Upside Down Tendrils

Chapter Eleven

I blushed. Jordan so did not just call me pretty and all those other things. Or did he? "Umm..." I said.
Jordan stopped once he saw the look on my face. It was almost like time slowed down. His eyes dimmed, his eyebrows furrowed, his mouth started to lose his oh so illuminescant smile. And then he started talking and I was so confused that I barely heard anything. And then he stopped. We stopped.
He pulled me towards a door across the hall. Opening the door, he beckoned for me to go in, then entered and shut the door. It was dark. His hand found mine. "What are we doing in here?" I whsipered.
"Emily, I need to know something." He breathed into my face. I hadn't realized how close we were.
I nodded, then realized he probably couldn't see me. "Okay, what is it?"
"Do you feel the same as me?" He asked and again, I could feel his breath lighting a fire across my cheeks.
I blushed, "And what would that be?" I asked.
"Butterflies every time we interact. The want to be together. A deep pull. Love." He whispered as if the words were sacred. And they were. To me. No one has ever taken much interest in me. I was always just in the background. Now, my crush, admits he loves me in a dark closet.
Yes, yes, yes. I want to scream. "Jordan, I really like you too and-"
"Then, Emily, would you answer one question for me?" He asks and I feel the yearning for me in the way he holds my hands and breathes onto me. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
No. I should say no. Remember the dude, he told you to stay away. I ignored those thoughts and turned to find Jordan's other hand. "Yes." I whispered.
And with that, his lips came crashing down on mine, his hand on my waist.
