That Girl With Bubblegum Hair

Seven Minutes To The Moon - Two [p11]

TW - A dirty joke

I was planning on writing only 2 chapters today, but somehow that ended up doubled...

So including this one, I have written 4 parts in a day....should I feel proud or?? Idk, but here's the story: 

[ Recap: "I AM!" ]

Mina POV -

Her sudden movement shocks me. Her hands are gripped onto my ankles as she tells me to stay, after a few seconds I obey. 

Her hands are warm around my ankles; I notice that her hands are sweating. She's nervous about something.  

I feel an urge to make sure that she is okay, to comfort her in any way that I can. But even if I wasn't still practically in shock and unable to utter a word, I wouldn't. I can tell she has something she needs to say, and I don't want to ruin her confidence while she still has it. 

"I LIKE YOU! LIKE LIKE YOU LIKE YOU..."

The abrupt rush of words shocks me even more. I don't know how to respond so I just sit there on her shoulders wide-eyed and speechless as she throws up her feelings.

I know I should be listening to what she has to say, but the first line is all I can hear. Playing loop upon loop through my head. 

"I LIKE YOU! LIKE LIKE YOU LIKE YOU..."

It only makes my newly found feeling grow stronger. 

The urge to talk to her, to hug her... to be by her side only grow stronger.

"I understand if this makes you not want to hang out with me anymore... and I won't blame you if are mad at me for thinking that you are bi lik-like me...And I-"

"I AM!" I blurt out "I am, and-and I do" 

After a second of silence, I realize what I just said. I blush, rushing to try and fix my mistake.

"I do as in I do feel the same way" I what I meant to and was going to say, but I don't get the chance to fix my phrasing before Iris laughs and speaks up again. 

"What, you say your wedding vows? You wanna be my wife or something?" She laughs. I see an opening and go for it, all while admiring how she is able to lighten up such a tense and uncomfortable mood so easily.

"Maybe being your wife is jumping the gun a bit...But I would gladly be your girlfriend" 

I say the words, now grasping at the realization that I've wanted to say those words since the day I met her. At the realization that so much can change in just three days, and that 'love at first sight' doesn't only happen in movies or fanfictions...

(we got some breaking the fourth wall action going on~ )

...But it also happens in life...

That it happened in my life. 

"I do" It's so quiet that it's almost a whisper, but all that matters is that she said it. That I heard her say it. 

"Look who's saying their vows now?" I tease, going to pat her head but then I have a different Idea. 

She IS my girlfriend now, so I can get away with this.

Slowly placing a hand on both of her cheeks I turn her head up to face me. I lean down to kiss her forehead...
