothing to co back and forth as I ran h oing to be tonight?"
I stopped and looked at Gunner "I thought I wanted it to be, but now, I’m not so sure I think I need to wait, but…I don’t think I can wait I just want to rip off her clothes and devour her I want to see and touch every inch of her body"
"Okay, first off, just stop I love Heather, and I think of her as a sister You’re totally grossinginto be perfect noor when it is or even where it is Just let it happen when it feels right"
"What did you do for Ellie?" I stopped pacing and stared at Gunner
He started looking everywhere but at me
"Gunner? What did you do for your first time with Ellie?"
Gunner looked at me and shook his head "Dude, I don’t think you really want me to tell you what I did"
I just stared at him "Yeah, I do What did you do?"
"I, um…well, I had Jenny…she’s Aaron’s wife You know Aaron, Drake’s son? Anyway, Jenny decorated the old deer cabin that I had remodeled She filled it with daisies and other flowers and chaood shit But I, umIwell, first I…"
"Jesus, spit it out"
"I asked her toof his shoulders
"Wait…what? How long did you date her before you asked her to marry you?"
"About six months," he said with a smile
"You dated her for six months and never had sex with her?" I asked, stunned
"Yep I didn’t want to rush it I wanted it to be perfect Believe me, there were a few times we alot carried away"
"You’re h and sat down on my bed "Just don’t rush it, dude I know you want to re about those years you lost, especially your memories about Heather, but it’ll come back And if it doesn’t…well, you’ll make new ones"
Just then, there was a knock on my door I walked over and opened it to see Ellie and Heather standing there Heather’s face instantly blushed Shit, why does she get so flushed around ave back al I wouldn’t do for this girl
"Hate to interrupt guy tiets too late I don’t want to leave Alex with your parents for too long," Ellie said as she walked byever
Gunner got up, took her in his arms, and kissed the shit out of her
