White Lies

Chapter 20

I enter the library and see Cedric standing by the reception tapping his foot on the floor and looking around. I rush to him.

"hey, is he here?" I ask, not being able to wait. He chuckles and says. "he'll be here soon, you go and wait and that corner, the seats will be covered by three huge bookshelves." he points at the very corner. I nod and sprint towards the seat.

I take a deep breath and sit down. In a few minutes, I hear footsteps followed by a voice. "hey bud-" I turn my head and my breath gets stuck inside. He looks so fine.

He is wearing a white collared shirt with a dark blue sweater on top paired with black pants, his hair messy, fallin' on his forehead. I snap out of his trance when he calls out for me.

"Lilith?"

I smile and say "surprise." in a low voice. He smiles back. "a very beautiful one at that." he says, making me blush. I have this very giddish feeling, my insides feel like they're on fire. He sits in front of me and I just wanna strangle him in a hug, can I though?

"soooo, how have you been?" I start.

"I was not good, I was gonna rant to Cedric about how you just abruptly hung up on me yesterday after telling me we should meet." he says, making me feel guilty.

"I'm so sorry about that, I was not in my right mind."

"don't be, I'm glad you thought of surprising me and we could meet now."

I smile and nod my head.

"shit, I don't have your books with me. Got an excuse to meet up again I guess."

"you wouldn't like to meet me after giving me those books, is it?"

"I-I you- I mean wait, so like, you would want see me after that?"

I chuckle softly. "I mean after I do this, there is no way we aren't seeing each other again."

He just looks at me confused. I stand up and he stands up too. I move to the side, he tilts his head and just looks at me. "what's going on in that pretty little head of yours, huh?"

"come here." I say in a very low voice, barely audible. He takes slow cautious steps and stands in front of me. Before I can do anything, he corners me at the bookshelves, one of his hand on my side. He walks closer and I take a step back till my back hits the shelves.

He leaned in close, his lips so close to mine. Our noses were touching, I could feel his breath on my lips. He looks at me asking for consent. I put my hands around his neck and our lips lock with each other.

Our lips move in sync with one another. My entire body is on fire as he slips his hand around my waist and pulls me even closer. His lips are so soft like cotton candy, and I love cotton candy.

We pull apart when we're out of breath, my hands are still around his neck and his around my waist.

His forehead rests on mine, and we both smile with our eyes closed, just living in this beautiful moment.

"so, what does this mean now? What are we?" he asks looking into my eyes with tenderness. "you tell me, will you ask me out?" he grins and nods his head.

"I had a little something planned for when we meet. I guess I should do it now." I smile and look at him with curiosity. "wait here, I'll be back in a minute." he adds and walks away. I stand here, smiling like a fool. I like Sam, a lot.

Its been 15 minutes and he's still not back, my leg is bouncing and I keep looking around for signs of Sam.

Aunty Camilla comes up to me and says. "Sam tripped from the stairs, he is sitting by the reception. Poor guy, he told me to call-" I mutter a thank you rush to the reception, not waiting for her to complete her sentence.

When I get there, Sam is sitting in the middle of the room, with an ice pack on his ankle. I walk up to him and just as I'm about to scold him for being careless. The lights go out and a spotlight is on Sam as he throws away the ice pack and stands up.

I watch bewildered as he pulls out a bouquet of different kinds of flowers from behind. "will you be my girlfriend, Lilith?" he asks and the spotlight is on the both of us now. My eyes tear up with happiness. I nod my head with a huge goofy grin on my face.

I take the bouquet from him and pull him by his shirt's collar and kiss him. Kiss him like crazy, pulling him in as much as I can. His hand holds on to my waist, it makes me want more and more. Our lips meet over and over again. We pull apart, both of us breathing heavily. He kisses my forehead, his lips stay there.

Someone starts clapping and we pull apart to see who it is and it feels like all my happiness has been snatched away in a swift tug as I watch her clap while smiling wickedly.
