Chapter 8

Previously on Chapter 7

I shake my head as I start to have tons of questions in my head. Okay... stop overthinking and just let it flow. I let out a sigh and close my eyes. I let myself drift off to sleep.

-Sweet Moments-

Y/N P.O.V

I hear knocking sound on the door. The sound wakes me up from my deep slumber. I gently rub my eyes, trying to get rid of the sleepiness. I get up from the bed and make my way to the door.

I open it and jump back in surprise when something is moved in front of my face. I let out a sigh of relief when I realize it's a huge bouquet of f/f. I stare at it in confusion.

The bouquet moves to reveal Miles. "Good morning, Y/N..." he said. I smile softly at him. "Good morning, Miles" I said. He walks towards me and outstretch his arm, giving the bouquet for me.

"Oh, uh... thank you" I said. He smiles softly at me. I gently take the bouquet from him. I lift it closer to my face, taking a sniff. I let out a content hum at the sweet scent of f/f.

"How do you know I love this flower?" I asked. He just smiles at me. "I have my ways..." he said, coolly. I just giggle at his comment. He's really trying his best to win my heart. But I'm still not sure what I feel about him.

"What subject are we doing today?" He asked. "It's the weekend, Miles. You have free time" I said. He nods his head at what I said. "Alright... then, walk with me?" He said. I smile softly and nod my head. "Sure... let me put this in a vase real quick, okay?" I said. He smiles and nods his head. I turn around and enter my room. I place the bouquet inside the vase.

"Okay..." I said, walking towards Miles. He smiles and lift his hand for me to take. I stare at it for a few seconds, not knowing what to do. If I hold his hand. He'll be more hopeful that I might fall for him, when I don't know whether I will or not. But if I don't hold it, he'll be upset.

Plus it's rude to not accept people's kind gestures. But in the end, I place my hand on top of his. He smiles happily when I finally hold his hand. We turn around and start to walk, wherever he have in mind.

Miles takes me to the pond. We walk around the place hand in hand. His hand is warm... it makes me feel calm for some reason. Maybe there's actually a chance that I will actually catch feelings for him.

"This place is my sister's favorite spot in the whole household..." he said, after walking in silence. I turn to look at him and smiles. "Yeah... I can see why. It's beautiful here..." I said. He smiles softly at me. He lets go of my hand and slowly walk towards a bench and take a seat. He pat the spot next to him. I walk towards him and take a seat next to him.

"The air is so fresh here..." I said, inhaling the fresh air. "Sure is" Miles said, nodding his head. He turns to look at me. I turn to him. He stares into my eyes. He slowly leans in.

"We should take it slow, Miles..." I said, before his lips could touch mine. He lets out a sigh and nods his head. He slowly pulls away.

"Yeah... sorry. I should've ask first" he said. I shake my head. "No... I'm sorry. I just, I'm worried that I might hurt you, Miles. I'm still not sure how I feel about you. You give an effort with these kind gesture to prove to me that you feel something. But what if I failed... at falling for you? You will be hurt" I said. He shakes his head.

"It's okay, Y/N. I asked for a chance. I'm ready to accept the consequences. And if in the end, I can't win your heart... it's okay. At least I tried my best. What matters to me is that you're willing to give me a chance to prove myself to you" he said, smiling at me. I lean over and place a soft kiss on his cheek.
