Love 101

Prologue

Faith felt her heartbeat speed up remarkably quickly at the sight of Daniel. She couldn't believe he kissed her leaving her shocked and amazed. She wondered if she was dreaming and would wake up at any moment. Daniel was her brother's best friend. She never imagined that he had such strong feelings for her. She stood frozen leaning against the counter for support, contemplating how to respond. Daniel came closer to her causing her to jump nervously.

"Faith......... I am sorry if I shocked you with all of this. But I have cared for you a very long time. I am sorry it took me this long to confess my feelings," he said staring at her intensely. Faith closed her eyes conflicted with this announcement of his true feelings. Daniel was a brother to her for years. Hearing him confess that he wanted something more had her head spinning. He was too handsome for his good in her opinion. Faith wondered why women would get flustered in his presence. However, at that moment her knees were weak, and her stomach was churning. She finally understood his affect on women. Daniel was sweet and soft at the same time making her feel warm on the inside. It did not help that his gorgeous green eyes held her captive and refused to let go.

"Daniel.......... I don't know what to say. I had no idea you felt this way," she admitted. Daniel gently held her hands and kissed them softly. "Faith, you have always been special to me and no one compares. Think about this. Think about us. I would be honored to date you and show you how precious you are to me," he said, standing beside her. Faith felt breathless and captivated by him. She needed to process all of this.

"Daniel, I need time to think about this. I always pray before I make any major decisions. I have always loved you like a brother. We can't go back if this does not work out. With that being said, you have to be patient with me," Faith said looking at him directly for reassurance that he would respect her position. Daniel would wait an eternity for her. She was worth it and he wanted a life with Faith and was willing to fight for her love. Daniel knew God had shown him the woman of his dreams and he had no intention of letting her go.
