Unexpected

• Chapter Fifty-Five •

"I mean you already knew, so why do you sound so shocked?"

I grab Abel's shoulders and shake him, "Because they didn't tell me!"

"Calm down!" He yells back. Underneath his breathe, I hear him mutter 'crazy woman.'

I shoot him a glare, "I heard that."

"You were supposed to babe." He says smugly.

A few minutes later, Abel pulls me to him as close as possible and wraps his arms around me forcing me to lean my head on his shoulder.

"You just can't keep your hands off me can you?" I ask with a smirk.

"When it comes to you, never."

As the different songs come on, I can hear Abel singing the words to himself but since I'm so close to him, I can hear it as well. He has such a beautiful voice and I don't get to hear it nearly as much as I'd like too. So rather than commenting on it, I smile to myself and listen while thinking about how adorable it is.

When the movies over, Abel drives us to the spot since neither of us feel like going home. Plus, it's also like our usual hangout place just for the two of us. The amount of times we've come here is unbelievable.

We're both sitting with our feet dangling over the edge when Abel leaves to get something from his car.

When he returns, he's holding his guitar while looking extremely nervous.

"Was that guitar in your car?" I ask.

"No, I just drove home to get it in under five minutes." He replies sarcastically.

"Ha ha. You're so funny." I respond dryly.

Abel takes a seat away from the edge of the cliff and places his guitar in his lap. I copy his actions and make sure that my focus is directly on him.

"I've been wanting to show you this for sometime now but I was never sure when the right time was." He nervously scratches the back of his head and clears his throat.

"You don't have to show me Abel. Not if you don't want to."

"No I do baby. I really do."

He runs his hands through his hair and places his fingers in position on the guitar and begins.

You shine out so bright, you're the light of my life

You're the cure to my pain and the one that I trust

Without you next to me, I'm just a shell of who i am

Cause you're my other half baby, the one that completes me

You make me go crazy, but i definitely wouldn't change it

Because,

The best feeling I've ever known,

Is loving you you you

The one that I can't get out of my mind

The one that i'd leave everything behind

For youuuuu

Cause there's nowhere else that I'd rather be

Then having your arms wrapped around me

You have the whole of my heart, my body and my soul

You don't even try but you make me feel whole

I need you to know how beautiful you are

And every time that I look at you, I almost fall apart

You shine like a star and you glow in the dark

And I trust in you with all of my heart

Because,

The best feeling I've ever known,

Is loving you you you

The one that I can't get out of my mind

The one that i'd eave everything behind

For youuuuu

As Abel sings to me, I swear I melt into a puddle at his feet. He clearly mentioned love in there and I don't know if he truly meant that or if that's part of the song.

Pools of water gather in my eyes and despite my tries, each one falls down my cheeks like raindrops.

Abel finishes singing and places his guitar next to him before wiping away my tears. He grabs my hand in his and starts speaking softly.

"Brown Eyes, you haven't been in my life for very long yet it feels like a lifetime to me. Before I even stepped foot in this place, you were the first person I met and instantly took a liking to you and your adorable personality. You're the constant reason for my joy and I've never felt anything more beautiful than being the one you decided to spend your days with. I love you so so much baby. You own my heart and you have for a very long time. I am completely and utterly consumed by you and only you."

He loves me.

Abel loves me.

I feel like I'm floating on cloud 9 right now. I don't know how to express how I'm feeling and it feels like I'm about to explode with happiness.

My hearts pounding rapidly against my chest while I'm feeling a mixture of both excitement and adoration.

"Y-you love me?" I ask with glistening eyes.

"Without a doubt Brown Eyes."

I throw my arms around Abel's neck and pull him close, "I love you too." I whisper.

He leans back from me slightly to stare into my eyes, "Say it again."

"I love you Abel."

"Those are officially my favourite words." He says with the biggest smile on his face.

"I can tell." I say with a giggle, "I wasn't sure how I was going to tell you you know. But you gave me the perfect opportunity today."

"I've loved you for a long time now Keziah. Since before the whole Eliza situation. I fell for you fast and hard but I don't regret it. I'm in awe of you and the way you make me feel."

What am I even supposed to say to things like that? Abel has such a way with words and it constantly leaves me speechless. I wouldn't change that though; it's so endearing.

"But that was ages ago. That was on New Years." I say feeling flabbergasted.

"I know it was but you made it so easy to fall in love with you."

"Then why did you wait so long to tell me?" I wonder.

Abel scratches his head, "I guess I was unsure about it. I've never felt so deeply about someone like I do for you so it shocked me. And besides, I wasn't sure you were ready for that."

He's probably right. I only realised I've fallen for him a few weeks ago. If he had told me so early on, I probably would have freaked.

"Either way, I'm happy."

"And I'm so incredibly lucky."
