Thankfully we reached the train on time, we scuffled inside the carriage and walked down through the Isles looking for free seats, getting many dirty looks from passengers as we did so, probably due to the fact that we were soaked to the bone and leaving a trail of water as we walked. We were still both in a giddy mood and anything that happened set us off into a fit of giggles which didn't help the impression we were making on the other passengers, but we didn't care.
Eventually we found a table right next to a heater and we sat down. Niether of us said anything for a few seconds, I knew he was thinking about the kiss, so was I. I wanted to say something but I physically couldn't form the words in my mouth, eventually I just figured what could possibly go wrong and decided to ask.
"So about that kiss..?" I asked, a small smile playing on my lips.
"I like you Skylar" he blurted out. The use of my full name showed me that he was serious about his words.
I opened my mouth to respond but he cut me off.
"I really, really like you, I don't care if you don't feel the same way but I have to get this out. I always felt something for you, I was just never certain in what exactly it was that I felt but I know now. Letting you go was the biggest mistake I've ever made, falling out of touch with you was the worst thing I've ever been through, but having these feeling for you, bottled up inside of me for so long was the hardest thing ever, I'm sorry if this is too soon and by no means am I asking you to feel the same way for me but I need you to know, I need you to know that I like you. A lot. I completely under stand if you don't feel the same but I've always felt a connection with you, you make me go crazy Sky, even with the smallest of things. You make me nervous when I'm around you , you make me feel some kind of way everytime I see you, I feel Sparks everytime we touch."
He continued rambling on about how he's sorry if I don't feel the same way, he didn't notice the massive smile that overtook my face, he didn't notice me leaning across the table, but he sure as hell noticed it when my lips were on his. The kiss was short and sweet, but just what I needed to do to show him that everything he feels for me, I feel the same right back at him.
"I like you too Rye, and I kind if always have" I said nervously.
"I want to ask you to be my girlfriend but on one hand my mind is saying that it's too soon and on the other it's reminding me that we've been friends for years. I know almost everything about you, I'm sick of being just friends with you, I want more then that, so Skylar, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked nervously.
"What kind if an idiot would I be if I said no to you" I laughed.
A look of relief washed over his face. It was amusing to see him so flustered. So hot and bothered all because of me. I felt happy, like genuinely happy. The type of happiness where you have a massive smile on your face that you can't get rid of and a feeling of warmth and contentness in your stomach.
"I need to warn you though, I might not be much good at this boyfriend thing so you'll have to bear with me on this" he said laughing.
I laughed back at him, admiring his smile, appreciating his beauty and wondering
how in Gods name did I get so lucky to have him in my life, to have him as my best friend and now, to have him as my boyfriend...

~Ryes p.o.v~ (surprise)
God she's so beautiful I thought to myself as I watched Sky. It took a few minutes for it to actually sink in, that I finally plucked up the courage to tell her how I feel about her. I know she's only been back a few days and we've only just caught up but what about the many other years we spent together before she left? They don't just go away. We have history together , we've already went through the 'just friends' stage and I never want to go back there again. I always knew that someday there could be something more between us, I just never knew when that day would be. She makes me happy, she makes me feel whole and she's absolutely gorgeous. And she's mine. I refrained from telling her I love her today, I felt like it would be too much but I do, I love her with all my heart and it scares me sometimes. She has my heart wrapped around her little finger and she could break it at any moment but she won't, because I trust her. I've never properly loved a girl this much before. I've had girlfriends but they've never meant this much to me. I watched Sky as she gazed out the window and made a promise to myself
I'm never letting her go again!
