Avery

The wind was strong.

My hair blew around my face, teasing me as I struggled to get it under control.

I was very aware of Preston watching me. I eventually gave up and watched my hair flit around my head.

Preston came over, and stifling a laugh, pulled my locks out of my eyes. He stood between the breeze and me.

I smiled up at him and raised an eyebrow when I saw his hair. It was rumpled up and blowing around in the gust. I tucked his bangs behind his ears and he rested his forehead on mine.

I smiled. The world seemed to melt around us.

"Preston," I swallowed and stared into his beautiful green eyes.

"Preston," I tried again. "I love you," I whispered fiercely.

Time seemed to slow down as I waited for his answer.

"I love you too." He murmured.

His arms slipped around my waist. I smiled up at him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, resting my head against his chest. I listened to the steady beat of his heart.

Preston kissed the top of my head. A shiver ran through me.

"I wish we could stay like this forever." I murmured.

"We can,"

"How?"

"We'll always be together."

"I love you, Preston."

"I love you too, Avery."

Then together;

"I'll love you forever."
