Because I Love You

Chapter 3

Keefe broke into a huge grin. "You do?!" He asked. 

"I do!" Sophie laughed. 

Keefe hugged her, and pulled her close. "Are you sure, Foster? Not doing this to tease me?" He asked, his grin fading.

Sophie wanted to show him all she felt for him, but doing that in words would be impossible. So she leaned in, and moved her lip to his. She closed her eyes, and kissed him.

It was only for a few seconds, but it was sweet. At first Keefe was surprised, but then he kissed her back. Unfortunately, everyone needs oxygen, and the two broke apart.

"Is that a good enough answer?" She asked.

"Dunno, might have to check again..."

"Keefe!" 

"Fine, yes it is! I'm really happy, Foster. You have no idea how much you mean to me." He said. Sophie didn't need to use her telepathy to check if he was lying. 

"Finally, Funkyhair!" A voice called. It was Ro. Had she seen everything? Sophie blushed. "You got Blondie on your side. Funny, I ALWAYS imagined it like that. And you got it BEFORE Fitzy? Score!" She said in one breath.

Sophie was smiling like an idiot, but Keefe tossed his hair. "RO!" He pretended to be embarrassed. "Did you have to see that?" 

"Yes, I did." She said. "Blondie, you gotta work on your obliviousness. It ain't cool." 

Sophie's cheeks burned like the sun. "Yeah, I'm sorry, Keefe. I guess I was too focused on Fitz." She mumbled. 

 "It's okay, Foster. Speaking of my best dude, when are we gonna tell the others?" Keefe asked. 

"Oh! Biana and Dex called me for a sleepover at Everglen! I could bring you, and we'll break the news." She said. But she was worried. How would Fitz react? He had a terrible temper. He still kinda liked her. 

'Well, it's my choice,' Sophie thought to herself.

She didn't like Fitz anymore, and her heart was in the right place. It belonged to a boy with ice blue eyes and blonde (amazing) hair.
