Part 21

Andrea;

He kissed me passionately, like he was afraid of losing me. His sudden force worried me, so I reluctantly pulled away from his soft lips. 

"Are you alright?" I asked, placing one hand on his smooth cheek. 

In response, he cupped his hand around mine, and stared into my eyes. 

"Yes."

I took my hand down at his curt reply. He looked away with remorse. 

"What's bothering you?" I tried. 

"Nothing's bothering me, Andrea."

I wanted to know what was wrong, but if he wouldn't let me into his heart, there wasn't any way of finding out. 

"Alright. I think I should be going, my mom is probably worried.." 

"No, you can't leave.." He protested. 

"Then tell me what's wrong," I sighed. 

"It's nothing, really, ok baby?" 

Although I didn't believe him, I decided to let him off easy. He didn't seem in the mood for questions. 

I nodded my head and moved over onto the right side of the bed. I had left some clothes here, in case I ever needed them. I took them out of the drawer, and made my way to the bathroom. I quickly changed into an oversized college sweater and a pair of Nike pros. I tied my long wavy hair into a messy bun and walked back out of the bathroom. 

"You're absolutely stunning.." A side smile rested on his handsome face. 

"Thank y-"

"Don't thank me. I want you to acknowledge how beautiful you are. That's all I ask."

I shook my head and smiled a little, as I laid down next to Leo. I pulled the thick white blanket over my almost bare legs and rested my head onto his chest. 

The sound of his breaths and heart beating were all I could hear, and all that mattered. 

I looked up and met with Leo's blue eyes, which had previously been staring at me. 

"Leo?"

"Yes princess."

"You know I love you, right?"

"I do. I love you too, Andrea."

"But did you know... Did you know that.. I'm in love with you?" I barely whispered.

 Loving someone, and being in love with someone are two very different things. But I knew for a fact that I was in love with him. Am in love with him. 

"You.. You're in love with me?" He spoke softly. 

"Well, are you not in love with me?" 

He looked down at me, and then closed his eyes and smiled, his cheeks creasing. 

"I am in love with you. You know this."

"Well it's not like you've ever told me.." I muttered. 

"Hm.. Maybe you're right. Well here it is. Andrea. My baby, my princess, my first and only love, my amazingly gorgeous girlfriend... I'm in love with you. I always have been in love with you, and I always will be."

I smiled, my heavy eyelids closing a small bit. 

"Good."

He laughed a small bit, and pulled my body closer to his. My head now resting on one of the pillows, and my hands tucked underneath. He mirrored me, and stared into my eyes. 

I shifted my weight and rolled even closer to him, if that was possible. I snuggled my head back into his chest, and he kissed my forehead before wrapping his arms around my waist. The lights were already turned off, so my eyes began to shut completely. Before I fell into a deep sleep, Leo began to to talk again. 

"I meant what I said before.. I am going to marry you." He said sleepily. Soft snores followed after his statement, and I too fell asleep.
