Chapter 9: Smiling

Nichole's PoV

The rest of the summer seemed to have passed by in a flash. Ryan and I spent almost every second together. He is teaching me how to play guitar and piano, and he's a great teacher. Now here we are, two days before I go back to school to start my senior year.

Sitting on the windowsill, I have my legs bent over the top of the keyboard. I can feel the warm August sun on my back through my light grey tank top, and I smooth down my pale pink skirt. With my feet resting on the bench that Ryan is sitting on, my legs are draped over the keyboard, but not touching the keys. I close my eyes and enjoy the peaceful sound of the keys forming melodies under Ryan's fingertips. I'm learning, but I know I will never be as good as him. He has a gift, a way of creating the most beautiful sounds through instruments without even trying that hard. I begin to sway slightly back and forth as I lose myself in the music. Suddenly, it stops. I open my eyes, and see Ryan looking at me. He has a spark in his eyes, and a sweet smile on his face.

"What?" I ask, while giggling slightly.

He crosses his arms, and I can see something in his eyes, but I'm not sure what it is. Amusement, maybe?

"Nothing, it's just that you.. You're so... Amazing. Everything you do, and everything you say. You aren't afraid to be your whole self and you don't care what anybody thinks. I love that about you." He says, and I can tell he is sincere. I can feel a heated blush creeping up in my cheeks, and I smile, and look down and away so my hair will hopefully cover my face.

'He loves something about me. Does that mean... Does it mean that maybe he could love me? Not just a thing or two that I do, but everything about me? Could it be possible for him to love all of me the way I am? I never thought that that was a possibility, its never happened before..'

My thoughts are interrupted by a hand sweeping gently across my face and tucking my hair behind my ear. Glancing back up, I see Ryan is looking at me with that same sweet smile.

Staring into his eyes, I know. I know how I feel about him. I have wondered all my life how you know, what the signs are, and how you can be sure that's how you feel. And in this moment I realize it's something that can just hit you at any moment, or it could build up slowly. You never know how it's going to happen, but when it does, you know. You just do.

Standing up from the large cushioned bench, Ryan walks over to me. Without saying a word, or breaking eye contact, he wraps an arm around my back and one under my knees and picks me up. As if I was feather light, he carries me with ease back over to the bench, and places me down on his lap. My arms around his neck, sitting sideways with my legs laying out across the bench, he has his arms around my back. Removing one of his hands, he caresses the side of my face, brushing away a stray hair in the process. Our faces are only centimeters apart.

"Nikki I love you." He says confidently, with shining eyes full of... Love.

My lips spread effortlessly into a smile, and I reply,

"I love you too."

Breathing out a quick sigh of relief, he wastes no time and presses our lips together, and wraps both his arms tightly around me. We continue to kiss, and I can feel that he is smiling, and the great part is,

I'm smiling too.

Hey guys!!! Again, so sorry I haven't been updating. I know I've been on Wattpad but I just didn't know what to write so I kind of didn't try. I had a really great day today, and Im extremely happy. It was one of those days where things didn't go the way I had originally planned, but ended up being 10x better and I wouldn't change a thing. I went on a rollercoaster for the first time! My brother loves them but I'm always too terrified to try them, but I was spending the day with him and his friends so I decided to suck it up and try it.... Yeah I ended up hating it and when the ride was over I had tears in my eyes and was doing everything possible not to start crying obnoxiously. I ended up going on two more rollercoasters and I was with my brothers friend for most of it and I had a lot of fun with him. Overall I had a really fun day even though I had thought it would be horrible because none of my friends were able to come with me. Tbh I think I had more fun with my brother and his friends than I would have had with one of my friends. I'm just not thy close with my friends anymore and I'm just more comfortable around the people I was with today. Anyways, my good day inspires me to try and right something. I doubt anyone will read this and if anyone did they probably don't care but I'm going to bed happy and that feels REALLY good. Remember,
