High school sweethearts manage
to make it through college into the working world still together and going
strong. From the start of their relationship Jake has made very clear his
apprehension to marriage. Kenna understood going into this nine years ago
that with Jake there would never be a ring or white dress.
Now seeing their friends so
eager to make such a serious commitment in their own relationships a crack
begins to form in Jake and Kenna’s once solid foundation.
Will Kenna ever open up and share her dreams with Jake? Can Jake
overcome his childhood issues? Is Kenna willing to accept things just as
they are forever? Will her desire for a more serious commitment make her
change her feelings for her one love? Is Jake enough alone or does Kenna
demand more than he can give? Can they move forward full throttle into
their future together?
I wake up to an empty space beside me. Jake never came back to bed last night. We always sleep together, even with his nightmares, or when we are fighting. After all the time spent apart with the deployments, we treasure the little things more, like being wrapped up in one another. What is going on with him that he didn’t want to sleep beside me?
I shower and dress for my day, trying to tame my
irritation. I descend our stairs,
reaching the bottom; I stop and stare.
Jake is asleep sitting up on the couch, empty beer bottle still in his
hand. This gorgeous man is snoozing away
in his boxer briefs. Watching him
breathe in such a relaxed state, I take in the man before me.
Jake is built lean like a swimmer. When standing, he is five feet ten inches
tall. He has a trim build with broad
shoulders. He is not overly muscular but
he is toned everywhere, especially in the definition of his chest and abs. He has dusty brown hair with deep green eyes. For me, he is a perfect fit, and the sexiest
man I’ve seen.
As I take in the steady up down rhythm of his
chest, I am drawn to the angel tattoo.
She is moving with him with his every breath, as he inhales and
exhales. This movement pushes the words
around her, causing them to practically scream out to me. I get teary eyed remembering that specific
ink experience.
It was right before his first deployment to
Iraq. He said I have always been his
angel, saving him from himself since the day we met. The angel on his chest was designed to resemble
me in her facial features. The script
seems to dance around her.
‘Watch over
me, carry me, bring me always safely through to my loves waiting arms’
Mentally, I have got to shape up. Jake does not need me as a distraction with
all that is on his plate at the garage.
Dwelling on the marriage that will never occur isn’t going to help
either of us. I am Jake’s love, as he is
mine. I wait when necessary for the next
opportunity to hold him close, and always carry him in my heart.
I see Dina with Ryder, knowing their day is coming
soon. The desire for that level of
commitment is evident in the way they look at each other. Maggie has made it more than clear to Brayden
(and everyone else) that she expects a proposal sooner rather than later. Both of these couples are so in love and on
the path to wedded bliss.
Jake and I are still head over heels in love with
each other. Despite all the years
together, I continue to get butterflies when I see him. The honeymoon phase has never ended for us.
Seeing our friends so happy and in love is
wonderful. I truly am overjoyed for
them. This whole wedding thing, where
Jake and I are concerned, shouldn’t bother me so much. Yet, it does.
What am I to do about it now?
Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal
North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband
and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming. Chelsea always
wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold
of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for
her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice. Chelsea grew up turning
wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars
and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her
‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing
and she currently has a few more projects in the works. When she is not
spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car
shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling
down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might
happen to be in. She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She
is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers
remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year
old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how
to always have fun.
