You & I || H.S.

Chapter 23

“It’s everything.” I gulped then shot him a smile.

I fell silent as I watched him leaning closer to me slowly. His lips crashed onto mine and I closed my eyes. I can’t describe the feeling inside of me right now, but I felt better than anytime before. Why can’t he feel my love for him? Why can’t he ask me to be his? I would give up anything and in this exact moment, I’d do anything to keep it going.

Seconds later we pulled back and my blue eyes met his beautiful, green ones. We sat in silence, just staring at each other’s eyes. Why am I so in love with him? Why am I so addicted to him? Why does he have this huge effect on me? I always look for suitable answers to these questions, but when I look at his eyes, I find them all, clear as a clear, blue sky.

“Be my girlfriend.” I heard him say, but didn’t believe. I must be imagining things and hearing voices. Harry won’t ask me to be his girlfriend, but did he just do? Did he just ask me to be his girlfriend?

“What?” I breathed, not believing what I just heard. He looked at me for a moment then pushed some hair strands falling from my ponytail behind my ears slowly. How could a small action like this affect me so much?

“Be my girlfriend.” It came out much more as a demand than a question.

My eyes instinctively widened and my lips parted. I can’t believe he just asked me to be his girlfriend. Ever since I knew Harry, I waited for this moment. And now that it came, I can’t believe it. I stared at him and a wide smile found its way to my face.

“Yes.” I said, my voice coming out as a whisper. He stared at me, confusion evident over his features. I smiled even wider then sighed. “YES!” I shouted and heard him laugh.

I laughed along with him and he stared at my eyes then smiled. Our lips met again and this time, it felt different. Knowing I’m his, it was sweeter. I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I can’t ignore. It was fear I guess, fear of leaving Harry after what happened right now, fear of him breaking me, fear of the things that might come next. But I threw all of this fear behind my back and enjoyed this moment; the happiest moment of my life. How I wish he knew how I felt about him, but I can’t tell him. He’ll think I’m that pathetic girl who’s had a crush on this hot guy from school and I can’t be this girl.

We pulled back and I grinned at him. He smiled at me then engulfed me in a tight hug. “You’re mine.” He whispered in my neck and my heart melted at his words. I hugged him tighter.

“I’m yours.” I assured him.

We pulled back seconds later and I found Harry smiling widely, dimples showing.

“I need to go or I’ll be late. I’ll call you today?” I said and he nodded.

“I’ll call you.” I grinned at him then placed a kiss on his cheeks before stepping out of the car.

I turned and saw him waving at me. I waved back with a smile on face. He drove away and I was left alone in the street.
