Secret Love

10.

Chapter 9 continuing:

I stood there frozen.

Of course I was happy though, because he finally asked me to be his girlfriend which put my mind at ease that he actually wanted to be serious about this thing between us.

I was just a little in shock because I didn't expect it at all.

But I was happy and I wanted to say yes of course.

He looked up at me and I could tell he was becoming nervous because I wasn't responding at all.

I let out a small laugh*

Of course I'll your girlfriend! I finally said

He sighed a loud sigh of relief, followed by a laugh*

He got up again and pulled me into a tight hug before crashing his lips to mine.

He was really happy and so was I.

Liam's Pro:

I'm so happy I decided to man up and ask Emily to be my girlfriend.

I did want this relationship and I think she was beginning to think that I didn't and I didn't want her to think that I was just wasting her time.

I'm just so happy that she said yes.

End of Liam's Pro

He slowly got back up to his feet and immediately I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly, lifting me from the floor in the process.

He began placing quick pecks in my neck, moving up to my cheeks and my forehead making my giggle in the process.

I pulled apart laughing*

He pecked my lips as I laughed, making me go quiet and I kissed him back.

You. Umm. Don't have to say it yet if you're not ready. But I - I just wanted you to know how I really felt about you. He said as he cupped my cheeks running his fingers through my hair and I wrapped my arms around his waist.

I knew exactly what he meant.

He was talking about saying "I love you". If only he knew what was the real cause of it. I wanted to tell him. But I was scared.

I haven't really spoken about it to anyone. Especially a guy. But when I was Liam he made me feel safe and like I could trust him. So maybe I could trust him enough. Maybe it was about time I talk to him about it.

I took his right hand and led him over to the couch and he was almost a bit hesitant.

I let out a small laugh*

Babe. Please. I want to talk to you about something. It's something I haven't spoken to anyone about. I said

He then took a seat on the couch, facing me.*

I released a loud sigh*

I. I haven't really spoken to anyone about this. But somehow. When I'm with you. I just feel so different. You make me feel safe and like I can trust you. And God baby. You have no idea how important that really is to me because it's just so hard for me to really trust someone with my heart. I said as tears slowly began to well up in my eyes

I felt tears slowly run down my cheeks and Liam cupped my face and wiped the running tears away with his thumbs. He slowly placed a kiss on my forehead and whispered:

Don't cry baby girl. Just tell me how you feel. And I. I promise I'll try to be understanding about it.

I leaned forward, making our foreheads touch and the tears flooded even more.

He closed the gap between us and crashed his lips onto mine and after a few seconds he pulled away and looked at me as if telling that I could continue. And I did.

I reason. Well. The real reason I've been living with Aunt Julia. Is because my parents were getting a divorce and since I was the only child. I just. I guess I didn't want to go through all of it with them. And since then. I. I just had this idea that, that was what could happen if I let someone in. Eventually that person would just leave. I know it's kind of stupid because everyone leaves eventually. But they use to be my inspiration. Because when I looked at them it gave me hope that you could find someone that did love you and that wouldn't leave you. But since they did that. It put fear in me. And I thought, that if I could avoid it. Then I would. But then. Then I met you. And God did you change everything. You changed my mind completely about ever having that idea. And honestly. It scared me. And. That's why I gave you such a hard at first because I started liking you much sooner than I expected and I didn't want to. But I couldn't deny it anymore. I finally said looking up at him and making proper eye contact with him again

He looked at me. Everything was just silent for a while.

Then he surprised me.

A smile slowly formed across his lips and it actually made me feel like "wasn't he taking this seriously"?

He cupped my face and crashed his lips to mine and pulled away with a smirk spread across his lips.

Babe. You have no idea how much more I love you right now. He stated as he interlocked his left hand and my right.

I looked at him wide eyed, I was in total shock*

What? I exclaimed raising an eyebrow

He let out a small laugh*

I love you even more now. He said with a smile
But. Why!? I asked completely puzzled
Because you trusted me with something that's really important and now that I understand how you feel. It makes me love you even more. He said simply

A smile spread across my lips*

Oh. I said shyly

He let out a small laugh*

Yes baby. So I understand now. And I still won't put any pressure on you if you're not ready to say it. But as long as you know how I feel. Then it's....

I interuppted him*

I love you Liam. I said with a smile spread across my lips

He looked at me wide eyed*

Really? He asked
Yes. I felt like this for a long time. But it's what scared me even more because I wasn't sure if you felt the same. I explained

He looked at me. And a smile spread across his lips.

He then cupped my face and crashed his lips to mine and our lips began moving in a perfect sync**

After a little while we pulled away, our faces red and with huge smiles spread across our lips*

I love you, so much Em. He whispered as our eyes locked

A smile spread across my lips*

I felt so happy. There was no words to explain it.

I love you too, Li. I whispered back and pecked his lips*

The rest of our day was spent just cuddling, watching movies, eating a whole lot and just enjoying being around each other.
