-ASH-
I knock loudly his door. No answer. I knock again.
"Come on, Mike. Answer the door." I shout, but still nothing.
After knocking one last time, I decide to leave.
As I'm taking my way back home, I recognize a familiar figure.
"Hey Mike! I've been looking for you." I scream as I walk faster to catch him.
"What do you want Ashton? I'm tired of your apologies." he says.
"But, I really need to talk to you." I tell him, but as always he refuses to listen.
He turns away, and walks to the opposite side of the road.
"Stop avoiding me, Mike." I shout.
"And why should I do that?" he asks, as I'm following him to whatever he is going to.
"Because," I start saying but then, I realize that we're outside of the park; and it's full with people.
"Because I want to tell you something." I say under my breath.
"Like what? What do you want to tell me?" he asks with an unemotional look in his face.
"Let's just go somewhere else." I say.
"No," he cuts me off. "If it's anything you want to tell me, tell me here." he says with a sigh.
I don't say anything at first or make any move. I don't know how to start.
"I'm so sick of this hide and seek, Ashton. I am done." he adds while he's ready to leave.
"Don't go." I yell, but Mike doesn't stop.
"Mike, please. I'm in love with you, okay?" I scream without even thinking.
Mike finally stops and turns around, while looking at me with wide eyes.
"Is that what you wanted to hear?" I yell once again. Many people must have heard me, but this time I don't really care - for an unexplained reason.
"Because, here's the truth Mike. I can't stop thinking about you. I have this strange feeling inside my stomach whenever you're in my mind. And I never really thought that I could ever feel like this. All because of you." I say; all those words that I wanted him to know. This time, without screwing up.
Mike doesn't respond, and instead he starts walking closer to me. He brings his hands close to my neck.
His lips, red; looking so soft like they're begging for my kiss.
Eventually, our lips are pressed together. We don't say anything, we don't even care if people are watching.
His one hand is still on my neck, with his fingers playing with the ends of my hair; while his other hand is around my waist, keeping us close to each other. My both hands are just loosely around his waist.
This kiss really feels like forever, until we stop so we can catch our breath.
"I'm in love with you, too." Mike says. His lips forming the sweetest smile I've ever seen.
Then, he starts giggling, "I never thought you'd ever say that."
I nod and then look down. "I'm sorry Mike. Sorry for being such an ass. Sorry for ruining everything."
"Hey, stop saying you're sorry. It's fine, we're fine now." he replies, but I keep talking.
"And most of all, I'm sorry for running away from my feelings. I didn't want to face or admit the truth."
