Remember May (GxG)

30. I Love You

I was beyond terrified, even more than the first time I'd gone to see her after being so mean to her.

I didn't care much for what she'd say, I just needed her to know where I stood. It was more about telling my truth and putting it out there. It was about putting fear behind me.

She was alone at home and I was grateful for that. Her eyes looked sad, I remember that.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"For what?" She asked quietly, her eyes glued to mine as if she was challenging me.

"Everything," I sighed, "I'm sorry for what I've put you through. You didn't deserve that."

She nodded but didn't say anything so I went on.

"The past few weeks... have been hard. See, I had a plan. Since I was a child, I've had a plan for my entire life. I wanted to have a relationship like the one my ma and pa had. I was supposed to have two children with my husband, a boy and girl. We'd have a cat and a dog, and they would get along," she laughed lightly but her eyes still looked so sad, "but then I met you."

"And?" She coerced.

"You weren't supposed to be in the plan, Zaza," I said my voice barely above a whisper, "you're a girl, you're not supposed to be..." I shut my eyes pushing away the dread I felt at the thought.

"I'm not saying that I'm completely okay with this, frankly I still have a long way to go. I know that can be a lot and you don't have to carry it if you don't want to but...that cabin you talked about, can we have a garden in the back and grow strawberries?"

She took in a deep breath and then she started crying. I didn't know why she was crying but it made me cry too.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

I nodded, trying my best to smile between the tears.

"I can't... I can't stop thinking about you, Zaza. I thought it would go away but every time I'm doing anything I find myself wishing that I was doing it with you. I'm still afraid, I don't know what this will do to me, to us, but I'm no longer afraid of telling you that I love you. God I love you so much, I've loved you since we were kids and every day I love you even more."

"Bub..." she pulled me to my feet before hugging me tightly, "I love you too, so much."

She pulled her face away from the crook of my neck and rested her forehead against mine, "Why are we crying?"

"I don't know," I laughed, "but sometimes people cry when they're happy."

"I am happy."

"Me too," she smiled and then her eyes didn't look so sad anymore, "I'm scared that this might be a dream."

I shook my head, "then we won't wake up."
