Adam stared into my eyes and I stared back. He seemed to be analyzing my expression.

“ I, uh… you kissed me..” I say dumbly. He kissed me. HE KISSED ME! There was like a hundred people here and he chose me I was super happy about it. I noticed Adam was still looking at me so I gave him a smile. A smile so bright, it could have been blinding. He leaned in a again to give me a light peck.

“ Yeah I did kiss you. I’ve wanted to kiss you ever since I saw you.”

“ Really?”

“Well yeah, you didn’t think the only reason I took you to the nurse was because I was that nice. Ok I am really nice, but it wasn’t just that. I’ve actually kind of had a crush on you for a while now.” He had a crush on me. This was just getting better and better.

“ You like me? But you said that there was someone else.”

“ No I never said that. I said I was falling. I took your advice and it seemed like you liked me too so I decided that tonight I would do something about it. So I kissed you, and I’m hoping I was right?” I nod and he smiles at me.

“ Yea I’ve liked you for a while now too.” I’ve liked him for like the last year, but he didn’t need to know that. We kissed a little bit more before he pulled away.

“ Do you think maybe you’d like to go out with me?”

“ Yeah I think I would like that.”

The next month was amazing. It was spent with Adam and hugs and kisses. We spent most of our nights in each other dorms and it wasn’t just cuddling ( ;) ). We haven’t exactly gone all the way yet, but I want to be sure first. We haven’t even said we love each other although I’m pretty sure we do. I’ve just been so happy with Adam.He makes me feel loved and special. He always makes sure that I know he’ll be there for me. I tell him that he can expect the same from me. I just can’t believe how much has happened in the last few months. I’ve gone from weird obsessed fan to his lover.

It really is amazing to be his boyfriend. Sometimes I feel insecure that maybe this is just a dream. Maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow and notice that it all never happened. However, Adam is always there to let me know he will be around for as long as he’ll have me ( hopefully forever). I just want to spend everyday with him. I want him to be a part of my life as much as possible. I really do love him.

It’s now February. Valentine’s day is a few days away. I want to get something really special for Adam. I want him to show him just how much I care for him. I want him to know that he has made me feel totally loved and that I love him. I’ve actually thought about saying those word to him. Telling him how much I love him. I want to let him know, but I’m also scared to say it. I feel that if I say it first, he might not feel the same way. I decide that I need some help sorting these thoughts out, so I call up Alissa. She shows up five minutes later with ice cream and candy.

“ It’s a code red, what’s up?” She says worriedly.

“ I’m just having trouble trying to figure out what I should do for Valentine’s day.” She pushes us towards my bed and we both flop down.

“ Oh Olly, it’ll be fine, you’ll figure something out.”

“ You realize that that isn’t helpful advice.”

“ What do you want me to say, Oh just buy him such and such and he’ll be happy.” She sits up and looks at me seriously. “ I don’t know him like you do. You’ll know what the best present for him is. You’ll just know what you want to do.” She’s right.

“ Thanks”

“ Yep. Now how about we eat the ice cream and candies.” I laugh and we indulge the rest of the day. I’m really happy right now.
