A Shot At Love

Chapter 16~Figuring it all out

"I do. I really do. But I wouldn't want to get into this if I didn't think you were worth all of the complications." I stand up and begin pacing back and forth. I find myself pacing more and more now a days, and that's not good. Trey stands up along with me, looking at me hesitantly.

"You know, we shouldn't do this. We've barely been friends for two seconds. This isn't a good idea." I rush out, not even taking a glance at him to see what his expression was.

"You know, why do we have to be friends first?" His outburst makes me instantly stop pacing, and look at him. "Do you know the saying 'friends before a relationship have no passion'? Well I totally agree with that. Just take a risk and get and into something that you have no clue what your're getting into. Because if we stay friends for any longer, everything will be ruined. All the surprises that come along with a relationship, with me, will be spoiled. So i'm begging you to just take the risk, and think about this moment and not five minutes minutes from now, not tomorrow, not next week, not next month, not next year. Just right now. Me here with you, asking you for the love of god to be with me."

The passion, and magic in his eyes made my heart stop. My brain shut off and I stopped thinking. His words runs through my head, and effects my answer majorly.

"Yes." I say lightly, but I know he still heard me. Even though he says 'what'. Because I know that's just for clarification.

"Yes," I repeat. "Yes I'll go out with you. I'll be your other half. I'll be your girlfriend. I'll be the one you'll come to when you need to talk, or when you just want someone to hold you. I'll be that girl. I'll take that risk. But you have to promise me that you wont hurt me, and that you'll take care of me. Because my life is messed up. So before we do this, you need to know that your're taking a huge risk as well. " I ramble as I stare into his eyes.

He walks towards me, until his body is pressed against mine. He looks me deep in the eyes before saying "Fall, I made my decision the night you stayed up with me until morning hours on the phone." Then he kisses me.

The kiss is more soft and sweet than the one we shared a few moments ago. We take our time pushing our lips together, as a way of telling each other that we're all in. His hands snake around my waist, holding me in place. My hand holds the black of his neck, pulling him down towards me, so I could get better access to his lips. I don't think i'd get use to the feeling of his lips on mine. They're so soft, and plump, and it feels like i'm in heaven.

I once thought that the idea of trading saliva was anyway enjoyable, was lunatic. But my thoughts were completely wrong. because right here rightt now, is the best i've felt in a long time. Though no matter how much pleasure kissing Trey is, I still need to breath, which is the reason I pull away from his lips.

"You do know we have to breath right?" I breath out as Trey whines when I break the kiss.

"I mean we don't have to. We can run out of breath and die kissing eachother. Isn't that romantic." He says and he rest his forehead against mines. I laugh out at how stupid he sounds, and lean up and peck his lips. I step back away from him to give us a little personal space.

"As much as I would love to stand here and live in the moment, we can't. We have to discuss what's gonna happen when Monday come. When we go back to school. When I go back to work with Nicole. When I have to face my friends, and when you have to face yours. When we have to take up reality." I say, breaking us out of our farytale moment.

"As of now we take things slow. We keep it a secret." My face falls, and Trey automatically notice it and tries to cover up his words. "No no no, it's not like i'm ashamed of you. It's just i'm not ready for the school to start talking and spreading rumors. Plus Nicole, and I don't feel like arguing with her and i doubt you do either."

"So when are we suppose to see each other huh? See this was a bad idea." I start walking away towards his car, until he stops me from going any further.

"No, Fall, this is not a bad idea. We can see each other in school, just not romantically. Only as friends. I promise it won't be for long. Just until we can find a way to tell Nicole. I can handle the school words, just don't give up on us when us havn't even began." He pleads

"Ok, fine. I understand. I'm just overreacting like I always do. I'm not giving up, I swear." Trey leans over and kiss me on the forehead before taking my hand and leading me towards his car.

"So, did you get any thinking done?" I question, as a joke, already knowing he didn't.

"You got jokes don't you? You know dan.m well I didn't any thinking done." Trey says with a chuckle. "But I did get you. And that's all better than any thought that could have possibly ran through my brain today."

We reach the car and our hands depart as we get inside the car.

"Where to next?" Trey says as he starts his car.

"Food." I state, and he glances over at me with a smile. He leans over the console and kisses me, before pulling away and buckling in his seat belt. As he starts backing out, our hands intertwine and at the moment everything feels as if it's going to be ok.
