My brow furrows, and the heartbeat I had managed to contain threatens to burst out of my chest.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, breathing softly in between my words.

"I got up for water, and I saw you out here... I was curious." He replies, biting his lip and avoiding my gaze.

I'm confused. This is the Johnny I've come to know? The one screwing girls, getting drunk, fighting and seeming ignorant? He seems as innocent as he was at twelve years old.

"Well you found me." I blush, trying to calm my stupid heartbeat again. Why do years of suppressed feelings have to come out now?

"That I did." He says a little more confidently, before glancing over and gracing me with an award winning smile.
