Then Again, Maybe Not. (Our2ndlife fanfiction)

Chapter Thirteen

(Lexi's P.O.V.)

My eyelids slide open to see Kian still asleep, his one arm wrapped around me and the other bent behind his back. Aw, I thought to myself. He's so cute when he's sleeping. I smile and stroke his cheek, hoping I won't wake him up. I slowly and quietly get out of bed and walk to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. I pour a bowl of fruit loops, it's Kian's cereal so he won't care. Dork.

He comes up and hugs me from behind, putting his face in my hair and gently swaying side to side. "Morning, beautiful." I couldn't help but giggle and let a huge grin spread across my face. He giggles and pulls back, then grabs the box of cereal to pour some as I sit down at the table. He sits across from me and we both begin to eat.

"So about this party," I remark. "Where is it? Is it like at the beach, am I going to have to wear a swimsuit? Or is it like at a frat house? Are there going to be neon lights? Cause if there are I need to look through my clothes and find good colors to wear. Or is it like a regular house party, like can I wear casu--" I was cut off by his sudden laughter. "Babe," he says, still laughing. "Don't worry about it. You'll look gorgeous any way you dress." He smiles and comes around to the other side to kiss me on the cheek. I blush a bit and smile. "Okay, I guess haha. Thanks." I bite my lip. I love it when he compliments me like that, it's so cute.

He chuckles a little and smiles. "Anything for you, baby." Baby. Now that was adorable. I blush a little and smile. He gets up and grabs our bowls, and sets them in the sink. He comes back and grabs me by the waist, kneeling his forehead against mine. He hesitates to speak but eventually does. "I love you..." he whispers. I don't know what to say. I mean of course I love him. I love him with all my heart and soul. But can three little words really explain all of my feelings?

"Kian..." I look down at the ground for a moment, thinking of what to say, then I look back up. "I love you. I love you so much more than you could imagine. I love your laugh, I love your smile. I love the way you blush when I walk in the room. I love how you're so tall and have to kneel down to match my height. I love the way you talk about me in your sleep sometimes. I love how I could have had a bad day, then I see you and I'm completely happy again. I love how I fell for you quicker than I've ever fallen for anyone else before. And to think all this happened in just a week... though it seems like it's been years. Kian, I just... I just love you."

I look into his chocolate eyes for a moment, waiting for his response. He just stares right back, completely speechless. Oh no, I think. I know exactly what he's gonna say. 'I wish I could say the same about you, but...'

I crease my forehead in worry. "Is... is there something wrong?" I ask. He doesn't say anything but instead without hesitation leans in and gives me a long, passionate kiss. I kiss back, I'm guessing he's trying to say ' I love you, too'.

(Haley's P.O.V.)

I wake up on Jc's bed, facing the wall. I turn around to see if he's still there but his bed is empty. He's standing in front of the mirror hung above his dresser fixing his hair. I slide off the bed and lean against the dresser. When he sees me awake he smiles brightly and hands me the clothes I wore yesterday. "Morning, love." I blush a little. "Morning."

I go to the bathroom to change out of Jc's sweatpants and sweatshirt and into my own clothes. When I go back to his room I'm fully dressed. I try handing back his clothes but he shakes his head. "Keep them," he chuckles as I shrug and just keep holding them. "Alright. Thanks." I crack a smile for him. I hope it wasn't always going to be awkward like this. To be honest I think I am ready for another relationship, and I want it to be with Jc...
