I had been working as a makeup artist on nxt for nearly a year now along side my sister Emmy. As sisters got we were pretty close and we shared the same likes and dislikes, well except for on thing - Dexter.

When I had first started here I had spotted him standing in the corridor looking at me and Emmy had instantly warned me off, she found him weird becuase he doesn't talk he just stares silently at people.

I on the other hand found him sweet and intriguing, and when he had asked me out by presenting me with a drawing of the two of us having dinner I said yes without a second thought.

Dexter and I had been on a few dates much to my sisters displeasure and despite her warnings something just kept pulling me to him. True our dates weren't conventional the conversation was one sided but I found that Dexter could say so much with just a look and his feelings were visible in his beautiful blue eyes.

Walking into the makeup room and approaching my table my eyes immediately fall on the beautifully decorated envelope sat there, smiling I pick it up know who it's from before I even open it. I carefully slide out the piece of paper to reveal a drawing of Dexter and I watching a movie.

"Are you still seeing him?" My sister asks disgust in her voice

"Yes I am" I say smiling at the drawing

"Why would you want to hang around with that weirdo?" She asks "he doesn't even speak he just stares, it's creepy"

"You don't even know him" I snap "maybe if you gave him a chance you'd see he's not as weird as you think"

"You don't know him either" she says "you can't possibly know him, how can you know anything about him if he doesn't tell you"

"He may not speak but he can type" I say "he tells me things via text or sometimes he writes letters"

"Has he told you why he doesn't speak?" She asks

"No and I haven't asked" I say "but I'm sure he will when he's ready"

"Y/n you need to stop seeing him" she says "no good can come of it"

"I'm not going to stop seeing him Emmy" I say as my eyes fill with tears "why can't you just be happy for me? He makes me happy and I....."

"Don't you dare say you love him" she snaps

"Fine" I snap before walking out the room

As I walk down the corridor I have no real idea of where I am going or what I am doing I just needed to get out of there and away from her, why couldn't she just be happy for me? Why couldn't she just let us be?

Lost in thought I slam straight into something solid when I look up I find a pair of beautiful blue eyes staring down at me.

"Dexter" I smile "Thank you for the drawing it was beautiful and I would love to go to a movie with you"

Dexter looks at me his icy blue stare laced with worry, silently he reaches out and wipes a tear from my eye, he looks at the tear drop on his finger and then back at me.

"I'm alright" I say placing a hand on his bicep "I just had a row with my sister, she keeps telling me to stay away from you but I don't want to, I just wish she would understand"

Dexter wraps his arms around me and pulls me to him, as I rest my head against his chest he gently rubs my back before kissing the top of my head. After a moment he let's go and looks down at me, nodding he walks away leaving me standing there.

An hour later

When I had finally calmed down I head back to the makeup room and find my sister leaning against her table with Dexter standing in front of her.

"What's going on?" I ask looking between them

"I was just apologising to Dexter" she says "after you left I went after you, I saw you two together, I saw how he was with you, how happy you looked and I realised I wrong about him" she sighs "y/n I'm sorry, I should have trusted your judgement, now I may not understand this no talking thing, but I understand that you two have something special and I'm not going to get in the way of that"

"Thank you" I say hugging her tightly

"Can you forgive me?" She asks and I smile

"Of course I can" I say "I understand you were just looking out for me"

"I'm going to leave you two to it" she says stepping back from me and smiling "becuase I think Dexter has something he wants to tell you"

Emmy leaves and I turn to look at Dexter, his eyes have that soft stare about them and I swear there is a hint of smile on his face. Stepping closer to me he takes my hand in his, slowly he raises my hand and places it over his heart putting his own hand over the top of mine.

I look from his hand to his beautiful blue eyes and I smile at him knowing exactly what he is telling me "I love you too Dexter" I say as he wraps his arms around me, he slowly leans down and presses his lips gently against mine for our first kiss.

Dexter may be quiet but he doesn't need to speak becuase his eyes and his actions tell me more than words ever could.
