As The Sun Sets, Erinny Rose [carter reed .txt] 📗

couldn’t sleep a wink, it had been the most perfect day and sleeping meant that it had to end. At least if I couldn’t fool time, I could fool myself. I lay next to him making sure I was close enough to touch his hand just to make sure he wouldn’t disappear and if he did, he would take me with him. But I was disappointed to find that some time in the night; I had drifted of to sleep and woke with James staring at me. “What?” I asked
“You look so peacefully beautiful when you sleep, you’re so silent, I even had to check once or twice to check that you were still alive.” He grinned at me as he pressed his lips against mine, “I love waking up with you and I would like to do it more often”. I smiled in agreement and I knew from now on that my life was changing. “Hey, Lana” James said as he smirked at me “Happy birthday!!”
“What?” I said feeling confused, “it’s not my birthday until the fifteenth of January”
“That’s today”
“No it isn’t”
“Look Lana” he said showing me the date on his phone “yes it is, happy nineteenth birthday!” and before I could protest any further, he scooped me up in his arms and kissed me. It seemed like years had past before he broke off the kiss, he looked straight into my eyes and then said “You Alana South are the love of my life and this will never change.”
The look in his eye was more of a promise than his words, he was sincere and true, I could trust him and I felt safe with him. But that still didn’t resolve my problem, the fact of the matter was that I was also in love with Gabriel but Gabriel had left me and I didn’t know what to do. I felt so happy that I was with James but my heart is breaking with every second that I am away from Gabriel and not knowing where he is kills me. Now all I have to do is choose, Gabriel or James?
