I watched as his plane took off. I'd wait... I'd definitely wait. I loved him... With all my heart. I smiled and close my eyes. The beating sound inside my chest was proof that my heart truly belonged to him. He was my one true love. Summer... I waited eagerly at the terminal. I pushed myself through the crowds of people, I wanted him to see me. I looked around but couldn't see him... Suddenly a tall young man with black hair and dark eyes turned the corner and my heart began to pound in my chest. He was here... Finally! I threw myself in between the crowd of people and ran to him. "Dante!" I shouted and I threw my arms around his neck. "Dante!" I shouted again. "Armeria?!" he said putting his arms around me and holding me close. "I'm here... I waited..." I said softly. I buried myself I'm his arms and smiled. "I missed you so much," I said. "I missed you too Armeria. I couldn't wait to see you!" he said and he kissed me. "Ah... I'm sorry to say this... But I really didn't think you'd come for me," he said blushing slightly. "Of course I came! I love you," I said blushing too. "I love you." "I love you too," he said and he wrapped his arms around me. "Always and forever," he said. "Me too... I'll love you forever..." I whispered. He grinned. "Marry me." "What?!" "When we're finished school and have jobs, marry me." I blushed madly. "M-marry you?! I-I... I don't know what to say..." I stammered. "I... Yes. I will marry you," I said grinning. He smiled sweetly and kissed my forehead. "Finally... You're mine. All mine," he whispered in my ear and he buried his face in my neck and held me close. "I love you..." "I love you too..." Epilogue 10 years later... I sat down on the back porch and looked up at the blue sky. I smiled... Ahh... It was a beautiful day out. I raised and eyebrow as I saw a young girl run into the yard crying. She had dark hair and dark eyes, and soft ivory skin. "Mommy~~!" she wailed. "Daddy pushed me into the dirt!" she cried showing me her dirty clothes. "He's a meanie face!" I giggle at her innocence and looked to where she was running from. I smiled when I saw an all-familiar tall man, black hair and dark eyes come forth. "I didn't mean to Anna-Marie," he said to the young girl. "Daddy! You're mean!" she wailed. "That wasn't very nice, you know," I said arching and eyebrow. "Very cruel," I said smiling. "Haha, was it? I'm sorry Armeria," he said and he came over to me and kissed my cheek. "I'm sorry," he said making a pouty face like Anna-Marie. "Stop making faces Dante, you're not five," I giggled. He grinned. "Sorry ma'am." At that he took my hand and Anna-Marie's and leads us out of the yard. "Let's go for a walk. The three of us..." "Yes. Sounds lovely." As we walked I looked around at the lovely neighborhood and the place we call home. Dante and I... Our life together has just begun... I was hopeful for the future and happy to have made it this far. I loved him so much. And Anna-Marie... She is my everything as well... A family that has yet to grow. Amore Andante... Love at a Slow Pace... That's exactly how I would describe my relationship with Dante... I'm sure it will grow even more during out time together. I love to last forever... <>~~~~~~~~~~Ꮏhe Ꮛnd~~~~~~~~~~<> Haha, Yay!!
