Hearing Things

     My heart stopped. My face flushed. Did he really just say that? I couldn't believe my ears! My eyes widened.

     "W-what?" I asked. I needed to make sure I wasn't just hearing things. I was known to do that a lot.

     His face was the brightest shade of red I had ever seen. He pulled back from my semi-embrace and put a hand over his mouth. He looked like the tomatoes my brother and I grew in our backyard last summer. Clearly, he was embarrassed.

     He opened his mouth to speak, but the words were barley audible. They came out as a quiet mumble. I tilted my head to the side slightly.

      "Sorry, what was that?" I laughed nervously. "I didn't hear you."

     He cleared his throat. "I think I'd be willing to try," he stated simply. He tried to sound casual, but I could hear his voice trembling.

     My eyes lit up. "R-really?" A huge grin spread across my face. I really couldn't believe it.

     A little more than a week of knowing him, and you're already dating! Feli, you are truly the master of seduction.

     "But," he started. "We can't let anyone else know about it,"

     "Aw, why not? I want everyone to know that you're my boyfriend!" I whined with a slight pout on my face. I smiled at the word boyfriend, though. I'd never had one before. And honestly, it felt great.

    "I-it's embarrassing!" he snapped, a scarlet blush still present on his cheeks. "I can't let people know I have a b-boyfriend!"

     "Fine. But only because I like you," I said jokingly with a wink. He didn't find it funny.

     "W-whatever,"

     I scooted my chair a bit closer. It made a scraping noise on the floor.

     "Can I at least tell my brother?" I asked sweetly.

     "No. We can't tell anybody."

     "Well, we cant keep it a secret forever!"

     "Y-yes, I know that. I'm just not ready to tell anyone yet, alright?"

     I suddenly felt as if I was being a pest.

     "A-alright, sorry," I quickly apologized. I couldn't stand the thought of annoying him or saying something stupid.

     Once again, the familiar awkward silence settled in.
