Floral & Fading (Kellic)

~K~

Things have been going great, no, amazing.

I don't think I ever felt so many emotions in a small period of time. For the first time in forever, I feel loved.

Vic and I have been dating for 4 months now and I think I love him. No, I know I love him.

Over the time I have been falling hard and fast for him. Like I'm falling down a long rabbit hole that can either end with a soft landing know as love, or a hard, painful landing known as heartbreak.

That's why I'm afraid. I don't want that hard landing, I don't want to be heartbroken.

But I can't keep these feeling from him anymore. I have to tell him I love him.

Taking a deep breath and doing a once over in the mirror like I've been doing for the last 20 minutes, I hear a soft knock at the door

"Kells?" I look at the reflection in the mirror, seeing Cara leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed

"Didn't I say 20 minutes ago if you didn't move from that mirror I was going to take all your skirts AND makeup away" She said with her brow raised

"Please don't make me do this" I signed as I pouted at her, giving her the puppy dog eyes.

"Darling I'm not forcing you to do anything, I know you want to do this, you are just scared for what has yet to happen, am I right" Her words sent chills down my spine, it was true, I am scared but I want to do this "Now, get your butt down there and tell that Mexican the truth"

I took a deep breath and nodded at myself.

I turned away from the door and gave cara a shaky smile.

Once I walked out the room and stared down the stairs, every step I took, my trembling worsened.

Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, I took a breath, slowly walk into the living room, where my boyfriend is sat on the coach looking down at his phone.

Hearing the creaks of the hard wood floor, he looked up and smiled at me. God, that smile took my breath away.

"Hey princess, how are you doing today" he questioned, cocking his head to the side a little bit.

I didn't answer him, just stood there, having an internal battle with myself.

"You okay?" he said worriedly, taking me out my trance to now see him waving a hand over my face, crouching down so he was my height

"Did you forget your notepad?" He asked, I shook my head, I want to tell him.

Taking a deep breath, I look up at him and take his hand, and bringing it up to where my heart was.
"Kellin? What are you doing?" He asked 

"I-" I started, my voice cracking. I cleared my throat and started again.
"I l-love you" I said, well it came out as "I wub ou" since I haven't spoken in so long.

"I love you" I said more clearly this time.

I felt my heart thumping against my chest, my palms getting sweaty, I flushed and looked away from him.

His hand dropped from my chest as he just stood there, staring wide eyed at me.

I suddenly felt cold, my heart dropped to my stomach, I felt sick. Realization dawned on me,
He doesn't love me.

This is what heartbreak felt like.

Tears threatened to spill from my eyes, I covered my face, letting out a broken sob as I turned away from him, about to walk away.

"Kellin" he grabbed my arm, making me turn back around. He put his hands on my hips and pulled me into him, holding me tightly.

We just stood there, me trembling with tears rolling down my cheeks and letting out sobs.
After a few seconds, he pulled away, looking me in the eyes, caressing my cheek softly.
"Kellin, I-" he sighed "I fucking love you too" he said.

I stared at him as I let the words sink in. He loves me, he fucking loves me
I felt lightheaded as everything seemed to go in slow motion. His slightly chapped lips met mine, fitting perfectly together like puzzle pieces. Cliché right.

Sparks of electric love shot through my body as our lips moved against each other's hastily.

Once I ran out of breath, we pulled away and rested our foreheads against each other, and staring into each other's eyes.

"I'm in love with you Kellin Quinn" he says, looking at me directly in the eyes, caressing my cheek with his rough, yet gentle hands.

I smile up at him, a rosy blush painted across my cheeks, and my body ecstatic, yet calm.

"I'm in love with you Vic Fuentes" With that, he swept me up and spun me around, making me giggled and squeal.

I heard clapping coming from the other room, making us stop what we were doing and look to see what the noise was.

"That was- that was beautiful" Cara came around the corner sniffling as she held a bucket of popcorn.

"Cara what the hell" Vic said in an exasperated tone.
"We are not in a movie" he grumbled. She held her hands up in surrender "Hey, all I was doing is making sure you didn't hurt him, but then things got real interesting and I got hungry and boom, I have popcorn and a video camera"

"That does not- wait what video camera" Vic said, looking at her hands "you don't have one in your hands"

"Oh shit" she muttered under her breath "Oh did I say video camera, I meant uh- teddy bear" She winced and laughed nervously.

Vic looked at her, then put me down and started looking around the room frantically.

I was just standing there, looking really lost to what is going on.

"Aha! Found it ya creep" He pulled out a small camera that was in between two book on the bookshelf "Have you been watching us!" He threw his arms up

"Well, uh, maybe a little bit" she closed her thumb and pointer together only leaving a little crack in between them to represent

"Freaking weirdo" he muttered and looked at his watch as he shook his head. He then turned to me with a guilty look in his eyes "Baby, I have to go- I'm so sorry but I promise I'll text you later" he quickly apologized as he saw the pout spread on my lips.

I nodded and walked with him to the door as he stepped out. He turned around and gave me a sweet kiss before pulling away and pecking my forehead.

"I love you" He smiled turning around and walking down the stairs
"I-I love you t-too" I squeaked out, still having trouble with my words.

Man, I really do love him.
