Fate

Chapter 48: Star Gazing

"We only die once, so let us live."

(A:N): Guys, my book's cover has to be somehow original. So if anyone wants to volunteer to draw the cover, it'd be so amazing.

"You... What?" I gaped. Does he mean it? I mean, does he really love me? Like he's in love with me or does he just 'love me'. Does that mean I wasn't the only one to fell? What if it's true?

He's already my boyfriend and my best friend. I can't believe he said that he loves me after knowing and living in my troublesome life. Why wasn't he freaked out? Why didn't he run away? Or even why didn't he leave when I pushed him away the very first time? I've never heard those three words since André—and knowing how things ended up, I got a little afraid. Afraid that he might leave. Afraid that he might get bored of me. Afraid that he might find another girl that's more beautiful, skinnier, shorter. And that her hair isn't flaming red, or that she's a model. Daniel is indeed gorgeous and I'm sure he had girls swooning over him his whole life but he's so oblivious to notice it.

"I love you." Daniel repeated, it was barely a whisper as his eyes touched my soul.

But do I love him back? Does my heartbeat at the sight of him? It goes boom badoom boom badoom, everytime I take a glimpse of him even if he's right next to me.

Do I feel like I want him more than I need him?

Do I feel like I want him to be with me all the time?

Do I really want this? Do I really want to take the risk and put my heart on the last string I have. Do I risk to break my heart once again. But whom am I kidding, you can't break what's already broken. If I can live with the shattered pieces of my heart, and if I can live with the pain, I can live with Daniel.

But do I really love him?

"I know this happened way too fast and you shouldn't really say it back right now, but it's okay. I can wait. I mean, I really love you though. And I don't think someone would love someone like me, man how is that even possible. But look, Si, I love—"

"I love you too, you idiot." Was my answer. My ear to ear grin was so visible as he mirrored mine. The answer seemed to take him off guard as he kept looking around him and run his hands through his hair, messing it up more than it is.

"You're kidding right?" He finally said after a long pause of pacing back and forth.

"Do I look like someone who just throws jokes?" I glared at him.

"Yes."

"I know but," I laughed, "This is serious here." I pointed it out.

"I can't believe it! Sierra fucking Remirez loves me!" He ran and shouted in the balacony and I ran to catch him up just at time before the whole neighborhood would here my confessions. He was literally just wrapped around with sheets, and so am I. We were like crazy couples standing in the balacony naked.

"Stop, stop. You're crazy."

"Crazy for you." And then he leaned in and kissed me. It was a short, sweet kiss but it was amazing. It's like everytime he kisses me the whole world disappears. It's like it's only me and him and our lips locking together.
