want to make this work” I tell him. He gives me a surprise look.

 

“you do?”

 

“yeah I do, honestly I love you and we have a son to think about, but we need to talk first Kotah”

 

“about?”

 

“everything” I snort. “you cheated on me Dakotah, we have a lot to talk about, a ot to work out before we can try to even be together. “

 

“okay, that sounds fair. Anything I can do to get you back” he says pausing and grabbing my left hand. He starts playing with the ring. “anything to make you for real this time, I will.”

 

“okay but I still don’t know if this is fixable Dakotah, I’m doing this hopeing we can, but I’m not sure we can” I tell him pulling my hand away. I slide the ring off and hand it to him.

 

“no keep it, please I want you to have it weather it works out orr not.”

 

He sets the ring back in the palm and my hand and closes it for me. I nod and put it back on. For now it’ll be worn on my right hand. If there’s a chance we work it out and I’m ready to be with him then then I’ll wear it on my left, but right now it’s place was on my right hand.

 

Willy walks out with a room key. Great were all sharing a room. After all the times Willy has slept over at my house, I’ve learned he farts in his sleep.

 

A lot.

 

And it stinks.

 

Badly.

 

After the second time I made willy start sleeping on the couch, so my bed didn’t get stunk up. I definitely wasn’t sleeping in the same bed as him.

 

And I knew Willy and Dakotah both wouldn’t sleep in the same bed to save their lives, that left me with one choice. Dakotah.

 

But was that a smart choice, I didn’t want him thinking all was forgiven because I sleep in the same bed as him. But it was getting cold and dark, we’d figure it out in a little bit. Willy lead us to a room and opened it.

 

“we’ll its an upgrade from the last motal we stayed at” I said looking around the room. It might have coast tenty or thirty dollars more but at least it had a flat screen and two comfy looking beds.

 

“I’m sorry” Dakotah mumbles looking down at the ground, his shoulders slumped.

 

“it’s ok I was kidding around” I say elbowing his arm, trying ot cheer him up. Why was he being like this, it wasn’t like him to be like this.

 

For as long as I’ve known Dakotah, through pain and hurt he’s always had a happy façade up. He always put on a bubbly and happy  act even around me.

 

“I’m going to the drug store down the street to get some cigarettes, be back in a little” Willy says walking out of the room before we even had a chance to say anything. I turn to Dakotah and sit down on the bed that wasn’t close to the window.

 

“why’d you cheat” I ask bluntly.

 

“I was drunk Faith I don’t even remember that night, I’m sorry all I know is she bought me a drink, we danced and I went to call you but I blacked out and woke up in bed with her.

 

I raised my eyebrows in suspicion.

 

“that doesn’t seem sketchy at all to you?”

 

“at first it did, but I didn’t want to lose you” he said his voice cracking. Why was he always able to get into my heart, even when I tried my best to block him out.

 

I started to tear up as I watched him cry for the first time, in a very long time. I could tell this was hurting him that he was being genuine, but I was hurting to. How would I just say ok I love you and pretend like this never happened. We needed to work through this by talking, not just burying our problems until it came back to bite us.

 

“if you loved me why didn’t you actually come after me even after you thought I cheated, if you loved me like you said you did that wouldn’t have mattered”

 

“I thought it was what you wanted and that’s why you left, cause you didn’t want me to come after you” he says messing with his hands. 

 

“ I never stopped wanting you to come after me, I wished you would for a year and a half then I gave up hope, when Bentley was born, I cried everyday cause he reminded me of you until I finally broke and decided to come back.

 

“we both made our mistakes, and I’ll always regret mine. It’ll kill me if I lose you faith I can’t live without you, I need you” he says looking up at me for the first time sense this conversation started. His eyes were glassy. His expression was filled with regret. I was more sure then anything I’ve ever been sure about that he did love me.

 

But was he in love with me, would he ever do this again if I forgave him. 

 

I made my mistakes to though, I left him without telling him I was pregnant and moved to a different state and he never stopped waiting for me. when I did come back he forgave me.

 

Compared to what I did, what he did was a one time baby mistake. I could forgive him for that it was a long time ago and it only happened once.

 

Everything I did was twice as bad as what he did to me, and he forgave me. he really did love me. I look down at the ring and slide it off.

