It's Not A Dream Anymore (A Taylor York/Paramore Love Story)

Chapter 9 - Confessions

"... I like you a lot." Taylor mumbled under his breath. I felt my heart raced too fast inside my chest, feeling that it will soon explode because of too much emotion. Too much happiness. Too much. Too much that I was speechless. I couldn't get my mind to work and respond quickly because my heart was too potent this time. The feeling... the feeling of falling in love for the very first time was swallowing the whole me. I've never felt like this before, I could swear to myself. Never in my 22 years of my existence.

Taylor held my hand under the table. He could sense that I was feeling a little nervous that he made a concerned look. "Bells, are you hearing me?" then suddenly, reality striked my mind. Taylor. Taylor just said he liked me. And I like him back. More than he knows. But things are just too fast.

I sighed. "Taylor, you're serious, aren't you? you know... uhh, we've only met for like, what? 2 days ago... and you know, things are just so fast and I'm fe- feeling like, please don't be mad at me, but I think that what you're feeling about me, like right now, you know... I don't - I don't think that it's --" he cut me off.

"I know, Isabella, I know. I know that's it's too fast and we've only knew each other days ago. But I know, that those days, two days ago, I knew that it was you. It's you that I need, and I'm sure it's not for eternity but I know you are what I need this time, and I'm hoping that it would last."

I looked into his eyes, and all I can see was sincerity. And that, I knew that he's telling what's from his heart. What he's been feeling the whole time. I let him continue."Bella, I'm not forcing you to feel the same as what I'm feeling towards you right now. I just want you to know what I feel. I don't care how long it will take to make you feel the same, but I could wait Bella, and I will. I'll wait for you." then, he smiled his most dazzling smile. My favorite smile in the entire world.

I smiled back to him and held his hand that was holding mine earlier. I looked to his eyes and said "Thank you, for understanding. It's not that I hate you-" he chuckled softly while I was speaking "but give me some time, okay?" I sighed and let out the biggest smile for him. He nodded, then Hayley called my attention. "Bella, tomorrow night is our last day here, and we're very happy that we've met such beautiful people like you two." she said, pointing to me and Chloe. I smiled at her and felt that Taylor didn't let go of my hand.

"Oh... no. Thank you but me and Chloe were the happiest that we've met all of you. I, honestly didn't really expect that we would meet you and get to know you like this way. You are all great and I've never forget the things you did for me. I know that this is just a little thing for you but I will cherish this moment for my entire life. So, thank you. So much." I said, smiling at them and glancing to Chloe. She nodded and smiled at me.
