Say Goodbye

18.Be My Valentine

Ivan's P.O.V.

And I knocked.

It took a while before she reached the door. Her leg was still in a cast, but she managed to walk away from me with a scowl on her face, leaving the door open for me.

I closed the door behind me then took off my shoes and jacket. Following her to the living room, I see her wearing one of my sweatshirt. When the heck did I leave that here? Oh well, she looks better in it than me anyways... She was wearing gym shorts and leg warmers over her cast. Her figure looked thinner than the last time I've seen her but she did add color to her face more.

I silently took a seat beside her, leaving a palm length space between her. Her eyes only gave the attention to the television. I don't even know what she was watching but I'm pretty sure it was on commercial.

"Can we talk?" I said softly.

"Aren't we doing that right now?" She snarled. That stubborn little (insert swear word)... Sighing, I reached for the remote control by her side and pressed the button 'off'.

"I was watching that!" She yelled.

"Well I was talking!" I screamed back. Her face grew red as her diamond eyes darted to mine. "Can we just talk?"

"No." She stated flatly and stood up.

"Chrene." I stood up also.

"Leave." She pointed to the door. For a moment, my eyes looked over to the door.

"Not until we're done talking."

"Can you ju - "

Crashing lips, smashing lips - you call it. All I know was I was kissing her once again. My hands grasped the small of her back, bringing her body towards me a bit more. She was for once, responding to the kiss. Her fingers ruffled through my hair, making me throw a sound into the kiss and she smiled.

It felt better than anything in the world. More phenomenal than receiving a thousand bucks as a gift or getting a new car. You name it. It's not all the time that you get to feel this ecstatic about something.

Before letting go, she pecked me a few more times on my lips while I smiled. Her lips tasted like coffee and a mixture of mint. They were soft like a feather in pillows. I wanted more of her. Her arms looped around my neck as she stared into my eyes, a smile pulling at both our lips.

"I'm sorry." She said.

Well, a kiss can solve a lot.

"I'm sorry too." I said, which made her smile grow even bigger.

"Look - "

"We can talk about your injury later." She looked relieved as soon as I said that and only nodded.

"But, "

"But what?" I questioned.

"But, you should know I like you too." Her nose crinkled adorably at me. I gave her a kiss on her temple.

"I was hoping you'd say that." I praised. She giggled, that amazing laugh and that made my heart jump with joy. "I've missed you." I add.

"I've missed you more." She tiptoed on her good leg and pecked my lips again.

"So...are we like boyfriend and girlfriend now?" I asked. She laughed dryly in my face as I stood there confused.

"Have you learned nothing about me as your bestfriend?" She arched her eyebrows. I shook my head.

"I go on dates then we'll see where we go from there." She cocked her head and scanned my face, practically stopping at my lips again.

"But we just - "
