Runaway Lovers

Prolouge

"Dezie... I love you" Xeno spoke hesitantly, watching me closely to see how i'll react.

I pause and just stare at him, processing what he just said to make sure i didn't hear him wrong, did he just say what i think he said? No i must be hallucinating or something. 

"what?" I ask with clear confusion written across my face.

"I said i love you Dezie. I always have, and I don't mean the friendship kind of love we've had. I love you more then a friend and as the time went on it grew more and more and i need to confess to you now. I feel like with the circumstances, its the perfect timing you know?" he speaks while gazing deeply into my eyes never breaking contact. I can feel my cheeks flush red and my stomach get all warm and fuzzy, Its been happening a lot to me lately and i never knew why but i guess i do now. I love him too. This is my chance to confess. 

I smile at him " I love you too Xeno, like more than just a friend as well." I smile at him comfortingly.

We just sit there in silence staring at each other for who knows how long. After a bit it becomes a bit awkward and we both look away, he clears his throat. I laugh nervously.

"so uh what now?..." I ask with a bit of uncertainty in my voice. I look away not wanting to look him in the eyes.

"I don;t know, I really didn't this far through." He chuckles nervously scratching the back of his neck. I love when he gets all nervous and awkward. He's so adorable, I can't even explain it. Why did I have to fall for him? Why? Well look at him, he's hot, has gorgeous deep dark brown eyes that I always seem to get lost into. His gorgeous sexy smile that always seems to put me in a trance. His adorable laugh that makes thousands of butterflies swarm in my stomach. The way he holds me when i need his comfort. His warm body against mine. The forehead kisses he gives me when he is reassuring me. Just everything about him is just so, so i don't even know how to explain it. It's just so mesmerizing. How did I wound up so lucky to have someone like him? I don't deserve him. He deserves someone better, who's less chaotic and complicated then I am.

"Well.......what if we start dating?..." i suggest hesitantly hoping he'll agree so I wont be embarrassed for even suggesting it in the first place. He smiles at me and I can't help but to return it back to him.

"Thank goodness we're on the same page here, I didn't think you'd be okay with it for some reason." 

"Why not? I mean we both just admitted to loving each other so why wouldn't I date you?" I say with a bit of sass in my tone.

"Well does this mean we're official now?" he speaks with a hint of hope in his voice.

"Yes we're official now" I say while playfully rolling my eyes. He grabs me and pulls me into a tender kiss. I melt at his touch. The feeling of his plump soft lips kissing mines. Oh how I love this feeling. I don't ever want this moment to stop.
