It felt great to be in someone’s arms and to feel wrapped up in someone’s kiss. He wasn’t even confused at this moment, and that really was something to cherish. He had been confused for weeks. He was getting really sick of thinking, and contemplating, and pacing, and rethinking. It was getting positively exhausting. Now though, he wasn’t doing any of that. He watched her as she walked out of the pool and followed close behind her. He noticed he had been doing a lot of following her.
He laughed as she rubbed him down with the towel. It felt a little silly, but he enjoyed it. As she grabbed her phone and room key, he grabbed his and nodded at her question. ”Yeah, we can go back now.” After he answered, he swept her off her feet, literally, and was carried her bridal style back to their room. Refusing to put her back down again, he fumbled with the key and opened the door.
“I hope you like it…” he said as he put her down revealing the room to her. He quickly lit the candles that had been waiting for patiently for her. He was incredibly nervous and excited at the same time. There was so much riding on this marriage and this attempt to be a good husband. It was cliché, naïve, and boyish, but girls loved things like that. That’s what every movie he had ever watched said: woman loved anything that made a man look like a dork to other men. He’d learned early on to accept it, so here he was: sitting in this romantically set up room with chocolate, rose petals, and candles and praying to god that maybe he did something right for once.

As she leaped into a kiss and had him all wrapped up, he smiled back, held her there, and kissed back with just as much ferocity. She pulled away and spoke. He looked deep into her ears as she did and tried to understand clearly what was going on. Beau wasn’t sure what to say. Maybe she was falling in love with him? Maybe she was and maybe they were supposed to, but it was a lot to handle all at once. He didn’t really say anything specifically back; he just smiled as if to say ‘give me time and I will be yours.’ He meant it. He just needed some more time, but he would keep on trying until it got incredibly difficult to try, and after that, he would try some more.
He placed her back down and lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling of the hotel room. Patting the place next to him, he invited her to join him. It wasn’t an invitation for sex; it was an invitation for nearness. He didn’t want her to think he was far too eager, but he did want to lie next to her and feel her body beside him. It was comforting to be next to anyone at all when you’re too use to being alone all the time. That’s what Beau was: he was alone 90% of the time. He led his bachelor lifestyle and drank and worked, but right now he was sitting next to a beautiful girl. Most of all, right now, he wasn’t alone.
His eyes peered over at her, and he smiled a little. “What do you think about the most?” He asked. It was a strange question, so he tried feebly to explain, “I mean, like, what do you think about when your mind is free to just think? Does that make sense?” It was strange, but he truly wanted to know.

Beau smiled as he listened to her speak and describe the inner workings of her mind. She wasn’t very good with words, and he was all too familiar with being good with words. It wasn’t hard for Beau to say what people wanted to hear. She was interesting to listen to because she didn’t say what people wanted to hear all the time. It made her uniquely fascinating when she spoke. Beau wasn’t like that, or at least, he didn’t feel like he was. He almost always did what people wanted him to do. It was a character flaw or talent. He couldn’t quite figure out which.
Feeling her kiss him, he grinned back at her. His smile had stretched wider and wider. Every kiss made him more wildly excited than the one before. As she placed her head on his chest, his heart beat a little bit faster. “Of course,” he said while twirling some of her long hair with one of his fingers, “I’ll always be your friend.” Maybe he did fall in love with her a little bit right then with her head on his chest, her eyes on his, her pretty hair, and her eyes on his.
She was so incredibly pretty, and he doubted that she really knew that she was. “I know this is random,” he laughed lightly, “But do you know that you are really, honestly, beautiful?” She had somehow captivated him. Maybe it was the candlelight and the way it was bouncing off of her face. Maybe it was his quickly beating heart and the way he was really starting to like her. It didn’t matter why or what was making him feel this way. All that mattered was that he did. He pulled her face towards his so he could kiss her again. His hand slipped down to the small of her back, after pulling her closer to him, it rested there.

Physically, he was ready to have sex just like any other man. It wasn’t a secret that she was beautiful, and it had been awhile since he’d been physically intimate with someone. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to take things further; however, he barely knew her. They had gotten married and jumped into a relationship that he could barely fathom, let alone truly appreciate. He didn’t want to move too quickly. Honestly, all he really wanted was to fall madly and deeply in love. In the past, it had been incredibly easy for Beau to confuse love and lust when he was with girls before. When it came to matters of the heart, he was very easy to confuse and very easy to grow bored with anything less than love.
“You’re welcome, Nicole.” He smiled and wrapped his arms tightly around her holding her against him as close as he could pull her in. Pulling away from her sweet kiss, he snuggled his face into her shoulder. Her hair was in his face, and he continued to smile. It was entirely pleasant to be wrapped up in someone else. He had been alone for so long that he had forgotten what it was like to have moments like this one.
The smell of the pool’s chlorine hadn’t begun to bother him at all, and the candles did their best to waft sweet smelling perfumes of vanilla, and other girly scents that he hadn’t picked out, to cover up that chlorine smell. The proximity of his body to hers, though, made it difficult for any burning candle to cover it up. If anything, this chlorine smell would always remind him of their wedding night; it was the night he jumped into a pool in his boxers and had to learn to be a husband. This was the first night of every night he’d spend with her after this one. It was alright for that night to smell like chlorine because life wasn’t always pretty and good-smelling, but even when it wasn’t, it could feel pretty good.
