Finding My Happy {COMPLETED}

4.

KIERRA'S POV CONTINUED

Sean and I finally made it to Belle Isle and got out the car. We walked up to the entrance and began walking the trail.

"So are you excited about today's studio session?" Sean asked me.

"I am. It'll be our first time collaborating together so I'm excited. How do you feel about the making of your album?" I asked him.

"I feel good about how it's all coming together with the features and just the overall sound of it. Detroit is my city, so that's why I'm naming it Detroit 2." He said.

"Totallyyyy" I said in my valley girl voice.

After awhile, we walked up to a bench and sat down. We just looked at the water as it crashed against the rocks. We were silent until Sean got closer to me on the bench and wrapped his arm around me. He grabbed my hand and held it in his.

"Sean..." I said softly, looking up at him.

"Hmmm Ki?"

"Why do you do the things you do? We got into an argument the other day for this exact reason. It's like you're affectionate to me more than a best friend should be, so why am I in the friend zone? I don't mean to sound desperate or anything because I'm not, but you're so confusing. Just be real with me." I said.

I wasn't holding back with my feelings this time.

"Do you really want the truth? I've never said this out loud to anyone before. Not even my homies..." He said.

"Sean you can tell me anything. Just don't lie."

"The truth is...I do have feelings for you Kierra, more than a best friend should but it's just that-"

I cut him off.

"What? It's just that I'm not skinny enough to be your girl?" I said. I already knew where this was going to go. I unlocked my hand in his and gave us some space on the bench.

"See! You gotta stop that Ki. There is nothing wrong with how you look. I keep telling you you're perfect in my eyes." He said.

"Okay so what's the but?" I said.

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted..." he glanced at me. "I feel like I'm out of your league so that's why I haven't pursued you."

"Stop playing. How am I outta your league?" I asked him. I didn't really believe what he was saying.

"Look at you! You're smart, educated, beautiful, you sing about the Lord, you're a businesswoman, and you're just an overall amazing woman. I keep saying that I like the way things are because I feel like people won't think I'm worthy enough to be with you." He said.

I was totally caught off guard and left speechless. He really thinks he's not worthy of being with me?

"Sean...I had no clue you really felt that way. I don't want you to think I'm out of your league at all. Why didn't you tell me this when you started feeling this way?" I asked.

"You wanted me to confess my love for you when we were 15? C'mon Ki, I'm sweating like hell telling you this right now." I gave him a slight smile and looked down at my hands. I looked back up at him and his eyes were focused on me.

"Since you were 15 you felt like this? Geez Sean, we're in our 30's. What the heck man!" I lightly punched his arm.

"If I haven't said it clear enough, I really like you Sean and I may joke around and stuff but you're the one who keeps me blushing over the littlest things so I feel the exact same way." I said.
