(Elevens POV)
I ran out to Mike as fast as I could. He was sitting on his couch in the living room. I jumped right into him, hugging him really tightly.
"Mike!"
"El! What's up?"
I sat on his lap kind of sideways now. I looked him in the eye now, about to explain.
"Well... I love you too Mike!", I said not knowing what else to tell him.
"What? I love you too."
"I understand what it means now."
"Love? Did Nancy tell you?"
"Uh huh. It means that you like me a lot! I like you a lot too Mike!", I had no clue what I was talking about.
"Me too. I love you so much El. I'm so glad you're here. I don't know how I would've made my way through life without you. I love you. So much."
"Really Mike?"
"Yeah. I promise. I would never hate you, or get mad at you."
He was getting red again. And I had the feeling again. I didn't leave this time though. I looked at him and smiled a bit.
"What?", He said.
"Your embarrassed aren't you?"
"What? No. I'm not embarrassed.", He got more red that he's ever been.
I giggled.
"You think it's funny?", he started tickling me.
I fell down on the couch with my legs bent up. Mike was in the middle of them, tickling me. I laughed so hard. He always made me feel good. His redness went away when he started laughing too.
Mike was now on top of me, he had me pinned down. He was smiling down at me. It was a big goofy smile. His cute smile he does. His arms were on the couch, above my shoulders. My hands were on top of his shoulders. We stopped smiling and instead, we were now staring.
He stared at me, with his mouth wide open. He slowly got closer to my face until finally, he kissed me. Both our eyes were closed, and it lasted for a long time. Once he pulled away, I smiled. He smiled too, but looked down, and turned bright red again.
"That's what love is.", He told me.
