"Hey," Brett said as he opened the door

Looking into his worried green eyes, the pressure was already lessening onit easier to breathe Like it always did, the pain fro as I stood in front of Brett And I knew that I’d somehow fallen in love with this man in a matter of weeks, no matter how insane that seemed

And I also knew I had my answer

A sharp cry burst from my chest and I slappedcovered his face

"Oh, Paisley," he whispered Wrapping his arms around my shoulders, he pulled me into his chest as he shut the door behind us

I GOT UP fro on the couch and walked slowly into the kitchen I knew I should probably eat, but nothing sounded good I’d talked to Jason a couple hours ago, and since I knew Paisley wasn’t with Kristen, that only left one other person I could think she’d spend a Saturday with

And it was killing o wait at her apartain, but even Kristen and Jason thought it was a bad idea They thought it was tiht; I just wasn’t ready to adrabbed a beer and turned to walk back to the couch, but stopped when a knock sounded onat it for a few ure out if I should answer or act like I wasn’t here

I didn’t need Jason telling ain I already knew

When the knock caain, I set the beer down on the table and walked over to the door Unlocking and opening it without bothering to see who it was, I froze when I saw Paisley standing there, tears streaht decision in choosing you"

"What?" I asked on a breath, and curled my arms around her when she crushed her body to hly and looked up at me "I can live without him--I can’t live without you"

A smile pulled atI should have done long ago Bending low, I brought my face within a breath of hers to whisper, "I love you, Paisley Morro" before pressing my lips to hers

Her arhtened and pressed her back against the wall, loving the throaty sound she htened around my hips, and her chest heaved when I pulled back fro the wall and one ar as they widened when I ers My lips tilted up on one side when a shiver h her body, and I leaned forward to make the saainst the wall, and a soft, breathy whiht then that was my favorite sound in the world

"I want to hear you say it again"

"I chose you," she breathed, her declaration sounding al away from her neck, I waited until she lowered her head to look at ain "Not that, Pay"

"I love you?" she asked softly

"Yeah"
