When Javi arrives home, he finds their house completely empty and quiet. Very softly he can hear the sound of music playing from out in the yard, just drifting through the large glass doors that are barely ajar, as he follows the sound, he finds himself out on the patio, where the little yard has been decorated with little twinkling fairy lights, on the ground is a huge blanket dotted with big comfortable pillows.
The blanket is covered in all manner of finger foods and treats, a bottle of wine chills in a bucket and two long stemmed glasses sit beside it, sitting on the blanket, dressed in a pretty cornflower blue sundress, her hair in soft curls and her face painted subtlety with make up, is Eliza. She smiles up at Javi with a nervous but excited expression on her face as she waits for his reaction.
He looks around and has a large grin on his face.
"Babe?"
He chuckles.
"What's all this?"
She jumps up with a smile and moves around the blanket to grab his hands and lead him over to it, she looks up into his eyes and smiles.
"You've been so... patient with me, with all that's been going on..."
She pulls him down to the blanket and snuggles up close to him, nuzzling her nose against his neck.
"I wanted to show you how much I appreciate you..."
"Oh babes.... You didn't need to do all this, honestly. I'm just happy I have you."
He smiles as he leans into her nuzzle.
She wraps her arms around his middle and nuzzles against his neck some more.
"No Javi, I did... my whole life I have felt lost, I have felt like the sad little orphan girl nobody could ever love or accept..."
She turns slightly now, to look into his eyes with a smile.
"I changed, over and over again to try and be loved and accepted... I wanted to feel like I mattered in this world."
She sits in front of him now and her smile grows.
"And then there was you and you didn't want me to change, you saw all my bad parts, all the dark and dank hidden away from the world and you... you loved me anyway."
"Well I can't love you... If I want to change who you are."
He shrugs.
"That's not loving you, that's loving something and wanting you to change into that thing. But I would never change a thing about you Eliza... Why would I?"
He smiles slyly.
"You're perfect to me."
She looks down with a blush to her cheeks and sniffles slightly, shaking her head.
"I know I've never... told you much about the way I was brought up, I thought having Dillon would resolve all of that but he just lived as a constant reminder of my pain..."
She frowns and shakes her head.
"I married Kayla because she loved me more than I could ever love her, because despite being nothing that I wanted, she made me feel loved and secure... I compromised my happiness for a feeling of belonging..."
She looks up into his eyes and her smile is tinged with a sadness that comes from old wounds.
"I... want to be able to tell you, where I've been, the things I've done, my life before you... but I don't want to lose you, or change the way you look at me when it's how you're looking at me right now..."
He reaches over and takes her hand in his, a warm and welcoming smile on his face.
"None of that matters to me Eliza.What matters to me is us from the moment we become us. Anything in your past? It's in the past. I'm not looking back, I'm looking to our future and present."
He sighs a bit.
"Whatever this life throws our way... We will face it... Together."
She leans in and kisses him softly, her body relaxing into his as a few tears rolls down her cheeks, her hands touch to his cheeks as she doesn't want to break the kiss, allowing herself to be lost in the moment of his words and this feeling.
His hand moves to the small of her back and keeps her close to himself. He continues her kiss, a moment he doesn't want to end.
She finally pulls back from the kiss, another small sniffle leaves her as she lets the tears rolls down her cheeks, her hands stay cupping his as she stares into his eyes.
"I love you Javi."
A sly smile comes to his face.
"I love you too, Eliza."
She looks at his face and laughs softly, wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"What's the look for?"
His eyes slightly close and softly look to her.
"You really want to know?"
She bites her lip and fidgets a little, riddled with nerves as she nods her head.
"Yeah..."
He smiles again.
"I just fell in love with you again is all...."
His smile widens.
She smiles and falls into him, sitting on his lap she rests her head against his chest and sighs happily.
"I fall in love with you every day."
