Tatum's POV:
"Shut up, you're gorgeous." Said my school crush, Watson.

We used to go to school together, obviously. He was a friend of mine before I did cyber school. He would stick up for me sometimes, and he was honestly super nice.

I blushed and looked down at my bed. We were currently facetiming and I was so happy. It had been so long since I've talked to him. And well.. I kinda did used to have a huge crush on him.

But I have Ross now, and he makes me feel like no one ever has.

"I miss you so much, Tatum. Seriously, you should really come back. You were my lil buddy," he fake frowned. I giggled a bit and shook my head.

"I really wish I could, Watson. I miss you too. But you know I can't come back.." I trailed off, feeling insecure and embarrassed about my past.

Everybody was just pure rude to me in school. No one ever liked me. I was the girl that sat in the back of the class with no one. I could never go back to that place. I'm happier now, and I want to stay that way.

"I know, I'm sorry. It just so lonely without you."

"Nobody liked me. And nobody missed me I'll bet. I mean, other than you and Jordan," I sighed, playing with my fingers.

"No, Tatum. That's where you're wrong. I love you and I miss you," he said sternly.

He loves me? Watson Rivers loves me? Is this even happening? He's been my crush for so long, and all this time he's loved me? No.

"I-I'm sorry, I gotta go. Bye Watson," I stuttered, hurriedly ending the facetime call.

I took in a deep breath and exhaled. This cannot be happening. I'm dreaming, right? I really hope so.

Just the Ross walked into my room, carrying a pizza box. I half smiled at him as he gave me a big bright grin. He just seemed so happy, and I love it when my baby is happy. It makes me happy.

"Well you seem mighty happy today, huh?" I giggled, standing up and walking towards him.

"I am, because I finally made it to your house and I can now see your beautiful face," he winked flirtatiously. I bit my lip trying to hold back my smile.

"Hug me boy, I missed you." I opened my arms widely.

"Gladly," he smiled, pulling me into his chest. I sighed with content and let his wonderful scent fill my nose.

"I love you."

Those three words rolled off of his tongue so easily. We've been together for about three months now, and he's so confident about saying it. I hear it everyday at least one time. He's so sweet and I love it so much. But do I love him?

Yes, I've loved Ross when he was in R5 and he had no idea who I was. But do I love love him? I mean, when I'm with him, I feel like a whole other person. I get little butterflies in my stomach every time I see the boy. I'm happy, no matter what around him. I get a bit jealous when I see him with other girls. If he gets hurt, I panic, even if it's just a little cut. Am I in love with Ross?

I thought about it. I honestly think I'm ready. I'm ready to let Ross know how I feel about him. He's perfect to me. And he's told me he loved me plenty of times. It makes me feel special and wanted. Well, it's Ross's turn to feel special.

"I love you too, Ross."

I looked up at him. His eyes widened. His heart beat quickened. A smile slowly crept onto his face. And I smiled, seeing him this way.

"Tatum.." He looked at me. I nodded, confirming it.

"You heard me right, baby. I love you," I giggled at his shocked expression.

He smiled so wide. He's too cute. He looked like the happiest guy alive.

"I love you so damn much baby girl," he placed his head on mine. My heart fluttered. These nicknames always get to me.

"I love you too baby boy," I pecked his cheek.

"Should we tell the fans..?"

What?
