"I'm not just saying this, I promise. I lo- fuck, I don't know how to say this but-" he paused, hesitant in his movements, fear in his eyes. Regardless, he leaned in closer and quietly whispered. "I think I love you."

The world slowed down until it came to a crashing halt, my once screaming mind becoming radio silent as the oxygen escaped my lungs. My breath hitched in my throat as I processed the words that left Daron's mouth.

My bursting heart skipped a beat, the feeling resembling a heart attack, my face turning awestruck as my eyes remained stuck on him. My stomach fluttered as I found the courage to speak the words that had been buried deep within me— the words that had haunted me.

"I love you too." I almost silently breathed out. I finally broke our gaze, my eyes flickering between his eyes and lips before he pulled me in and joined our lips.

A burst of colors filled my mind as flowers bloomed in my chest, butterflies swarming in my stomach as Daron's lips are soft and gentle, parting against my own. There was a fire in my mind, a cloud of emotions raining on me as we moved in a slow pace, the kiss intimate and special, rather than desperate.

He was stuck in my mind, my thoughts completely gone as I felt his warm hands hold my face, subconsciously pulling me closer to him— and I wasn't complaining. The desire to be close to him only grew, without much thought I climbed onto his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck.

I fit so perfectly as if he was made for me, the two of us belonging with each other as our blossoming emotions only further proved that, his hands sliding down to my waist, resting for a few seconds before slipping them under my shirt, running his hands up my back. I shuddered.

"You don't know what you do to me." he mumbled against my lips.

He managed to leave me speechless once again, infatuation taking over my brain, only able to muster up an embarrassing smile before hiding my face in the crook of his neck. I wasn't used to his sappy words.

I was unable to express myself back to him but it seemed he understood. Ghostly tingles ran through my spine as his gentle fingers lightly trailed down my back, his hands reaching the bottom of my thighs.

"I love you, so much." I whispered.

I felt him smile against my lips, separating. "I love you too."
