Landon

     Raising her eyes upwards, the statement was all too true. ❝Not when you know about the world we know about.❞

“Exactly. God some days I wish I didn’t know about it all. Like I’m glad for it all because I wouldn’t have Hope without the supernatural, but damn some days I just wish we could be normal.”

     Nodding her head slowly, she smiled about it. ❝Yeah, let’s go.❞ She hummed at the feeling of his lips as her body felt like it was on fire.

He reluctantly pulled away from her. “Perfect.” He intertwined his fingers with hers and grabbed his keys from his pocket. As he led her out the door, he locked it behind them. He let go of Hope’s hand and wrapped his arm around her waist. “I can’t wait to have you all to myself.”

     ❝Well whatever you think of I’m sure it’ll be amazing.❞ She smiled about it.

“Thank you.” He smiled. “What’s your favorite thing to get at the Grill?”

“Perfect. I’ll aim for about seven o’clock.” She hummed as she turned on her heels and blew a kiss with her hand. “See you tomorrow Landon.”

“Seven sounds perfect. See you then, Scarlett.” He chuckled and shook his head as she walked away.

     In the moment she couldn’t of been more excited to become his wife, knowing of course closer to the date she could be more excited but right now she was her happiest. ❝It does sound pretty great.❞ She smiled as her hand slipped up to his neck. ❝I love you so much, Landon.❞ She spoke softly before re-attaching her lips with his, missing the feeling already right now.

“I love you too, Hope.” He smiled against her lips. “How about I lock up here and you and I head back to the apartment?” He moved to kiss her chin and then her neck.

she  could not admit he was right. nope, she would not ❝ hmm ❞ she mumbled. her confident was better now, but the past could she still not stop thinking about. probably because hers was a roller coaster. the blonde nodded at what the phoenix said next ❝ yeah, see, pictures are a memory, but you get to spend the rest of your life with hope. that says a lot more than pictures ❞

“Spending forever with Hope is definitely worth more than pictures, but pictures still are nice to have. A picture was all I had of my mom for so long. A lot can be said for them.” He smiled. Tomorrow was never promised, even for supernaturals, having a tangible memory of special moments still meant a lot to him.

     ❝Oh my gosh that’s amazing!❞ She smiled about it with a short two clap of her hands. ❝You could always do a deal with a sandwich and a drink.❞

“Yeah, it’s, uh, it’s pretty cool.” He smiled. “I could do that. We’ll have to see. It’ll be something special though.”

     Elena nodded her head understanding, ❝I get complicated relationships.❞ She spoke after a lot happened between her and Damon. ❝I’m glad that you found your forever person though.❞

“Nothing can just be simple in Mystic Falls, can it?” He chuckled. “Thank you, I appreciate that.”

“Perfect! How about tomorrow?” She questioned raising up a brow about the offer.

“Yeah, tomorrow sounds good. Whatever time works for you. I’m there pretty much all the time.”

     ❝You will be able to. And you will be my husband.❞ She couldn’t help the smile now at this point as she kissed his lips back, bringing a hand up to the side of his face. She was head over heels in love with the man before her.

“Mmmh, I like the sound of that. Husband and Wife.” He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. 

“You can thank me over dinner during a venting time.” She hummed proud of herself of her nickname in his phone as she took hers back and shoved it into her back pocket of her jeans.

“Uh, yeah, dinner, sounds great. You could come by the Grill sometime, it’ll be on the house.” He smiled at her. He figured Hope wouldn’t mind, he was just helping out a friend. 

❝ maybe now? but not in the past ❞ she rolled her eyes ❝ i grew up, realized being a bitch doesn’t get you anywhere. ❞ well, some could come far, she just didn’t see the point in being the person she was before ❝ it will, don’t worry too much about it, landon. i’m sure he’ll turn up sooner or later, he’s probably out there somewhere, it isn’t like we can leave or go too far ❞

“We all grew up, Lizzie. What happened in the past can stay there. It doesn’t define you anymore.” He gave his friend a smile. “Yeah, you’re right. And no matter what I’ll be happy as long as I get to call Hope my wife and officially spend the rest of our lives together.”

     Smiling she nodded her head, ❝It does seem very us doesn’t it. Well Fall it is.❞

“As long as I get to call you my wife by the end of it I will be happy.” He grinned and leaned in to press a gentle kiss to her lips.

     ❝Awe, I’m so happy for you. Congratulations.. again.❞ She softly laughed with a bigger smile on her face now. ❝When did you but the business?❞

“I’ve owned it almost two years now. Maybe I’ll do a special for two years. Like a special drink or a special sandwich... or both?”
