His Confession

" What's up Paul..." I asked.

It was 8:00 pm. Paul never called me at this time before. He usually does before 6:00 pm. He sounded really nervous too. It made me worried.

" Emm... I just wanted to check you out..." Paul answered.

I was surprised.

" To check me out... What for...?" I questioned.

Paul went silent. Then he spoke again,

" Can we meet tomorrow...?"

" Sure..." I replied.

Paul had never been so unorganised before. He always speaks straight forwardly. He really sounded confused.

" Where are we going to meet...?" I asked excitedly.

" I'll pick you up..." He replied.

I immediately agreed. I didn't know why.

It was Saturday morning. I was supremely excited. I was just going to meet Paul but I didn't understand why I had this crazy adrenaline rush.

I heard his car outside. I peeped outside the window and it was Paul in his black t- shirt and blue jeans. His hair was still wet from shower. Casual but smart as always.

I opened the front door and saw him leaning back on his car with his arm crossed. He was so handsome.

" Hi... Good morning..." I said.

" Good Morning too..." He said.

We went to many places that day. I truly enjoyed myself. We were at a coffee shop when I saw the time on my watch. It was 7:09 pm.

" It's getting late Paul..."

" I have to go back..." I told.

He nodded and after paying the bill, we left the shop. About half and hour drive later, we arrived at my place. I didn't have the heart to get down from the car. I just felt that Paul wanted to say something but he was holding it back.

When I prepared myself to get down from the car, Paul hold my hand. I sat back and looked at him.

" What is it...?" I asked.

He cleared his throat and began,

" I don't know how you would react to this but... Here we go...."

" I..... Love you Lucy...." He confessed.

I felt like siting on a block of ice. My hands shivered. I was stunned by his words.

Paul who avoided else's proposal is now confessing his love to me. I looked at him and he was eager to know my answer.

It was actually fun to make him wait.

Now it was my turn to tell him what I really felt.

" You want my answer now....?"I asked.

" If possible... Yes..." He chuckled.

I wasn't going to tell him by words. I leaned over and claimed his lips. I didn't know that I could kiss that well. He was taken back a little but by time he came back on track. We kissed passionately.

I pulled away and said,

" That's my answer...."

Paul opened his puppy eyes slowly and smiled.

" I like it..." He said as he wiped his lips.

I hit him playfully on his chest and went out of the car. I swayed my handbag from side to side and gave him a final Good Night kiss from far.

I was eager to inform my parents about it and so to another person, John.
