The beautiful sky

Chapter 4: What will become of us?

After me and Christen decided that it was time for me to get back home, we drive home. The car ride was silent. We get to my house and I start to open the door to get out when his arm grabs my arm. I stop in shock and I can't find any words to speak. He moves over...close, and he puts his lips to my ear and whispers "I will be up in a minute ". He then lets go off my arm and I nod and get out. I can't believe this is happening! I walk in to find my mom. She smiles and says "oh hey honey, how was the library? Oh and dinner will be ready in a few minutes ". If I have to come to dinner than I can't be with Christen..though why am I wanting to? I don't usually lie to my mom but in this case...one little lie wouldn't hurt...right? I look at her and say "oh...um..mom I don't really feel well, I think I'm just going to just go straight to bed if that is OK with you..". "oh of course honey, but if you change your mind I have a plate waiting on you" she smiles and goes back to cooking dinner. I walk up the stairs and open my door, and to no surprise I see Christen laying in my bed. "Do you love my bed or something? " I say with a smile. He smiles back and laughs a little and says "maybe just a little, but I do want to talk to you ". He puts his hand in a spot on the bed right by him and says "come here please ". I go and sit. I'm not sure what is happening here, but some part of me likes it?. He clears his throat and says, " I know you don't really know me, but I like you, a lot. I have liked you for a while but never gained the guts to talk to you..let alone ask you out." He's blushing by now, and dang he is beautiful when he does. I try to find the words to say something but I can't. Instead of sitting there looking stupid I decide to move closer and hug him and I look up at him. Why does he have to be so dang tall? I finally find the words and I say, " I know this will sound weird but when I'm with you I fell relax, safe, like I'm with my best friend but...than I feel something else. I don't know how to explain it...". He sighs and then smiles and says " I feel the same way. ". After that we decided to get to know one another, like our hobbies and music and etc. After awhile he says he has to go. We say goodbye and hug. I don't want him to leave, but I know he has to. He climbs down the tree and leaves. I go and get a shower and get in bed. I hug my pillow so I can go to sleep. I don't know what it is with me, but I have to be hugging something in order to sleep. I know as soon as my head hit that pillow that I wouldn't be able to sleep. That feeling in my stomach is still there and I can't help but think of Christen and what he said. He likes me. A guy likes me...me of all people. I can't believe it..its to good to be true, I know this. I'm just waiting on when I will finally wake up from this dream of mine.
I wake up and yet again there is Christen in the same chair doing the same thing as last time. " Morning sleepy head ", he smiles and laughs. I smile back and say, "so, is this going to be a regular thing now? ". He just smiles and stays silent. I get up and go to the bathroom to get dress. I come back and his laying in my bed. I think about it for a moment and then I say, " so...what are we? ". He smiles and laughs and than slowly gets up from the bed and walks over to me. He stands there for a minute and then says, " well...will you be my girlfriend? ". I smile at him and I know by now I'm blushing. I nod and say "yes". Now we are both blushing. He holds out his hand and I take it. The next thing I know we are laying in my bed just talking about everything under the sun. Can you believe that? I feel so different around him..a good different. It makes me think, is there more to my old life than what there was? Is this happiness? And..if so will it last?
