“No buts. Tell me we aren’t meant for each other.” There is silence. “Exactly baby, and deep down you know it.”

“No! Yes, maybe, but what the?”

I suddenly feel calm, and finally, my life feels complete. I look across NYC, and the city I call my home. It is a city I have also conquered, where many have failed.

“Lorenzo?”

I stare across Manhattan, and I feel high. I’m not drunk, I just have it all worked out. I do however feel her eyes on me.

“Yes darling,” I say looking back at her.

“You. Are. A. Crazy. Arsehole.”

“You’ve always known that, baby. You love me for it, and I you.” I lift Storm’s hand, and I kiss her knuckles. I hold her chin in my other hand, and my eyes find hers. “We are meant for eachother, and you know I’ll protect, and worship you. I’ll also do it until the end of time.”

Our eyes meet, and they hold.

This is it.

That night,in bed, we have the most intense sex, ever. As I take Storm, she, as much takes me. For the first real time,we make love,all night.

We do not fuck, at all.

It feels different, and it is different. It’s as if, like in a ritual, we cross some kind of invisible line. Or we are truly becoming one, and joined forever.

As we look deep into each other’s eyes, we slowly pleasure each other. It is not our usual brutal or savage sex. And we do not look at, or see anything else.

I am lost in the Storm.

I’ve never met anyone so uncomplicated, so beautiful, so pure, and so unselfish. I know Storm is the one, and I know I need to protect her from all the chaos in the world.

From now on, I will dedicate my life to looking after her, and only her.

As we come together, our fingers are laced tight, and our spirits unite.

As far as I am concerned, the deal is done, andwe are one.All without words, and a piece of paper. Anything else will simply be a formality.

We were alreadyone.

United.

Together.

Forever.

STORM

I awaken early, and I walk onto our rooftop. I check on Falcon, and I crouch at his side. After, I walk to the corner of the roof with my coffee, and I stand high next to the stone eagle.

As the sun rises, I hold the eagle’s wing.

I cannot believe last night, or the amazing sex. Even if it’s incredible, and exciting, it feels like things are spinning out of control.

I am so caught up inus, I’m nervous. I love Lorenzo with all of my heart, but things are moving fast.

The energy we create together, is intense, and maybe too intense.
