Untouched Love

18

"Ok here's the thing..." He said while taking a seat beside me on the bed, feeling like he was about to say something that would let me down.

"It's not that I don't...love you...I'm just scared that because we're saying it this fast that you're going to realize later on that you don't actually have those feelings for me and you were just saying it in the moment..." He grabbed my hand and looked away from me.

I smiled and cupped his face with my hands. "Silly boy. Something that you've probably noticed about me is that when I fall for someone, I fall fast. I am the kind of person that feels feelings at hyper speed. So, I'm not just saying this because I'm in the moment. I'm saying this because...I love you Andrew." I said while smiling so hard my cheeks began to hurt.

"I love you too Julie." He said quietly, almost too quiet to hear yet loud enough to feel all the emotion behind it.

I jumped on top of him, kissing him all over, feeling the happiest I have ever been.

"Say it again. Please." He kissed me over and over again, having a smile on his face that just wouldn't leave.

I giggled and looked into his eyes. "I love you."

He wrapped me up and squeezed me tightly. "God I love hearing you say that. Let's get ready, I want to take you out for brunch baby."

"Really? Okay!" I shot out of bed and got dressed. Normally I'd put makeup on but he really did make me feel better without it.

The place he took me to was just 15 minutes from his house, it gave me a little diner feel, it was quite cute!

"What're you going to order?" He asked.

"Hmm not sure, I'm thinking maybe the chicken and waffles." While I was talking I noticed him turn his phone up and smile.

"Are you taking pictures of me??" I instantly got flustered and covered my face. I've always wanted my significant other to take random pictures of me but at the same time I'm very insecure and also hate my photo being taken. I don't know, I always think I look unattractive in photos so I usually stay away from them when I can.

"Me? Taking photos? Never." He said before smiling down at his phone and whispering under his breath. "So beautiful."

"I don't believe that for a second, show me your phone screen then."

I could see him swiping before turning the screen to me. "Seee, look, I was just looking at the menu you crazy woman." He said with a devilish smile.

I playfully smacked his arm and turned away as I could feel my cheeks getting flushed.

After we eventually ordered, the food came out in a surprisingly quick 10 minutes. While I was eating I could feel his eyes on me.

"Why are you watching me eat, you're gonna make me feel insecure about how I chew or something."

He just stared at me for a solid 30 seconds before any words escaped his mouth.

"I love you." He said

Instant blush. I turned away and covered my mouth because I was in the middle of eating. "Shut up and eat your food you dork..." I said with a giggle.

He continued to look at me for a moment. He was sitting across from the window so the sun highlighted his eyes beautifully. He had the most amazing hazel eyes I had ever seen. His iris was like a peanut butter milk chocolate brown with the most beautiful mix of a forest green wrapped around his pupils. I had never seen eyes like his before and frankly, I hoped his eyes would be the ones I looked into for the rest of time.

I would never tell him that though, because this time even I know that was moving far too fast.

After sometime we finished eating as much as we could, they give big portions so there was no way I could finish it all. It was delicious! Honestly the best breakfast place I've been to in a long time.

We finished paying and drove back home.

Sadly the time came for me to head home. If it were up to me I'd never leave, but I know he likes his space and I don't want to overstay especially because it's his families house and not his.

I hugged and kissed Andrew goodbye, not knowing when we'd hang out again but god I hoped it would be soon.

I could barely focus on the drive home, thinking about him, about us, about everything really. I wanted this to finally be the relationship that worked out for me. I wanted this to be the relationship that I felt the most at home with, that I wouldn't have to worry about other girls getting in the way or questioning my trust in him. I have a lot to heal from because of my past relationships, but I truly believe that Andrew is the missing piece.

I'm still learning so much about him, day by day. The way his mind thinks, how he's used to acting in relationships from before me, if he's someone who prefers more alone time compared to what I'm used to.
