Best Friend with The Player

Chapter 16

Ellie's POV

" I think I love you too." I say

" think?" He replies

" yes think? I don't know why. I do love you, but we have been best friends for a long time. And then you went and hurt me like that.. and I'm having doubts.." I say honestly

" I'm sorry, will never be enough. I know that. I do love you. And NOT like a sister. I love everything about you. I love when you get embarrassed you start laughing, and when your nervous you gotta pee.."

I chuckle.

" I love when you always try and prove me wrong. Or when you're  happy you start doing this dance. And when you eat your food is always separated and you eat one thing first then move to the next. I love how you aren't greedy, or hateful. And to the world your this smiley, positive person when in reality, you feel like you aren't good enough. Let me tell you that you ARE good enough.. for everyone. Your the perfect amount of happiness and joy. I love how when you are in a non-happy state you hide it from others so they won't have to feel the way you are feeling. I love how you make others smile, and I love the way your hips sway when your walking. There is so much I notice about you. That if I kept going I think I'd take forever to say them all. But the one I love the most is when you put everyone before yourself! Gosh, I'm so in love with you! I'm never going to love someone the way I love you Ellie." He finishes with a breath

I hug him as a tear slips down my cheek.

" I forgive you." A breath of relief slips out of him.

His grip around me tightens. I don't know what to say. Will our friendship die? What happened now? What if we date, what happens then?

So many questions run through my mind.

" Ellie, I don't know if this is to soon to ask you this. I've been meaning to ask you this for years. I don't want our friendship to be ruin if it doesn't work out. But Eliana Grace May King  will you do the honor of being my girlfriend?"

" uhhh-"

" I knew it! Way to soon. Gosh I fucked yo so bad. Stupid stupid Gabe.." he starts walking away

" Gabe."

" why am I like this?"

" Gabe."

" why'd I have to do that to her? She so important.."

" GABE!" He whipped his head toward me
" yes I'll go out with you.."

I think I might regret this..

" seriously?" He asks

Well no turning back now, let's hope for the best..

" yes." I smile

He runs and embraces me into a huge bear hug.

"Thank you for giving me a second chance." He mumbles against the crook of my neck

" before we do this.." he sets me down. " promise me on thing?"

" anything for you!"
