"Why'd you have to

Make me want you?

Why'd you have to

Give me nothin' back?

Why'd you have to

Make me love you?

I said, "I love you"

You say nothin' back."

"Happy valentine's day baby!!" I say cheerfully to Elliot while entering my room with a tray of breakfast for him.

I watch as he looks up at me with tired eyes and confusion lingering on his face.

"What?" His voice comes out groggy and raspy. He has his per usual bed hair, that makes him look gorgeous just by waking up.

"It's Valentine's day baby." I give him a big smile while I set the tray in the bed for him. "So I made you this, hope you like it."

I normally don't do stuff like this for boyfriends on Valentine's day, or any day at all, and usually I don't act so cheerful and weird around them either.

But this time I feel different and I don't know why exactly, maybe because I always think Elliot didn't like my surprises, even when he acts to like it, or maybe it's the fact this is the first boyfriend I've feelings I never had.

I hate that even knowing how I feel towards him, I can't help the unsteady feeling deep in my core.

I watch as a half smile reach his mouth, but never quite his eyes.

'What's up with him today?'

His acting just as weird as I'm feeling right now.

"What? Something wrong?" I ask concerned he really didn't like the surprise this time.

Elliot gives me an wide eyed gaze before quickly changing his expression to soft eyes and a charming smile, that makes my insides melt.

"I'm just surprised doll, that's all." He puts a loose strand of my hair behind my ear and softly brush his fingertips alongside my cheek. "I should've been the one to do this actually."

Oh.

This hadn't crossed my mind. I gave him my best disguise look and smiled. I don't know what I was trying to hide, but I did anyway.
