What are we?

"Anna..." I groan.

"Anna! Wake up!" I squint my eyes open and look up at Blake. He still has a bedhead and it looks adorable on him. He's smiling down at me. His smile is contagious. My smile disappears when he says.

"You sleep like the dead." I sleepily sit up in bed.  I remove my covers and walk to my mirror. I see Blake looking at me from the corner of my eye.

"What?" I ask. He smiles at me but doesn't say anything. I roll my eyes and walk to my bathroom. I brush my teeth, wash my face and run my brush through my hair. Then I walk back to my room to get my clothes ready for the day. When I get back to my room Blake is sitting on my bed. I begin picking out my clothes and pick out two shirts.

"This one or that one?" He cocks his head and makes his decision.

"This one." I put the other shirt back in the closet and I pick out some jeans. I had gotten dressed in front of Blake before but this time it felt different, like he was looking at me in a different way.  When I'm dressed I look at him.

"You ready?" He gets up from my bed and walks over to me. He touches my cheek, I blush. He leans forward...this time I'm certain he's going to kiss me. He comes even closer and right when I close my eyes, he kisses my cheek. My cheek?  What in the name of cheeseballs! I give him my look of confusion. He takes back his hand and he smiles at me.

"Soon." And he leaves my room.

                                                                                                  ****

"So this time he kissed your cheek? Your cheek?  What? I'm lost." I nod my head in agreement at the lunch table with Jamie. That day Blake had been completely normal other than this morning in my room. After school we're going to meet like normal.

"I don't know, it was weird. I mean, what if this ruins our friendship? Then I'd lose my bestfriend."

"Um...hello?" I look over at her. Oh!

"Oh! I'm so sorry...my other bestfriend." Jamie looks a little hurt after what I said, but it's true. Suddenly, Jamie gets a huge grin on her face. "What?" She looks at me and grins even wider then looks back behind me. I turn around and see Blake, carrying roses, chocolate, and a picture. I slowly stand up and walk toward him. 

"Blake? What's going on?" He grins down at me. 

"Rose...I have some things I want to say." I smile and blush from the sweet nickname. Then I look at the picture in his hands.

"You took a picture of me sleeping?" He chuckles.

"You don't like it?" I look at him evilly and he laughs even more. "You look beautiful when you sleep. If you don't want it I'll keep it." I smile at him and I take his gifts.

"Why are you giving me all this?"

"I wanted to get you things that remind me of you. The roses are for Rose in Titanic, the chocolate is because you absolutely love chocolate with the caramel in the middle, and this morning when I saw you sleeping I had to catch the princess in her most vulnerable state." I blush even harder as people are starting to look at us. I say to him.

"Blake. What are you saying? What does all of this mean?" He steps closer.

"It means that I love you. I've loved you since the day I met you. I love the way you look at me when I make you laugh, and the way you eat your ice cream with the spoon upside down, and I love how you cuddle up next to me when I sleep over. I miss you when we're not together, and I cherish the moments we have together. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on and I would love for you to be my Rose if I can be your Jack." All I can do is stare. I've known Jack since forever and I have never heard him speak like this. He is my bestfriend and I don't know what I would do without him.

"Blake."

"Yes, Anna?" I look to my right and see all the girls that crush on Blake, the ones who swoon over him wondering why he didn't pick one of them.

"Why me?" He steps even closer to me.

"Because there is only one Rose." And he kisses me. He cups his hand under my chin and presses his lips against mine. His lips are warm and comforting, like his arms. He wraps his other arm around my waist as he makes the chocolate wrapper crinkle. He pulls back and grins the most radiant grin. 

"I'm so happy you're my Rose, Anna."
