River Davis was a confident girl with shy tendencies, who wanted to enjoy her last summer before going to college at Princeton in the fall. Jace Durand a young artist on the rise from London, at the age of 19, didn’t know what hit him when he saw the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. Love and happiness is all they knew for three long months, until a plane crash and 4 years apart changed everything.
View MoreI open my eyes when I hear the captain over the loud speakers. “Good evening, this is your captain speaking. We will be taking off in about 15 minutes.”The stewardess walks to the front and does her little demonstration on how the seat belts work and the foldable tables. All about the fan and light, the call button and where the oxygen mask will drop from and how to put them on if they’re needed. The pilot comes back on and asks everyone to power off their devices, so I turn my phone off until we’re in the sky. As the plane begins to roll down the runway, I look out of the window and stare at the one place I never thought I’d leave. Not since I met Jace at least. I think about all the time and effort I put into showing him who I really was and not who I pretend to be when I’m home. I know it’s crazy to say that I’m in love with him because it hasn’t been very long, but love has no time frame. You don’t get to pick who you love. The plane has been in the air for 10 minutes when it
I woke up at 7 am, and Jace was gone. I don’t know why that hurts me a little bit, why didn’t he wake me up before he left? I don’t want to be that kind of girlfriend but I just feel like something is wrong. Maybe he’s in the bathroom or went to get coffee. Any of those things are reasonable. I get up and go to the main room, he’s not there and he’s not in the bathroom. All of the things he brought are gone. He didn’t leave a note or anything but he could still just be at the coffee shop. I’ll just wait a little while before I go all panicky. It’s now 3 in the afternoon and I haven’t heard from him at all today, which still isn’t too serious, he could just be busy with a painting or something. Maybe I should just call him or text him. I’m getting worked up over nothing. I call his phone and it rings a couple times before I get his voicemail. “Hi, Jace. Just checking to make sure you’re okay, I haven’t heard from you all day. I love you.” I leave a message and decide that he’s just
River just gets better and better. Not only does she tell me that she loves me everyday but she continues to show me she loves me. She only has a month and 2 weeks left. And I know I’m going to let her leave. I’m not going to let her put her dreams on hold for me. But I know we’ll be together again. I have something in the works so I can move to the US so I can be with her. I have enough money to open a gallery in any city so wherever she goes, I’m going to. She hasn’t told her parents yet, but she’s changing majors and I think schools too. She’s going to follow her photography dreams and I couldn’t be happier for her. Todays Shirley and Thomas’ 40th wedding anniversary. And I can’t wait to have one of those with River. I would be happy with just a 5 year one, but I know we’ll make it to 40. I just know it. She’s the love of my life and I picture us having children and dogs. A cute little house and even a minivan. I want all of that and more with her. She is the most amazing and wond
I’ve been in London for a month and 2 weeks now. And all I can think about is how much I wish time would stop moving so fast. My mom was right, time really does fly by when you’re having fun. Jace has made me see so much that I’ve been missing out on and I can’t believe it took me so long to get here. He’s making me realize that maybe being a lawyer isn’t really what I want. I want to take pictures, of the places I’ve been and the things I’ve seen. I want to capture these small moments and the smiles and the laughter and love. I want these memories and moments to be frozen in time so I can look at them and remember every feeling.Jace is on his way here to take me to Shirley’s 40 year anniversary party. Her and her husband Thomas have been married since they were 21 years old. That’s the kind of love I see myself having with Jace. He brings out the best in me and I him.Jace officially asked me to be his girlfriend last night over a very romantic midnight picnic. And he wants to annou
It’s been 4 days since I stayed with River. And every single day has been filled with so much love and happiness that it doesn’t even make sense. How could this beautiful woman make me, someone who has admittedly never been in love, feel how I’m feeling. I didn’t think something this wonderful could ever happen for me. Her smile brightens my day, her laugh makes my chest warm, her kisses make my skin tingle. And I know that as soon as she leaves I will inevitably be heartbroken. And after my heart gets broken by her, I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. “Jace?” River snaps her fingers in my face. I must have zoned out. We’re playing UNO because she hasn’t felt good today so we stayed in. I ran her a bath and got her soup and tea. She also won’t let me kiss her until she feels better because she doesn’t want me to catch what she has. “Yes, my love?” I answer her. I need to stop thinking about what will happen when she leaves. She still has a while before that happens. I know I should
I couldn’t fall asleep last night. I kept replaying everything that happened and the fact that River was practically screaming in her sleep almost every 20 minutes. My poor girl, I hope she knows that none of what happened was her fault. That stupid asshole is to blame for all of this. She’s going to have nightmares about this for a really long time but I hope I can make it better for her to deal with as the days go by. I thought about calling her parents as soon as she fell asleep but I know she’ll want to tell them in her own time and I need to respect her wishes and remember that it isn’t my story to tell. I also don’t know if she told them about me yet. So when she finally wakes up, I pretend to be sleeping. I can feel her looking at me, and then I feel her fingers and lips on my face. So I turn this into a little bit of a game. She kisses my face everywhere but my lips. She straddles my lap and I have to fight the urge to touch her, she moves forward rubbing against me and I can
I wake up it’s a sunny Saturday morning. I go downstairs to the kitchen to get coffee and a bagel. I sit at the island and read the paper. Jace isn’t home, he had to go to London for a meeting about his art gallery. Which is fine, he spends most of his time here and has to go back maybe once a month, just to sign some papers that he can’t finish over to the phone or in an email. I never went to law school, I conquered my dream of becoming a wedding photographer and Jace is still an amazing artist with several great art galleries around the world. Jace and I have been together for 6 years, we’ve been married for 4 of the 6 years. We lived in a cute little 1 bedroom apartment for the first 2 years of our relationship until he took me to London to propose in the café where we met. He even flew my mom and dad out and Shirley was there. After that, we moved to a little 3 bedroom house in a small town in Georgia. We’re trying to have a baby that my parents are so excited about. But my dad
I woke up in Jaces arms, I felt so content. I was extremely comfortable and I almost fell back to sleep. I would have, if I could have slept with my eyes open, because as soon as I closed them I remembered everything that happened last night. I remembered getting ready for my late night movie date with Jace, I remembered picking the movie, we were going to watch scary movies. Any reason I had to cuddle up to him, even though I love scary movies, I would have faked it for him. I remembered getting pop corn and some beers and a lot of candy. I had a whole spread for our movie date. I remember getting a call from the clerk downstairs, telling me that there was a man here to see me and I was excited. I didn’t know why he was calling to tell me jace was here but I didn’t mind. I thought maybe he was new and didn’t know that Jace had been here every day and night for the last 2 weeks. But when the knock came and I opened the door my heart literally stopped. Landon was on the other side of
** trigger warning, contains themes of sexual assault **Time is flying with River. She’s been here for 2 weeks as of today. We’ve gone on several dates. Yesterday we went and played laser tag. She beat me of course, and she was so humble about it. We also went and seen some beautiful sites that she can’t see back home. Our first date will always be the one that I’ll remember forever. We spent most of the day walking the streets of London. She took loads of pictures. She has me wondering why she wants to be a lawyer when her pictures are immaculate. I think she only wants to be a lawyer because she doesn’t believe her parents will support her photography dreams. I believe that they would though. Our first date went like this,First, we ate at this amazing restaurant, we had brunch and she had her first mimosa. Next, we went to the London Eye. She was terrified the whole time, apparently she’s afraid of heights. She held onto me the whole time, almost like she thought I was her anchor
