Chapter 2

Zann

I felt my eyes pop out.

Javier, my boyfriend? No, Zann, you're overreacting because you like Javier a lot. I scolded myself.

He looked at me with a raw and tangled expression. He nearly kissed me, I thought, giddy with happiness. Javier played with my hair.

"It's true. I was- and still am your boyfriend." I blushed really hard. He grinned boyishly and he hugged me. He remarked, "I really love you."

My jaw must have hit the blanket as he started laughing.

With nothing to say, I asked him,"You really love me?"

Javier quietly answered, "Yes."

I blushed really hard again.

"Thank you for the truth," I said softly. He grinned shyly.

Then Javier asked curiously,"Do you love me?"

I hesitated. I didn't know what I felt for this cute guy.

"I... I think I do." I settled for that. Javier sighed.

"I understand if you don't want to take this to another level." he said.

I hastily replied,"It's not that. It's just that I need some more time."

He held my gaze. "Time to do what?" he asked. He suddenly felt a bit too close. Javier told me, " I'll give you some time to think if you want to be my girlfriend." I looked deep into his eyes and saw how he truly felt for me. I was touched and I made the decision for myself.

"Yes. I want to be your girlfriend." I said decisively. "Really?"Javier asked. I nodded. His face lit up. He hugged me tightly.

I squirmed. "Javier, you're forgetting that I woke up from a coma two days ago with some bruised ribs?" Javier quickly let go of me and apologised. I grinned and he smiled back.
