Hunter & Julie

Scene 11

Her hair tickled my face.

"You could have worn your sweatpants and I would have thought you were just as beautiful."

"You could have worn only boxers and I would have still thought you were a Greek god."

"You'd like that wouldn't you" I joked and she flushed.

"I meant-"

"I know"

"Hunter" she rolled her eyes.

"Okay since you want my shirt off that bad" I pushed and took it off.

"Oh my-Hunter!" She covered her eyes and bit her lip. "Put it back on"

"Nah, I'm pretty content like this" I stood up to walked to the kitchen.

"Hunter?" She stopped me and I walked right back to her side.

"Yes baby?" She smiled quickly but then a frown took over her face.

"Do you ever feel like, I don't know" she trailed off and looked me in the eyes as if planning out her next move.

" How long did you and Rose hang out before if was official?" She asked looking at me face for a reaction.

I stood up and turned my back to her to hide my expression.

"I'm not sure, about a week or two."

"When did you...ERM"

"Say it Julie"

"When did you" jealousy was clear in her tone and that made me smile a little. Not because she was upset, but because I know that she cares. "When did you realize you loved her?" My smile quickly vanished. Fucking Rose.

"You know.." I sat back down next to her and she laid down on my lap and it caused her dress to rise at her thighs showing the bottom of her black laced boy shorts.

I shut my eyes to calm my teenage hormones down.

"I don't think I ever really loved her"

She was about to call bullshit.

"I mean yes I thought I loved her but I was really in love with the idea of true love, of a perfect match but meeting you, I realized I don't want perfect. I want real. You" I slid my hands down her soft body that latched on to mine like another limb. "You're real, I want you so why should I be tedious and deny the severity of my feelings for you. Why should I deny the fact that I'm completely, utterly, madly, unconditionally and irreversibility in love with merely the thought of you" I said as soon as I realized.

"Hunter-"

"You don't have to say it back" I said truthfully. "I just wanted you to know"

"Hunter, I love you possibly more than I love to breath or walk or blink. You're the reason my life has meaning now." She declared and my heart buzzed insanely in my chest.

"You are my life now" I said holding her close.

"Oh Hunter, say it again."

"I love you, I love you, I love you" I said and I would say it as much times as my lips and diaphragm consented.

"I'm never ever going to get tired of hearing that" she laughed and then she sniffled.

"Babe, are you crying?"

"What- ha- no....okay yes but I'm not sad"

"Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm scared that this might all be a dream and I'm going to wake up on the floor with Will-"
