Ch-14

Misti's POV:

Looking at his sleeping face on my screen, lips curled up into a smile. I wanted to be there to watch him sleep every night and wake up next to me. For now I could just watch him see through this screen.

"Goodnight, love", whispered with a soft sigh.

Hanging up the call my gazes went back to the books lying in front of me looking boring as ever. If I could I would have spent my whole night watching him sleep but these stupid finals were right up ass, not letting me enjoy my time with him.

When he is free either I'm busy studying or sleeping because of the exhaustion. And when I am free, he is busy with his own life. Getting to talk with him was a luxury at this point. But we cherished every moment we got. Isn't that how relationships work?

Zayd's POV

My fingers are smashing against the keyboards as I was trying to make my code work while hearing her voice notes about how she thinks she's probably gonna fail her finals because she was stupid to not study the whole year. And how she probably won't be able to get into her dream university. Meanwhile, the code was showing an error.

Working both relationship and work life was tiring and exhausting sometimes, but not enough to make me quit either of them.

It would be worth it in the end right?

♧

She was an insecure little girl who only saw her worse about herself ignoring the best she had. While he was a mature big man, who saw the best in her regardless the flaws. He loved her inside and out. From her double chins to her chubby stomach. The laugh she was insecure about he made her laugh more making her even forget about it. Stupid photos she thought looked bad in, well for some reason he thought she looked like an angel on those. She gave him thousands of reasons not to love her, while he slowly and eventually made her love herself first. He was her safe place.

Although sometimes a big mature man needs a person he could go to find peace. She became his peace. A place where he felt loved and cared. A place he could cry and dump his frustration without the worry of being judged. She was his safe place.

She loved him the way he loved her. To the moon and back. No. To the universe and back.

I don't know what the future holds for us ahead, but I am ready to rewrite destiny if it means I would get to spend my life with you together.

People gonna say we are too young to know if it's even love, and long distance never works. Wanna prove them wrong?
