Chapter 21: love.

This is going to be very back and fourth with povs so bear with me, this is just an important chapter and I want to get both perspectives!

Did I just hear that correctly?

No, it's not what I think.

Y/n lifted her head and looked into my eyes deeply.

"I-I shouldn't have said that. Never mind-" she got up and went to leave the room.

Wait. She was being serious?!

"Wait y/n!" I stood in front of her, stopping her from leaving.

"Are you being serious?" I asked, extremely confused. I watched as she looked down and started to fiddle with her hands. She took a rattly breathe in and walked back to sit on her bed.

"Yeah."

Y/n's pov

I just wanted to know what was going on in his head.

"Sorry, I just need a second-" he paced the room.

"Look, I don't expect you to feel the same- heck I don't expect you to even answer. You can leave, I understand."

"N-no! I don't want to leave." He quickly said and came over to sit with me. He didn't say anything for a bit which scared me a little but I could tell he was just trying to figure out what was going on. He was in shock.

His shock made me realise that this was the time to just get it all out in the open. No secrets.

"You know what, fuck it. I've done the damage so I might as well tell the truth. I don't just like you, I- I'm in love with you."

I looked up at his face, his gorgeous tanned face, to try and find some hint of expression...and I did. A smile began to tug at his lips.

"You love me? Like, love love me?" A sweet smile spread across his face.

"Y-yeah. It's why I've been acting a little weird. Its just- It's a scary feeling and I've avoided you because I don't like the feeling. I didn't want to lose you and was terrified you wouldn't want to be around me if I told you the truth."

"Y/n, you don't know how long I've wanted to hear you say those words because...I'm in love with you too."

Wait. What?

I felt like the luckiest man on earth. The women I was in love with, loved me back. She loved me! The thing I wanted more than anything in the world was coming true.

The look on her face when I said I felt the same was perfect. Her head snapped up in surprise, her mouth gaping open and her eyes widened.

"Are-are you sure?" She practically whispered.

"Yes I'm sure." I laughed. A small smile of happiness yet disbelief formed on her beautiful face.

"I um, actually planned on asking you on a date tonight but then you acted weird and I-"

"Oh I'm so sorry, I ruined it." She apologised.

"No, you really didn't. It's so amazing hearing it from you." I grinned. She smiled back and blushed a little. We sat quietly for a few minutes, allowing each other to take a breath.
