Part 32 - An Important Decision

Red pov:

It was the next morning, my arms wrapped around Chloe's waist, my head resting on her upper stomach. Leaving little to no space between us. As I'm starting to wake up, I can feel her hand placements, too. One hand is around Mt back, and the other is holding the side of my head. We're both laying on our sides facing each other for a good few minutes. I could smell her scent with every breath. It felt like heaven being able to smell her soft faded lotion mixed with her perfume. After starting to wake up more, I felt a kiss on the forehead.

Chloe: Good morning, sleepy head.

Red: Good morning, princess.

We soon had to get up for school, so i went to go shower first. While in the shower. My mom's voice kept repeating in my mind, saying of her saying to listen to my heart. Idk how to do that. I barely even understand that sentence. I need to talk to Chloe about the magical promise. I don't even know if she still wants to do it. She said she's willing to wait for my decision, so I'm guessing it means she's ready? Soon, I had to get out of the shower and let chooe use it. At our breakfast table. I kept looking at Chloe, I didn't fully realize I was just staring at her as she was talking with Mona. My head ever so slightly tilted. I was practically analyzing her face. Her lips, her eyes, and even every facial expression she made. It's like every time I lo9k at her for longer than 10 seconds, I can notice a new detail I hadn't before. I was completely mesmerized by her beauty. How could someone like her date me? Heck, marry me even?

Leah: Hey Red, what are ya doing over there?

I snapped out of it.

Red: What?

I look to Leah.

Jack: Yeah, you were staring at Chloe for like a full 5 minutes.

Red: Oh, I was? Sorry.

Chloe: Is there something bothering you? Or are ya just staring for fun?

Chloe says, leaning over a little. I look at her up and down a few times before speaking again.

Red: How do I listen to my heart?

Chloe then turns her body facing me. She holds one of my hands with hers.

Chloe: listening to your heart is when you let yourself have deeper feelings and understand them. It's when you do the things you believe in. It's a little complicated to explain.... but I do know that's it's needed to make big decisions.... like our magical promise. You just need to take a deep look inside yourself until you know you made the right decision for yourself, ok? I'll still be right here.

I nodded.

Red: Thank you, Chloe.

Chloe: Anytime, besides, you've stuck with me for a long time.

I playfully roll my eyes as I blush a little.

Leah: That reminds me.

We look at Leah.

Leah: Last time you guys were saying you guys, marry?

Red: yep.

Chloe: At some point, I'm not sure yet, tho.

Red: Chloe, here's been teasing me with that ever since I found out the other day.

Chloe: What can I say? I married the girl I love, and I can at least brag a little.

I turn and smirk at her.

Red: Well, talk about that later.

And soon the bell rings. It's time to go to class. All morning, I had trouble focusing on the classes. All I could think about was Chloe. Everything about is her perfect. I got so many questions I wanted to ask her. My heart couldn't stop feeling weird. I wasn't sure what it was. Maybe fear... or worry? I'm not sure. Soon, the lunch bell rang. Once heading to the cafeteria, I saw Chloe with our friends, I walked over. She was chatting as per usual. I place my hand on her shoulder as I lean over beside her.
