Svelte and Slender Love (Slenderman Love Story)

Chapter 12: Paramount

Nadison’s POV

“Prom date?”

I looked at his pale face, waiting for my answer.

A tear had bolted from my eye.

*sniff*

“Yes!”

I tiptoed enough to reach him to give him a full hug. 

After a moment of silence, thinking it’s time… And in exchange for my answer of yes…

 “All this time… I’ve been dying already to ask for answers….Why didn’t you kill me? Why do you like… hanging out with me?”

I started to gabble.

“Please…. Please tell me, now…” I softly pleaded.

I heard him sigh. I got ready for his answer and I got ready to mock him as well.

“Because….”

“Because there’s something about you….”

“Huh?”

“You make me crazy. You make me repentant for every ghastly thing I’ve ever done. You make me want to be the man I used to be… before this curse….”

I was shocked by his response.

“Uhh… Forget what I said.” He retorted.

I sniggered but in an unwitty way.

“Of course, I won’t”.

“What is it about you?” he queried.

A grin grew on my face, for once I am going to be intrepid, as I’ve never done it before.

 “Why wouldn’t you fall in love with me?” I asked in a sarcastic tone. Wow, I can’t believe I just said that! But it’s one way to lighten him of being so serious…

“Love?” he pondered as if he even didn’t know what this word means.

“Really?”

What?!

Why is he acting so vulnerable right now? Unlike before?

“I am just ribbing you know….” I chuckled a bit. But inside I am serious.

He just glanced at me, looking into my eyes. I actually fell in love with him.

Judging the looks on his face, I’ve decided to be bold.

Slowly, I tiptoed enough to reach his face, placing my hands firmly on his shoulders.

I grazed his mouth with my lips.

He tensed under my lips. Oh my God, why did I do this? I pulled away.

Ash still stared at me as I came back normally on my feet, but half- shocked and in horror. Wow, did I finally scare him?

I just raised my eyebrow, confronting him.

His eyes went to my mouth.

After a few moments, he wrapped his arms around my waist firmly, pulling my body to his. He lifted me off the ground until we were fully face to face. 

I gasped but unknowingly, I had my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms around his neck.

Ash suddenly crushed his mouth to mine.

All my worries and sorrows began to wilt.

Something felt so weird but safe, as our lips clashed together.
