He said he loved me... (completed)

Our Date

My heart was in my throat and I was squeling with excitement as I saw him make his way towards me. I ran back towards Kate and asked her if my hair was okay and if I looked okay as it was. I gave Kate my umbrella and she gave me yet another thumbs up. You go girl!

When he was visible, and trying to cross the muddy part where the field connected to the path by the river, he stumbled and got his new-looking sneakers dirty. I heard him mutter under his breath, something that sounded like 'fuck' and I started to giggle politely

"Hey" He said when he was a couple of steps away and waved awkwardly

"Hey" I replied and took one step closer and hugged him!

That even surprised me! I wasn't awkward though, it felt more natural! And I was very overwhelmed when he hugged me back, it was heart to heart-quiet literally.

"You wanna go for a walk?" He asked, his voice on the low side, deep and mysterious and very very sexy.

"Sure" I said and waved bye to Kate who just grunted in reply... seems like I'm gonna get a mouthful from her...

"Sorry I had to bring Kate along... Otherwise my mom would've gotten suspicious" I said to him since he already knew and understood my situation

"You know if we work out-which I hope we will- you're gonna have to tell her, right?" He asked me, affection and understanding seeping through those lovely brown eyes

"Of course... just give me time" I said, looking into his eyes and noticing a beauty spot a little left of his right eyebrow. It look so cute!!

"Anytime" He said and laughed. Damn, that laugh was soo sexy!

I giggled alond politely as we walked closer to the river. He motioned for us to cross at the stones and as we jumped across I made a big fuss and acted like a little girl, squeling.

"I'll fall" I giggled

"I'll catch you" He breathed, close to my ear

I jumped the first stone and pretended to wobble although I was very capable of crossing. I felt his hadns on my waist as he steadied me... His touch burnt my skin.. in a good way!

"Thank you" I managed to whisper as he took my breath away

"No problem" He answered, looking mysterious

As we crossed over without any more of my professional acting, we talked about everything, life and college/school and friends. He seemed so relaxed around me, laughing and joking around and acting bits of his life out, making me giggle.

When we got to one bridge we crossed over and stopped in the middle of it and sat on oposite sides of the railings and just talked. It felt like minutes had passed...

"What would you do if I leaned back... like this" I demonstrated and leaned back, which to my surprise made him flinch "And fell?" I finnished.

He turned to the side and looked over his side of the railing and thought "I'll prbably jump in with you" He laughed, the laughter easy and vibrant, making me laugh along.

I moved over to his side of the bridge as he told me the one time he had to hold a dying friend in his arms as she had thrown herself from her bedroom window. I felt the urgent need to hug him or.. or do something as I could see that the pain was killing him inside.

I looked into his eyes and smiled.

"I won't hurt you" I said simpy

"I hardly thought you would" He laughed, but looked reassured

"Shall we get you back before your cousin freezes to death?" He asked

"Aha, I think we'd better. Thanks.. I had a great time" I couldn't believe how easy it was to look into his eyes and speak my mind.

"Yes, me too! Maybe next wednesday?" He asked, uncertainly

"Of course" I smiled up to his lovely eyes
