Love Is Us

Chapter 10

"So do you prefer studying or talking?", Brandon asked me closing my textbook.

I giggled.

"Of course I like talking but I would also like to study for my quiz tomorrow in Business", I replied.

He laughed.

"Oh right, I remember you mentioning that Business was something you wanted to major in."

My heart melted. A cute guy that talks and listens? How have I not met him sooner.

"Yep, it's not a hard class. You just have to stay on top of everything", I told him.

"Well that's kinda hard when you have a hot guy like me in your corner", he bragged.

"Oh no."

"What?"

"We are not together Brandon", I said.

"I know, but things have been going pretty well, and who knows maybe we will", he replied.

Everything I said, he had to make a comeback to. It was so corny, yet cute. I closed my textbook and looked him in the eyes.

"I'm not your typical go to girl am I?", I asked him.

He laughed.

"No, but you've convinced me to try something new", he said.

"Oh really?"

"Yep, Megan Archie and Brandon Johnson. Westin Lake University's hottest couple."

I shook my head.

"Is that the only way you picture us?", I asked him.

"What do you mean?"

"Brandon, there is so much more to a relationship than it's popularity and how hot it is. There's the small things like studying together, going out to eat, supporting each other", I replied.

He looked down.

"You're right. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. Just remember the next time you say something crazy like that", I said pinching his cheek.

He smiled and scooted closer to me.

"So tell me something?"

"What?"

"How are you so beautiful?"

I giggled.

"Stop. I don't wear makeup."

"So? Natural beauty is the best beauty", he whispered into my ear.

I looked at him and smiled. In that moment we were in tune with each other. I looked into his hazel brown eyes and was mesmerized by his beauty. Never before have I felt this way about a guy before. It was amazing.

"You're too cute", I said.

He leaned closer. I could feel my heart beating. Was this actually happening? Was he really leaning into kiss me? And just like that our lips met. It was the best feeling in the world. I felt so safe and comfortable in his arms. I knew nothing would break us apart.

"I feel like a fairytale princess", I said as we drifted apart.

He laughed.

"That's because you are. And I'm the prince you've always needed", he said.

I told him that I have never had an actual relationship with a guy and that it would be nice to keep things at this speed.

"Of course. No need to rush right?", he said.
