Secret Keeper

Crazy For U

It's the next morning now and I'm sitting on my bed contemplating whether or not I should tell Savannah how I feel or if I should wait when the sound of my phone ringing knocks me out of my thoughts. I pick up the phone and Savannah answers. "Hey," I say into the phone. "Hey, babe, how you doing today?" "Eh, I'm alright, I didn't sleep much, how about you?" "Well now I'm not okay, why didn't you sleep much, that's not good for you,"

       "I know, I just had a lot on my mind," I say. "Like what?" "No--" "Wait, hold that thought, I'm coming over and then you can tell me everything," She says as she hangs up. 10 minutes later I hear the doorbell ring and Charlie opening it. "Hey Char, is Syd in her room?" Savannah asks. "Yeah, she's a little out it though. Just go ahead but NO funny business and keep the door open," Charlie says closing the door. The next thing I know, Savannah is walking in my room and sitting next to me on the bed. She pulls me into her arms and kisses my forehead. "What happened baby?"

       "Nothing..." "Syd, tell me what's wrong please... I won't know how to make you feel better until you tell me..." I pull away and she frowns. "I-I-I... I love you Savannah..." "Yo-you love me?" She asks. I nod my head. She wraps her arms back around me and pulls me as close as possible. She puts her mouth close to my ear as she says, "I love you too Syd and I don't know what took me so long to figure it out. I'm crazy for you and I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner..." "Oh Sav... It's okay, I know you aren't very good at expressing emotions and neither am I..." She lets go of me and I frown but then she pulls me into a kiss.

       I smile into the kiss but quickly pull away when I hear Charlie coming up the stairs. I move as far as possible so Charlie doesn't say anything which leaves Sav with a sad look. I give her an apologetic look as Charlie comes in. "I'm going to Owen's and I'm probably not coming back tonight. Savannah is to be out of this apartment by 11 and you in bed by midnight. I love you sis, have fun!" Charlie says. I smile at him. "Got it, I love you too," I say as he walks out. A couple minutes later, I hear the front door close. "So, what do you wanna do, mon chéri?" I ask.

      "That's new," She says laughing. "It means "my darling" in French. Do you like it?" "Woah Syd, I didn't know you spoke French," she says. "Yeah, Charlie taught me." "Say something else!" "Il n'y a pas assez d'étoiles dans le ciel pour décrire l'amour que j'ai pour toi," (There aren't enough stars in the sky to describe my love for you) I say. "What'd you say?" "That, mon amour, shall remain a secret." (My love) "Aw c'mon, I wanna know," She says. "No, secret..." I say. "Aw fine," She says.
