CHAPTER 8

Newt.

I walked over to the blond, his eyes shinning attractively in the dark. He didn't seem to notice. He was lost in thought. I knocked on the tree trunk, looking down at him. Finally, he looked up.

"Hey. Those grievers.. Honestly, I was scared to death" There it was again- Grievers. I guess it's going to become official. Ha.

"So was I" I grinned widely at him, putting my 'tough girl' act on.

"God, then maybe you should act more like it" He smiled back, a half-hearted smiled.

Instead of answering, I nudged him with my elbow and sat down next to him.

"So, what was this morning about?" I asked, winking at him.

At this, his face burned red and he turned away from me.

"Hmmm?" I pushed. "OH. Are you perhaps.. into meee?" I asked, teasingly.

He turned back to face me, his face brighter than before. Had I hit the spot? Does he actually like me? God, he was so attractive.

"I.." He bit his lip as if debating whether he should continue or not.

"You..?"

"I.. love you"

This left me in a daze. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I want him. I want to lose myself in him; Forget about everything, even if just for a while. Then, on a whim, before I could control what I was doing, I moved toward him. Our faces were 2 centimeters apart. God, he was gorgeous. His eyes. His lips. Everything.

Then, before I even realized what I was doing, I leaned in and kissed him. At first he seemed surprised, but then he kissed me back. God, I wish this would last forever. We kissed; Gently, nibbling at first, then agressively, needing each other.

"Wha-" He breathed when we finally pulled away.

I laid my head on his shoulder. "I love you too, stupid"
