Falling For My Fake Boyfriend

20. More Than Friends With Benefits

I couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth. I didn't know to think or do so I did what I thought was right in that moment.

I kissed him.

He didn't pull back he wrapped his arms around my waist and it was everything I needed.

All the anger and sadness I've been holding in I finally let it out during that kiss.

That kiss, that one kiss that changed everything.

I pulled back and was shocked I did that.

"I'm really sorry I just can't believe you like me back and I'm freaking out so I thou-"

He interrupted my rambling sentence with a sweet and light kiss. I blushed slightly and smiled while brushing a strand of hair that fell loose from my ponytail away.

But I shouldn't be so happy, it's not like we are dating or anything, but not exactly in the friend zone.

I guess were just friends with benefits, even though I wish we were so much more.

"I know we haven't known each other for very long but I'm falling for you. I feel like we've known each other for years even though it's just been days. I can't help who I fall in love with. You just fall for that one person, and that one person is you. I didn't ask to fall in love with Kristen and you probably didn't ask to fall in love with Tristan either but that's why they call it falling in love because you just fall. I know this probably doesn't make any sense but what I'm try to say is will you be my girlfriend?"

A huge grin spread across my face and all I think about is his last five words.

Will you be my girlfriend?

Will you be my girlfriend

Will you be my girlfriend

"Snap out of your thoughts and answer the boy!" I told myself.

"Yes! I can't believe it but yes!" I said wrapping my arms around his neck. I know I'm extremely naïve but Mark wouldn't hurt me like Tristan did, right?

"But maybe I'm the one that could end up hurting him," my bad self conscience reminded me.

No that's ridiculous! I couldn't live with the thought that I possibly ruined someone's life.

Someone may act fine in person but you never know what they do when they go home.

"Why do you want to out with me?" I asked without thinking. Part of me thinks that what I just said was extremely rude and uncalled for but another part thinks it's exactly what I need to hear.

"Well besides your amazing personality, your kindness, and the fact that we totally understand each other, your so unbelievably beautiful," he smiled.

"Are just dating me because I'm beautiful? Do just like me because of looks huh?" I asked standing up from lap.

"Well why do you want to go out with me?" he fired back and stood up.

"Because I- I love you. I mean I can't control my feelings and your amazing and you understand everything and lets face it your extremely good looking. But lets just forget that for moment, your so sweet and you have the biggest heart in the world! That's why I want to date you."

"I love you too and I don't care if your bald or if your sick or whatever it is, I love you for you. For your personality and listen, I would love to sit here all night and complement you but it would take you long. Now obviously something is bothering you so tell me what's wrong," he said somehow calming a few of my nerves.

"Nothing's bothering me I'm fine," I said trying to denying that something is bothering me but I should push it away.

"Okay so here's the part where I say your not fine and then you deny it again and we back and forth until I finally get it out of you. Lets just skip that and tell me what's bothering you," he grabbed my hand and led me to a desk.

"Well this may sound dumb but I think it's stupid that people just date each because they're beautiful. It's like looking up at the millions of stars in the sky and saying one is more uglier than the other. One may be bigger or smaller but they are all made of the same thing on the inside. It's the inside that matters not the outside and I don't want to date someone that likes me for my looks."

He looked shocked by what I just said and I hope he's not going to break up with me for that.

"You sounded like an author, wow that was very well put. But I like you for your personality and your amazing looks is just a bonus but you are just absolutely right," he smiled and planted a slight kiss on my cheek.

For once I felt like I belong somewhere, with someone.
