Chapter 89 - The World Would Stand Still
He glanced over at the calendar on the wall and realized that there were only seven days left to feel her wrapped around him. Six days until he could look into her beautiful brown eyes and tell her how much he loved her. It seed like forever had passed since the day they had seen each other.
She had co into his life without warning, touching his heart, and leaving no way for him to make her go away. Before she ca alone, his life was a ss of work and controversies, but now everything seed to be on track. How would his life have been without eting her? How would it have felt to not know what her heartbeat sounded like? How could he have fallen in love with her without eting her? His heart and brain didn't know the answer to these simple questions, but they had beco the truth of his life. He began to wonder if there were other people on the planet that experienced love like they did. Was this feeling of overwhelming emotion sothing common? Whatever the answer to that question may have been, he didn't care much for it. If yes, it was common… he was happy for all those people who felt the sa way about their other half. If no, he was thankful that the gods have given him the chance to experience sothing this magical. He felt like even though he had never t her, he could listen to her heartbeat from miles away.
He was normally not a person who would let his guard down in front of soone he didn't know. But there was sothing different about Katherine. There was just sothing about the easiness with which they understood each other… To so, it was odd that in the day and age of social networking and dating apps, sothing so transcendental was possible. He hadn't gone in search of her, they had just crashed into each other without realizing it. It all started out with casual banter but it didn't take long before she had stolen his heart. Now, half of his heart remained in his body, while the other hard resided in the palm of her hands, at her rcy. In seven days, they would be united, his heart would finally be a whole.
Their days started and ended the sa way. She was the first voice he heard when he woke up and the last voice he responded to whilst he drifted off to sleep. The sound of her voice whispering good morning had beco his ringtone, and with every ssage and call, they grew closer to each other, finding out everything about the other… things that were impossible to find out without playing the ga like they had. She had beco a part of who he was, and definitely was a huge part of who he wanted to be. She represented everything that was good and beautiful about the world, everything that he wanted in his life to make it happy. While he didn't like to speak much when it ca to talking to others, he found himself lost in words when he was with her. There was just… sothing about her.
When he called her 'baby,' he knew there was no one else who could bring him to his knees and keep him at their rcy. The sa gas and movies and music coursed through their veins like fish in the sea. When sothing ca up, the other knew for certain sothing was wrong. Soon, he hoped, they would know what was wrong before the other spoke. They shared the sa thoughts so many tis, views on lives, about each other that sotis he began to believe that there were truly people made for each other. They were made for each other. It was only a matter of ti before they would complete each others' sentences, only because the respected each other to finish their thoughts did they not do it now. But what was respect in a relationship of equals? They would know each other so well that nothing would be foreign.
Sunday couldn't co soon enough. Every day seed like an eternity. He prayed that nothing went wrong on the day they had to et. His heart couldn't stand being apart from her any longer. He grew nervous as the days passed and the day of her arrival grew closer.
When they decided to et, he was ecstatic. He couldn't believe that they were finally going to be together. He couldn't wait to tell her how much he loved her and that she completed him. He began to constantly dream of how their eting would be.
He could imagine what their eting would be like.
He would grab a large bouquet of flowers and make his way to the entrance of the mall. He would check the ti to see how long it would take her to finally arrive. His heart would race a mile a minute and he would bounce around in excitent. He would gush over being so near to her… so near.
'Where is my girl?' he would think.
He would catch the soft scent of her dancing through the air and their eyes would lock. They would take long strides towards one another, brightly smiling… She would run into his arms at the last minute and kiss him with every fiber of her being. He would run his fingers through her hair, deepening the kiss as he pulls her to him. At that mont, the world would stand still. It wouldn't matter who was around them or who was looking. It wouldn't matter if the paparazzi found out. As he would tug on her bottom lip, they would slowly pull away and giggle before taking a deep breath.
They would reconnect, sucking softly on each other for what may be an eternity, but neither would notice. They would lt into each other's touch, their hearts thumping against their ribcage. It would take so ti before they got breathless and broke away. Their passion for the other would have made it pretty evident that they wanted each other. It wouldn't make a difference that there were people who would judgntally look at them. The only thing on their mind was how much they wanted each other.
