Heart or Head, Feelings or Thoughts -Sokeefe v. Sophitz(Discontinued)

Dex- The Feeling Is Mutual

"Marella? Why are you here?" I hear Bex shout outside.

Marella? Why IS she here? I don't remember having any plans with her today.

I go barreling down the stairs before Marella gets asked any more stupid questions the triplets come up with.

"It's me! Your savior of the stupid three," I announce as I get outside.

"Oh, hi Dex." She stutters out blushing.

Weird, Marella, blushing? They don't usually go together.

"Can we go to your room? I have to talk to you, and the chat doesn't need an audience." She returns.

"Of course." I answer before turning to Bex and scolding, "If you phase into my room to eavesdrop I will get you grounded!"

Bex just smirked as Marella and I raced up to my room.

"I plan to make a device that I can use to keep her from being able to phase through my walls, I just haven't gotten around to it, y'know," I explain to Marella once I close the door behind her. "To what do I owe this surprise visit?"

She definitely isn't excited to tell me, I see it in her posture. Also, when she audibly swallows and visibly deflates at the reminder is a dead give away.

"Maruca kinda forced me to come here," she started. "To tell you that I LIKE YOU!"

I did NOT expect THAT. I feel my cheeks warm, my whole face if probably redder than a tomato.

"I-" she cuts me off.

"It was a dare," she laughs nervously, "I don't actually."

It's my turn to deflate.

"Oh. Cool, do I need to like hail Maruca to tell her you completed the dare?" Tears are trying to escape my eyes but I refuse to let them.

"No, you don't have to. I'll just tell her later." 

I nod. I thought she actually returned my feelings. "Who do you like?" I try to ask casually.

She was caught off guard and swallowed again. "Umm...... Who do YOU like?"

"IwasgoingtosayIlikedyoutoountilyousaiditwasadaretotellmesonowIknowyoudontfeelthesameway." I mutter really fast.

She blushes. I guess she understood regardless.

"It wasn't a dare, really, I was just to scared to admit it." she says super duper quietly.

I walk over to where she's standing near the door. "You don't ever need to be scared to tell me something, Marella. I've liked you a long time, and everyone but you knew that. I wanted to te-"

I'm interrupted by someone, no not someone, someone's lips.

Marella pulled away first. "I'm sor-"

"Don't be sorry," I tell her, putting a finger to her lips, "It's something that had to happen."

She hugs me, "So you don't hate me?"

"Never." I kiss her forehead.

A/N- Sorry it's short, but everyone wants to know what happened with Sophie and Fitz so I have to get to THAT chapter fast. Also there are only 3 days left of the cover contest!
