#Chapter336
What do you say?
Larkin
My heart was beating out of my chest. Maverick asked me to be his girlfriend. I remembered what Elena said, /"The right one will catch you. They will protect you. They will be the one who loves you when you’re damaged./"
Maverick loved me even when I didn’t love myself or also like myself. What did I have to lose?
/"Well?/" Maverick asked.
/"Yes,/" I said in a whisper, /"on one condition./"
/"What’s that?/"
/"That you never give up on me./"
/"Oh, baby, I’ll never give up on you./" He placed his hands on my face and pulled my lips to his. His kiss was loving. I have never felt this way with anyone.
I placed my hands on him as he kissed me. Then he pulled back and put his forehead against mine. /"I’ll take such wonderful care of you./"
/"I know./" I smiled, surprising him.
/"You have a beautiful smile./"
/"Oh?/"
/"Yep, Larkin, you are beyond beautiful./"
