I will see you in my Dreams

Chapter 8 We will support your decision Hannah.

I have been discovering a lot of things about my Hannah, Ari said.

In the coming days….you'll learn more about her. She's smart, loving, and understanding. We love her and whoever will hurt her will answer to us. Ley said.

Wow, that is so sweet, Ley, Hannah said. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

I hear you, Ley…..rest assured that I will take care of her. I guarantee all of you. Ari said.

Thank you Ari for that, it means a lot to us….Coney said. We are very protective of Hannah, she was hurt in the past, we don't want a repeat. Please understand.

I am speechless, thank you for the love guys….. Hannah said. It's my turn to ask Ari, Nel said. We learned that you've been in several relationships after the divorce….are you willing to choose one tree over the entire forest Ari?

All eyes are on Ari, even the guys.

The very first time I've seen that lovely face, I fell in love right away. She captivates my heart. I tried to fight it off because I was married then. It was very difficult for me when we said goodbye's but at that time I thought that maybe, just maybe someday, our path will cross again at the right time. Now, I am capable of offering and ask her to be my woman. I am hoping she will not reject me. I have been dreaming about Hannah since the first day we met. It continues for many years. It's part of my life. I was unfair to the woman that I had a relationship with after my divorce because my heart, soul, and mind belong to Hannah only. Ari paused for a while.

Believe me……There was a time that during intimacy, I called her name…we are all adults here, right! I am not supposed to mention that, but for transparency and honesty, I have to. It's been a mystery to me. God knows I tried to look for Hannah for years. I always think that everything happens for a

reason. I cannot commit to any of the women I dated. I am always searching for someone, and I know that I am looking for her. I am confident that this is the right time. Both of us are free. I am a staunch believer in destiny. I understand your doubts, guys, I really do, but give me a chance to prove my love, give us a chance.

Hannah is misty-eyed. Hiding from her shell again….digesting the words that Ari confessed to her and to all of her friends. She is in a trance.

All are focused on Ari's ….what a loving declaration of faith, love, and care for Hannah.

That is great Ari….I believe you, I have faith in both of you. We are always here on the sidelines….supporting you guys! That is all Nel can utter.

The exchanges of fun stories continue…..

More wine and beers. Cheers! Salute! Here here…..

Ari is so fond of touching Hannah's hair and kissing her forehead. Holding her hands, caressing and circling her hand on her back, and staring at her. Everyone notices that. Sometimes Hannah is embarrassed but Ari continues to do it, its like sending a message to all that….she's mine and mine alone.

Ari's POV

I will do my very best to make you happy Hannah, I waited for this moment for many many years. Now, that I found you, you will stay beside me until the day we perished on earth. If there's a need to wrap you next to me, I will do it so we will be together. That is how I cherish you. Call me selfish, I can live with that. I will always be selfish when it comes to you, Hannah. You are born to be with me forever. I burn for you always. I will be obedient and faithful to you. You complete me.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, the guys are getting drunk and the ladies tired and weary already.

Ari and Hannah are still whispering sweet nothing watching their friends wasting away.

It's time to go…getting late as Jack interrupted the karaoke night. He is wasted too. So it is Sam who will drive Ari to his house. They said goodnight and the girls went inside the cottage. The guy continues to drink beer.
