In a heartbeat

Chapter 15: Make-up

Carlos’ POV
I can't believe Seb thinks I'm only with him because he's the only one like me at school. How could he not know how much I love him and that he's the only one I want? We haven't really talked since break but we're all meeting at the theater tonight. I see Seb standing on stage with the others. I approach him and tap him on the shoulder.  He turns to face me.
“Oh, hi,” he says.
“Can we talk? Please?” I ask.
“Okay,” he says.
I lead him to the empty rehearsal room.
“Seb, I love you. Please don't ever doubt that. I choose you.”
“You do?” He asks.
“Of course. No one else gets me like you do,” I say.
“I feel the same. I'm so sorry,” he says.
“You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm so glad you're mine,” I say.
I take his hands in mine.
“I’m glad you’re mine too.”
I smile and pull him into my arms, hugging him tightly. He pulls away and kisses me. I eagerly kiss him back. Thank God everything is okay. I think. I break the kiss but before I can ask.

“you guys okay?” Ricky asks.
“yeah, we are,” Seb says.
We head to the join the others, holding hands. Before we join them on stage, I stop Seb.
“Carlos?”
I pull him into my arms and kiss him.
“I just needed one more kiss,” I say.
