Aven's POV:
I think my face is still flushed while we're getting in the car.
What did Leanne even mean? 'Mating like rabbits'
Why would she even say that?
My thoughts are cut off by a hand being placed on my thigh, "you ok?" Ezekiel whispers.
I clear my throat, "yeah," I chuckle, "I'm all good. Are you?"'
He smiles up at me, "yeah, I am now you're next to me again."
I can only smile back at him; I don't trust my voice to say the right thing without blurting out everything I'm thinking.
The car is filled with laughter the whole ride back and I can't help but think how beautiful Ezekiel looks when he laughs.
*Time skip*
We get back to work just to check on how everything has been running since we were gone, and the whole way there I couldn't stop thinking about how I should tell Ezekiel how I feel.
Where is the appropriate place and time, what can I say to him, what if he doesn't like me back?
I let out a shaky breath and grab his hand to stop him from going inside.
"You ok V?" he asks gently, eyes searching my face for any sign of what I'm about to say.
"I just wanted to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while," I say as more of a question.
"Of course," he steps towards me taking my other hand in his, "whenever you're ready," he smiles.
"I don't want this to affect our friendship and that's why its taken me so long to tell you," I say closing my eyes and hoping this doesn't blow up in my face, "I like you Z, I like you so much. Everything about you makes my whole world light up and I cant imagine life without you," I start, squeezing my eyes shut tighter when I feel him tighten his hold my hands, "I want to try a relationship with you if you want it. I don't know what this means for me and I have been struggling to figure out who I am, but every time I'm with you none of that matters," I open my teary eyes to look into his, "all I know is that I am seriously falling for you."
I prepare myself for so many different reactions, and hold my breath while I wait for him to say something, or slap me, or do anything.
He takes his hands out of mine and new tears run down my cheeks.
Fuck. Ive messed everything up. He doesn't feel the same.
My thoughts are interrupted and before I can run away, he puts his hands on my cheeks and his eyes meet mine again, I notice he has tears running down his cheeks too.
"I'm so proud of you for telling me," He says, just above a whisper, "I have been wanting to tell you since my birthday when we were by the lake."
My eyes widen when I realise that hes saying he feels the same, "you don't hate me?" I whisper
"I could never hate you."
"Can i?" I whisper looking down at his lips, he nods his head softly as my hands find their way to his waist to pull him in.
Our lips meet and it feels like every scary thought in my mind of rejection disappears. He's mine.
I pull him closer as our lips dance together and his hands run through my hair.
I pull away to breathe and he rests his face in the crook of my neck when I wrap my arms around him. I feel like I'm home.
While we're in the elevator on our way to our office he grabs my hand, both of us smiling at each other. I can't believe I waited this long but I'm so happy he's finally mine and I'm his.
