Talk About Awkward 🎈

18. Beach

I'm sorry for not publishing earlier because I procrastinate. A lot. That's not a good excuse so to make it up to you guys, I'll be publishing two chapters. Yay!

Enjoy :)

We walk to Max house in silence, me still thinking aaout our conversation back at the park.

So Reese came here to get away from his parents' constant arguments. That's fine, I guess.

What I couldn't seem to digest is the fact when Reese promised that we'll stay together for as long as we both shall live.

"I won't let go of us." Reese promised.

Yeah, that. That worries me the most. What if things go wrong? What if we break up later?

You won't. Besides, he already promised, my conscience spoke.

Yeah, he already promised. Then I remembered what Max first said about Reese.

"My irritating cousin is staying with us for a year so he study here too."

It's okay, long distance works-

Wait.

H mentioned something about not doing the long distance relationship right? I mean, isn't that what he said when I asked him about him having a girlfriend?

He already promised, my mind insisted.

I felt someone touch the spot between my eyebrows.

"Did you... did you just touch my face?" I asked Reese.

"Maybe, maybe not." Reese gave me a silly grin.

My natural reaction is to roll my eyes or gave some sarcastic comment. Instead, I smiled, hoping that he won't see past my façade. Which he did.

Reese stopped walking and turn stand in front of me so that he is blocking my way.

"What's wrong?" Reese asked me.

He held up his finger before I could say I'm fine. "No don't say I'm fine because I know something is bothering you."

But I'm really fine.

"Yeah, and I won the ticket to visit Willy Wonka's factory." Reese replied sarcastically.

When did Reese become so sarcastic?

"Ever since I became your boyfriend."

Can he read my mind? Is he Edward Cullen?

"No I'm not Edward Cullen. I'm just observant. But seriously, what's wrong?" He squeezed my hands lightly.

That tiny action made my heart do a small, slow jump.

"I just... I... I was thinking about us." I admitted.

Reese circled my hands with his thumbs.

"Nothing is going to happen to us." Reese assured me.

That's what I hoped for too, but I can't say that out loud. I feel like something bad is going to happen to us.

I smiled. "Yeah... my mistake, I was overthinking."

Reese cupped my face with his big, warm hands and lean closer, his lips meeting my lips halfway. His kiss is slow and sensual, unlike my heart which is beating erratically.

"Don't overthink, just go with the flow." Reese said huskily before meeting my lips again.

We repeat the same cycle again, this time I wrapped my arms around his neck while he moved his hands to my waist to pull me closer.
