[tate]
his lips smashed into mine as my heart stopped. he kissed me passionately as my hand cupped his cheek. he pulled my waist closer to him as i kissed back. every kiss was full of love and affection. i never wanted to stop kissing him. i just wanted to keep on kissing him over and over again. he parted away and smiled at me.
"you have no idea how long i wanted to do this"
i didn't say anything else as i kissed him again. he brushed my hair out of my face as he finally stopped.
"god you're so cute tatum"
my heart fluttered at the sound of my name. it was just the way he said it. it was that feeling that you yourself meant something to someone else. it was that feeling where i just fell in love with him over and over again. my hand tangled in his hair as i brushed it with my fingers. he kissed my forehead as i pulled him into a hug. he squeezed me back tighter as i felt warm. i felt warm with his presence next to me. how his tie tickled my chest and how his jacket draped over my shoulders to keep me warm. he rested his chin on my head as his hug showed how tall he was which made me feel protected and safe. i closed my eyes as he swayed back and forth. it was both comforting and adorable.
"jonah?" i said sleepily.
his hugs and sways could make me fall asleep.
"yes?" he whispered gently.
his voice was soft and loving.
"...what do you see in me?"
he looked up as his hands trailed down my arms to my waist and hips. he rubbed his hands up and down to keep me from being cold.
"what i see in you is the girl that who tries her upmost to make everyone happy. i see the most beautiful angel that is smart funny and caring. she doesn't know the difference between vodka and water but i love her dummy self. but at the end of the day..." he stops.
"...i see the girl i'm in love with."
my eyes started to pool into tears. jonah wiped a tear from my cheek as he kissed it. his lips were pillowy and soft.
"don't cry tate" he said squishing my face in a cure way.
"...i'm crying because i didn't know you felt that way about me" i stammered through tears.
he pecked my lips as he touched our heads together.
"...tate i think about you ever since i bumped into you in the halls"
"you do?"
he nodded.
"your pretty blonde brunette hair and your gorgeous eyes. the day you had your hair down in your face where you were just tired and wanted to go home. that's the moment i just stopped to look at you and think that...god she's so cute oh my god"
i laughed as he wiped a few more of my tears away.
"you don't need to cry" he said with soft eyes.
"i don't deserve you"
"yes you do."
he leaned in for another kiss.
"why?"
"...because i love you."
another tear fell from my cheek.
"i-i love you t-too" i stuttered.
he hugged me as he fixed my baby hairs.
"tatum you have like black stuff under your eyes"
i opened my phone and groaned.
"mascara jonah"
i grabbed a makeup wipe from my purse and wiped it away.
"how did you get rid of your eye bags?"
"mascara!" i laughed as he rolled his eyes.
"same thing makeup is weird"
he held my hand as we walked back into the gym. gabbie waved at us.
"hi lovebirds" she giggled.
jo blushed as he kissed my cheek.
"i'll be right back ok?" he said.
i nodded as he walked to his friends. she gasped.
"wait the fuck? are you guys together?"
jack walked up to gabbie holding a drink. he looked at me and then back at jonah.
"wheres your boyfriend?" he said with a smile.
"boyfriend?!" she squealed.
"gabs calm down!" i whispered.
the lights dimmed as gabs put her drink down.
"jack dance with me"
"i can't dance"
"i don't care"
they walked to the dance floor as i felt a tap on my shoulder. i turned around.
"corbyn?" i said happily.
"hey tater tot" he laughed as i hugged him.
as i pulled away i saw christina next to him.
"hi i'm tatum"
"hi" she replied sweetly.
corbyn blushed. i gave him the look.
"oh shut up" he laughed as i clapped my hands together.
"nah i'm just playing go have fun"
"corby i'll be right back ok?"
"ok" he said as he kissed her.
as soon as she moved i bumped his shoulder.
"so?"
"oh be quiet"
i giggled as i looked at jack and gabbie dancing.
"dance with me" i said.
"no"
"corbyn you don't have an excuse i know you can dance"
he huffed as he grabbed my hand to the middle of the gym.
"where's your mans?" he smirked.
i twirled around.
"he's over there with his friends"
"did you guys dance yet?"
i smiled.
"...we kissed corbs"
"you what?!" he squealed.
"corbyn!"
"sorry i got excited!"
he laughed as he moved to the right.
"so it's official?"
i shrugged.
"oh don't give me that" he groaned.
"look i'm not sure yet"
"well from the looks of it your probably going to be in his pants so-"
i stepped on his foot as he flinched.
"the fuck?" he whispered.
"as if you and christina?"
"hey don't bring her in this ok?"
i giggled as the song ended and christina came back.
"have fun lovebirds" i mimicked gabbie's voice.
jonah walked up to me.
"dance with me?" he smiled.
i took ahold of his hand as he couldn't stop staring at me.
"...what?" i finally acknowledged.
he blushed looking away for a slight second.
"...i love you tatum" he said brushing his nose to mine.
i smiled as i kissed his lips.
"i love you more jonah marais"
