I'll Always Be Here For You, Forever And Always (Merome)

Chapter 4

Here you guys go sorry for not updating I was busy and stuff so ya here you go.

(JEROME'S POV)

He hates me now, I know he does. I could feel my eyes get blurry from the tears that threatened to spill. He had asked if what I had said was true, I tried to explain to him that I did like him in a way where he wouldn't hate me but he cut me off before I could finish my sentence.

"Jerome, I don't hate you, I would never hate you. You're my best friend. I wouldn't hate you if you killed somebody, became a criminal, or even killed yourself. I'd be disappointed but I wouldn't hate you. Just because you like me doesn't mean I'd hate you. I just wanted to know if it was true or not." He said reassuring me that he didn't actually hate me.

"Well, I do like you there you have it, are you happy now." I said in almost a yell, as the tears began pouring out of my eyes and I backed away from Mitch. "I like you and have for a long time now. I know you'd never like me and never will so I kept it a secret. You weren't supposed to hear what I was talking about with Adam, but you did and-" He cut me off for what seemed the millionth time and the last time for me.

"Jerome, please don't cry I didn't mean to make you cry and how do you know I don't-" This time I cut him off by saying "No Mitch don't play 'sorry' with me, it won't work this time, and look at you and look at me, you deserve way better than me. Why are we even fighting? This is pointless Mitch, pointless." I said getting more frustrated than I already was, and began to walk out of the kitchen.

"Jerome don't you dare walk out of here," He said getting mad, "I wanted to talk to you and tell you that I do like you, it was just a matter of time before I realized it, and it's not pointless Jerome or at least not anymore, I told you I liked you. I like you a lot and I think I might be in love with you." He hesitated his next words but to me he didn't need to say anything else. He liked me, maybe even love me, and that made my heart skip a beat. Wait he might love and I love him, but I couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or not 'cause I had turned my back to him and couldn't see his face.

I turned around to face Mitch and found he was so close to my face that our noses were touching and again my heart skipped a beat. "Mitch, how do I know you're telling the truth? You could be just saying that-" he cut me off by grabbing my neck and pulled me into a kiss. My eyes were wide with shock as he was kissing and before I knew it I was kissing him back and had closed my eyes.

(MITCH'S POV)

I had once again cut Jerome off but I did it by kissing him this time. When I had first kissed him he was tense and then he had come to realize what was happening and kissed back. After what felt like forever, we pulled back catching our breath.

"So, does that prove that I like or love you, Jerome?" I asked with a smile, knowing what he'd say next.

"Yeah, I guess it does Mitch, I guess it does, but that kiss was.. wow. I loved it." He said trying to stop smiling but couldn't and neither could I. We walked to the couch in the living room and sat down. Jerome snuggled into my chest and wrapped his arms around me and sighed a happy sigh. I slung my arm around his shoulder and brought him closer to me than he already was, and turned the T.V. on.

"Wait Mitch," Jerome started to say as he got up from his position, "I'm confused, are we just going to say we like love each other and kiss then just snuggle on the couch and forget about it or what?"

"Well Jerome, how about this?"

"How about what?" He asked still confused as to what our relationship status was.

I pulled him in for another kiss. His soft lips made me want to kiss him forever, I know that's cheesy but it's true. We pulled back after a few minutes to catch our breaths. "Jerome, will you go out with me?" I asked already knowing what his answer would be.

"Yes, Mitch, of course you idiot." He said then hugged me.

"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked looking back at the T.V. screen.

"Why don't we go to the store and rent a movie, if that sounds good to you?" He asked looking at me with those beautiful brown eyes. I guess I got lost in them because he started poking me.

"Hey, Mitch. Mitch. MITCH!!" He yelled trying to get my attention.

"Oh wait what? Oh yeah sounds good to me. Sorry." I said starting to blush.

"Okaaaay then lezz go" He said getting up and going to the door.
