Day 9

Luke had never been more nervous.

He was standing at her door, a bouquet of roses in his hand and his speech running through his head. He was worried that he would blank on what he had to say when he looked at her, it had happened before. He would have something to say, would have rehearsed it countless times and yet when it mattered he would blank and end up a stuttering mess.

One deep breath later, he was knocking on the door - his large fist making an echo sound through the hollow door. Footsteps could be heard approaching and Luke was counting the seconds down in his head until she would be in front of him.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Right on cue, Grace opened the door.

If you asked, Luke wouldn't be able to tell you her expression when she saw him because he wasn't looking. He knew the second he looked at her his kind would blank. Temptation won over though, and it took one look into her eyes for his mind to go as blank as a new canvas.

Speak from the heart, he told himself, speak from the heart.

Grace opens her mouth to greet the flustered looking boy, but he beats her to it.

"Look Grace, I am shit with my words but I'm going to try my best for you ok? Simply put I've never met anyone like you, you make me feel things people I've known for years don't. I could never let you go, you have a piece of my heart that I can't live without but I can tell I'm not getting it back anytime soon." He paused for a breath,
"You have no idea how much I missed you this last day, and it was only a day! You have quickly become my everything, I don't know how you did it but you have. So what I'm trying to say is," he pauses and takes a big breath, his eyes shut,
"Gracie, I'm in love with you. I'm so deep in love with you it's not funny anymore, they say that home isn't a place it's a feeling, and I never believed that until yesterday, when even though I was in my own bed, without you, I had never felt so lost. Whenever I see you I'm drawn to you, if that's not love I don't think love exists." He finishes, looking hesitantly at her to try and see how she would react.

She pulls him in to her house with a tug on his collar, she presses her lips against his - finally having no reservations knowing now that he felt the same way.
