When the Red Ribbons Meet

God of Sleep... And apparently Romance(pt.2/2)

(Best reading experience with the song; Sweater Weather, by The Neighbourhood)

Her warmth was intoxicating. Making me want more and more of it.

Her closeness was comfortable, but awkward at the same time. I loved the way her warmth moved towards my cold one. The silence was comforting, her soft breaths made me feel at ease about everything. The way her back was pressed against mine. I wish I could say it was just platonic but we both knew it wasn't.

The comforted closeness was discontinued when she turned around, feeling her stare on my back. Forcing me to turn around as well, staring into her eyes as she stared back into mine, making an intimate and comfortable aroma.

"Hi," she murmured, smiling slightly.

"Hey," I whispered back, still staring at her beautiful eyes.

"I can't sleep. You?" she looks up at my brown eyes, seemingly getting lost in them.

"Me neither." I murmured.

She stays silent for a bit before speaking again.

"Can.. Can I tell you something?" she murmured hesitantly.

I nodded. My mind is thinking of multiple things she could be thinking of. My thoughts were interrupted when she spoke up.

"I.. I don't really know how to tell you this.. I've been thinking about this for a while now but.. But I'm not sure how to tell you..." She murmured, fidgeting with her hair as she looked a t the bed sheets.

I felt concerned but curious about what she's about to tell me.

She must've gotten over her fear quickly, because the next words that came out of her mouth shocked me.

"Matthew... I.." she hesitantly started before speaking again. "I have feelings for you. Not the 'I think I like you' feelings. I know I like you. I know we barely know each other, but I love everything about you and I know my feelings are real. I get butterflies for just being in your presence, I love the way your eyes brighten ever so slightly when you smile. I feel.. Comfortable and- and safe and happy with you. I.. I really like you, Matthew."

She paused, waiting for my reaction as she looked up at me.

I stared at her, shocked and dare I say it, flustered.

I stuttered over my words. Before finally getting my courage.

"Kris.. I.. I never expected you to say that.. But.. Kris, I feel the same way too. I've always had. From the moment I met you, I knew I was in love. I love every second I spend with you and being near you.. And that idiot(Ben). I always have this feeling in my stomach when I'm with you. A flutter always comes to my heart but I always ignore it. But now is the perfect moment to tell you." 

 I gently grabbed her hand and pulled it towards me.

A/N's; 

Hello, my loves! If you read my story then you probably know that the book goes by to fast. The reason for this is because I'm not really much of an writer(as my bio says). Originally I had thought about making this a slow burn but now I made into Matthew(mc) looking back into the past and into the core memories, though I apologize because I did NOT put in past-tense. Anyways, Thank you for reading and giving my story a chance. Good day/night, my loves!
