Hello babies

New chapter is here!

I realized that someone let me go and I'm proud of that person. 

Okay, enjoy the chapter :)

EMRIC'S POV:

"I love you, Thea Marino"

My heart was pounding at a crazy rate as my fingers jittered and my tongue felt heavy from the confession.

Every day, every night, every second that she was on my mind, I yearned to say, "I love you," and now when I did say it, it was unbelievable. I had never thought that the day would come when I will confess again. It was astonishing knowing that she heard it.

She was quiet. Too quiet for her personality. I was expecting a dramatic Thea, screaming, and shoving me out of the room. Maybe a slap or two. However, when she didn't say a word and stood there like a statue in my arms, my fingers swiftly held onto hers like a last thread of hope. I wanted something. A curse would work too.

"Thea," I whispered. She hadn't blinked or moved her eyes from me. I smiled, pushing her bangs away. Why was I even expecting a word from her? She had done this before.

****LAKE HOUSE 2018****

"Emric!" Thea yelled from downstairs as I was hiding in the attic with my precious box.

"Coming, sweetcheeks" I yelled back as I quickly shut the box and hid it under the bunch of old boxes. It's still not the right time to show her the box.

"What were you doing up here?" Before I could step away, she was standing there like a pretty little angel. "Are you hiding from me?"

"No, would I hide from you?" She gave me a lazy hug and sat on the bean bag beside me. There wasn't enough space for both of us, so I lifted her up by her waist and made her sit on my lap. "This is better"

"What were you doing here?" She asked as she leaned in more.

"Nothing" My 'nothing' means 'Thea'. I was adoring everything about her that I hid in that box, and she has no clue about it. "Did you bring the stuff?" I asked.

"Yeah" she pointed at the quilts, laptop, and McDonald's takeaway bag. We were going to watch crime documentaries and hide in here while our parents were in the living room watching Christmas movies.

Oddly, Thea came up with this idea since she has always been a fan of traditions and holidays. Christmas decorations, country music, baking, gingerbread house, and whatnot. She loves it all.

It was strange that she wanted something else this time and I being a best friend/secret lover joined her. Beside that this year Asher was at home, preparing for his final exams. It was a little boring without him, so Thea was my only source of enjoyment. A plus point of not having him around us was that we could behave as we wanted. Lovey.

"Let's do this" we stood up and quickly arranged the quilts and started the documentary. "Come here, I don't want you to get cold," I said and pulled her close. She giggled and comfortably leaned in my arms and rested her head on my chest as we ate fries.

After the kiss on that trip, she was opening up about her desires. We didn't take anything seriously, but we also explored every chance we got. We didn't kiss after that night, but it was evident we wanted to. It was my first kiss with her, and I couldn't unsee how much I have wanted it since the time I had laid eyes on her.
