Aiden pressed his lips to Tina’s and kissed her with all of the love he felt in that moment. His eyes were watering, his heart was thundering in his ears, he felt his stomach flutter and he was so overjoyed to hear Tina say it that he thought he would explode from happiness. Tina loved him. LOVED him, a lot. More than a lot and he loved Tina the same.

Aiden pulled back and looked at Tina, who looked a little stunned but a smile slowly spread across her face. “So what were you going to say?”

Aiden sucked in a breath. Tina had just poured her heart out to him, he knew that was hard as hell for Tina, probably even harder than what Aiden wanted to say to her. “Well…of course I feel the same but I wanted to ask you about something at the bar yesterday..”

Tina looked kind of confused, not sure where Aiden was going with it. “Um…you know that girl…” Tina nodded. Aiden continued, “Well I might have heard some of what you guys were talking about…”

Tina blinked, trying to mentally run through the conversion in her head. “Yeah?”

Aiden put his head back down on Tina’s chest. “Tina..”

Tina ran her hand down Aiden’s back and whispered, “Come on Aiden you of all people should be able to talk to me. You know how hard it is for me to admit sh*t and I just did…are you worried about what I am going to say?”

Aiden nodded. Tina pulled Aiden back up and looked into his eyes. “Aiden please. Tell me.”

Aiden’s heart was racing again, his palms were clammy and he felt sick to his stomach. Tina tried to guess what Aiden wanted to say, “Um…is it because I said you were my boyfriend.”

Aiden shrugged. “Well yes and no.”

Tina nodded and said, “You mad I said that.”

Aiden shook his head, “Fu*k no,” then whispered, “I liked it. A lot.”

Tina smiled and kissed Aiden’s forehead. “Me too.”

Tina pulled Aiden closer and said, “So you want to be my boyfriend Aiden?” Aiden shook his head. Tina stiffened.

Aiden licked his lips, propped himself up on his elbow and looked at Tina. He had to just do it. He wanted it more than anything and it would never happen unless he was honest with Tina. “No T, I want to be your husband.”

Tina moaned and pulled Aiden on her, kissing him over and over with so much passion and love. She tried pulling Aiden closer even though they were already as close as they could be. They kissed for a very long time. Finally they pulled away from each other and looked into each other’s eyes.

Aiden swore he saw a tear in Tina’s eye, but Tina leaned in for one more kiss. Aiden pulled away and said, “So does that mean you want that too?”

Tina smiled and kissed Aiden a few more times. “More than anything Aiden.

The end.
