"Will—will you be my girlfriend?"
G-girlfriend? Girlfriend? GIRLFRIEND?!
Oh my gosh, I think I'm about to hyperventilate. Xavier King, the notorious bad boy just asked me to be in a relationship with him. Me. Just, wow.
Do I want to date him? Am I ready for this?
I'm not going to lie, I like Xavier, a lot. Hell, with time, I could love him. He is kind to me, gentle. He knows exactly what to say to me, he knows how to get my heart to practically leap out of my chest.
This beautiful man wants to date me. This man who is just misunderstood by everyone, including me once, wants to be with me. I—I can't even comprehend this.
I want to date him. He's perfect for me. I want him to call me his girlfriend, I want him to smile to me and make me laugh, to hold my hand as we walk down the streets, to cuddle me when I need him.
I want him.
My thoughts continue to go crazy and I don't even realize how long I've been like this until I see Xavier's anxious and defeated look. He thinks I'm taking a long time because I don't want to be with him. Oh god, I'm messing everything up.
"Xavier," I start, not knowing what to say. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of him. Not during this memorable moment. His grey eyes turn hard and cold, his fist clenching at his sides.
"It's fine." He harshly says, turning around. "Forget it."
Oh no, he thinks I'm rejecting him. He's already walking away from me, making me jog to catch up with him.
"Xavier—"
"Don't worry Annabella, I got the message." He interrupts me, coldly telling me that over his shoulder. Letting out a frustrated sigh, I clench my teeth. God dammit Xavier, listen to me!
"Xavier King, stop walking!" I shouted, watching his back stiffen. "Gosh, let me talk."
Xavier slowly turns around, his whole face closed off as he waits for me to talk.
Sighing, I untie my ponytail so I can run a hand through my hair. "I took so long to answer you because my mind was going crazy at the fact you asked me out. I couldn't—no can't—believe you want me to be your girlfriend. How could I say no to being your girlfriend? You have shown me a side to you that nobody else has seen. You believe in me, you make me see a side of myself I haven't even seen. So, to sum it up, yes, I'll be your girlfriend."
I watch as Xavier's face turns into one of pure happiness as he picks me up and twirls me around. Giggling like a maniac, I gaze down at him as he spins me around, my eyes noting the joy in his extraordinary eyes.
