The Guy I Met In College (COMPLETE)

I want to be

I look down at Priya and can't believe the words 'I love you' have just exited my mouth. She has fresh tears forming in her eyes and I really don't know why. I know she loves me. I know it.
"You love me?" She asks laughing a bit and letting a tear escape from her eyes.
"Yes" I smile using my thumbs to wipe away her tears.
"Your an idiot!" Priya laughs while playfully hitting my chest.
"How?" I ask a bit offending.
"Now you tell me!" Priya smiles playing with the fabric on my shirt.
"I've been telling you" I mumble. Priya looks up at me in confusion. I smile at her and wrap my arm around her waist.
"What do you mean?" She asks cocking her head to the side.
"This," I say grabbing her wrist gently and raising it. The charm bracelet dangles on her wrist and I smile.
"I got this made for you." I smile and unwrap my hand from her waist and flick the heart on the bracelet. It shines as it spins on the chain, it cost a lot too but Priya is worth it. I lower her arm, and place my arm around her waist again. She doesn't fight me, she lets me. I look at her and she has more tears glistening in her eyes.
"But Aman..." she whispers.
"And the flowers, and the candy, and the notes... that was the only way I could show my love to you." I smile while watching as Priya smiles sadly at me.
"How long?" She asks letting a tear roll down her cheek.
"Have I loved you?" I ask trying to confirm the question.
"Haan" she whispers while looking down at our feet. I lift her chin so she looks at me.
"From the very first moment we met." I smile. I can see that Priya is shocked and struck by what I've said. But it's true, I have loved her since I first saw her. The expression on Priya's face tells me she is at a loss of words. I take this opportunity to bring my hands to her face. I cup her cheeks and stare at her for an answer, I receive it right away and I feel my heart start beating faster. I start to lower my face to hers and know that this is our moment. I hesitate as my lips almost touch hers. Then Priya wraps her hands around my neck pulling me down and into the kiss. The kiss sends sparks through my body as Priya starts to experience with me. Her hands start running through my hair and I smile against her lips. I've wanted this for  so long now, now I have her in my arms and her lips sealed with mine. I lower my hands from her face, down to her waist. I pull her incredibly close and I can feel her heartbeat beating against her chest hard. She's as nervous as me. Yeah I've shared many kisses with other girls but nothing like this. I feel Priya slightly bite my lip as we pull away for air. It's like just doesn't want to let me go. I rest my forehead on hers as we catch our breath. A small smile creeping onto my lips as I look down at my arm around her waist.
"Aman..." Priya starts to say.
"Haan" I respond cutting her off.
"I love you too." She says and I don't even have to look at her to tell she is smiling. I've waited to hear those words fall from her mouth from the very second I knew I loved her. I lift my head from hers and look at her, she looks at me and there is a slight nervousness in her eyes. She's nervous I will break her heart, she is nervous that I will hurt her... I don't want to hurt her. I just want to be able to love her, love her like I've never loved anyone in my life.
"Aman?" Priya asks snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I respond while moving my arms from around her waist.
"Are... are we a... thing?" Priya asks nervously while biting her bottom lip.
"Only if you want to be" I say trying not to push her. She probably has her doubts about me, and I don't blame her. I'm a very secluded person, I keep secrets, I lie, I know. But I'm not lying about how much I love Priya. I will try not to hurt her. I will give her my all if she wants a relationship. I will treat her carefully, I can see it in her eyes that she is still delicate. Probably because she has never really had a real relationship before... and I'm ready to give her one.
"I want to be." She smiled while grasping my gaze into her hers. I lean forward and place a soft kiss on her lips. When I feel her kissing me back my mind goes into a frenzy, I've never felt this way about anyone before. Her arms wrap around my torso as I keep my hands on her waist. I kiss her passionately, I kiss her with a force knowing I don't want to let her go. By the way she is kissing me back, I know she doesn't want me to let her go either.
