Leo's POV 

I stare deeply into her eyes. They resemble the galaxy: endless, beautiful and mysterious. I keep on replaying the words that came out of her mouth just now. My heart is pounding rapidly and loudly. So loud she might hear it. BA-DUMP. BA-DUMP. I couldn't take my eyes off of hers. "Leo?" she asks, waving her small precious hands in front of my face. I clear my throat. "You're not selfish Olivia," I said, ridding the nicknames to let her know I'm being serious.

"You're insanely beautiful. Your smile lights up my world. Your eyes are full of adventure. And when you look at me on a cold winter day, it's as if I'm melting. You give me a sense of warmth and comfort again and again. You have this energy and there's no dull moment when I'm with you. When I'm with you everything feels so right. You have no idea how many times I wanted to just hug you and never let you go. To have you in my arms and your lips on mine. To call you mine." I take her small hand and place it on my chest. "Do you feel that? That's my heartbeat. And it's beating fast because you're beautiful face and self is in front of me and everything you just said. How you want me. You make me remarkably happy. I just want to kiss you." 

"Then do it" she whispers, cheeks flushed with the color of roses. 

I close all the distance between us and pull her onto my chest. I wrapped my arms around her waist. I put a piece of her hair behind her ear. Our eyes meet and our fingers interlock one by one. 

Her lips were finally on mine.
