The Secrets

1- That night

"Adrian" he looked at me, his eyes seeming to shine under the stars "Do you look in the mirror and see what I see?"

Taken aback by his question, I shrugged, which in fact- did not impress Ryantt, as he bit the inside of his lip, his body-language for 'I'm being serious right now' and also, an extreme turn-on.

"Adri, I'm being serious" he said, confirming my previous thought and snapping me out of my semi-lustful daze.

"Oh, um.. I see myself, a human. Someone who has dreams and morals..I guess" I looked down and blushed, feeling extra shy tonight. I always loved Ryantt, his beautiful smile and perfect dimples. It had been impossible not to fall in love. I daydreamed of his lips meeting mine for the first time, how perfect and romantic it would be, our first time together, how the pain of it would be worth it.

"I love you" he said, even though I wasn't sure if that's what he said, but I blurted out "I love you too" earning me a 'Um, what?' look.

"That's..Uh..Not what I asked" He looked away, his cheeks red "I had asked if you'd like to join me for- Oh never mind" His eyes looked everywhere, anywhere, but at me.

I wanted nothing more to curl up into a ball in this very moment.

"I'm sorry, Ry" I said, trying to meet his eyes "I didn't mean to force- I didn't- You told me that you didn't-" I struggled to find words, my eyes glazing over "I always fuck things up, don't I?" I put my head in my hands and let out a sigh.

"No, you didn't" Ryantt said, still not looking at me "I'm just, I'm not sure how to feel for you quite yet"

I picked up my head "What's that mean?"

"I love you, too" He whispered, sitting next to me "I love you. I've always loved you..I knew, that day in the 7th grade when you fell and broke your arm and you were crying and screaming from the pain..but then you saw my cut, and you told me-" His eyes filled with tears "You told me that I matter just as much as you did, and you cleaned the cut, broken arm and all" He looked up at me again, a small mile on his face "Adrian, That's the day I realized you were the one"

I looked into his hazel eyes, feeling him slip his hand into mine. 

"I don't- Ryantt.." I trailed off, I had no voice tonight, it felt like the first time we met back in the 3rd grade, when he asked me if I could swing after me, and I gave up my seat after, but not without asking his name.

"Actions speak louder than words" he spoke slowly, his eyes never leaving mine "Show me..please show me you feel the same"

And with that, he brought his lips to mine, and thats where we stood.

Kissing underneath the stars.
