chills shot down my back. i cannot breathe. "hayes, ive liked you way before you even knew i exsisted. you have no clue how much this means to me. im not good enough for you."
"what are you talking about? youre perfect, Emma! your beautiful hazel eyes and brown hair and just everything about you. there is nothing better. nothing." he looked at me in a way nobody ever has before. "look, em, i know we havent known each other long at all but do you think you could do me a favor?" awe what??? something good. something good. something good? "will you make me the happiest person in the world and let me call you mine?" i just about jumped out of my skin. i literally could not even believe it. this was not happening. in a couple minutes i would wake up from this dream and get on with my own boring life, a life without a boyfriend. but I didn't. I didn't wake up in a jolt and realize that this was just a dream.
"uh hayes are you being serious? is this for real? this doesn't seem like it's real life..."
"Emma i know that we just met not that long ago. I know that a gorgeous girl like you might not want to just say yes to some loser she just met a few days ago by complete accident.. this is so all of a sudden and I didn't even know that I would have the guts to do this until like 2 minutes ago when I kissed you. I don't want you to think I'm just trying to mess with you. I genuinely like you. I don't think I've ever felt like this about someone so soon after knowing them, but you're totally different. I feel like there's a reason you moved here. And I hope that reason could be me if you let me. I know I'm being really sappy and kind of annoying and I'm sorry I just am all caught up in my feelings and I want you to know that I'm not just doing this to do it. I like you and I want to get to know you more."
Wow okay that was a lot to take in. Literally the love of my life for like 2 years just asked if he could call me his?? Like there has to be a hidden camera somewhere this is just too perfect. I feel like this is super cheesy but I love it. I don't think he could've done it a better way. Damn was he smooth.
We walked back home the rest of the way, my head still reeling with unbelief. Every once in a while I'd look up at him and he'd just be looking at me. His big goofy smile gave me the warmest feeling inside. I don't think there is one thing that could make me happier. When we got back to my house we sat on my front porch and talked about the most random things for who knows how long. I'm pretty sure we could've lasted all night, but then of course something had to come interrupt. That something was my mother. She opened the door and Hayes and I looked back at her.
"Oh sweetie! There you are! I was starting to get worried" God she is so annoying sometimes. "Who is this?" I know she recognized him as the boy from the poster that used to hang in my room by the look in her eyes. I felt so awkward. My mom could be quite the well... mom. She knew just how to make my friends, especially boy friends uncomfortable. I introduced her and just when I thought life was about to feel really weird for a couple of minutes, Hayes jumped into a conversation with her. They talked about the area, school, his family, and me for about 20 minutes. It was never awkward. Well that was simple, I thought to myself. It was getting pretty late, and even though I could've sat with Hayes on that porch forever, we still had to go to bed at some point. Hayes walked me up the steps until we were right in front of my door and we stopped. He looked in my eyes and smiled.
"What?" I asked.
"I'm just still kind of shocked that that really happened. I am so excited for all of the stuff I have to learn about you. I'm crazy about you, Em." OKAY WOW DID HE JUST SAY THAT??? He gave me a hug and kissed the top of my head. "Goodnight cutie" he said as he winked. Man he was ADORABLE.
"Goodnight Hayes. Thank you for all of this. I am still in shock" I respond.
I walk into my house and watch as he walks down the steps of my porch and turns back with a big smile on his face. "Dream about me," he said as he walked across my lawn.
"Like ya wouldn't believe," I called back.
I walked up my stairs and fell into my bed. If I wake up and realize this was just a dream, I'm gonna be pissed. I start laughing to myself, Did that really just happen??? I feel like thats a question I'll be asking for quite a while. He was a dream come true.
