Chapter 48- Gut feelings are guardian angels

Jahin's POV

I think the moments you are going to remember before you die are the moments time did not exist, moments you were yourself and you felt most alive. See, I have tried to run away from the way I feel about her but the further I ran the more I brought torture upon myself.

What if we're meant to be here, together. What if this is our own little story? because if it is, I would want to live it...fully and hold nothing back because this might sound silly but I have always wanted to be the main character. This is my chance and I am not letting it pass me by.

I parked the car and lead Haya safely on the boat.

"Jahin please drive slowly," she stammered.

"Do you trust me?" I asked looking into her angel eyes.

"Yes, I do," she replied.

I guess I didn't really ask her if she trusts me because we are about to get on the boat...I needed to know, so hearing her say it made me happy.

I looked over at her to make sure she was okay the whole time I was driving...she looked completely mesmerized by the view.

We arrived at the other side of the forest and I helped Haya off the boat. She took everything in and I could see how much she truly loves the little surprise.

"Oh my gosh, Jahin this looks amazing," she gasped.

An overwhelming feeling suddenly hit me, I looked at her and I did not want to waste any more time.

"Haya, will you be my girlfriend forever this time?" I asked.

"What?, I mean yes Jahin...I love you," hearing her say I love you after such a long time brought serenity to my soul.

"I love you too," I leaned closer and kissed her.

This is not the reason I brought her here, I thought today was going to be about the two of us spending time together but I guess GUT FEELINGS ARE GUARDIAN ANGELS because she said yes.

We both sat down, enjoyed the view, and caught up on a lot of things. She giggled the entire time and I just stared.

"I need to see you happy Haya," I said to myself.

"Please recite one of your poems for me," I asked and I could see that I caught her off guard.

"I do not have my journal with me and I do not know them by heart, I will do it another time," she replied trying to convince me otherwise but if she wants to be one of the best selling authors...she needs to build up some confidence and I do not mind helping her do it.

"You are not going to make me let you slip by, you are going to recite a poem for me right now...you can come up with something, you are talented Haya," I said.

"Well okay,

I usually like being alone,

however ever since I have met you

I want to spend all my time with you

all the breaths I release from the pleasure you provide me with are filled with so much life, we could make babies

lately, I feel so comfortable in my own skin

it's probably because of the way you gaze at me

and I have always yearned to be looked at how broken hearts look at art

now, I know what it feels like and sometimes I am scared I might steal all your breath away

-yougaveuponmestrangely" hearing her recite such a beautiful piece when I literally caught her off guard truly proves how talented this girl is. I wonder how long it is going to take her to get out of her small world and share her art with the world.

"You are my own personal muse," I said in an English accent.

"Stop being silly," she also replied in a witty English accent which made the both of us burst into laughter.

"No but seriously, you are a wonder and your work is so amazing," I said.

"Really? I mean, it's not that good... some people write excellently and I am not one...," every word she was uttering was pure rubbish so I kissed her instead.

"How about you write a piece and I can hang it up on a wall in my art house?" I asked.

"No, oh my goodness! Jahin...your art house is famous here in Cape town and I am not that good. I do not want to embarrass you and myself," she replied and I expected her to say no, so I already have a plan in mind.

I am going to ask Zoe to steal her journal for me and then go through her poems. I am going to surprise her with an entire exhibition of her art hosted at my art house.

"I am bumped but okay, take your time but do not take too long. My art house needs some real art on it's walls," I said tickling her to cheer her up.

"Noooo, haha," she stood up and started running away from me and I chased her.

We both ended up in the water and although it was cold, I do not think either of us noticed. All we cared about was being close together, I hope because I would not trade this moment for anything, and being able to call her my girlfriend is everything.

Memories like these make life a blessing, they make life worth experiencing, and all the adrenaline happy moments like this one provides you with could last you an entire lifetime, but only if you find the right one.

When I am with her there is no place I would rather be, I just want to stop time from ticking. I would watch rom-com movies and think all the emotions they talk about do not exist but here I am doing all of this cheesy stuff I thought did not exist...all because I am in love with this incredible young lady.

It is not easy though.
