Thirteen

A/N : The lines written in bold down below are brought from books and they do exist. The first one is from THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and the two stanzas of poetry are brought from my favorite poem written by one of my favourite poet PABLO NERUDA. I didn't steal them, i just mentioned them here because they make so much sense and they have meanings to both of the characters. You'll find out about that at the end of the book. Credits to both of the writers. Thanks in advance

Ps : this chapter is twice longer than the others. Be ready :)

The walk around his town was really enjoyable. He showed me around and took my word. He took me to his favorite places around starting with the library. I should've seen that coming. The boy had a huge thing for reading. Unlike me who only read if it was related to some assignments. The library wasn't really big which made me think that he only attend the small uncrowded places. The old man who worked there also knew him and greeted him once we got inside. My favorite moment was when i was checking THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green and he took the book away from me. He stepped a little closer than he should, trapping me between his skinny body and the bookshelf. He opened the book and went through the pages until he found the one he was looking for. I looked at him, knowing exactly that he knew every word by heart since it was his favorite book in his really long list. Quietly he started saying his favorite line without looking at the book in his hands and instead looking down at me in which it made me forget how to breath

" As he read, i fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once" he said. Few inches between the both of us and i really fought the urge to grab his neck with the both of my hands and just kiss him. The way he said it was just so obvious that he was directing the line to me. He said it to me and i know nothing could prove me wrong. Not even that small thought of him saying the same thing to his pretty ex girlfriend.

It took me almost a full minute just to remember that i had to breath if i wanted to stay alive. I breathed in and out, deeply and slowly because i was about to faint for a second. I wasn't a fan of reading too much but i knew one stanza of a really beautiful poem i read once. I don't know how it just occurred to me at that one moment to just say it. He wanted to take my breath away with his beautiful lines from books. I'll take away his breath with a line from a poem as well

" I love you only because it's you the one I love
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my
changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly." i said. Very slowly and i made sure to leave my voice as low as possible. He lowered his head, his hair falling on the both sides of his head. Something flashed through his blue eyes as he looked deep in my eyes. I could feel his breath on my skin as he started speaking

" In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood." he finished and although he chose to skip the stanza before the one he said, i was shocked to know that he actually knew that poem. But who am i kidding? All he does during the day - during the time I'm at school pushing myself to the edge in order not to fail - he has his nose buried in a book. I smiled widely when he finished talking and the smile on his face disappeared making me frown.

" HOW DARE YOU USE MY OWN SPELL ON ME MS WHITE?" He joked and a small laugh escaped my mouth because of the quote he used. Such a nerdy half French boy who's totally obsessed with Harry Potter. He leaned closer til our lips nearly touched and for a second i thought that my fantasies were turning to reality but i ended up being disappointed as he moved and kissed the corner of my lips and placed another one on my cheek.
