One week later, Calum asked me a question. And this time, I didn't run.
"Anna," He said. "I have something to ask you." He slowly grabbed the book I was reading from my hands and set it down beside him. We were sat on my bed doing the same thing we were doing a week ago. I was reading and he was playing with my hair. I liked it when he played with my hair. It felt good. He grabbed my now free hands and started talking again. "Anna. In the past few months I've learned so much about you. I learned that you hate going on dates because they are too stressful. And that your ideal date would be just laying in your bed talking. I learned that you love Ramen like my friend loves pizza. And that you love when I run my hands through your hair. I learned that you get scared when I get to close. Because you don't want to get hurt again. I learned that you could sleep through almost anything. And that cat videos make you happy. I learned that you love to read even though you've read all your books at least a thousand times." He paused and looked up from our hands to my eyes. Then he continued. "I love the sound of your laugh. I love the way you curl up when you sleep. Its like you're waiting for someone to wrap their arms around you. I love how you don't care when you eat Ramen. You just shovel it in your mouth because there's no other way to eat it. I love how when you read a book you've already read, you still look as if its the first time. I also love your impatience. And I love the way you say my name. And how our hands fit perfectly together. And how your lips feel against mine." He stopped and just looked at me. "And I'm pretty sure we are doing this all back wards but who cares right?" He looked back down at our hands then slowly back up at me. "I love you." He whispered. "I love you. And I want you. I want to be able to call you mine. But I'm scared to ask. I don't want you to run away again because I don't know what I would do if you did. But-"
"Calum," I giggled. Then I whispered, "Ask me."
His eyes went wide then he asked.
"I know we skipped the whole dating part but," He started rambling. "Fuck it. Will you be my girlfriend?"
I smiled and nodded and he was kissing me.
"I told you I was still yours."
