IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU

C.C.

Chapter 11

As they lay in each others arms Kid needed to be sure that she understood and was fully aware of what she'd be giving up. "Lou, you sure? You saw today and last night, you couldn't have missed the looks and attention you got from the men in town, you haven't had much of a chance to court, ya know? How do you know for sure that you'll be happy with me?" "I just want you to be sure of what you might be giving up." His concern only added to her sheer love and devotion to him. Oh how can I begin to let him know what he is to me, she wondered.

"Kid" she prayed silently for the right words, when Jimmy and me tried to... well you know, when we tried to make something out of our relationship it took such an effort. I had to work so hard to remember to do this or say that, trying not to hurt his feelings. Now, I ain't saying anything bad about him, but with you I don't have to make an effort to think about you. Everything I am, everything I think about... is you. I just don't think that's something you should take for granted. It's the easiest thing in the world, loving you, why would I want anybody else? You are perfect and I don't feel like I'm giving up anything. I feel like I'd be giving up everything if I didn't have you." He held her tightly, thankful to the Good Lord for the gift given to him, he would never mistreat her or take her for granted, he loved her with every ounce of his being.

They made love again, this time with a certainty which hadn't been there before. They'd be together for the rest of their lives, and this knowledge led to an even greater passion for each, neither of which thought was possible.
