I set the phone on his stomach and cuddle back up with him, my head again on his chest. I never want this moment to end, that somebody might like me for me. I close my eyes to capture all the feelings we both feel, capture all the sounds and play them back in my head, and capture all the love I know I have for him.

Travis speaks and it snaps my eyes open, curious of what he is saying. With a sincere tone in his voice he starts talking, "you remember that day on the bus so many years ago, when Kelly helped you write that note asking me if I liked you?"

I don't look up at him instead I replied with a simple not feeling the softness of his shirt under my cheek. When he is talking I look up once and a while to see a smile on his face, remembering that day, and that makes me smile to myself seeing him happy.

"I really did like you, but I didn't want to rush into things and we were so young, I didn't want to wreck our friendship, in case I did change my mind. But now looking back at that day I'm glad I made the decision I had because now I know what I truly want and that's you, " he lets out a deep sigh, showing that he is happy he finally let all of that out into the open.

I lift my head I'm not thinking of what to say, instead, I kiss him gently but passionately on the lips. Again I don't notice anything around us, it feels like our first kiss all over again, we keep kissing, my right hand that is on his chest moves to his hair, and to the back of his neck. We give a couple quick kisses, pulling our lips away from the longest kiss so far. He ends it with a sweet kiss on my forehead, and then nuzzle my head back onto his chest.

"You know, I couldn't be happier than I am right now, the next three months and more are going to be awesome."

"I'm happy to," I say with a smile spreading across my lips.

"Wait...what about your parents? What if they say we can't date and be together?"

A frown starts to appear on his face, I reassure him and say, " can I tell you something," he nods in reply. I sit up to face him and let a sigh come out, taking my bangs on my light brown hair and tucking it behind my ears, and start to talk, "well... in sixth grade I started liking Landon, that was probably a month after I asked you out in the note...I have always secretly liked you deep down...my heart always wanted you... but... I always realized Landon more and not you... well... I was stupid to do that because he is with Bridget now and I;m happy for them and I have you now... I told you that because my dad always liked you better than him." I take a long pause and let out another sigh, trying to keep the tears back, I don't know when or why they appeared maybe because it's very personal, and I want this relationship to work out. Welling up in my eyes, by now Travis has sat up and is looking me in my tear filled eyes, he kisses my forehead and pulls me into his chest for a hug.

"I like you too," a smile spreads across my face and I let out a soft chuckle, I close my eyes shut and the tears trickle out, they are not sad ones but happy, happy that I am finally in his arms, that he is mine and I'm his.

"Even though I want to say in your arms all night and have you hold me, I better get going home so you get a good impression with my parents, but we can take a while to get up there," I smile while standing up, I turn towards him and pull him up too. Were standing close, he pulls me into a kiss my arms wrap around his neck, and his arms enclose the space between us even more, I feel the radiating heat coming off him and warming me up from the cool breeze.
