"Hold me tight before I kiss you... Before my heart lets you go"

I couldn't stop blushing when Alex openly confessed that he was trying to figure out his feelings for me

I couldn't stop blushing when Alex openly confessed that he was trying to figure out his feelings for me. It is the sober Alex who is willing to take me on dates and try to make me like him back. That means, he likes me. This was a huge step for him to try willingly for me. I was on cloud nine when I heard him that he was nervous and I make him nervous. After that drunken confession, Alex never remembered that, and I was glad that he didn't remember it. But today, Alex took me to an art museum and I didn't expect this kind of surprise from him and he was so considerate of him to bring me here. 

His words played rent-free in my mind. I want to hear those again from him.

When he said, 'I will ravish those lips one day, not now.' as he leaned in and kissed near my lips was such an overwhelming sensation as I stood there like this was happening really and it felt like I'm carrying love in my heart like an ant carries a sugar cube. 

Oh gosh! This is really happening and Alex likes me! Even though he didn't say out loud that he likes me, he indirectly implied that he wants me back and wants me to like him. 

Only if he knows that I love him for years!

I looked at Alex who was holding my hands in his large ones while driving the car. I smiled glancing at our hands entwined in his hands. I wanted to ask him a lot of questions. A lot of questions about what made him like me and take steps for me. I wanted to ask him why he lied to others that he thinks of me as a sister when he liked me. I wanted to ask him did anyone knew about his feelings for me. I wanted to ask him why he likes me when there are plenty of girls out there. I know it is a typical question, that every girl would ask, and I desperately want to know what is the reason. 

He fucked so many girls and he had no idea of dating in his life, what made him change to date a girl like me. It might feel like I'm underestimating myself, but to be honest, I don't quite love myself. I'm still learning to love myself. I'm still adapting I love my body. Everyone can say it is like nothing, but when you are seeing it from the person's perspective it is difficult.

"I know you want to ask me many questions. We will talk it out during our dinner." He squeezed my hands offering a cute smile making me smile instantly. We reached a roadside diner that I didn't even know exists. I guess Alex takes his time out wandering New york. Since it was only evening and we took our whole day looking at the paintings and Alex was pretty calm when I ranted about the paintings that I knew. 

I sat on the concrete beside the truck. He bought me hotdogs which looked delicious. I licked my lips as I dug into the food immediately. Alex chuckled looking at me with an adoring look. 

"Food and you are inseparable." He stated wiping the sauce on the corner of my mouth as I kept nodding at him. 

"When I feel angry, I eat. When I feel sad, I eat. When I feel happy, I eat. Food makes me happy."
