DON’T LET ME GO

als made me happy and before I knew it I pulled Brandon towards where the monkeys were being kept. ”Aren they beautiful? ” I asked him but he just stared at me and said ”yes you
e beautiful. ” I was insure what to say after that bold statement of his so we both stared at each other until we were interrupted by an old woman, ”Oh dear, I can see the love this young man has for you my child, I was once like that in my youth, young man make sure to protect your wife at all costs. ” She told us lovingly, ”Thank you grandma. ” I told her while Brandon nodded at her after which she went off, it was then that i noticed most people were staring at us and some were even taking photos but since Brandon wasn bothered by it I decided to leave it be. I was feeding the giraffes when Brandon said he had something to do and that he would be back shortly, I was a bit curious about what he went to do but I knew I couldn pry too much into his life so I just went on with what I was doing until I heard my name from behind but when I turned to see who it was I was met with a huge panda teddy bear being held by someone. The closer the the person moved toward me the more I realised it looked like Brandon. He moved the panda away from his face and when he was close enough to me he said, ” It seemed to me you like teddy bears since you willingly volunteered to be my teddy although I ended up being yours, ”He chuckled, ”Anyways I got this for you Amy incase I won always be there to be your teddy bear. ” I smiled at his cute gesture and swallowed back the tears forming in my eyes as I collected the panda from him, ”Thank you Brandon, I love it. ” I said as I gave him a hug with the panda between us, I was aware of our surroundings only after I heard cheers and claps from the people around us as most took photos and videos. Noticing my tears, Brandon wiped my eyes and held my hand again as we walked back to the car. I wouldn mind him holding my hand everytime.

~ BACK AT THE MANSION ~

”Thank you for today, I had fun. ” I told Brandon as we lay on the bed both unable to get any sleep, ”You
e welcome but theres no need to thank me, I am your husband after all and its my duty to make you happy. ” He said. I was happy that he willing to give this marriage a try and the effort he puts in is evident.

”Do you need me to be your teddy bear this night? ” He asked mischievously but I new better than to lose this mental game to him so I just hugged him tightly and said, ”Thanks for the offer. ”

I felt him stiffen once I hugged him but soon enough he got comfortable and relaxed, he even hugged me back and we fell asleep like that.
