"timothée?" elodie spoke, her voice shaking slightly. the boy looked up at her from the sofa, smiling politely. she sat down next to him. "i wanna, like... talk." he paused the tv, giving her his full attention. she stayed quiet for a while, trying to sort through all the words and the thoughts she wanted to share with him so they didn't come out in a big jumbled mess. "i'm sorry- i, i'm trying..."
he put a hand on hers. "take your time." she returned the small smile he gave her, taking a deep breath. "can you just... close your eyes?" he did so without hesitation. "thankyou, um."
"i love you, a lot. more than i love anyone else, if you get what i mean. god, this is so difficult.. how did lewis charleston do this?" he laughed quietly. "what i'm trying to say is i have feelings for you, and if you don't feel the same that's absolutely fine, i don't expect you to or whatever. i just, felt like i should tell you before i lose the chance to." she finished. "you can open your eyes now."
he did so, looking at her with nothing but adoration. "do you remember the time i went off script in that scene? where lewis is telling maya how in love he is with her?" elodie nodded. "i wasnt speaking to maya. it was one of the dumb ways i tried to tell you." her mouth opened slighrly.
"you're in love with me?" she asked in disbelief. he nodded, a nervous grin on his face. "maybe just a little bit. a dash, a teaspoon." elodie laughed, resting her head on his shoulder. "i knew you didn't just forget your lines." she looked up at him, an overwhelming urge to close the distance consuming her. he looked down to her lips, asking her without even speaking if he could kiss her. she nodded almost immediately.
this kiss felt different than their other ones. acting kisses, drunk kisses, goodbye kisses. no. this was a kiss of security, one that had her heart racing, her stomach doing flips, her head spinning. she felt so warm and filled with love. from just one kiss. one short, gentle kiss.
she pulled away to catch her breath. their foreheads resting against each others. timothée kissed her cheeck gently. "you're beautiful." he mumbled. "be my girlfriend?" the exact words that lewis charleston says to maya phillips. "of course, in this lifetime and the next." the exact words maya phillips says to lewis charleston.
