ALEX'S POV

"Glen wait a second" I said
He stopped and looked at me

"What's the matter Alex?" he asked studying my face

"You wanted to talk, so we're going to talk" he said as he took my hand in his and started walking again

"Yes, but where are we going?" I asked confused

"Somewhere we can talk without people disturbing us"

I let him lead me to this "place".
It was a kind of garden, full of plants and flowers.

"This is my secret place. Well, it's not that secret now" he said laughing "I come here whenever I need to think and be alone"

"It's beautiful" I said almost whispering. I had never seen something like that. It was so quiet.

"Yeah, it is" he said

There was just one bench and he went and sat there

"Come here" he said patting the place beside him.

I did what he said. Neither of the two spoke. I didn't know where to start. I didn't want him to be mad at me if I would have said something wrong. He had his gaze lost on the ground and I decided to speak

"Glen..." he looked at me

"Um, well... I..." it was like the words were blocked in my throat. I took a deep breath "Thank you" I said

"For what?"

"For what you did at the airport..."

"It's okay" he said turning his gaze away from me... He seemed cold and I didn't like it

"Glen..." I started but he cut me off

"Earlier you were mad at me for punching Sean and now you're thanking me?!" he said angrily

"I know.. And I'm sorry. I thought you had overreacted!" I said touching his arm trying to calm him down

"Well, he was trying to kiss you and I read it on your face that you were scared as hell!" he said standing up

"Yeah, but you could've just talked to him, not punching him and making a show for the people who were there!" I said raising my voice

"Why don't you let me protect you?!" he said looking at me in my eyes

"There's no need from you to protect me. I'm able to defend myself" I said swallowing.

I didn't have a clue why I said those words because I knew they weren't true.

"Sure. Like you did with Sean" he said with sarcasm in his voice.

"You care about me too much Glen" I find myself saying

"And? I have to protect you for fuck sake! I hate seeing you hurt Alex!" he shouted

I froze for the words he was saying...

"I-I hate seeing you hurt too, but..." I mumbled

"It's different" he said softly as he started to walk away

I took him by the arm and he turned around facing me

"Wait, why is it different?!" I asked confused

He looked away from me and he didn't answer me.

"Glen..." he still didn't say anything

"Glen!" I shouted

"Because I'm falling for you!" he shouted back.

Suddenly the world seemed like it had stopped. We just stared at each other. I couldn't believe what he said

"W-What?" I whispered

He ran a hand through his hair
"I like you... Since the first day I guess. I didn't want you to know... And now... Shit! I ruined it all. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that" and he began to walk away again

"I'm falling for you, too"
He turned around "I like you Glen, not just as a friend. I've never felt This way before. Yes, I had crushes but this time is different" I said rushing

He walked close to me and put his hands on my waists and our foreheads touched

I put my hands around his neck.

"You're so beautiful" he whispered as he tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. The cupped my face and he leaned forward until our lips crushed together.

Our kiss was soft and gentle. The first kiss every girl dreams about. I had waited for that moment for a long time and finally it happened.
We broke the kiss and smiled to each other. He took my hand and he lead me to the bench where we sat earlier.

He was scratching the back of his neck, sign that he was nervous...

"Um, so I..." he was mumbling

I giggled "Hey, calm down" I said

He took a deep breath
"I was wondering... Can we go out tonight?" he asked

I was shocked. In a positive way of course. I liked him, a lot...

"Yes" I said smiling

He smiled in returned and kissed me again.

A/N I'm sorry guys. I know this is shit. I don't like it and I didn't know how to write it :(
Hope you enjoy it anyway.
