It has been about two months since Lisa has told me she likes me. I honestly have never really thought of Lisa in a girlfriend kind of way but the more I think about it the more I like the idea of being able to call Lisa mine. Lately she has been all I think about. I feel like Lisa and John had something going on when we were at the hospital but I found out he is dating someone after him and Alex broke up. I feel like I need to confess to her just because I don't someone else to see who beautiful she is.

Lisa is a rare human but not in a bad way. The way she thinks is absolutely gorgeous, the sound of her laugh is enough to make the worst days one-hundred times better. I have liked Lisa since the day I met her in kindergarten. I remember going home after the school day and telling my mom I met the person I wanted to marry. I know back then we were just kids, we are still kids now but one day I want to keep my word to marry Lisa. I know Lisa and I aren't even together but some how I feel like we belong together. My mom has always told me 'when you find someone to fall in love don't worry about the physical features look at their eyes because they are the one they that doesn't change.' And since my mom is right I don't care if Lisa changed the way she looks because her eyes are absolutely gorgeous.

I only worry about what if Lisa and I start dating and we end up breaking up. Then we aren't friends anymore. That possibility it the only thing holding me back from confessing to her. Also after seeing what happened between Alex and John after they broke up I don't want that to happen to Lisa and me if we do get together. I also am thinking why are all the 'what ifs' getting in the way of what will happen. I know Lisa likes me she just doesn't know I like her. Since Alex and John broke up Alex hasn't really be hanging out with us that much so it has just been Lisa and I.

Alright I'm going to do this. I will never know if I don't try. I'm just going to text her so we can meet up somewhere. (Text - Mark Lisa )

Hey Lisa. Do you want to hang out later?

I would love too but I have family day today. I'm sorry Mark I really want to hang out.

Update I asked mom and she said if you feel comfortable you can come to family night.

Really? I'm not family so I don't want to intrude.

You are family Mark. You aren't intruding. You should come over. If you aren't having a good time we can go see a movie or something.

Yeah alright I'll come. What time do I need to be at your house?

The 'fun' starts at 6. You should come around 4 so I won't be bored out of my mind. 😁

Alright I'll be there in 10 minutes.

I'll be waiting 😘

What does that face mean? Does she want to kiss me?

Lisa's pov

To say I'm a overly happy for Mark to come over is an understatement. I'm super excited for him to come over. Recently I've been thinking about what happened in the hallway almost two months ago.

*Flashback*

"Where is he right now?" Mark asked me like he didn't understand what I was trying to say.

"H-He is right in front of me" my eyes fell to the floor and my cheeks felt like they were on fire.

"What? You like me?" He said in a shocked tone.
