This is my moment

Ramin's POV
I sat at my now empty table people watching. Everybody was having a good time, laughing, dancing and smiling. I should be doing all of that with them, but I couldn't I was sad and alone. It's been seven months since Mandy packed up all her things leaving me and the boys by ourselves. Don't get me wrong I was happy that she left because we were no longer having fun in our relationship, we would snap at each other constantly. When she finally severed me the divorce papers I was extremely happy and was able to breathe say sigh of relief. After two months of being single I decided to do the whole dating game for a while because Sierra told me it would help get my mind off of the divorce. Each blind date that Sierra made me go to I didn't feel comfortable I felt as if I was cheating on someone. It felt like I was cheating Sierra. After the fourth random blind I realized that I am in love Sierra, that's why my marriage with Mandy failed, Mandy wasn't Sierra and Sierra wasn't Mandy, Sierra is Sierra, Sierra is my everything. So here I am dateless and alone at the after party of the Tony's award drinking glass after glass of sodatrying to find the courage in telling Sierra my feelings for her. All night long I had this fake smile plastered on my face so I didn't have to explain my sadness. The strange thing is that I should be extremely happy since I won the Tony but I wasn't able to kiss Sierra when my name was announced, I kissed my boys and gave my speech.
"Oi, Ramin what are you doing in the corner mate. Let's go dance the night and our worries away." My very tipsy friend Hadley said with his tie loosen and his two top buttons undone. Hadley is the only person that knew about my feelings toward Sierra.
"Hey Hadley, looks like you had a little too much to drinkdon't you think?" I grabbed his wine glass and replaced it with class of water. "Nah" he gave a hiccup "I'm fine."
Slurring his last bit of words. "I'm here to tell you-" he pointed his unsteady finger at me, "-that Sierra is looking amazing in her little red dress and black heels." He wiggled his eyebrows at me. "I think it is time for you" he really emphasized 'you' "-to tell her. This is your moment. You won the award, itsabout time you get the girl."
He gave goofy smile while putting his arm around my shoulder. Never in my life would I admit that drunk Hadley finally made some sense. He was right this is my moment I need to tell her but how. I don't want to scare her and make our 10 year friendship go down the drain.
"I do tell Sierra that I love her, how should I do it, I don't want to scare her." I put my head down in embarrassment. I felt as if I was back in high school trying to ask the popular girl to go out with me. "Just do it." He grabbed my shoulders to shake some sense into me. "I don't want to be abrasive about it. I can't go up to her and be like 'Hey Sierra I been in love with you for a long time can you please do me the honor and go out with me?' that would freak her ou-
-You love me Ramin?" I turned around to see Sierra standing behind me with two glasses of soda in shocked. She set down the glasses and ran towards the fire exit.
"God dammit Hadley why didn't you tell me that Sierra was right behind me!?" I was so pissed but yet Hadley was laughing up a storm.
"I'm so sorry Ramin while not really, anyways why are you arguing with me when you should be chasing after your woman." He was right, I needed to go find Sierra before it was too late. "Argh, you're lucky Hadley! I will get you back for this." He just smirked and staggered towards the dance floor.
I grabbed my blazer off the chair and ran towards the same direction Sierra went to. When I made it outside I saw her heels laying next to a fire escape implying she climbed all the way to the top. I started my journey towards the top getting ready to explain the mess I made, even though what I said was true. After climbing the last step and wiping the sweat off my brows I called for Sierra multiple times but no answer was given. I sighed in defeat, this was my one moment and I screwed it all up. I shouted out in angry and in sadness.
"God dammit! Why did I have to be so dumb?" I fell to my knees and cried. Crying in the fact that Sierra would never love me back and crying because I lost my best friend too. "Why god? Why did you do this?" I got up from the rooftop and brushed myself off. I was ready to start my journey back to the streets when I heard a faint sound. "Ramin?" I turned to see Sierra shivering form the cold, she was only wearing her red dress and no shawl. I rushed over to her and putting my jacket over her shoulders trying to warm her up.
"There is that better?" I embraced her in a warm hug put pulled back realizing that she could quite possibly hate me. "Yes thank you" she gave a half smile. "Well I best to get going, you can give me the blazer another time. Night Sierra." I walked towards the fire escape, when I felt a tiny hand grabbed my large hand. "I love you too." I froze in place.
"W-what did you s-say?" she looked at me with her large green eyes. "I said that I love you" she stood up a bit more. "I'm in love with you." she let go of my hand and cupped my face and wiped tears away. When did I start crying?
"Ramin say something? You're scaring me." I grabbed her hand and kissed the inside of her palm.
"I'm in love with you too Sierra, I've been in love with you for a long time and I just been too scared to tell you."
This time I returned the favor and wiped her tears away. I cupped her faces and we stared into each other's eyes. I leaned down and kissed her with so much passion. Our lips moved in sync, I licked her bottom lip asking for entrance she gladly granted. I felt her hands get entangled with my hair, my hands moved down to her backside to press her more into my body. She let out a soft moan and I let out a growl. We finally pulled back gasping for air. "That was amazing Sierra, I've been waiting for a long time to kiss you." she rubbed her fingers across my lips to rub the lipstick off. "Um Ramin, your place or mine?" she looked at me with a little smirk and hint of embarrassment and lust. "Oh umm-" I cleared my throat. "-mine is closer." she nodded in agreement, I picked her bridal style and walked towards the fire escape with the woman I love finally in my arms. This had to be the best moment of the night.
