Always and forever

Fairytale

All day there is been only one thing I could think of and that is Kevin. I have to tell him that I like him before it's too late, but I'm so nervous. I told him that I want to hang out with him after school and after some teasing, he agreed. Kind of wish he hadn't agreed, then I wouldn't be having a heart attack right now.

I see him coming from the gym, all fresh and good looking after working out, he looks good always but after gym, he looks like a piece of art. I feel the blush on my cheeks and if I look up I can see a smirk on Kevin's face. That bastard.

''Thinking about me again, sweetheart?'' He kisses my head after saying that. Bad boys can be sweet too.

''Always have and always will,'' I smirk back at him and I know that he expected a different answer. His mouths fells open and I can see the amusement in his eyes. I have some power in this relationship kind of thing too.

''Well, Em, I know that I'm hot, but I didn't know that I have stalker thanks to that.'' Teasing is his superpower.

''Yeah yeah, don't flatter yourself. Shall we get going?'' I try to smile sweetly. I know some tricks too.

''Yeah, how does ice cream sound?''

''Perfect.''

I know that he can see that I'm nervous. I haven't said anything for 5 minutes and I'm the one who always talks. He gets me out of my thoughts by clearing his throat.

''So what's wrong, you haven't been so quiet like ever. Tell me. You know that you can trust me.'' He sounds sad, I have no idea why but I can sense it. I look him in the eyes and I know that I have to get this off my chest, like now or never. Better before I start to overthink again.

''Well...there is one thing that I have wanted to say to you for some time now and I feel like if I don't say it right away then I never will. So I kind of have to spill it and yeah I am nervous about this..,'' and in the middle of my speech, he kisses me, leaving me speechless.

''Em, calm down, take a deep breath and then start to talk.'' He gives me one of his cute smiles and I melt, like many other girls... Deep breath

''So Kevin, I know that we hated each other, but after some time we started to get along and now...'' I can't look at him,'' I think that I have fallen for you...'' silence takes place and for some reason, I'm afraid to look up. What if he doesn't like me back? What he doesn't want to have anything to do with me? What if he left?

Finally, I push myself to look up and all I can see is his eyes, I feel like they can see me through. I don't know we have sitten like this but I decide to speak.

''Look, Kevin, I totally understand if you don't feel the same way, but I had to get this off from my chest. You know what, maybe this was a mistake. I need to go.'' I take my things and almost out of the shop, Kevin opens his mouth and start to say the things that will change my word or destroy it.

''Em, wait, I... I love you. I have for some time now and hearing from you that you feel the same way left me speechless. I was so afraid that you wouldn't want me. Like sure we have made out but we haven't actually talked about being together or our feelings.'' He hugs me and same time lifts me up and spins around. My smile hasn't been bigger, like ever.

After he puts me down I say the only thing I have wanted to say for a long time, ''I love you too, Kev.'' First kiss after these words... I'm under his spell.

Somebody starts to clap and then there are more and more claps coming. I pull back from Kevin and look around. All the people from ice cream shop is standing up and clapping... for us.. for our love. Kevin pulls me into a side hug and kisses my head. This is the place I want to be and I haven't been happier.
