Geese Floating

Chapter Three

"I-I don't understand? OneDirectionLover69, I mean Belle, what- what are you doing here?", Kenz whispered, aghast.

"What do you mean what am I doing here? You said you were hurt! Of course I came as fast I could. I would have been here sooner, but you know how traffic can be.", Belle replied with a careless shrug.

"How did you even know where I lived and- and how did you even get here? You're only fifteen!"

"Oh my dear, Goose. I'm so sorry I wasn't upfront about finding your address and noticing you lived in my state. I just didn't want to scare you. About getting here... well I'm so sorry to admit I lied about my age. I'm sixteen and have my driver's license."

Kenz couldn't believe his ears. Did that mean he had a crush on someone older? A beautiful person with flowing purple hair that matched their glowing lilac eyes.

"I can't believe this. It's hard to hear that the person I fell in love with is a liar!", Kenz startled both of them with his admission and outburst.

"Oh, oh, Kenz! I love you too! I love you with all my aching heart. I live for you, truly."

"No, I can't hear this now. My soul is fragile and I'm in pain, bleeding.", Kenz softly but firmly replied back, as a tear came down his face.

"Goose, oh no. You are bleeding, aren't you? Please just let me help you get cleaned up. All I want to do is care for you, please.", Belle begged.

Kenz reluctantly opened the door more allowing Belle to take a better look at his injuries.

"All your hands need is some antiseptic and bandages. I'm afraid that the cuts on your feet are deep and will need to be stitched. Luckily for you I'm great at sewing. I can't imagine this is much different.", Isabelle said with a slight tilt to their lips.

Belle went off the the bathroom they had spotted and grabbed all the necessary supplies. They returned with their hands full and immediately got to work cleaning Kenz's injuries.

Kenz watched Belle with a careful interest. He could still feel longing in his heart but it was tinged with the sting of betrayal. He questioned himself if he could forgive Belle and he didn't think he'd have a choice. He loves them.

Belle looked up and met Kenz's eyes as if they could read all his thoughts. The love shared between the two was anything but subtle. How did they fall so deeply for each other so quickly, while barely realizing it.

Kenz looked down at Belle on their knees before him and gently stroked their cheek. Belle quickly looked back up, shocked at the affectionate gesture.

"I- I forgive you. I love you, OneDirectionLover69.", Kenz professed.

"Oh, you have no idea how happy that makes me. It feels like the first day of my life just began. I love you so much, Goose."

Belle leaned over and kissed Kenz's knee. They whispered, "Thats all I'll do for now. I know you're not ready for more and that's okay. I'll wait."

Kenz felt all consumed by his love and appreciation for Belle. Everything was changing so fast. What would his friends think?
