ONLY YOU ~ Chris Sturniolo

page 5.

chris smirked at me, "yeahhhh" he said extending his answer. 

"kay" i say. "truth or dare?" i ask the boy now sitting upright with his legs criss-crossed. "mmmm, truth." he says thinking about it for a minute. "ugh i dunno what to ask i already know everything about you." i say laughing. but i gasp as something comes to mind.

"tell me something you've never told me before."i say before he sucks in his lips as if he's nervous. "i.. had a big crush on you during senior year." he says, sounding like he was holding it back. "you're serious?!" i ask. what if he actually does still like me?  "mhm" he nods

"my turn," he says. "truth or dare?" "truth" i say hesitantly. "who was the last person you had a major crush on?" he asks - his head tilted downward, but his eyes on mine, almost shy. fuck. "chris" i say. "what? you have to answer the question-" he says, but i cut him off. "it was you." well that sure did shut him up. "...really?" he asks blushing a little. i nod my head, but then keep it down. i was so embarrassed. "do you still?" he asks and i look into his eyes, giving him a small nod but putting my head back down soon after.

"hey" chris says in a friendly way trying to get my attention. he lifts my head up with his finger, "that's nothing to be embarrassed about sanna." he gives me a comforting smile, and i smile slightly back. 

"truth or dare" i ask sighing, falling on top of chris's legs. "hmm, dare." he says, pretending to think while looking down at me. "i dunno, uhh... i dare you to eat this clementine." i say grabbing the fruit from the nightstand and handing it to chris.

"truth or dare" chris asks me "dare" i say. "i have to put a few pieces of this around the room and you have to eat them without using your hands." he says with the peeled fruit in his hand. "fine" i say sitting up allowing him to place the slices around somewhere in his room.

"why the hell would you put one one the bed chris?" i say as he laughs. "go get em" he says with a smile. i get up and go around the room finding and eating the clementine peices. 

Chris's POV:

i guess savannah wasn't being just a friend this whole time. i thought. why would she want me though, out of all people.

"done!" she said climbing back over me to lay on my bed. if i'm ever going to tell her... it has to be now.

"i'm ready to tell you what i was going to say in the pool earlier." i said sitting up against the headboard of my bed. "oh, okay" savannah said softly, scooching in and eyeing the last few clementine slices i had in my hand. "you can have them" i said laughing a little, handing them to her. she smiled.

"savannah... i've loved you since i met you, but last year i fell in love with you. you have no idea how much you mean to me and how much you've helped me. i legit can not imagine a world without you. its always been you... always" i say to her nervously.

Savannah's POV: 

holy shit. chris just said he loves me. my stomach fills with butterflies and i feel my face get hot. i can't think of what to say to him.

"savannah?" he asks me, trying to snap me out of a trance. it works and i look up at him. "i love you too chris" i say.

he gives me the brightest smile. "really?" he asks in a sweet way. i lay my head on his chest and his arm wraps around me, his thumb going up and down my arm. we talk about how things are going to work out for us, knowing our friendship would probably be ruined if we get into something. we decided it's worth the risk, we love each other, and we could probably find that again some day. 

i crawl on top of chris, sitting on his lap. i place the last clementine slice i had on his lips, and lean down to get it without my hands. our lips interlock as butterflies shoot up and down my body. i pull away and eat the slice that was in my mouth. "i love you chris" i say softly, but with a bright smile. "i love you savannah" he says, returning the smile. we lean back into each other and continue the kiss for a few seconds, before i climb off of chris and lay my head back on his chest. i feel his hands slowly running through my hair, and i slowly drift to sleep.