 

He starts to cry as I hand it to him.

 

“ask me again” I say cosing his hands just like he did earlier. He looks at me surprised. For a few seconds he’s frozen not registering what I was saying then it hit him.

 

He stands up and grabs my hand before getting down on one knee.

 

“faith will you marry me please”

 

 

 

“What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now.”

 

 

 

I smiled as my moms words yet again came to mind. She was right everything that happened up until this point was what brought us here, maybe if everything happened in a different way, we wouldn’t have benlt, we would even be together, we wouldn’t be getting married because we wouldn’t truly know how much we loved each.

 

I truly believe everything that happened, was meant to happen. And because of that we were here.

 

By saying yes  I was starting a new chapter with Dakotah and Bentley I was starting knew. I didn’t notice I was crying until I felt a drop hit my hand.

 

“yes, yes of course I will” I cry. Dakotah, also crying. Slips the ring on my finger, he was so nervous he was shaking, did he honestly think I’d have him ask me again if I was going to say no? 

 

He stands up and hugs me lifting me off the ground. I wrap my legs around him and hold him tight.

 

“ Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day”.

 

 

I smile and close my eyes.

 

“thank you mom” I whispher quietly knowning she’d  hear it regardless of weather she was here or not.

Chapter Nine

 

“Good morning, beautiful, how was your night?, Mine was wonderful with you by my side,  And when I open my eyes to see your sweet face, It's a good morning, beautiful day” steve holy sings waking me up out of a dice sleep.

         

   It’s been two year sense I’ve slept that good. Dakotah and I stayed up watching all sappy romance movies until we passed out together, with him there it made it easier to sleep. It was impossible to sleep sense I left and now I knew why. Because he wasn’t there.

       

     “I couldn't see the light, I didn't know day from night. I had no reason to care. Well, since you've came along, I can face the dawn.  'Cause I know, you'll be there” I hear Dakotah sing along. I stretch and yawn then look at my finger the dimond ring belonged there. Dakotah was heating up some coffee with his back turned to me.

 

I get up as quietly as I can and sneak up behind him. When I’m behind him I wrap my arms around his waist and horribly sing along with him.

 

“Good morning, beautiful, how was your night?  Mine was wonderful with you by my side. And when I open my eyes to see your sweet face. It's a good morning, beautiful day” we sing in unison, he turns around and grabs  my hips dancing. I laugh and dance with him. My heart melting as he stares at me and sings.

 

“I never worry if it's raining outside. 'Cause in here with you, girl, the sun always shines. Good morning, beautiful, how was your night? Mine was wonderful with you by my side. And when I open my eyes to see your sweet face. It's a good morning, beautiful day. Hmm, good morning, beautiful day. Hmm, it's a beautiful day .Good morning beautiful, good morning beautiful. Good morning, what a beautiful day.Good morning beautiful, good morning beautiful.” He finishes. I smile and kiss his cheek. I love when he sings to me. he knows I love it to, he’s done it as long as I can remember, it melted my heart everytime.

 

“good morning beautiful” he says brushing the hair out of my face.

 

“morning” I say closeing my eyes his touching giving me goosebumps.

 

“She's a yellow pair of running shoes. A holey pair of jeans.She looks great in cheap sunglasses. She looks great in anything. She's I want a piece of chocolate. Take me to a movie. She's I can't find a thing to wear. Now and then she's moody” Dakotah sings and instantly I know it’s brad paisleys’ “she’s everythin”

 

“how long have you been up” I ask smiling up at him.

 

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” He answers with a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes and push away from him. Now this was the Dakotah I missed.

 

“can you guys shut up I’m trying to sleep here” I hear willy yell making me jump.  I laugh and look back at Dakotah.

 

“I forgot he was here” I laugh.

 

“me too” he whisphere wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me to him.

 

 

 

“Falling in love is like getting hit by a truck and yet not being mortally wounded. just sick to your stomach, high one minute, low the next. Starving hungry but unable to eat. hot, cold, forever horny, full of hope and enthusiasm, with momentary depressions that wipe you out.

It is also not being able to remove the smile from your face, loving life with a mad passionate intensity, and feeling ten years younger.

Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high
